Anglers –
December 2, 2018
Well the main busy fall season has now
come to an end, as crowds of tourists
and visiting anglers have lightened
considerably, this is the normal
pattern after the Thanksgiving Holiday,
as people have other priorities and are
now gearing up for Christmas Holiday
coming up in several weeks. This is now
actually a great time to visit, with
the crowds down, this gives the bait
supply a chance to replenish, also
means less boat pressure on the fishing
grounds, typically through the month of
December we are still targeting the
same gamefish species, such as
yellowfin tuna, dorado, wahoo, as well
as striped marlin.
Through much of this week we again felt
the north winds, not as bad as the
previous week, but still gusting and
making for rougher conditions. Ocean
temperature has been in the 77 to 79
degree range though most of the region.
Main live bait being offered is
caballito, also ballyhoo and slabs of
squid available. Local fleets were
mainly fishing the grounds from Red
Hill to Gordo Banks, Iman, San Luis and
as far north as Vinorama. Overall the
action was more sporadic and spread
out, really no particular hot spot from
day to day, numbers of fish caught were
less, but still there were some nice
catches accounted for. On these grounds
the main species being found are
yellowfin tuna, dorado or wahoo. Not
much going on off the bottom besides
triggerfish and a few early morning
snapper and cabrilla.
Every day we hear of one or two larger
sized tuna being hooked into, most of
these were taken off of the Gordo
Banks, in recent days we weighed
yellowfin of 145 lb., 220 lb. and a
super cow 334 lb. landed late afternoon
Friday aboard the center console
“Jaqueline”, several other big fish
lost after long battles. Slow trolling
larger baits or drift fishing with
strips of squid produced hook ups. Tuna
were found from Iman to Vinorama as
well, most of these in the 10 to 70 lb.
class, but numbers were few and far
between.
Dorado action was very good early in
the week, especially off of Red Hill
area, but then this action became more
spread out, trolling ballyhoo or
caballito seemed to be the best bet for
finding these schooling dorado. The
fish being encountered have ranged up
to 20 lb. There are a lot of wahoo in
the area, but getting them to bite has
been the hard part. Many wahoo are
striking while anglers are drifting
with squid for tuna, these fish have
not been striking trolled lures as well
as they do at times. Best chances seem
to come now on slow trolled baits, such
as caballito or chihuil. Lots of spear
fishing pressure now, this is the
season the divers come out in force,
the deal is that there are now far
greater numbers of spear fishermen that
are congregating on the same grounds
that the rod and reel anglers are and
we do notice that this does make the
fish that much more spooky and elusive.
Inshore areas are fragile and cannot
sustain such pressure.
Along the shoreline there have been
some roosterfish, jack crevalle, most
roosters being smaller fish, but we
heard of an occasional much larger
specimen caught and released, not the
normal deal for this time of year.
Billfish bite has mainly been on the
Pacific now, good number of striped
marlin, though a handful of stripers
are being seen around the Iman Banks
and the Gordo Banks
The combined panga fleets launching out
of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina
sent out approximately 104 charters for
the week. Anglers reported a fish count
of: 7 striped marlin, 135 dorado, 36
wahoo, 85 yellowfin tuna, 34 bonito, 14
white skipjack, 8 red snapper, 11
yellow snapper, 4 cabrilla, 5 sierra,
18 roosterfish, 4 jack crevalle and 90
triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
