Take apart a steelhead spin-and-glow. Slide a small bead down your leader on top of your hoochy ( plastic skirt )
slide on the spinner. Looks great trolling for halibut, stripers. Probably makes some noise too while going through the water.. Have fun |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
November 29, 2020
Moderate crowds of tourists visited this Thanksgiving week, enjoying the
fall conditions and multitude of outdoor activities. We felt persistent
north winds through the week, finally tapering off some over the weekend.
These conditions made for rougher seas, especially on the grounds to the
north of Punta Gorda. Scattered morning cloud cover, giving way to plenty
of warm sunshine, as daytime highs were in the low to mid 80s and ocean
temperature was also averaging about 80 degrees. Still good amounts of
sardinas found schooling around marina jetty, also caballito, ballyhoo and
slabs of squid being offered.
Overall the fishing action was tougher this week, a lot of this due to the
winds beating the northern grounds. On Monday there were two impressive cow
sized yellowfin tuna brought in, one of 200 b., found outside of San Luis
Bank during normal mid-day hours, the other tuna, which was hooked into on
the Gordo Banks later in the afternoon and fought for 3 ½ hours before
finally being boated, brought back in the dark after 8 p.m., this cow was
estimated at well over 300 lb. It hit on a trolled skipjack for a team of
local La Playita anglers, headed by legend Eduardo Aripez.
The rest of the week the tuna action was scarce, there were a couple of
days when fleets found some smaller sized yellowfin associated with moving
porpoise and a handful of tuna in the 40 to 70 lb. class were hooked into
while soaking baits on the grounds from Iman to San Luis, but again most of
the entire week these areas were very choppy due to the winds.
Dorado were scattered, some days we saw more than others, though again most
of these dorado were under ten pounds. Wahoo action was encountered on the
grounds north of Punta Gorda, to Vinorama, but action was spotty, mix sizes
of fish were taken, from sierra sized 4 lb. fish, up to trophy sized
tournament contending wahoo of 60 lb. These fish hit on Rapalas, sardinas,
yo-yo and more anglers are now starting to try their luck at obtaining
chihuil and using them for trap hooked trolling baits.
Not a whole lot of bottom action being done, winds did not make this an
easy option, highlight were a handful of amberjack and dogtooth snapper,
but more triggerfish, bonito or small pargo/snapper, compared to anything
else. Closer to shore and mainly towards Cabo San Lucas we were seeing some
sierra, most of these taken on sardinas, hoochies or small rapalas, sizes
up to five pounds.
We have heard of wide open action for striped marlin being found on the
Pacific banks, though off of San Jose del Cabo we saw more sailfish, a pair
of black marlin, one blue marlin and also a few striped marlin were brought
in from pangas, no big numbers like on the Pacific.
Good fishing, Eric
