WEATHER:
Well, it wasn’t too bad over the last week with some sunny days. It has been
cloudy about half of the time with overcast skies. We did get a little rain on
a couple different occasions but nothing major. It has been pretty humid and hot
that’s for sure as it feels like September here now.
WATER:
Mostly warm water in our area now on both sides the Pacific and Sea of Cortez
side. The temps I noticed on the Tempbreak map was 82 to 88 degrees, which is
pretty warm all over. If we could get some decent weather I think the fishing
would be off the hook. Please check out Tempbreak to get a
good idea on water temperatures.
BILLFISH:
Well the Blue Marlin fishing has been been really Hot with our boats hooking
and releasing many big Blues over the past week. Some of the Blues we caught
were tipping the scales at 180lb, 240lb, 270lb, 350lb with many hooked but not
landed. The fish are taking lures and live bait, along with small Tuna and
Skipjack. They seem to be spread out all over the place from the 95 to the Old
Light House. We are catching both Blue Marlin and Striped Marlin as I write
this report. Warm water has moved into the area and I think this is bringing the
Marlin in especially the Blues. So they are here but they are spread out all
over the place from the Pacific side to Sea of Cortez side.
DORADO: We
are having great fishing but the sad part out of all of this is that the Dorado
action isn’t happening too much. We are picking up a few small ones here and
there but really nothing to speak of. The Dorado fishing should be in full
swing right now and it isn’t. We think it could be the fact that the commercial
boats have been netting the Sardines up at Mag Bay and using the Sardines for
fertilizer. The Dorado follow the Sardines from up north down to Cabo so, if
there isn’t any Sardines there is no Dorado.
SWORDFISH:
Hasn’t heard of any caught this week.
WAHOO: I did
hear of one Wahoo being caught this past week.
TUNA: Great
week for Tuna this past week with some really big ones being landed. Our own
Bob Marlin did land a 150lb Tuna and another at 200lb. So, we have had a good
week as far as Tuna go and we know some of the other fleets did have a good Tuna
week also. Most big Tuna we cauht we had to run outside to about the 16 mile
mark and as far out as 25 miles. So, you do have to work for them but there is
lots of big Tuna in the area to be taken. The 1150 all the way up to the San
Jamie Banks is the hot areas.
INSHORE: A
few Rooster fish after the port opened is all that was reported.
