Taking Fish Home from Cabo Info Inside?


WEATHER: It has been really hot over the last week but we have some cloud cover over last 24 hours so it has cooled a bit. We do expect to get some needed rain out of this storm down south which is tropical storm Javier. Forcasts are for lots of rain and not sure yet if we will get any high winds but they are saying 40 to 50 MPH. As I sit and write this report there is some rain starting to fall, so I do know its going to be wet over the next couple days and I expect them to close the port on Monday due to rain and churning seas.


WATER: Pretty rough seas over the next couple days with tropical storm Javier passing by us here at the tip. The swells have been big on the pacific and are expected to get bigger about 6 to 8 feet in height and 4 to 6 feet on the Sea of Cortez side. This should all get better by Wednesday and clearing. Go to Tempbreak.com to check out map. 


TUNA: Tuna fishing has slowed down over a couple weeks ago. Two weeks ago we were catching big Tuna but now it has dwindled to some football size fish and just a few in the 200lb range. You have to run to get to the fish, normally like 15 to 16 miles out. I don’t know when Mexico is going to wake up and start protecting the sport fishing and all the tourist dollars that come into the area because of fishing. It seems no one is thinking of the long term affects this will have on the tourist and sport fishing industry. Not only that the sport fishing and tourist industry employee many, many families here in Los Cabos.


BILLFISH: Well, I can tell you its happening for Blue Marlin, probably the best Blue season I have seen in many years, with everyone and his brother landing the big boys. It has been crazy over the last week with like 3 marlin per boat being reported. Both, Striped and Blues are whats hot. The Bisbee eastcape tournament was happening all last week and there was a total of 110 Marlin caught during the 3 day tournament. The winning fish was 427lbs and second place was 316 lbs. Most fish have been taken on live bait and lures. The Sailfish bite has been good all week also, with quite a few being caught. 


DORADO: The Dorado are starting to show a bit. There have been some nice ones caught weighing in at around 30 to 35lbs. Most fish are tight to the beach ½ mile out and are taking lures and striped bait slow trolled. Please if you are catching baby Dorado throw them back for another day. You will be surprised how fast they will grow over a year. If they aren’t over 10 pounds you might think about throwing them back.


INSHORE: The inshore fishing has been kind of slow with a few small Roosters from Solmar to the Light House and lots of Skip Jack like week before. The Skip Jack are great for some light tackle action for the kids.
