Epic Pelagic Action
Epic Pelagic Action
Jul 8, 2023 Cabo San Lucas
**hidden content** Dock F, IGY Marina. Conditions: Weather was rough at the begining of the week with a storm aproaching Cabo from the south then slowly moving west offshore. This made for a rough time fishing offshore for the pelagics, with warm water coming in thanks to el niรฑo weather. Water temperatures are above 80 degrees, days remain sunny with few cattered clouds. Species: Striped Marlin, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Swordfish, Dorado/Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna. Throughout the week numbers have been steady and increasing all over the map there is a wide range of species biting. From reports of Swordfish, to the unexpected hookups of black and blue marlin with several breaking off on light tackle. Big billfish are showing up early and catching crews off guard. Striped Marlin: From offshore on the lighthouse to the 95, 1150, horseshoe. We are raising Striped Marlin trolling lures, rigged bait, teasers, and dredges. Casting live bait from the bow, or dropping live bait in the spread when they come up behind lures. Dorado / Mahi Mahi: Big Bulls have moved in with the warmer water, they were first reported in the sea of cortez. We caught one over 55lbs the week before, with one 45lb and another at 35lbs the following days. They are still biting in good numbers. On medium and small lures, rigged bait, or small live bait. YFTuna: Have made a much anticipated appereance we found a couple of schools of porpoise producing good numbers of football sized tuna. They key to a succesfull tuna trip is leaving port early, and spending the fuel for running a good 15 - 20 miles to where warm water and temperature breaks converge with water currents. We do this while scanning the water with our Gyro stabilized binoculars. One single trip produced 8 yellowfin for our guests. Roosters: Few on live mullet with luck you will get a bite on the pacific side. Tips: The early morning is producing the best fishing. lures in bright colors are working well. Overall highly experienced and knowledgeable crews have best chances of catching fish in current conditions. High quality tackle has definitely been a factor in increasing odds of success.

Stripey release and Mahi for dinner!
Feb 22, 2023 Cabo San Lucas
Conditions: Calm weather with winds of up to 12 knots. Swells are calm on average 3ft with the pacific side having more wind waves and colder water below 69 degrees. As forecasted the wind from Cabo to the Sea of Cortez has calmed and remains at a light breeze. Weather is pleasant low temps have been at low 60s and highs at mid 70s. Sunny days and few clouds. Species: Striped Marlin, Sierra Mackerel, Dorado/Mahi, Roosterfish. Fishing this week has been productive with a hardworking crew. Striped Marlin: Remain relatively close to shore south of Cabo San Lucas to San Jose Del Cabo. The water on the Pacific side has cooled to below 69 degrees pushing the pelagic south into water that is 69 to 71 degrees. The bite on lures and dead rigged baits has slowed. The most succesfull hookups are pitching live bait to them from the bow once we spot them on the surface. Dorado / Mahi Mahi: Scattered throughout the same general area hitting small lures, and live bait once there is a hookup or small school sighted. YFTuna: Remain out of range for the charter fleet. Private outfits report them at 60 to 70 miles offshore south east. Sierra Mackerel: Abundant inshore on the Pacific side. Trolling green hoochies. Roosters are biting inshore on the Pacific side, a few miles north. Abundant live bait is recomended to drift fish for them. Tips: The early morning and late afternoon hours are producing the best fishing. Live bait and lures in bright colors are working well. Overall highly experienced and knowledgeable crews have best chances of catching fish in current conditions. High quality tackle has definitely been a factor in increasing odds of success.
