THE CABO SAN LUCAS FISHING REPORT FOR THE GAVIOTA SPORTFISHING FLEET AND FISH CABO FLEET
Following a 3 day closure of the Port of Cabo San Lucas, (June 6,7 & 8) the fleet was looking forward to the beginning of the Tuesday morning start for the week.........
The Gaviota Sportfishing Fleet reported it's first blue marlin on Wednesday, June 10, 2015, that tilted the scale at 180 lbs. The fish was taken on live bait by an angler aboard the "Gaviota III", and was the first blue marlin for their fleet this season. According to our dockside reporter for the Gaviota Sportfishing Fleet, Carlos Pena-Mireles, the fish was hooked deep and would not have survived the release. The "Gaviota III" had the only blue marlin for the week and the only two dorado for the week and added a couple of stripers into their 2 fishing days. High billfish boat or the week was the "Tuna Time", skippered by Captain Roberto Marquez, with a total of 4 stripers for their 2 days fished. According to Captain Roberto Marquez, the Bryan Howard family of five, all from Thousand Oaks, CA, fulfilled their 3 children's "bucket list" with each landing a billfish. Overall fish counts for the short fishing week reflected 1 blue marlin, 19 stripers, (16 releases) 2 dorado, 1 jack crevalle, (toro) 2 roosterfish and 2 skipjack for a combined total of 21 days fished.
Cabo Climate: Hurricane Blanca left the area with more scare than anything else. The Port was open again Monday morning and everyone was back to fishing following the 2-day closure a little rain and too much wind. It is now sunny & warm days with air temps varied between 70 nights to 91 daytime highs and a 55% humidity rate.
Sea Conditions: Following the episode with Blanca, the ocean calmed down and became downright fishable, starting first thing Tuesday morning. The Pacific side is reflecting surface temps at 71-72 at the lower end of the peninsula to Cabo Falso, rising to 75-76 from Cabo San Lucas to Chileno. Outside at the 95 Fathom Spot and on up toward the Gorda Banks, the water varied from 77 to 83 degrees. Overall, the sea surface was good for fishing and improving by the day. Surface breezes flowing in from the Northwest to about 21 mph but not having a great deal of affect on the Sea of Cortez side of Cabo where the action is taking place.
Best Fishing Area: Continued in the area of the 95 Fathom Spot to the 1150 Fathom Spot and in closer toward the beach a few miles.
Best Lure/Bait: It was about a 50-50 day for much of the billfish action. Fish Cabo had a double on the artificials Wednesday, landing/releasing both fish and landing/releasing another on bait.
Live Bait Supply: The supply remained good and held up well through the Hurricane. Live bait remains readily available at the $3.00 per bait rate.
