FLY HOOKER SPORTFISHING, Cabo Fish Report June 16-22, 2008 WEATHER: Things have changed just a bit on the weather front, as of the middle of the week the wind quit blowing 24 hours a day and has just started blowing around 1 pm every day. That has made the afternoon temps comfortable and the early morning very nice, at least on shore. Our daytime highs have been in the mid 80’s and the nighttime lows in the high 60’s. No rain this week and we had mostly sunny skied. WATER: Back and forth, back and forth, that is what the water temperatures have been doing to us as the California current brings cold water our way and then weakens and the Cortez warm water pushes our way. As of the end of the week instead of the 61 degree water we were having right here in the bay of Cabo at the beginning of the week, the water warmed up to 69 degrees out front, 62 degrees on the Pacific side of the Cape and 77 degrees from Gray Rock and north to the Punta Gorda area. Off shore, to the south and the Pacific side the water is green, it does not really clear up until you get to the north of the Gorda Banks. Surface conditions on the Pacific side have been pretty rough this week with the strong winds, later in the week the mornings have been all right until the wind starts to kick in, then it becomes choppy. The swells on the Pacific side are 4-6 feet with an occasional swell at 8+ feet, mostly due to the constant wind. On the Cortez side of the Cape the mornings have been great, and the water up past the Santa Maria area has been good most of the day. Coming home from that area has been rough in the afternoon as the wind starts to come more from the west later in the day.
FISHING: BILLFISH: There was no change from last week for the Marlin report. The Marlin bite at the beginning of the week was not bad but as soon as the cold water started to wrap around the Cape the fish moved up the sea of Cortez and the ones that stayed around here stopped biting. At the end of the week you were lucky to get a chance to throw bait at a fish. YELLOWFIN TUNA: The white flags I saw this week were for Bonita that were caught close to the beach, I did not hear of anyone getting into any numbers of Yellowfin, but there were a few scattered football size fish caught. DORADO: There were a few scattered Dorado found up around the Punta Gorda area, but that was about it. They were caught by boats drifting with live bait for the most part, but a few were caught on trolled lures. WAHOO: The full moon should have resulted in some Wahoo, but the water was too cold. INSHORE: If you wanted to catch fish this week, a Panga fishing inshore was the way to go. The anglers were doing well on Sierra to 8 pounds, lots of Yellowtail to 10 pounds as well as a scattering of Bonito and Amberjack as well as Jack Crevalle. The Roosterfish that we had seen several weeks ago have been absent, probably due to the cooler waters. Most of the action on these fish took place between the arch and the lighthouse on the Pacific side and outside the Cabo del Sol-Palmilla area on the Cortez side.
NOTES: Checking on my reports form this time last year, it looks like a repeat so far. In 2006 we were catching Blue and Black Marlin already and the water was nice and warm. Hopefully we will see the warm water soon and the fishing will turn around. Until then, keep your fingers crossed! Until next week, tight lines!
AS OF JAN 23RD, 2007 EVERYONE MUST HAVE A PASSPORT TO TRAVEL TO AND FROM MEXICO!!!!!
