GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
March 3, 2013
Anglers –
The month of February is now over, there was lots of wind throughout the
period, this last week was no exception, as northerly winds up to 20 mph
prevailed. This created very choppy ocean conditions offshore and limited
options on where anglers were able to comfortably fish. Water temperatures
were now ranging from 69 to 72 degrees throughout the zone. March is the
time when we can see have unpredictable winds, most of the time from the
north, but usually the worst of the winds are over with and we start to see
warmer and calmer days. This is what you would call a seasonal transition
period, winter to spring, great time of year to visit the area while the
climate is so ideal and there will be a wide variety of fishing
opportunities available, from offshore, inshore, as well as bottom action.
Crowds remain light at this time, but we are starting to see the first wave
of spring breakers arrive. Whales remain very active throughout local
waters, this is the final period now, as these mammals will be heading
north soon.
Schools of mackerel and sardinetas are now gone from the grounds off of San
Jose del Cabo, there are some caballito on these same spots and sardinas
are being netting off the beach stretches near San Luis. Ballyhoo are also
available for purchase and have been an option for enticing dorado.
This week there were reports of yellowfin tuna to 30 pounds being found in
good numbers on the Jaime Banks, a long run for most charters and too far
for San Jose fleets. Offshore marlin action slowed during the period,
scattered fish, more billfish found off of the Pacific than towards the Sea
of Cortez. This is the month we normally we would see the striped marlin
moving in this direction, so we do expect to see this same pattern. No tuna
found on the Gordo Banks this week and it was the same story on San Luis
Bank, where the persistent winds made this area off limits most days.
Local fleets out of Puerto Los Cabos found the most consistent action to be
closer to shore, in the direction of San Luis, Cardon, La Fortuna and Punta
Gorda. There were more sierra than any other species found, striking
readily on sardinas and also on rapalas and hoochies, some of these fish
weighed up to 5 lb. Despite it being off season for dorado, there were
surprisingly quite a few of these gamefish still being found, more of them
close to shore where baitfish have been concentrated, compared to offshore
where numbers were limited. Charters were accounted for as many as 4,5 or 6
dorado per day, average weights being 5 to 15 lb., with a few larger
specimens mixed in. Some days these fish preferred the larger sized
ballyhoo baits and on others sardinas worked just as well, a matter of
finding the schools of these fish, not large concentrations of dorado, but
when found the action was fast.
Bottom action was limited due to choppy conditions, but there was some
quality eating fish available when conditions allowed, cabrilla, yellow
snapper, barred pargo, huachinango and triggerfish were the most common
species now accounted for off of the rocky structure. Anglers reported
mixed success while using yo-yo jigs and various whole and cut baits.
This week the combined panga fleets launching out of Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 62 charters and anglers accounted for a fish
count of: 6 yellowfin tuna, 192 dorado, 255 sierra, 19 roosterfish, 12 jack
crevalle, 3 amberjack, 16 cabrilla, 26 yellow snapper, 15 huachinango ( red
snapper), 12 barred pargo and 16 triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
