Jc Charges fish report editor with "tampering with evidence and spying" and vows revenge!! Jc the owner of Jc Sportfishing and the so called King of Big Game Sportfishing in Cabo' has done it again and this time he might have taken things a little too far? Calling me, the editor of the fish report a Spy' and told me I was trying to infiltrate his fishing kingdom and in his own words to me, Jc said, "I will ship you back to Southern Missouri to fish for Bullheads if I have to". Ok Jc, prove Spying and tampering with evidence charges!!! Next week I will explain the charges Jc has levied against me!!! STAY TUNED?? For now lets get to the report!!
Jc Sportfishing Charters is a family owned and operated business and has been fishing in Cabo San Lucas for the past 18 years. Jerry, explains that his charter business is geared more for families and novice anglers, making sure everyone who charters a boat with him have a great time and lots of fun. We welcome families, and groups. We want everyone who fishes with us to take all the sites in and have a memorable experience. This is what is most important to us. We have and do a few tournaments each year and can cater to fisherman who might be interested in tournament fishing. Well lets get on with the fishing report for this past week.
WEATHER: It has been pretty darn nice here in Cabo over the last week with mostly sunny days and warm weather. I remembered last Sunday as I was writing the report it was raining, but really not the case this week it has been really nice all week. Most days highs are in the low to mid 80,s and lows from low 60,s to mid 60,s. I was driving along the coast yesterday going towards San Jose in the Cabo Real area and I looked out at the water and it was so calm and looked like a lake.
WATER: The water has really just started to change into cooler temperatures and we have some green water in the area and that isn't helping matters any.

BILLFISH: Well, I hate to say it, but the fishing has been pretty slow over this past week with just a few Marlin off the light House on live bait. Most of the decent fishing has been on the Pacific side and we had to run like at least 15 to 35 miles north to get into some good action but even that was hit and miss. Not sure what to expect this coming week we are hoping it turns around.
DORADO: Pretty slow Dorado fishing and it is really spotty everywhere with nothing schooling up. The day we did run on our own Bob Marlin up the coast 35 miles by Cerritos area, we did catch 7 Dorado that day and 2 Wahoo. One of our buddies did run down to Gordo Banks but not much luck he only caught one little Dorado.
WAHOO: We caught a couple up and around Cerritos beach north of Cabo but really that is about it?
TUNA: None!!! I haven't heard of a lot of of Tuna being landed this past week. If you do run into them, I think you will have to run offshore about 25 to 35 miles to maybe run into them if you can find a school of Porpoise.
INSHORE: Well the Sierra fishing inshore has even slowed this past week and we're hoping with the cooler weather that the Yellowtail show up soon. The Sierras have been landed using hootchies in front of the Solmar to the Light House. There has been some Red Snappers also in the Pedregal Rocks caught on live bait. Really most of our fishing this past week has been way up the Pacific about 12 to 35 miles.

BEWARE: Please beware of the guys in the street selling boat charters. If you wait till the day you are fishing and go to the dock where your boat is many times people will mislead you to another boat or dock trying to put you on a boat that was not meant for you. You need to have a person guide you to your boat, who is from a reputable charter company. This way there is no confusion or misleading. Please remember when renting Sport fishing boats in Cabo that you rent your boat from reputable and established business. Walk into a fishing fleet office and ask questions about what you are getting and what are the costs? You don't want to rent boats from vendors in the streets and you do not want to book through shady websites offering you the world. Check through travel forums about reputable fishing fleets to deal with. Look for testimonials about the fleet your booking, your charter with. Ask about what will the boat be supplying? Will it include beverages or lunches? How much does it cost to fillet your catch? Check to see if charter boat is insured? Ask about getting your catch smoked? Check cost of a fishing license. These are just a few things to consider when booking your charter boat. We will be talking more about this in the next weeks fishing report. Until next time good fishing and we hope to see you in Cabo soon.
