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: Well weather has been really nice all this past week with highs in the mid to ladder 80,s and lows in the low 70,s to mid 60,s. Really nice weather but it hasn't cooled anything like past Decembers but maybe in January. Over the last 2 years I have noticed this time of year isn't cooling like it used to years gone by. Anyway we aren't complaining about it and it makes for a nice smooth ride when out fishing.
WATER: After reviewing the Tempbreak map I see we do have pockets of 82 degree water still in the area. I also did notice some of that warm water is on the Pacific side as far north as Rancho Migrino. There is a mass of it in our area straight off the point out a few miles and stretching all the way up inside the Sea of Cortez. This is all good news for us as warm water like this in the area means fish for us over the next week.

BILLFISH: Marlin fishing at the beginning of the week was very good with lots of Striped Marlin caught up at the San Jamie on live bait and lures and also a few Blues have been landed. We do have 82 degree water and we do have a full moon which has slowed the fishing a bit but when we get past the moon cycle we expect the fishing to pick back up as long as the water stays warm. The fish are out there and you are liley to catch a Marlin if you were to be here and fishing.
DORADO: The Dorado fishing still is slower as it was last week but there were a few landed up at Margarita and caught using live bait and lures. We are not sure how the Dorad fishing is going to play out over the next couple weeks.
WAHOO: The Wahoo fishing is still pretty god all week and most are being landed tight to the beach from Solmar to Rancho Migrino with rapalas on down riggers. Some fish were also caught using jet heads but most of the Wahoo have been smaller ones from 10lb to 30lb.
TUNA: The first part of last week was very good for Tuna with lots of fish from the doughnut to San Jamie Banks. If you can find the Porpoise you will find the Tuna and some big fish were caught using cedar plugs and live bait this past week. Some Tuna caught at the start of the week were ranging from 75lb to 150lb.
INSHORE: The inshore fishing hasn't been to great with a few Dorado and Wahoo from Solmar to the Pump House. There has been a few Roosters being caught but nothing major.

Rooster Fish Ideas?
A challenging game fish, roosterfish isn't usually considered a tasty food fish. Its distinctive dorsal fins -- seven thin, long spines -- rise when the fish becomes excited, giving the fish its common name. An in-shore species found in the eastern Pacific Ocean from southern California to Peru, its meat is tough and has a strong flavor. Look to the cuisine of the folks who reside on the shores near the roosterfish's habitat for the proper ways to cook this beautiful fish.
Instructions
Fillet the fish with a sharp fillet knife. Place the fillet on a work surface, skin side down. With larger game fish like roosterfish, hold the tail as you slice away the skin from the meat, placing your hand on the skin as you work your way up the fillet.
Remove the bloodline; roosterfish have large bloodlines, which can give the fish a strong flavor. Once you remove the fillet from the skin, lay the fillet skin side up to expose the bloodline. Cut about 1/2-inch deep along both sides of the bloodline in a "V" shape to completely remove it.
Cut the roosterfish fillets into around cubes, sprinkle them with salt and black pepper and marinate them for 30 minutes in lime juice. Saute the fish in a skillet over high heat until lightly browned, then lower the heat to medium and cook for about five more minutes. Like other members of the jack family, roosterfish has firm flesh and flakes when done.
After the fish is done, add chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic and pepper to the pan. When the vegetables are soft, add the fish and combine well.You also can salt and dry rooosterfish in the sun for two days and then slice it thin. The strips can be fried or added to sandwiches.
Rooster Fish Info!!!
The roosterfish, Nematistius pectoralis, is a game fish found in the warmer waters of the East Pacific from Baja California to Peru. It is the only species in the genus Nematistius and the family Nematistiidae. It is distinguished by its "rooster comb", seven very long spines of the dorsal fin.
The roosterfish has an unusual arrangement of its ears: the swim bladder penetrates the brain through the large foramina and makes contact with the inner ear. It uses its swim bladder to amplify sounds.
Roosterfish can reach over 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) in length and over 50 kg (110 lb) in weight.The weight of the average fish hooked is about 20 lb (9.1 kg). The fish is popular as a game fish, but it is not considered a good eating fish.
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 dont 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.
