Cabo San Lucas - Saltwater Fishing Report

PISCES WEEKLY FISH REPORT MAY 22ND TO 29TH

PISCES WEEKLY FISH REPORT

MAY 23RD TO 29TH 2001

BILLFISH: A pretty decent week here in Cabo with a seventy-eight percent overall catch success rate for all species combined, with fifty-eight percent of boats catching striped marlin. We are still waiting though, for an explosion of striped marlin, which we feel should happen in the next couple of weeks if it is to happen at all. Otherwise blue marlin season will be upon us. Again, we believe the unusual fishing pattern is due to unseasonably colder weather - right now there seems to be a lack of consistency both in the weather and fishing. While some boats got three marlin in a day, others were skunked. J.D Lee from Sanger Ca. fishing with Rokki Ford Roberts from Houston, were fortunate to release three stripers on May 27th, aboard “La Brisa” ;one of their fish was estimated to be well over 200 lbs. Craig and Marilyn Lawhead from Carlsbad, Ca. were also lucky, to get three stripers, fishing aboard “Andrea” on May 29th. There were a few other days, when people got two in a trip, such as Frank Rasile and David Kilroy, both from Staten Island, N.Y, aboard ”Ruthless” on May 23rd, and Jordan Thomasson and Kevin Balcom, from Chino Hills, one each, on this same boat a few days later. David Critelli and Bill Perry, both from New Jersey and a couple on “Tracy Ann” on the 26th and John Burnett and Charlotte Trout, on Andrea on the 28th. The boats are still having to go a long way to find fish, ranging from the 95 spot to out past Destiladeres. On May 24th, Stephen Kemp from Laguna Niguel, Ca. had an enviable catch in a 180 lb swordfish caught aboard Gaviota. Pisces anglers caught a total of 31 striped marlin this week of which 29 were released. Weights are from 110 to 180 lbs.

OTHER SPECIES: It looked like dorado catches were on the rise, but they slumped again this week, just being found in one’s and two’s with weights good at 40 to 60 lbs. Few yellowfin tuna with a few boats getting lucky and finding some small pockets, but nobody caught more than four, in the 15 to 25 lb range. Fair catches on wahoo, being picked up as an incidental catch whilst trolling –weights average at 45 to 55 lbs. Quite a lot of action inshore with roosterfish in the 15 to 25 lb class, bonita, amberjack and red snapper to 25 lbs.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: Very windy on the Pacific, with whitecaps all week and fog most mornings, the Sea of Cortez was kinder, but the wind did pick up as the afternoon started. Skies clear and sunny, but cooler than normal.

LOCATION:95 spot to Destiladeres and shipwreck for smaller game.

AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 75 F

BEST LURES: Live bait.
