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 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. Lets get on with the report for this past week.
WEATHER: The wind has definitely died down and the weather is staying really good with the heat is starting to set in big time. This year has been unusually warmer all year even throughout our so called winter months. Highs in the low to mid 90,s and lows in the ladder to mid70,s has kept the weather very pleasant. The wind has died down and that has helped the fishing big time.
WATER: The water is getting warmer and since the wind has died some it seems to have stabilized the water temperatures so the warm water fish are starting to come back into play. This time of year we never know what the currents are going to do so the water temps can change pretty fast and this will effect fishing and what is biting. Luckely the Striped Marlin are acustom to the cooler temperatures and we have different species of fish to choose from as the water changes from warm to cold. The Dorado are warm water fish and the Yellowtail are more cold water fish making for a cool contrast throughout the season. It actually gives us the best of both worlds through the season.
BILLFISH: The Marlin fishing has really picked up and we have doing really good over this past week. We have been catching big numbers of Marlin and lots of fish have been taken at the 1150 spot early in the week and they were taken on ballyhoo and live bait and now it seems the fish are starting to move north as the water warms. The last couple days the fish had moved to the 95 spot also and we had 3 boats out on Friday when we came upon some great fishing and we landed 9 Marlin. Another important bit of news to let you guys know about is that the first Blue Marlin of the season was taken off of Chileno Bay and it tipped the scales at 500lbs. So that is some good news for what is in store for us over the summer months with the water warming and Blue and Black Marlin are starting to show up in our fishing grounds.
DORADO: The Dorado fishing is so so and not as hot as it was last week. We were landing them on lures and ballyhoo. Most are being caught in the same spots as the Marlin down around the 95 spot and up off the Light House to San Jamie and they are being landed using ballyhoo
TUNA: I haven't heard of any Tuna being caught this past week.
INSHORE: The inshore fishing has remained spotty at best a few Marlin have been taken on some of the Pangas from Solmar to the Light House has been good. The Rooster fishing should start to pick up soon as there has been a few nice ones taken this week in the 25lbs range on live bait it is just really a little early for them right now. We should start to see the big ones roll in in 2 to 3 weeks.
WAHOO: There are still some Wahoo around and they were being caught on jet heads. There has been a few Wahoo caught this past week with warmer water temperatures in the area.
From The Admirals Kitchen
Broiled Grouper Parmesan
"Fresh grouper is my absolute favorite. It is a mild fish and this recipe may entice even those who don't like fish to make it a favorite. The recipe is super easy and can be served with a minimum preparation and cooking time. Perfect for a warm summer evening supper. Garnish with lemon twists and parsley before serving."
2 pounds fresh grouper fillets
2 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup soften butter
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 dash hot pepper sauce or tabasico
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Preheat the oven's broiler.
2. Place the grouper fillets on a greased baking tray. Brush them with lemon juice. In a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Set aside.
3. Broil the fillets for 4 to 6 minutes, until they can be flaked with a fork. Remove from the oven and spread the cheese mixture on top of fillets.
4. Return to the broiler for an additional 30 seconds, or until the topping is browned and bubbly.
BEWARE: Remember if your not renting charter boats from companies who have been established in Cabo for the past 20 years ( Jc sport Fishing, Pisces Sport Fishing, Minervas, Redrum, Picante Fleet) you might have problems. They don't even have an office you can go and confirm your charter boat. You do not want to spend a day walking around looking for the boat and where you board. 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 fishing license. These are just a few things to consider when booking your charter boat. We will be talking more about this in next weeks fishing report. Until next time good fishing and we hope to see you in Cabo soon. Come by the office here in Cabo and get all the latest up to date fishing report. www.jcsportfishing.com http://youtu.be/zNBk33jCjCk
