Cabo San Lucas - Saltwater Fishing Report
Jc Sportfishing Weekly Fish Report.
As the Admiral Seas It
Fishing Report: 4/7/13 to 4/15/13
.
Now is the time to come to Cabo as the fishing is still really good and not only that there is some really good deals on airfares lately as Spirit Airlines has some really good deals. You might want to look into this and also if you are in LA or San Diego you might think about flying out of Tijuana as the rates are much cheaper for TJ to Cabo, just something to think about.
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 has 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.
WATER: It has been cold in some areas and warmer in others. Really varying from spot to spot. This has been one of the reasons fishing has been so bad this week. Surf on the Pacific side is 3 to 6 feet. Sea of Cortez side did see some good waves over the last few days about 3 to 5 feet. Really nice at Zippers.
WEATHER: Well the weather has been really good but we have had some pretty strong winds blowing in the afternoons. Really nice days as far as temperature goes. Highs in the upper 80,s with low getting pretty cool dropping down to lower 60,s with even some nights dipping into the ladder 50,s.
BILLFISHING: The fishing has been really slow over this past week. Its that time of year where water temperatures vary and wind is blowing hard in afternoons. Some marlin down by Gordo Banks. The 1150 and 95 areas did see some action also but really slow over last week. Cold water and varying temperatures along with the afternoon winds are making things really suck. Last week we were ding pretty good with some fair amounts of marlin being caught. We will see what the new week brings us.
BAIT: Bait is the standard 3.00 dollares a piece and there has been plenty around. DORADO: We did get some Dorado up around the Golden Gate. The Bob Marlin caught 3 small ones. It has really been a tough week for fishing.
INSHORE: Some Yellowtail at Grey Rock but the fish cops are there a lot. They don't allow you to fish in that area anymore. So you have to go early in morning when there not around. Some Sierra around, but again nothing to brag about.There were some Groupers caught off the Pedregal rocks by local fisherman who sell to restaurants.
TUNA: There were a couple reports of Tuna but very little. Most were like football sizes really nothing to brag about
WAHOO: I haven't heard of any Wahoo this week.
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. There are many sportfishing fleets on the internet who are really not established business, who are operating illegally. Lots of these outfits are renting you a boat they have never even looked at and don't even know where you would board the boat, leaving you the task of trying to find the boat. 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. Lots of vendors renting boats in the hotels are not reputable and don't care about your interest and care more about a commission . 75% of the Cabo Fishing websites on Google are not even in business anymore or might be just brokers who don't have an office in Cabo. Some of the Google websites are misleading and not established .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. You need to go to the fishing fleet office, while in Cabo and book your boat. 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.http://www.jcsportfishing.com
