.
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: Water has been changing temperatures 5 or 6 degrees from one spot to another. Wind hasn't been bad and and has died out a bit compared to what it was. Some swells 3 to 5 fet on the pacific and 1 to 3 feet on the Sea of Cortez side.
WEATHER: The weather has gotton hotter and the wind has calmed a bit. Temperatures are in the mid to ladder 90,s but we have had some days over 100 degrees. It looks like summer is setting in and its going to warm the water up and make for some better fishing.
BILLFISHING: Well the big weekend is upon us and lots of people are here for Memorial Day weekend. The weather is great and would be a good time to come down and book a boat to go Sport fishing.
This week started out really good with lots of Marlin from the 1150 to the 95. Marlin fishing was good this week even though we had a big moon which affect the bite, however some of our best fishing is when the moon is full. Off of Chileno about 2 miles we were running into some Marlin using live bait, ballyhoo and lures.
Our boats did hook some Billfish about every day we went out this week. A couple days were kind of slow as it looks as if the Marlin were full of squid. The water temperature is still changing 5 or 6 degrees from area to another. A couple Marlin we caught were in the 140 to 150 pound range and by the end of the week the Marlin fishing had slacked off a bit.
BAIT: Bait is the standard 3.00 dollares a piece and there has been plenty around. DORADO: There was some action Dorado in some of the same areas we were catching Marlin. Most of the Dorado being caught were smaller ones12 to 20 pounds.
INSHORE: Some Sierras caught from the Solmar up to the Pump Station and taken on hootchies. Reports of some Roosterfish being taken in front of the Pedregal and the Light House all taken on live bait. Some Yellowtail still being caught on Rapalas and around Margaritas the is Red Snapper landed in the rocks with live bait. You have to be careful for waves in that area if you are close to shore.
TUNA: Havent heard of any Tuna being caught this week
WAHOO: Not to many this past 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 http://youtu.be/Ld4X16bFT-c
