Jc Sportfishing Weekly Fish Report.
As the Admiral Seas
It
Fishing Report: 2/17/13 to
2/24/13
.
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: The water
has been really weird and hard to predict with some days its green and cold and
next day its blue and warmer. Water temperature changing from one area to
another by 6 or 7 degrees. Normally when
when water is like that we have to cover a lot of ground in our boat to get to
the good fishing. So with the wind and swells and overcast days its been a lot of
work to get into the good fishing but were not doing to bad considering.
WEATHER: The wind has been really effectingthe fishing this past week. With some days of strong wind and
overcast days we really haven’t been able to predict conditions. Nights have
been really cool with some nights dropping down to 46 degrees and then warming
back up to mid 80,s if it isn’t overcast. Today for example started off nice
then got cooler in the afternoon. Probabely around 80 today at its peak. So as
of lately, we don’t know what sort of conditions to expect.
BILLFISHING: We
did have one group of 4 guys fish for 3 days with us and and they averaged one
marlin per day the guys had to work hard for those 3 marlin. Two of the fish
were landed at the Saint Jamie Banks and the other marlin was in the Sea of
Cortez at the 1150 area. This past week wasn’t all that great for Marlin it did
drop off quite a bit over last week. Some days it was too rough to make
it up to Golden Gate where reports of fish were. Other fleets did report some
productive days catching marlin on the pacific side up around Golden Gate when
wind wasn’t blowing so hard. I also did hear of a Mako shark being caught on
the pacific side. The Mako was 200 and then there was a Hammerhead also caught.
BAIT: Bait is the standard
3.00 dollares a piece and there has been plenty around. DORADO: The Dorado fishing has slowed also over the last week. We
did catch some on the Bob Marlin but not like previous week. Really the Dorado
fishing is going to slow till June when it will pick back up again. We will
catch some but not the amounts we do catch certain times of year.
INSHORE: The Inshore fishing has been really good and its going to
continue through out the next few months as we are seeing lots of Sierras
coming into the picture. The fishing has been good from the Light House to
Rancho Magrino where the Sierra and even Red Snapper fishing has been good. The
Yellowtail are starting to appear into the picture with some boats landing 5 or
6 being in front of the Arch until the fish cops showed up and told everyone
they had to move to another area. It is now a restricted area in front of the
Arch for fishing. There also has been reports of Yellowtail off the Pedregal
rocks and up at Margarita offshore 3 or 4 miles on the rock piles. The anglers
were jigging iron and using Rapalas and even down rigging live bait.
TUNA: All week there has been Tuna caught with
some days good and some days not to hot. Most of the Tuna have been caught on
cedar plugs and spreader bars with some being caught on live bait. Saint Jamie
banks is where there has been action on the Tuna. We did have one day on the
Bob Marlin where we caught 10 Tuna. Seems like the Tuna were the fish of the
week with some good catches just not every day but overall for the week it was
good. Most of the fish were 20 to 35 pounds with a few going to 50 pounds.
WAHOO: I haven’t heard of any Wahoo this past week.
BEWARE: Remember if
your not renting charter boats from companies who have been established in Cabo
for the past 20 years ( Jcsportfishing, Pisces Sportfishing, 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.
