Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
May 27, 2018
Last week we had noticed an increase in
visiting anglers, though this week was
a different story, as crowds of
tourists were lighter. Perhaps families
are more pre-occupied with school
graduations and final exams, etc. we
should more people arriving in the
coming weeks.
Weather patterns are progressively
warming as we near the summer season,
though the climate is very pleasant
still, lows of about 65 degrees and
highs hovering around 85 degrees.
Winds were a factor from the north
early in the week, while out of Cabo
San Lucas they were dealing with
stiffer winds from a southerly
direction. Later in the week ocean
conditions were much calmer. The water
temperature around the corner on the
Pacific is cooler, in the upper 60’s,
while in the direction of San Jose del
Cabo and to Los Frailes, the ocean
currents were averaging 78 to 80
degrees. Still unpredictable currents
pushing in off colored murky water into
areas north of Punta Gorda where water
temperatures are warm and clarity has
fluctuated.
Large schools of mullet moved in along
the shoreline, particularly in the
Puerto Los Cabos Marina area and along
both sides of the jetties. Sardinas are
being found just north of the jetties,
though they are starting to be a bit
more scattered and limited, as larger
surf conditions are becoming more
prevalent. Other bait options included
caballito, small jacks, chihuil,
sardineta and even some mackerel were
found offshore. Also reports of some
sizable schools of bolito found on
offshore grounds, those are always a
favorable sign that pelagic gamefish
are usually closely following this
preferred food source.
Last week the highlight was the hot
striped marlin bite around the
Desteladera Bank, with bait fish
schools now moving around the billfish
action has become more scattered,
though charters targeting these
offshore grounds have been reporting
multiple chances daily, action came
while trolling lures and dropping back
baits, also soaking baits, stripers
were ranging in sizes from 70 lb. to
130 lb.
The yellowfin tuna bite was mainly
centered at La Fortuna, the Twenty Five
Spot, some days near Iman and San Luis
Banks. Though this week the yellowfin
tuna action in general proved much more
elusive, only a handful of tuna being
accounted for. Most of these fish were
in the 30 to 70 lb. class, but anglers
were fortunate to land one of them.
Mid-week on the Gordo Banks there was
one day when a few tuna up to 70 lb.
were accounted were while trilling live
chihuil, though since no one else found
these fish cooperative. Very few dorado
now being reported, though more of
these fish were seen this past week,
they did not always bite though.
Inshore rock piles seemed to produce
better all-around action for a variety
of great eating species, most of these
under ten pounds, with an occasional
larger specimen. Anglers using sardinas
or chunks of other baits were finding
yellow snapper, leopard grouper, barred
pargo, spotted pink snapper, island
jack, pompano, amberjack, sierra,
triggerfish, surgeonfish and others, a
virtual smorgasbord.
Along the beach stretches we saw more
roosterfish moving in, the majority in
the 10 to 20 lb. class, but few
roosterfish to over 40 lb. were also
hooked into. Still no significant
numbers yet, though with all of the
mullet now appearing, in the next
couple of weeks we should see the
roosterfish action break loose. Also
along the shore there have been sierra
and jack crevalle. This is the time of
year we should start seeing some pargo
colorado and dogtooth snapper show up.
The combined panga fleets launching out
of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina
sent out approximately 62 charters for
this week. Anglers reported a fish
count of: 18 striped marlin, (majority
released), 7 dorado, 1 yellowtail, 13
yellowfin tuna, 92 yellow snapper, 12
surgeon fish, 36 spotted rose snapper,
34 cabrilla (leopard grouper), 14
huachinango (red snapper), 21
amberjack, 15 barred pargo, 21 pompano,
35 roosterfish, 8 jack crevalle, 42
sierra, 22 flag cabrilla, 12 Island
jack and 140 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
