June 9th to June 15th, 2012
Overall Catch Success Rate for
All Species Combined 60%
BILLFISH: Wow, for months we have been listening and watching in the news about
the G20 Summit and it’s finally here. We are very excited to have Los Cabos as
the host of such an important event. Anyway, back to the fishing, this week the
water temperature dropped down a bit and the catch rate slowed down, a few
captains think it had something to do that there are some major battleships
cruising around the Sea of Cortes and may have caused the fish to move, so we
are still on the lookout. As we mentioned before on our Blog and Facebook page,
due to the G20 Summit, there is a restricted area from Punta Ballena to Punta
Gorda and 5 miles from shore, so fishing goes on, they can discuss world
economy while we reel our 150lbs striped marlins. There a few nice catches, “Tracy
Ann” releasing 2 striped marlin on June 12th for Eric Dusin &
Greg Boiselle from Yakima WA, and again the “Tracy Ann” releasing 3 stripeys
for Michael, Taylor and Kevin Morgan from Pace FL on June 14th. This
week 60% of our anglers caught striped marlin, a total of 20 marlin were
caught, all of them released.
OTHER SPECIES: Still not a lot of action on the small game, however we saw a few
hammerhead sharks, average of 45lbs, Spanish mackerel is back and although the
season is not quite in yet, 21% of the boats caught Dorado, most of them with
pink lures, all between 10 to 20lbs. Only one yellow fin tuna this week.
LOCATION: Herradura, 11:50 spot, Sea of Cortes.
WEATHER CONDITIONS: Clear sunny sky, wind has been on the calm side, 4 to 6 knots picking up
a little bit un the afternoons.
AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 69 to 73 F
BEST BAIT OR LURE: Pink lures, small yellow tail, caballito.
