Unlike the 2009 fishing season from Cabo San Lucas, when the fishing was terribly slow and difficult, the 2010 season is showing terrific signs of being a superb fishing season. Even better, we are already hearing about an abundance of feed biomass out in front of and below Magdalena Bay, lending credibility to the prediction of a much better fishing season for Cabo San Lucas. From late October and early November, the bait masses will move on down to the Finger Bank and Golden Gate, allowing for the annual build-up of the billfish concentrations that are normal for November and December and typically stretch from the Golden Gate Bank to Cabo Falso. Yellowfin tuna, dorado and wahoo will filter into the area in significant numbers, (we are already seeing very good numbers of dorado and many bigger tuna than normal) and the anglers will enjoy the benefits of quality fishing adventures. About 75% of the boats produced billfish this past week that included a smaller blue marlin and a single sailfish. The dorado bite was higher than the week before and limit fishing was easy for most of the boats. The overall combined reports ffor the Gaviota sportfishing fleet and Fish Cabo Fleet reflecting 38 days fished reflected 1 blue marlin, (225 lbs. estimated) 1 sailfish released and 24 stripers, (23 released) along with 8 yellowfin tuna, 6 wahoo and 161 dorado (12-15 lb. average with a few to near 40 lbs.). Higgh boat for the week was again the "Tuna Time", skippered by Roberto Padilla, reflecting 5 stripers released, 17 dorado, 1 wahoo and 5 yellowfin tuna for 4 days fished.

Cabo Climate: Partly cloudy days with good periods of sunshine. Temps from 70 nights to 93 daytime highs and 5-10 knots of surface breezes.

Sea Conditions: Excellent. Blue water in all directions with temps on the Pacific side from 82-85. A north/south temp break from Golden Gate Beach and beyond out to the south, climbing to 86-88 degrees and stretching around to Las Frailes.

Best Fishing Area: All of the Pacific again this week, stretching from Cabo Falso to the Golden Gate and back to the Jaime Bank.

Best Bait/Lure: Good catches on the artificials again this week with a variety of colors doing well. Good bites on the drop-backs with live bait, especially with the dorado.

Bait Supply: Getting better by the week but still some mixed bait supply.
