The warmer water currents flowing southerly from the Sea of Cortez are pushing the cold Pacific waters back around the corner and the sea temps have rebounded considerably from the mega-temperature drops of last week. Better yet, the fish have moved back on location and barring any unforeseen events from Mother Nature, the bite should stabilize for the anglers. High boat for the week was the "Fish Cabo", skippered by Captain Gil Marquez, with 5 stripers released and 8 yellowfin tuna for 3 days fishing. Overall combined fish counts for a total of 20 fished days reflected 13 stripers released, 1 dorado, 1 Sierra and 69 yellowfin tuna, (15-45 lbs.)

Cabo Climate:
Mostly sunny & warrm days with an occasional cloud passing over and temps from 72 nights to 94 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions:
Sea temps much improved and stabilized at this time, ranging from 77 at Cabo San Lucas and gradually climbing to 80 at the Gorda Banks and outside to the 1150 fathom spot.

Best Fishing Area:
The billfish are still scattered about and being caught randomly throughout the area. The tuna have mostly come from the 95 Fathom Spot to the 1150 Fathom spot and beyond into the Sea of Cortez.

Best Lure/Bait:
Lures worked best on the tuna & included tuna feathers, cedar plugs and assorted deep water artificials and live bait remained best for the billfish and were most effective on the drop back to fish chasing the lures.

Live Bait Supply:
Remained good through the week with caballitos being available from the vendors at the $3.00 per bait rate.
