Unfortunately, I think the yellowfin tuna bite that was so strong a week ago went away in the belly of the purse seiner tuna boats as the catches reflected for this week were very diminished for tuna counts. The waters on both sides of the peninsula were readily fishable throughout the week and had good clarity and good temperatures, too, perfect for the billfish, tuna and dorado. There was a serious lack of fisherman this past week and our reports reflect a combined total of 8 boats were out to the offshore waters for the week. The overall fish counts for 8 days fished reflected the "Tuna Time" was again high boat for billfish for the week with 1 striper and 1 sailfish released for two fishing days with both billfish caught on the same day. The totals for the week for all boats combined were 3 stripers released, 1 sailfish released, 8 yellowfin tuna and 22 dorado.

Cabo Climate:
Passing clouds and partially cloudy days with periods of bright sunshine and temps from 73 nights to 95 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions:
Overall, a very good week once the swells and residual effects of Dora passing by in the offshore waters fizzled and evaporated from the reports. Sea temps on the Pacific side were holding at 79-82 degrees and rising gradually to Cabo at 86 degrees. Moving up the line on the Sea of Cortez side, the temps increased and stabilized at 88 degrees from the Palmilla Ridge to Los Frailes and beyond.

Best Fishing Area:
The better fishing continued to be in the area to the south and southeast of Cabo San Lucas, in the area called "Herradura", about 14 miles or so offshore.

Best Lure/Bait:
Live bait was best for the billfish. Dorado were taken sporadically on an assortment of artificials and colors and tuna on the feathers and cedar plugs.

Live Bait Supply:
Good live bait supply and mostly caballitos with a mackerel here and there in the mix.
