High boat for the week was the "Gaviota IX", having fished 5 days and checking in with 5 stripers released, 1 sailfish released, 2 wahoo, 6 yellowfin tuna and 18 dorado for their efforts. The overall fishing for the week was very good for all of the boats, with most of the boats having several opportunities at billfish and another very good week of wahoo numbers. The Pacific side of Cabo remains the place to be and ranges from the Golden Gate Bank all the way back to Cabo Falso and outside to Herradura. The overall fish counts for a combined total of 29 days fished reflected 22 stripers released, 2 sailfish released, 45 yellowfin tuna, 17 wahoo, (in the 25-45 lb. ranges) 4 roosterfish and 91 dorado.

Cabo Climate: Mostly sunny & warm days with occasional passing clouds and temps from a cool 54 nights to 83 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Sea temps holding well from the Golden Gate to Chileno Bay and out to the thousand fathom curve at 78-80 degrees, then rising to 82-83 from Chileno Bay to Boca Del Tule.

Best Fsihing Area: The Pacific side remains the place to be for the diverse action and good billfish opportunities and rounded-out mixed-bag catches of wahoo, dorado and yellowfin tuna with most of the action taking place within 3-5 miles off the beach.

Best Lure/Bait: Live bait has been the way to go for the wahoo and dorado and even for the billfish but the lures have also been producing good numbers of the catches, too. It's probably running about 50-50 right now.

Live Bait Supply: The live bait supply is excellent but the baits are on the smaller side.
