Baja California Sur Sportfishing Conditions
Mexico sportfishing has always been its best in the East Cape region. Here are the latest conditions for the world famous Sea of Cortez. This area is known worldwide as one of the premier vacation and big-game fishing spots in the world. It consistently produces huge numbers of blue, black, and striped marlin, sailfish, dorado, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, roosterfish and more.
--Cabo San Lucas Sportfishing: Maybe La Niña is to blame, but conditions are unsettled for this time of year, with strong winds raging at times on the Pacific side of the Baja peninsula. Marlin are the primary targets and action is fair to good. Lots of bonito. Some dorado.
--San Jose del Cabo: The Gordo Banks Pangas fleet is well-positioned for marlin but is having trouble obtaining the right kind of bait and is settling for mullet, which marlin can take or leave. Some dorado. Lots of small roosterfish and only scattered pargo along the coast. Native fisherman Chame Pino won the La Playita Dorado Tournament with a 45.5-pound bull, caught at San Luis Bank.
--East Cape Fishing: Much more settled. Lots of big dorado. Timothy Boyle of Tustin landed a 48-pounder while fishing at Hotel Buena Vista Beach Resort. Rancho Leonero reports vessels are averaging one-plus billfish per day. Chris Nelson and Ron Johnson from Carlsbad, in two days on a cruiser, caught two striped marlin, six dorado and 10 white bonito!
--La Paz: Intermittent strong winds made for a hit-or-miss week, but large dorado and very large roosterfish were caught, and some marlin and sailfish baited. Seattle's Andy Ewing, on his first-ever fishing trip, caught and released an estimated 50-pound roosterfish aboard a Tailhunter International.
