Los Cabos Fishing Report – December 19, 2015

December 19, 2015 by Leave a Comment

December 19, 2015 118_BillG_Wahoo (1024x617)

Holiday crowds have started to arrive in greater numbers this past week and it appears that it will be busy during this year’s festive times. Weather has been a been a bit crazy, relentless winds from the north much of the week, before laying down for the weekend and actually feeling once again almost like late summer, instead of winter. Whales are also being sighted more frequently now, as this is just the start of the annual migration for these mammals.

Ocean swells have been minimal, water temperatures have ranged from 76 degrees in the direction of Los Frailes and 79 degrees off of Cabo San Lucas. Anglers have been relying on caballito or squid slabs for baits, still no reports of anyone finding any schooling sardinas, hard to say what will happen with this, we do believe that when water does eventually cool off, that we will see these preferred baitfish return within our range.

The week started off with the most consistent action being found off the areas of the Cabo San Lucas Arches to Sol Mar, within one mile or less of shore, this is where there was a good bite going on for yellowfin tuna while drift fishing with strips of squid. These ranged from 8 to 15 lb., some of these fish also hit on caballito. The bite was sporadic, but many charters did account for their limits, there was a good chance at losing a percentage of your hook ups to hungry sea lions that were patrolling this same area. Lots of pressure on these grounds, since this was around the only productive spot through most of the week, as north winds made it almost impossible to fish on the grounds to the north. But over the weekend as conditions changed from nearly gale conditions to flat calm, this had charters heading north again and they did have encouraging reports, especially considering all the wind, water clarity was surprisingly good. Yellowfin tuna starting biting again on the Iman Bank, nicer sized fish to 30 lb.

Not much going on for dorado and wahoo, only an occasional fish being landed, other strikes lost, but just no significant numbers of either of these species. Nothing much going on around the Gordo Banks, but maybe the calmer conditions will get this area back on track, as lots of skipjack and other baitfish activity was reported. Also at least one 200 lb. class black marlin was landed, another black, estimated to weigh close to 500 lb. was hooked on a trolled caballito, only to be lost near the boat as the fish got its head down, gaining momentum and heading deep and breaking the lighter 130 lb. leader which had been intended for a cow yellowfin tuna, not a late season el Nino black marlin.

Inshore there was some good action for smaller sized roosterfish off of the San Jose del Cabo Hotel area, particularly near Holiday Inn and the Estuary. Very little bottom fishing was going on now, more triggerfish than anything else, we expect to start seeing more variety start to move in off of the structure. Marlin action was scattered as well, a few striped marlin and then the chance at a larger marlin around the Gordo Banks, no big numbers though of any of these billfish. Will be interesting to see if there is a good run or mackerel and in turn striped marlin his season, this is the month when this normally occurs, starting on the Pacific Banks, before shifting in the direction of the Sea of Cortez.

The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out approximately 74 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count of: 1 black marlin, 8 striped marlin, 285 yellowfin tuna, 16 dorado, 5 wahoo, 4 cabrilla, 22 pargo, 8 bonito, 35 roosterfish and 18 triggerfish.

Good fishing, Eric

Bisbee’s East Cape Offshore 2016

December 17, 2015 by Leave a Comment

If you’re among the tens of thousands of people scrambling to track down last minute Christmas TranquiloLowRespresents for your loved ones, this is the perfect time to begin thinking outside the box. Instead of purchasing another item that will simply sit on a shelf or be forgotten about in a month, consider giving the gift of an experience instead. The Los Cabos region is already gearing-up for all kinds of great events next year, including the Bisbee’s East Cape Offshore fishing tournament.

If you have close friends or family members who are fishing enthusiasts, paying their entry fee for the East Cape Offshore is the perfect gift option. The event doesn’t take place until August 2-6, so there’s plenty of time for you to plan an unforgettable vacation. You simply can’t beat giving something as amazing as a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the people you love most. Everything you need to know about the tournament can be found at www.bisbees.com .

The occasion commences with registration on the afternoon of August 2. That evening marks the kick-off cocktail party, which should be attended by all of your team members. The next three days are scheduled fishing days. Your team will need to be ready-and-raring to go at 7:00 AM PST on August 3, 4, and 5. The 2016 Bisbee’s East Cape Offshore concludes on the evening of August 6 with an awards ceremony at the stunning Hotel Buena Vista.

If you need any assistance with your travel arrangements or if you are interested in staying at a holiday home instead of using the tournament’s standard hotel accommodations, the staff at Los Cabos Villas would be happy to help you. Simply call or email us to discuss your needs. Since August is still quite a few months away, we should have no trouble securing the ideal Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo house for you and your party.

If you’ve ever dreamed of buying a vacation home, or even a primary residence, in the Los Cabos region, you are not alone. This is something that appeals to tens of thousands of people all over the world. If you don’t want to live the rest of your life wondering what could have been if only you had purchased property in Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo, now is the time to buy. You might, however, be confused about the different types of residences that are currently on the market in and around Los Cabos. That’s where this guide comes in.

As you read the following paragraphs, you’ll find out about a variety of different kinds of houses that you can choose from in both San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas.

Whether you intend to spend just a week or two a year or the rest of your lives in your new Los Cabos abode, it is important for it to meet all of the needs you and your loved ones have.

Estates Are Great For Large Families

You might think that you and yours could never afford a true estate in Los Cabos, but you might be surprised to learn that this isn’t actually the case. Estates with large amounts of land and sprawling houses are certainly not cheap, but if you and your extended family all contribute to your budget, you can probably buy more than you’re expecting to. It is becoming increasingly common for families to invest in large houses so that they can all spend time together in the Los Cabos region. The memories that you and your loved ones will make for generations will be worth any amount of money.

Apartments in the Center of Town

Both San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas have bustling cultural districts that are filled with nightlife spots, excellent restaurants, and fun shops. If you want your time in Los Cabos to be spent with the locals, these are the neighborhoods you should be looking for apartments in. The Los Cabos Villas staff might even be able to help you track down a residence above one of your favorite hangouts.

Traditional Condominiums Will Always Be Popular

While there is certainly something to be said for living where the locals do, some prospective Los Cabos homeowners are looking to be with other tourists. This is why condominium complexes exist. The Los Cabos Real Estate team can work with you and your family to find the perfect condo for your needs. These homes range from small studios all the way to three and four bedroom units, so no matter how much space you need, we’re sure to be able to help you find something suitable. Condos in Los Cabos tend to have a variety of amenities, including world-class swimming pools, coffee shops, and even on-site spas.

Los Cabos Fishing Report – December 6-2015

December 6, 2015 by Leave a Comment

December 6, 2015 120_LarryWahoo

This week like clockwork the numbers of visitors were far fewer than in previous weeks, this is normal for immediately after Thanksgiving and prior to the Christmas Holiday season. Last week we were all caught off guard by the latest forming major Hurricane ever recorded in the Eastern Pacific, Hurricane Sandra reached category four strength and initially was forecast to pass very close to Cabo San Lucas on Saturday, the system followed a unpredictable course, it then collided with a powerful wind shear from the north, which stirred the storm further south and caused rapid weakening. Southern Baja was spared of any devastation, there was a fair amount of rainfall recorded in the Los Cabos, possibly up to three inches in certain areas. Winds never reached much more than 30 mph gusts, but storm swells did kick up to about four meters and both local ports were closed all day on Friday and Saturday, rainy day schedule, finally opening Sunday morning. Since the passing of this storm front there have been persistent northerly winds, ranging 15 to 25 mph and this created choppy conditions on the open grounds north of Punta Gorda. The winds did slack later in the week, helping to settle seas, air temperature are still reaching into the 80’s and lows dipped to 60 degrees. Ocean water temperature was now ranging 79/80 degrees throughout most of the region. North winds pushed in slightly greener current close to shore.

The week started off with the wahoo being aggressive and very active early in the day on the Iman Bank. Best action was on slow trolled baits, either caballito or chihuil, not much reported on trolled artificial lures. Some charters landed up to five wahoo, with that many other strikes lost, weights for the ‘hoo averaged 25 to 40 lb. Not as many numbers of dorado were found from these same grounds, though the other fleets fishing on the Pacific did find more numbers of dorado, but not many wahoo or other species, besides billfish.

Yellowfin tuna action became hampered by persistent winds, harder to find porpoise activity, and not favorable for drift and chum style fishing. Other days anglers could see tuna breezing on the surface, but these fish were just not interested in striking any offerings. A handful of yellowfin tuna have been landed, some smaller grade football, but other quality tuna in the 40 to 120 lb. class were accounted for. The day before the recent storm struck there was a report from commercial pangeros based out of Los Frailes, who landed one yellowfin tuna that weighed 378 lb. while fishing on the San Luis Bank with squid. If weather does cooperate we do expect to have more quality yellowfin tuna action opening up.

The bottom action showing a little more promise in recent days, but again you need calmer conditions to really have better opportunities.  A few species of pargo, bonito, amberjack, triggerfish and cabrilla, no big quantities, but better than what we have seen off of the bottom for the past month, we expect to see improved bottom action, though this will depend on how persistent north winds prove to be. Normal fall/winter wind patterns have been harder to predict this year, winds usually blow for several days, then we have a few nice days and cycle repeats itself, not like these seven to eight day blows we have had this fall.

Bait supplies remained plentiful for live caballito, not much else was available, no ballyhoo or sardinas to speak of. With changing ocean conditions we hope to see sardinas move back within our range.

Surely we will see the annual migration of whales start to arrive soon, warner than normal water might delay this, but these mammals will arrive soon enough. Great time to visit now, ideal climate, crowds of anglers are light and fishing is liable to break wide open on any given day.

The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out approximately 78 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count of: 1 blue marlin, 13 sailfish, 7 striped marlin, 34 yellowfin tuna, 39 dorado, 49 wahoo, 9 sierra, 46 misc. pargo species, 1 amberjack, 12 cabrilla, 13 bonito, 9 rainbow runner, 6 roosterfish and 25 triggerfish

Good fishing, Eric
