Bisbee’s East Cape Offshore 2016

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.

Los Cabos Fishing Report – November 22, 2015

November 22, 2015 122_Bob_69Tuna

With all of the major local gamefish tournaments now over we will see the crowds of visiting anglers lighten up, as people are now preparing for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays which are rapidly approaching. The weather this week was dominated by the persistent northeast winds, which picked up at the start of the week and never really laid down all week. This created choppy seas and limited options for fleets launching out of San Jose del Cabo, though twenty miles to the south, out of Cabo San Lucas, the seas were much calmer, in areas which were more protected from north winds, though action was still sporadic.

Tropical Storm Rick developed more than several hundred miles off to the west of the Baja Peninsula and is forecast to stay far offshore and not cause any impact on land. Overall we are feeling a cooling trend, though daytime temperatures were reaching 85 degrees. Ocean temperatures dropped a couple of degrees as well, most areas are now averaging 82 degrees, some spots of 83/84 degrees, this trend should continue, maybe the cooling currents will help normalize pre-El Nino currents for bait and gamefish migrations.

Action proved to be more spread out and less productive this past week, there were some quality fish accounted for, though numbers were down, no particular place was hot, wind was  a major factor on the grounds from the Gordo Banks and to the north. Schools of yellowfin tuna up to 100 pounds were seen surfacing while traveling with porpoise, but conditions were not favorable for chasing these rapidly moving schools and not many of these tuna were landed. A handful of fish in the 40 to 80 pounds were accounted for, some striking on strips of squids, other on live chihuil. Still no resource for sardinas, there have been caballito and ballyhoo available as other options. Perhaps cooling currents and less angling pressure will allow the sardinas to move within our range, which would be a great bait to have at this time.

The wahoo were not as active this past week either, though on Monday there was a 69 lb. wahoo landed out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina, this trophy sized ‘hoo hit on a live skipjack, was part of an explosive double hook up, which resulted in one nice wahoo landed and another one lost. Wahoo were spread out throughout the area, though better chances still seem to be north of Punta Gorda. Dorado action slowed was down in recent days, though these fish are still in the area, the majority of charters finding maybe one or two, or at least having a chance or two.

Billfish was spread out, though there did seem to be increased numbers of striped marlin in local waters now, also some sailfish and at least one blue was landed for the panga fleet out of Puerto Los Cabos. When the wind does reside there should be better opportunities found.

More sierra are moving in with the cooling waters, these smaller sized gamefish will provide bonus inshore action, especially when we start seeing schools of sardinas move back into the region. It will not be long until the annual migration of whales arrive for their winter visit to their most southern calving and feeding grounds.

The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out approximately 138 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count of: 1 blue marlin,

​ ​14 striped marlin, 12 sailfish, 66 yellowfin tuna, 13 wahoo, 96 dorado, 12 sierra, 14 rainbow runner, 76 misc. pargo species, 12 cabrilla, 14 bonito and 50 triggerfish

Los Cabos Fishing Report – November 1, 2015

November 1, 2015 125_Mahoney

It seems that our fall weather patterns have finally stabilized, no new late season tropical storms have developed since last week’s incredibly power Hurricane Patricia, which made land fall near Puerto Vallarta, surprisingly the damage was not too extensive. Ocean water temperatures have dropped a couple of degrees in recent days, now into the 84/85 degree range, this cooling trend should continue as days are becoming progressively shorter. Swells have been moderate, tides fairly extreme with passing of the full moon, winds increased from the south and north winds are starting to play havoc for the East Cape region. Daytime highs were still into the low 90s, but now it appears we will have more comfortable conditions in the mid 80s, with low of 65 degrees, time for long sleeve t-shirts, sweatshirts and wind breakers.

Sportfishing fleets continue to be busy, with the Bisbee Tournament now past, everyone is gearing up for the WON Tuna Jackpot scheduled for next week. In recent weeks all of the larger yellowfin tuna encountered were coming from the Pacific Banks, San Jaime or Golden Gate, just in recent days with the change in currents, there have been tuna to over 200 pounds found on the grounds off of San Jose del Cabo and to the north of the Gordo Banks. These larger grade of tuna were traveling with fast moving porpoise and were striking on strips of squid. Still no big numbers, but definitely a chance at hooking into a tournament winner, one panga charter lost an estimated 250 lb. tuna after a long battle, right as they were trying to gaff the fish, talk about a heartbreak.

The action close to shore off of Punta Gorda that has been going on for the past few weeks, continues, this is where tuna up to 40 lb. were sporadically biting, best action usually early, then becoming spottier throughout the day. Triggerfish, pompano and various pargo species rounded out that action off the point, overall this bite is starting to fade out and charters are now scouting out new grounds. Iman Bank is showing more activity for wahoo, as well as chances at tuna or dorado, again no big numbers, but with changing conditions, anything could happen on any given day. Wahoo were ranging from 15 lb. to over 50 lb., striking on Rapalas, skirted lead heads, as well as on chihuil or other rigged baits, including flying fish, if you were able to obtain them, as some skippers were able to a couple of weeks back when they ran into schools of these flyers in a spawning mode and were able to scoop them up with their bait nets by the dozens, of course this was a one day event.

Billfish has been mainly a mix of sailfish or striped marlin for San Jose fleets, with higher chances for blue marlin off of the Cabo San Lucas and Pacific grounds. Sailfish were found close to shore where the tuna action was. With ocean temperatures still warm, there could be blue or black marlin hooked late into the year, even early 2016.

The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out approximately 148 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count of: 21 sailfish, 370 yellowfin tuna, 12 rainbow runners, 2 amberjack, 18 dorado, 49 wahoo, 18 pompano, 16 yellow snapper, 145 triggerfish, 6 sierra, 19 barred pargo, 70 black skipjack, 14 surgeonfish, 16 roosterfish and 12 bonito.

Good fishing, Eric

If, however, you plan and budget appropriately, you can purchase an incredible Los Cabos holiday home for less money than you might imagine. As you read the rest of this guide, you’ll see some tips that will help you select the ideal property for you and your loved ones to enjoy for many years to come.

As you start your search for the right Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo vacation property, it is important to keep in mind that your situation is not the same as any other prospective home buyer’s. Therefore, you might find that some of the suggestions that are detailed here are not appropriate for your personal circumstances. This is perfectly normal. Generic guides, such as this one, are intended to help the majority of readers, but every tip may not be right for every person.

Consider How Much Money You Have to Spend

The overwhelming majority of people who are looking for second homes or vacation properties in the Los Cabos region have limited budgets. That is, they cannot simply buy whichever villa, condominium, or apartment they desire. If you don’t have unlimited funds, you need to determine what your budget is before you start considering various realtors. This is because some Cabo real estate specialists only deal with certain types of properties, like high value villas.

Think About How Often You Plan to Use Your House

Before you start looking at vacation homes that are currently on the market in the Los Cabos region, you should spend some time considering how frequently you intend to use your second house. This could impact what type of residence you ultimately end up purchasing. If, for instance, you plan to rent it out for several months of the year, you may want to look at an abode that has more bedrooms that you would personally use so it will appeal to more potential renters. Los Cabos Vacation Rentals, Inc. can also help you produce income from your investment when you are not using it.

Don’t Submit in an Offer Before You’ve Seen The Property In-Person

Because San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas are not close to many prospective homebuyers’ primary residences, it can be tempting to put an offer in on a vacation house without actually visiting it first. After all, online galleries and video tours can provide a lot of information. This is not, however, a great plan. Before you make a major purchase like this, you ought to make a point of seeing the house you’re thinking about in-person. Contact the experts at Los Cabos Real Estate if you need any information on Los Cabos Properties For Sale and you can also contact Los Cabos Vacation Rentals for any assistance with your travel plans.

Los Cabos Fishing Report – October 4, 2015

October 4, 2015 129_JasenSmith

With the summer season now officially over we have started the busy Fall Season. Weather remained calm in the Eastern Pacific through  most of the week, no rain until Saturday, when the remnants of Hurricane Marty swept by and left scattered thundershowers and wind gusts to 30 mile per hours in certain isolated areas, by later in the day conditions settled down and that seemed to be the end of this system. Heat index still over 100 degrees, with very high humidity. The climate should become more comfortable in the coming weeks. We were closely watching the development of Hurricane Marty far to the south early in the week, this system quickly dissipated mid-week, after slowly progressing through apparently unfavorable environment for further strengthening and for progressing northward. A great thing for us, we hope these storms continue to go elsewhere, we expect in several more weeks the chances of any further tropical storm activity will be slim, though with these strong El Niño conditions you never really know what might happen.

Ocean water temperatures are now in the 85 to 88 degree range, clean blue water is found within several miles of shore, strong currents have slackened some. Full moon phase recently passed and contributed to a few tougher days for anglers, coinciding with early morning low tides and higher surf conditions, this made the sardinas much harder to find and net for the commercial fleet. Another option for bait was slabs of giant squid, not easy to obtain though, local super markets carry them and some bait vendors are starting to also offer packages of squid in the same marina launch area.

The yellowfin tuna were the main species now being cooperative and for this reason targeted, only an occasional dorado or two and wahoo have not been active this past week either. Working the bottom structure anglers found a scattering of miscellaneous species, main catches were small to medium grade pargo and snapper species, a few decent cabrilla and amberjack also in the mix. Local fleets have been fishing in different directions, most consistent action was found from close to off of Santa Maria, to the Gordo Banks and north to Vinorama. In recent days the bite near Cabo San Lucas for the smaller 5 to 15 lb. yellowfin tuna, has faded compared to previous weeks, lots of pressure and limited supplies of baitfish, as well as there now being a problem with aggressive sea lion activity, these pesky predators have just returned recently and are waiting on the same fishing grounds for their chance at any possible easy meal.

Action near Vinorama improved for tuna in the 10 to 20 lb. class, with an occasional fish to 50 or 60 lb. mixed in, chance at a wahoo or dorado from this same area as well, though not many were actually landed, these fish are on the grounds, being seen free swimming and feeding on chum. These yellowfin were striking mainly while drift fishing with squid or sardinas. Proving to be finicky earlier in the week, making a big showing on the surface but not wanting to strike. The bite on the Gordo Banks improved through the week, with a quality grade of 50 to 90 lb. fish being accounted for in decent numbers, strong group of fish, with most anglers now using gear ranging from 40 to 80 lb. The key on the Gordo Banks has been having the squid, the more the better, lots of chumming involved.

Marlin action seemed to slow down this past week, one smaller blue marlin was caught from La Playita, and a handful of sailfish. Some of the yellowfin action late in the week was found under pods of traveling porpoise on the outside of Gordo Banks, drift fish squid underneath the porpoise, fast moving deal, who knows where this action will be the next day.

Overall with the weather remaining calm, this is allowing the ocean conditions to become more favorable and we are anticipating a great fall bite, continuing through and into winter.

The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out approximately 119 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count of: 1 striped marlin, 8 sailfish, 1 blue marlin, 356 yellowfin tuna, 28 dorado, 3 wahoo, 35 white skipjack, 18 bonito, 10 rainbow runner, 4 dogtooth snapper, 26 yellow snapper, 6 amberjack, 38 triggerfish, 14 cabrilla and 13 barred pargo.

Bisbees Black and Blue Marlin Tournament October 20-24 2015

There are few places in the world with better fishing than Los Cabos.
Because of this, the region is home safe_image.phpto a number of fantastic fishing tournaments each and every year. Many would argue that the crown jewel among these is the Bisbee’s Black & Blue tournament, which is set to take place on October 20-24, 2015. While all fishing tournaments involve a similar process (complete an entry form, pay your fees, and show-up to fish), there are key differences between various events.

The Bisbee’s Black & Blue tournament, for example, has a base entry fee of $5,000. You and your team will need to come-up with this money before you can officially register to compete. Once you’ve paid, you’ll be eligible to actually take part in the event, win prizes, and attend parties, dinners, and other special occasions that are intended specifically for participants.

It is important for prospective entrants to note that there are entry levels beyond the $5,000 base fee. If, for example, you are a truly serious angler, you might be interested in the $20,000 Chupacabra Challenge, which is new for 2015. You can learn more about all of the entry levels available to your team by visiting www.bisbees.com/ .

If you’ve never competed in a fishing tournament before, the Bisbee’s Black & Blue probably isn’t the best place to start. If, however, you are interested in getting a team together for these types of events, attending as a spectator this year is an excellent idea. There is still plenty of time to book a room or a Cabo vacation home prior to the end of October.

If you would like assistance with your reservation, the staff at Los Cabos Villas would be thrilled to assist you. We are passionate about helping both fishing tournament teams and attendees alike when they are struggling to locate the ideal Los Cabos condominiums and houses for their stays in our beautiful region.

How Much of the Year Am I Going to Spend on the Condo, Home or Villa?

How Much Money Do I Have to Invest?

Your Los Cabos Real Estate representative won’t truly be able to provide you with assistance until you know how much money you have to spend on your Cabo Vacation Home. While deals can be found in nearly any price range, you need to know what your maximum budget is before you start taking tours of any properties. This way, you and your agent won’t waste your time looking at holiday houses you simply cannot afford to purchase.

What Amenities Am I Unwilling to Compromise On?

Every prospective homebuyer has certain things that he or she simply won’t give-up. Before you start working with a Los Cabos Real Estate agent, you need to know what your personal must-haves are. You might even want to jot these down so you aren’t tempted to buy a home that doesn’t feature one of them. Popular must haves in Cabo are pools, wet bars, golf course and ocean views and Beach Club access.
