January 17, 2021
Another quiet week as far as numbers of tourists arriving. With Covid
worries and political unrest we expect to see similar patterns of light
crowds until at least spring time. January and February are normally the
coolest months of the year throughout the northern hemisphere and recently
we have felt the chill, highs are reaching about 75 degrees and lows in the
mid-50s, though days have been clear and sunny. Winds this past week were
not as persistent from the north, most days picking up late morning. Colder
water conditions have swept into local waters, we have seen ocean
temperatures ranging from 67 to 72 degrees. Changing from day to day, as
currents swirl in and out, also pushing in green unfavorable water. With
the cleaner and warmer areas now found in the direction of Cabo San Lucas.
For the limited numbers of anglers now in town, they have found supplies of
sardinas, ballyhoo, caballito, mackerel and sardineta. Charters have been
going in different directions in search of better opportunities. Action
around the Gordo Banks has slowed way down from how it had been for the
past month, as these grounds had cold green water contribute to shutting
down the bite. Though as currents shift and north winds reside, things can
change, on Friday there was one quality yellowfin tuna of 85 lb. hauled in
off of a super panga. Through the week we only saw a few of the smaller
sized wahoo landed during the first days of the period, also a couple of
other tuna were accounted for or hooked up and lost. Fewer numbers of
dorado as well, as the turned over conditions has these tropical species
scattering.
Offshore the main action has been for striped marlin, also a few dorado
being found on these same grounds. Still no large concentrations of the
marlin, though lots of schooling mackerel and sardineta are being seen off
of the San Jose del Cabo hotel zone, several miles offshore. The marlin
being found now are scattered, depending where the blue water is found,
recently five to 10 miles offshore. We do expect the billfish action to
improve as these off colored conditions rebound. There were some reports of
yellowfin tuna being found further offshore associated with moving
porpoise, though this has been a very hit or miss deal so far.
It is the time of year when more bottom structure fishing starts up, though
so far we have not seen anything other than a handful of bonito, smaller
snapper or cabrilla. We should start seeing improved bottom action and are
hoping that this colder water brings in the yellowtail. Along the shore
there have been fewer numbers of sierra than we would expect for this time
frame, off colored currents seem to be issue with these species as well. So
as weather does stabilize we do expect the all-around action to improve.
This is a normal transition period we are now going through. This time of
year is never really peak season for any of the more popular glamorous
gamefish, though as ocean changes so can the bite, from week to week. Lot
of whales now on the same fishing grounds, as well as some sea lions,
turtles and manta rays, all adding to the experience.
Good fishing, Eric
