Apr 16, 2006; 08:39PM - Flashing stick baits for pike.

Tip&Trick Description 1:
When fishing for aggressive or active pike try using shallow running stick bait and retrieve the lure until it is about 10-15 feet away from the boat/pier. Then give it a jerk. The lure will create a bright flash that triggers the pike to bite. This technique works best in clear to mildly clear or stained water. You can try this for bass too. |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
May 19, 2019
We are seeing limited crowds of
tourists now, but we have noticed an
increased number of actual anglers, so
hopefully this trend will continue.
Weather patterns remain ideal, lows of
about 65 degrees, with highs
reaching into the near 90 some days.
Mostly clear sunny skies, not many
clouds besides some early in the day
that quickly burn off. Moderate winds
later in the week, early on had been
very calm. Warmer current moving in
from the north, up to 78 degrees on the
Gordo Banks, still much cooler on
the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas.
Bait netters had to work extra hard to
obtain what they could, a mix of
moonfish, caballito and a few species
of sardinas were found. On the
fishing grounds, namely Gordo Banks,
anglers were able to jig up some other
chihuil baitfish, but this proved
scarcer by the day as water warmed up
quickly. Using mullet now is
prohibited, believe this season will
open up
in coming weeks.
Main fishing grounds being concentrated
on now, have been from Palmilla,
Red Hill, Gordo Banks, San Luis and as
far north as Vinorama. The Gordo
Banks had been the location where
yellowtail were being found, averaging
25
to 35 lb., striking on larger live
baits near the bottom, though as the
week progressed this bite came to a
standstill, large numbers of various
shark species were also moving in on
these same grounds, that seems to
spook the gamefish. Sea lions were a
pesky problem as well, especially on
the grounds to the north, good action
for red snapper and bonito was
wrecked by these aggressive mammals.
Other bottom action included cabrilla,
leopard grouper, pargo and amberjack,
on Thursday there was a very
impressive 96 lb. amberjack landed from
a panga. More numbers bonito than
anything else, most of these were
striking on yo-yo style jigs, weighing
5
to 10 lb..
In recent days the striped marlin
became much more active, on these same
grounds and a bit further offshore
there were stripers being found, most
of
these were striking various baits and
average weights were 70 to 100 lb.,
though one monster striper of about 180
lb. was landed on Friday, many
people were thinking it was a blue
marlin because of its size, years past
we used to see more of the larger
striped marlin. One wahoo of about 25
lb.
was also landed Friday, no dorado or
yellowfin tuna to speak of. To the
north off of Cabo Pulmo they have been
finding tuna, so we expect these
fish will also move south into our
range before too long. Off of the San
Jose del Cabo hotel zone anglers were
finding better action for roosterfish
in the 15 to 25 lb. range, we look for
this action to peak in the six weeks
or so, please remember that these
gamefish should always be released. Not
as many sierra being seen now, no large
schools of sardinas to attract them
and as the water temperatures increase
these fish usually migrate out of
this region.
The combined sportfishing fleet out of
the panga area from Puerto Los Cabos
Marina reported an estimated 66
charters for the week and anglers
reported
an approximate fish count of: 13
striped marlin, 13 yellowtail, 1
yellowfin
tuna, 1 wahoo, 18 leopard grouper, 360
bonito, 74 red snapper, 10 yellow
snapper, 5 African pompano, 6 barred
pargo, 29 amberjack, 11 sierra, 6
glasseye pargo, 32 roosterfish and 75
triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
