THE CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT - THE GAVIOTA SPORTFISHING FLEET AND FISH CABO FLEET
Historically, anglers tend to expect difficult fishing during the month of March from Cabo San Lucas, and there's just no reason to change that trend. Finally, we have reached a time frame that I can honestly say to anglers, March is normally the toughest month of the year. It's a…

Very little offshore action this week. Even the tin boat fleet remained on the beach except for the few with raincoats.

Let's back up a few months. When I received an email from my friend Capt.

Food fish continue to dominate the catches around the Baja Peninsula this week. With the El Nino conditions still prevalent and the full moon over the weekend, the billfish bite was spotty. However, the Yellowfin Tuna, Dorado, Sierra and Yellowfin continued to provide lots of action for our charter clients. On the 26th. our good friend Andy Hulcyand his friends had…

This was one of those 'nice weather' weeks that are often bookended by north winds on both sides. The forecast indicates that it will hold through late next week, so the fishermen are smiling! They found a few dorado offshore and wonder of wonders a few billfish as well. Inshore they have been whacking the sierra.

We fished yesterday with Kristin and her friends on the Maximo, while the fishing has definitely taken a beating thanks to the seiner activity in the last week we did manage a fairly decent day with two dorado, a sailfish, and some good action on tunas in the afternoon on the skip-kite up to 90 pounds. But it wasn't easy out there, and most of the boats suffered a skunking.…
