Cabo Sportfishing report for the week of 27 June-3 July 2011

[Team Picante]

Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Cabo Sportfishing report for the week of 27 June-3 July 2011 from Picantesportfishing

The water in Cabo is finally warming up. We have been dealing with cold water from the Pacific being blown down and then around the peninsula and up as far as San Jose. Not the pattern we usually have. But now the fishing will heat up. About midweek the weather started warming up with the remnants of Tropical Storm Arlene coming from Eastern Mexico and across the mainland as she dumped lots of moisture and hit the west coast of mainland Mexico. We are now getting what's left of her moisture and heat. The humidity is up and with the clouds and calm mornings the ocean heated up quickly.





With the warmer water the Blue Marlin, Black Marlin and Sailfish are moving in. There have been some Blues and Blacks being hooked and some landed. We, at Picante, have been catching mainly Striped Marlin and Sailfish. Some of the Striped Marlin have been pretty small, just around 100 pounds. Wonder is that has to be with the water getting warm and the younger fish being in more abundance. And the Yellowfin Tuna are again showing up.



Along with all the Yellowfin Tuna are some nice Dorado catches. We had one of over 55 pounds landed and it is going to get better. Now is prime time for the fishing to heat up.



There have been some really nice Roosterfish being caught. One Roosterfish was estimated around 60 pounds. And another caught was estimated to be over 70 pounds. I know that estimates can be a little off, but even if they were, those were still some huge Roosterfish. Be sure to check back next week when the fishing should really heat up.
