Cabo fishing report September 7th 2017
We finally got to go fishing a few days after helping our community as much as we could to get back on track after the impact of the Cyclone Lidia.
The Anglers that were originally scheduled to fish with us these past few days were not able to fly into town due to bad weather, so we got on board Tailcheaser 45ft Cabo flybridge for 3 days to check if the fishing grounds were still producing as much as they were before the big storm strike our town.
On the first day we went in search of the blue water on the sea of Corte. Since the water in shore has been dark green and cloudy, we started by going out to the horse shoe bank. Once we got there, the water changed to a nice blue color, and so we started trolling some lures along with teasers to rise some marlins.
After a few hours we caught and released a sail fish, right after that we made the decision to look for dolphins to catch yellowfin tunas. We stated trolling a bit faster with cedar plugs looking out into the ocean with binoculars in search of birds or dolphins. Thats how we spent about 5 hours without any luck. Since it started getting dark we decided to change our course heading towards Cabo, but still trolling and searching for the dolphins with out losing fate.
It got to the point where we got all the lines out of the water and started running back home, but on our way back we saw a big school of dolphins feeding so the Captain Julian Liquidano guided the boat to the front of the school while Captain Jobe got a live bait and cast it right in front of the school. Not even a minute after he cast the live bait PUUM! We get a real strong strike and the fight was on.
Chuck Beaker and Valerie Hudson took turns for about 45 minutes to reel in a 229 pound yellowfin tuna with a small Shimano Talika 16 that had a 50 pound test line with an 80 pound test leader.
So in our three fishing day trips, we managed to catch a few small yellowfin tunas, a few good size dorados, we caught and released 2 sailfish, 3 blue marlins, 2 striped marlins and we scored big with the 229 pound yellowfin tuna.
The water inshore has been getting better every day, so we predict that with in a week or so it will be great for dorados and tunas.
