Tip&Trick Description 1:
We have been using a Power Drop Shot technique that you may have heard of, and it works great in Heavy Cover, and around docks and wood in rivers and lakes. We just rig a heavy weight of 3/8 to 3/4 of an ounce, and then tie on the bait, such as a Yamamoto 'IKA' tube about 10 inches up the line on a 3/0 Gamakatsu hook, and flip and pitch it right in the same way as a jig or other bait. It stays there longer and has more action. Deadly on in-active fish.

San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
December 10, 2017
With the big rush of the fall season
now over, we normally expect to see
less tourists arriving and that is the
case now, though actually there were
quite a few anglers still showing up,
apparently to take advantage of the
lighter crowds, warmer than normal
ocean temperatures and all around great
climate. Water temperatures are now
ranging 78 to 80 degrees, it looks like
this coming week the weather patterns
will be cooler, so we will most likely
see ocean temperatures drop. Air
temperatures were reaching up to 85
degrees early in the week, but as north
winds increased through the week, highs
by the weekend were in the mid 70’s.
Bait supplies have remained sufficient,
with sardinas being the bait of choice,
they are now being netted along the
beach stretches from Palmilla to Cabo
Real. Some anglers are also still using
slabs of squid, locating and catching
the chihuil has been another option. We
anticipate that new resources for
mackerel and sardineta should start to
appear as water cools off some. The
most consistent fishing action is now
being encountered from Santa Maria,
Palmilla, Punta Gorda, La Fortuna and
Iman Bank.
Anglers were finding that yellowfin
tuna were the most common gamefish now
being accounted for, the majority of
these fish were striking on sardinas,
some on strips of squid or chihuil.
Most yellowfin landed were in the 10 to
20 lb. range, though a handful of tuna
up in the 30 to 70 lb. class were also
accounted for. Often the tuna could be
seen on the surface feeding freely, but
they were spooky and not eager to bite
on baits with hooks in them, but they
would strike in flurries, sometimes
earlier in the day and then at other
times not until later, a bit
unpredictable, but there are definitely
still a lot of yellowfin tuna on the
local fishing grounds. Average daily
catches would range from 3, 4 or 5
tuna, up to ten or more per charter.
Wahoo action went wide open for a
couple of days early in the week,
especially off of Punta Gorda, within
one mile of shore, the key was having
the chihuil baitfish, which were never
any guarantee, only a few wahoo were
taken on trolled lures, such as Rapalas
or while casting yo-yo jigs. A few
charters landed as many as 4 to 8 wahoo
per morning trip, with sizes ranging up
to over 60 lb. The word spread of the
hot wahoo bite, and that area close to
shore off of the point is a relatively
small area and susceptible to pressure,
the wahoo become finicky in a hurry. We
do expect this wahoo activity to be on
and off throughout this month, until
water temperature become too cool for
their liking.
Dorado continued to be scarcer than
tuna or wahoo, though on some days we
are seeing some of these fish from the
same fishing grounds, with an
occasional fish weighing over ten
pounds. No billfish to speak of out of
San Jose del Cabo and even the good
bite on the Pacific slacked up over the
recent full moon.
Action off the bottom produced better
action than previous period, though
later in the week the wind but this
action on hold. A handful of quality
leopard grouper, yellow snapper,
amberjack and monster sized triggerfish
were accounted for. Also everyday a few
sierra are being brought in. Mixed in
with the yellowfin tuna have been white
and black skipjacks, some days in
higher percentages than the yellowfin.
The combined panga fleets launching out
of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina
sent out approximately 83 charters for
the week, with anglers reporting a fish
count of: 44 wahoo, 22 sierra, 365
yellowfin tuna, 37 dorado, 8 amberjack,
18 yellow snapper, 5 island jack, 12
barred pargo, 12 Eastern Pacific
bonito, 125 white skipjack, 1 African
Pompano, 4 barred pargo, 15 cabrilla
and 105 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
