BAJA ROUNDUP Oct 12 - 26, 2018 VOL.37 • ISS. 22 “ 33 Tuna, Wahoo And Bills Delight Off East Cape T his year’s fishing season continues to impress,” exclaimed Eddie Dalmau of Van Wormer Resorts. “We have stated this in past reports, if you have not booked a trip this season, you need to get down here and check out the action. Right now, we are seeing a good amount of nice size tuna along with a steady wahoo bite and billfish bite. We even saw our first spearfish of the season, which was a big one landed last week on the cruiser Mahi Mahi.” “The action is great as it usually is in the East Cape come summer and fall. We have Blue Marlin, striped marlin, sailfish, roosters, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, dorado, pargo and jacks. Lots of possibilities that will keep anglers busy,” Dalmau concluded.

The year the sailfish has also been pretty hot at the 95 spot and in that area,” reported Captain Jerry Chapman of JC Sportfishing. “It seems that ballyhoo and live bait are landing the sailfish and we think the fact that we have extremely warm water in the area is bringing in the sailfish. The sailfish have been here a lot longer this year due to warmer water in our area,” said Chapman. “The striped marlin fishing is good also with most fleet boats hooking a couple a day. So, if you’re into marlin and possibly a blue marlin now is the time to come to Cabo and we expect it to remain good as long as the water stays warm,” predicted Chapman. “The tuna bite this past week was good with plenty of football size fish being caught and even some big toads that tipped the scales at 140lbs to 180lbs. Inshore action for tuna has been good also and it seems the fish are hitting king busters big time. A couple miles off of Margarita down to the Light House and Pump House area has been another good are for the tuna. Heck, grab a panga and do some inshore angling for tuna as they are inshore in abundance,” Chapman exclaimed. Anglers fishing out of the Hotel Buena Vista Beach Resort on the East Cape have been landing some very nice tuna. This fish was caught on September 17.
