Jc Sportfishing Charters is a family owned and operated business and has been fishing in Cabo San Lucas for the past 18 years. Jerry, explains that his charter business is geared more for families and novice anglers, making sure everyone who charters a boat with him have a great time and lots of fun. We welcome families, and groups. We want everyone who fishes with us to take all the sites in and have memorable experience. This is what is most important to us. We have and do a few tournaments each year and can cater to fisherman who might be interested in tournament fishing. Well lets get on with the fishing report for this past week.
WEATHER: The weather has been really good all week with basically a little warmer than normal temperatures. The wind has still been blowing in the afternoons and does have some effect on the fishing but it has tailed of some compared to what it was over last 2 weeks. The heat is coming early this year I can feel it some days this as we were close to hitting ninety a few days over the last 10 days.
WATER: The water temperature has warmed some with temperatures in the low 70,s to mid 70,s in most. This rush of warmer water in the area is a little early but we expect fishing to get better because of it.
TUNA: I don’t have any reports on Tuna as they are pretty much nonexistent right now and were are hoping for some schools to show.
BILLFISH: Well the fishing has been pretty crazy with water temperatures all over the map and the Marlin fishing really slow at the beginning of the week with a few fish caught down by Palmilla to the inside of Gordo Banks and we caught them on ballyhoo and live bait. The week really started off with bad fishing and in the middle of the week we were getting skunked and then it slowly rebounded by Friday with a number of Marlin catches in the 1150 and 95 spots, then all **** broke loose on Saturday and there was Marlin everywhere from the 1150 all the way up the Light House offshore and inshore we were catching Marlin. We had 3 boats out that day and we caught 9 Marlin and 2 Dorado from those 3 boats. So the Marlin fishing really came back towards the end of the week making for some happy anglers.
DORADO: The Dorado fishing has been pretty good lately up and around the 1150 and one day we found a buoy floating by and there was all kinds of Dorado and Wahoo underneath it and we had a field day catching fish. Lots of boats were in the area and everyone cleaned up catching 5 or 6 Dorado a boat and a good number of Wahoo.
INSHORE: The inshore fishing is still just ok from Grey Rock to the Pump House with lots of big Sierras caught on ballyhoo slow trolled and even some caught on hootchies and stripped bait. There is still a few Yellowtail being caught in front of the Solmar and off Sunset Beach and we are jigging iron to land them. To be honest with you the Yellowtail fishing has really never kicked in this season and I don’t think the water really got cold enough and stay cold long enough for the Yellowtail to hang around. There has been a few Groupers, but not much, and what has been caught, were landed on iron and cut bait.
WAHOO: There has been some good numbers of Wahoo this past week with most of them being landed Friday and Saturday and they were hanging with the Dorado and it seems this warm water we have in the area has really propelled the Dorado and Wahoo bite because normally we wouldn’t be catching those fish this time of year, but who is complaining. Most Wahoo landed were in the 30lbs to 50lbs range.

Jerrys Grilled Grouper
This is a Baja California secret ... and a great way to grill fish that leaves you worry-free. Not only does this make for easier fish cleaning, but the scales keep the fish from drying out while on the grill. Fish cooked this way consistently results in juicy, moist fillets.
Ingredients
4 tablespoons melted butter
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon Essence, recipe follows
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 (3 1/2 to 4 pound) grouper, fillets removed with scales intact
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs, such as tarragon, thyme, basil or chives
Arugula and Orange Salad
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Salad:
2 cups arugula, cleaned
2 cups baby spinach, cleaned
1/2 red onion, sliced thinly
1 orange, supremed
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the grill to medium-high.
In a small bowl combine the butter, garlic, Parmesan, Essence, and olive oil and whisk to combine.
Lay the fillets on the grill, scale side down, and brush generously with the melted butter mixture. Close the grill cover and cook for 3 minutes. Open and brush again with the melted butter mixture. Repeat this process until the flesh is firm and opaque, for a total cooking time of about 12 to 15 minutes for this size fish. The last minute of cooking time, sprinkle with the fresh herbs. Remove from the grill and serve immediately with Arugula and Orange Salad.
Jerrys Secrect Seasoning
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
Yield: about 2/3 cup
In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, spinach, red onion, and orange segments.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, orange juice, and vinegar. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the oil. Whisk until emulsified and season with salt and pepper.


BEWARE: Please beware of the guys in the street selling boat charters. If you wait till the day you are fishing and go to the dock where your boat is many times people will mislead you to another boat or dock trying to put you on a boat that was not meant for you. You need to have a person guide you to your boat, who is from a reputable charter company. This way there is no confusion or misleading. Please remember when renting Sport fishing boats in Cabo that you rent your boat from reputable and established business. Walk into a fishing fleet office and ask questions about what you are getting and what are the costs? You dont want to rent boats from vendors in the streets and you do not want to book through shady websites offering you the world. Check through travel forums about reputable fishing fleets to deal with. Look for testimonials about the fleet your booking your charter with. Ask about what will the boat be supplying? Will it include beverages or lunches? How much does it cost to fillet your catch? Check to see if charter boat is insured? Ask about getting your catch smoked? Check cost of fishing license. These are just a few things to consider when booking your charter boat. We will be talking more about this in next weeks fishing report. Until next time good fishing and we hope to see you in Cabo soon.
