Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Baja fishing rundown. We woke up to a light west breeze and mostly clear skies up and down the peninsula, with a weak early swell and comfortable temps on the water. Around Cabo and the Pacific side, it’s been a cool, gray dawn that burns off fast, while the Sea of Cortez side from La Paz to Loreto has been glassy first thing, then choppy with the afternoon wind line. Tides are running moderate: a good predawn high sliding toward a late‑morning drop, then a decent afternoon push. That first high has been the magic window—boats leaving in the dark and getting bit right as color shows in the east. Sunrise is landing just after 6 a.m. down here, sunset near 8 p.m., so you’ve got a nice, long light cycle to work with. Off **Cabo San Lucas**, the 1150 and 95 spots have kicked out striped marlin and a few early yellowfin. Most fish are coming on trolled ballyhoo and small lures in purple/black and petrolero colors. The local captains are also slow‑trolling live caballito on the temperature breaks and picking at the marlin steadily, plus a few dorado sliding in on floating debris. On the **Gordo Banks** and Iman, the panga fleet has been into solid yellowfin tuna—nothing huge, mostly school‑grade 15–40 pounds—with a couple bigger models mixed in. Best bite has been on live sardinas fly‑lined on 30–40‑pound fluoro, with a flourocarbon leader making a big difference in that clear water. Some boats chumming cut squid are also getting picked up. Bring smaller hooks; the bite has been a little finicky. Inshore from **San José del Cabo up toward Los Frailes**, roosterfish are cruising the beaches. Guys tossing live mullet tight to the sand are seeing quality gallos, and a few are smashing big surface plugs. If you’re working artificials, big white or bone‑colored stickbaits and poppers pulled fast along the drop‑off are the ticket. Mixed in are jack crevalle and the odd pargo when you get your bait a little deeper around the rocks. Around **La Paz**, both the bay and the offshore seamounts have been steady. The local pangueros are putting clients on dorado under birds and around sargassum; small skirted lures in blue/white and live sardinas are doing damage. There have also been amberjack and big cabrilla on the high spots for folks willing to yo‑yo heavy jigs—think 200‑gram knife jigs in blue chrome or scrambled egg, fished right on the bottom with stout tackle. Farther north near **Loreto**, the early‑season yellowtail bite is tapering but still hanging on the deeper rocks. Live mackerel on dropper loops and 6–8 ounce sinkers are still producing, especially on that morning down‑slope tide. Plenty of bonito and barracuda around to keep rods bent when the yellows get picky. For bait, live sardina and caballito continue to be king offshore, mullet for the beach roosters, and squid strips as a backup when the live stuff is scarce. On the artificial side, pack: - Small‑to‑medium trolling lures in purple/black, petrolero, and blue/white for marlin, tuna, and dorado. - Surface poppers and stickbaits in natural baitfish colors for roosters and jacks. - Heavy jigs and 4–6 inch glow or sardine‑pattern soft plastics for bottom fish and deeper structure. If you’re looking for **hot spots** right now, put your money on: - The **Gordo Banks** outside San José del Cabo for tuna and the chance at a few billfish. - The stretch from **La Ribera to Los Frailes**, tight to the beach, for roosterfish and mixed inshore action. That’s the word from the Baja coast. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
