Bisbee's East Cape Tournament has been hot. And we don't just mean the
weather. Tournaments usually bring out the best and most dedicated
anglers and this year is no exception. The final results are in after
the awards banquet last night at the Hotel Buena Vista Beach Resort. Day
one was some great fishing and great competition. And the big score of
the day was at 11:11:52 when Chucky VanWormer aboard the La Hielera set
a new tournament record by hooking and landing a 557 pound monster Blue
Marlin.

In this years tournament there were 62 teams consisting of 311 anglers.
The total billfish count for the tournament was 311. Only two Black
Marlin were brought in to be released. There were 25 Pacific Sailfish,
39 Striped Marlin and 38 Blue Marlin. But only the one caught by Chucky
VanWormer made it to the scales and was able to score some points.

The Tuna fishing was good, but only 4 brought to the scales were
qualifying with weights over the 40 pound minimum. The winning Yellowfin
Tuna was brought in by the team on the Moonraker. They had the winning
Yellowfin Tuna which weighed in at 56.20 pounds, they also had the
second place Yellowfin Tuna at 51.50 pounds.

The Dorado fishing was also pretty good with eight fish being brought to
the scales and weighing in at over the 30 pound minimum. They ranged
from 31.4 to a giant 47 pound Dorado also brought in by the Moonraker.

There was some disappointment that not more qualifying fish were brought
to the scales, but the numbers were good, the seas were calm and a good
time was had by all. With a new record for largest marlin caught during
the tournament hopes are high for more big fish the rest of the
tournament season.

Congratulations to all the fishermen from Picante Sportfishing and we
look forward to seeing you all during the fall tournament season.

Watch for some more fun in October when Cabo Fishing Tournament season
goes into high gear.

Cabo Sportfishing report for the week of 11-17 July 2011 from Picantesportfishing

Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Cabo Sportfishing report for the week of 11-17 July 2011 from Picantesportfishing <http://www.picantesportfishing.com>.

As we settle into the summer weather the fishing is still hanging in there. Most days have been under mostly blue skies with some clouds. It has been pretty calm in the mornings and later in the afternoon the day breeze picks up a little.

Marlin fishing has slowed down a bit with one in three boats bringing the Striped Marlin to the boats for a release. And we are now starting to see more Dorado. While the marlin fishing has slowed down the tuna fishing is still doing well.

For the week the boats have been averaging almost 3 Yellowfin Tuna per boat. And the Roosterfishing is still good. There have been numerous reports of Roosterfish over 50 pounds being caught in the Los Cabos area.

Now,we as we approach the hurricane season the weather is getting hot and humid. This week we are watching the development of Tropical Storm Dora as she builds up steam and heads north toward the Baja Peninsula. Tune in next week to see how the weather affects the weeks fishing.

Things in Cabo San Lucas are starting to settle into the summer rhythm.
The water has warmed up and we are getting into the routine of warm calm
mornings with the day breeze starting in the early afternoon.

The fishing has been pretty good. Good numbers of Striped Marlin are
being released and lots of Yellowfin Tuna are hitting the lures. With a
liberal sprinkling of Dorado and some inshore action with Roosterfish
it's a great mixture of fishing and catching.

And we are again seeing some shark action. All in all Cabo is still
producing the fishing that keeps people coming back for more.

The water in Cabo is finally warming up. We have been dealing with cold water from the Pacific being blown down and then around the peninsula and up as far as San Jose. Not the pattern we usually have. But now the fishing will heat up. About midweek the weather started warming up with the remnants of Tropical Storm Arlene coming from Eastern Mexico and across the mainland as she dumped lots of moisture and hit the west coast of mainland Mexico. We are now getting what's left of her moisture and heat. The humidity is up and with the clouds and calm mornings the ocean heated up quickly.

With the warmer water the Blue Marlin, Black Marlin and Sailfish are moving in. There have been some Blues and Blacks being hooked and some landed. We, at Picante, have been catching mainly Striped Marlin and Sailfish. Some of the Striped Marlin have been pretty small, just around 100 pounds. Wonder is that has to be with the water getting warm and the younger fish being in more abundance. And the Yellowfin Tuna are again showing up.

Along with all the Yellowfin Tuna are some nice Dorado catches. We had one of over 55 pounds landed and it is going to get better. Now is prime time for the fishing to heat up.

There have been some really nice Roosterfish being caught. One Roosterfish was estimated around 60 pounds. And another caught was estimated to be over 70 pounds. I know that estimates can be a little off, but even if they were, those were still some huge Roosterfish. Be sure to check back next week when the fishing should really heat up.
