Historically in June we experience beautiful blue water conditions which produce spectacular beauty visually. The accompanying excitement and
satisfaction on the water for anglers when the water temperature is ideal for all species is just not here ? not yet. Strong winds result from
offshore highs ? making the winds circle in from all directions and produce choppy surface conditions. Choppy waters are tough to get comfortable on,
and even more so when there are no fish to be found.
Inshore gets mixed reviews this period as sierra and yellowtail are moving around - not concentrated. During the end of this period a school of
football size Yellowfin Tuna moved in close to shore providing hookups for guests aboard single engine vessels. Yellowfin are usually found swimming
with porpoise pods but not the case this time. Not much to eat on these small fish tho they are exciting action for anglers.
Offshore this period is best described as unpredictable. Those boats of ours with enough horsepower to travel way up into the Sea of Cortez found
either giant Humboldt squid or Striped Marlin pods. Those that encountered squid caught nothing else. Those that found marlin found nothing else.
Water and Air Conditions can and do change quickly. With the grand Pacific Ocean and the magnificent Sea of Cortez crashing together the affects are
incredible. Mix in the climate conditions affected by highs, lows and jetstreams and we are all kept guessing!

I guess I'll be doing the ATV tours and hanging out at lovers beach. I've had enough $400 boat rides in my days in Cabo. I'll be down there tomorrow
and can only hope the fishing improves.Bummer on the poor conditions. I have my son and dad looking to get into some action offshore.
