This is a report from this past week by Eric Bricston of Gordo Banks Pangas in San Jose del Cabo. If anyone is interested, there arent many snook down there but every now and then, Eric puts up a report like this one.
Anglers fishing off the beach have not had much to talk about of late, besides some early morning scattered action for sierra. The exception was Len Benko from B.C. Canada who has been a long time winter resident of San Jose de Cabo and reported an incredible personal best catch of a trophy-sized world class snook caught off the beach in front of Coral Baja Resort. He hooked into the monster at eight o’clock Thursday evening while using cut shrimp for bait, the fish was some 45 inches in length and estimated to weigh at least 45pounds.
This is the time of year when some real monsters are caught by the locals in the san jose river estuary. I havnt yet heard of one taken on a fly, but I seriously doubt theres any effort.
