GORDO BANKS PANGAS
June 29th, 2025

Wind conditions were favorable for us this week. Our boats were able to fish different rock structures in the area of San Luis. Many of the boats reported an early morning bite. The best action came within the first hour or two on jigs. Most of our boats caught plenty of red snapper, amberjack, and a handful of grouper. Some of the big amberjack came on live caballito.

After catching enough for dinner, most boats went closer inshore to try for a big rooster. 3 of the boats reported landing roosters in the 50–60-pound range. The others were also nice size (20-30 pounds). On Wednesday, one of our pangas caught 1 amberjack, 6 red snapper, 1 grouper, and release 7 roosters (1 pushing 60 pounds).

Not much to report offshore as most of our boats focused on the bottom and inshore. The cruisers that trolled offshore did not report much as we only saw a couple of dorado and marlin. One blue marlin, averaging 200 pounds was caught as well. No wahoo or tuna were brought to the fillet table this week.

This week, we saw big schools of caballito and mullet enter our marina. We also had big schools of baby sardines in the mix. We are hoping that our bait situation continues to improve as sardines are a must to efficiently target tuna later this year.

We are closing monitoring a storm on the Pacific that could strengthen to a Category 1 Hurricane by Wednesday. As of now, it seems that it will not be a direct hit, though we are expecting some rain on Wednesday and Thursday. We are expecting the port to close down these 2 days.

Good Fishing, Brian
