GORDO BANKS PANGAS
September 28th, 2025
We are now seeing a noticeable increase in angler activity as more fishing enthusiasts arrive in the Los Cabos area. Despite experiencing periods of rain on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, conditions remained favorable for fishing. The wind was not a significant factor, allowing our fleet to head out and fish every day of the week.
Bottom fishing took the spotlight this week. We saw solid numbers of snapper, primarily dogtooth and mullet snapper caught using large strips or chunks of skipjack. We mostly focused in the areas of Iman, 25, and Inner Gordo. The largest snapper of the week came in at an impressive 58 pounds, with many others ranging between 30 and 40 pounds.
Amberjack also made a strong showing, with a few impressive catches landed while drifting with live chiwilis. The two biggest amberjacks of the week came in at 54 and 58 pounds. While drifting chiwilis, one of the boats landed an unexpected 30-pound Rooster.
While bottom fishing stole the show, we’re still seeing some pelagic activity, particularly at Iman. Yellowfin tuna and dorado are being caught on live sardines and strips of squid. Most of these tuna continue to be on the smaller side averaging 5-10 pounds. However, we did see more tuna in the 20–30-pound class this week. A few quality dorado were also caught on live sardines within the same area.
A few wahoo were also seen in the mix. Most of the wahoo were hooked while trolling Rapalas, rigged Ballyhoo, and small marlin lures. The best areas for wahoo strikes remained Iman and the 25 Spot. This Sunday, one of our boats landed 2 nice 30-pound wahoo early in the morning at 25.
Good Fishing, Brian.
