GORDO BANKS PANGAS
September 1st, 2024

This Friday August 30th marked one year of my father, Eric Brictson’s passing. We thank you all for your continued loyalty and support to Gordo Banks Pangas throughout this difficult year. We are committed to continuing his legacy of honest and accurate fishing reports and sportfishing charters. We are writing a shorter than usual report this week and will be back next Sunday, September 7th with our routine weekly report. Enjoy a few pictures from this week below.

We continue to catch yellowfin tuna offshore with porpoise schools. Most of these schools were found closer to Cabrillo this week. This weekend, we saw a handful of fish over the 100-pound mark, the biggest one around 160-170 pounds.

Spotty wahoo bite at San Luis and Iman. Most of the strikes came on XRaps (greenish color) and rigged ballyhoo/live caballito. On Thursday, captain Tony on the Hooker was able to land 4 nice wahoo, while losing a couple more. The bite remained spotty throughout the weekend.

More dorado and marlin (striped and blue) were caught closer to shore, anywhere from 10-12 miles out from our marina. Good areas to start were towards Palmilla point heading towards Gordo Banks or viceversa.

Good Fishing, Brian
