Cabo Fish Report
August 27-Sept. 2, 2005
WEATHER: This week we had high temperatures in the mid to high 90’s with our night time lows in the low to mid 70’s. a little more comfortable than we had last week, but not by much. I was gone for the first part of the week but was told that we did have a few sprinkles on early Monday morning.
WATER: The water on the Sea of Cortez has been in the 84-88 degree range this week and that warmer water has been working its way around the cape toward the Pacific. On the Pacific the water has mostly been in the low 80’s with most of it right at 81-82 degrees. The water on both sides of the Cape has been very comfortable for fishing with swells slight at 2-3 feet and very little wind chop since the wind has stayed down all week.
BAIT: Mostly Caballito from the boat boats at the normal $2 per bait but there has also been Sardinas available up around the Palmilla area at $20 a scoop. There have also been Mackerel available for the “catch it yourself crowd” if you were up around the Golden Gate Banks.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: We have been seeing a variety this week as Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Striped Marlin as well as Sailfish have been biting fairly well depending on where you have been fishing. Several areas have put themselves in the spot light this week. One of the was the Golden Gate Banks early in the week, especially if you hit it during the tide change. There were tons of Mackerel schooling on the bank and they were being very actively fed on by the Striped Marlin. Catching your own bait and then sending them into the depths resulted in many boats catching ands releasing up to six fish per boat. Lures worked well also with anything in the “petrelero” color bringing on fast action. The 95 spot was consistent in providing action from Sailfish, Striped Marlin and Blue Marlin with most of the strikes coming on lures and a few on drifted live baits. Most of the Black Marlin action came for boats working closer to shore, mostly within the 100 fathom curve, and there were fish up to 600 pounds jumping on lures. Also there were a few nice fish taken by slow trolling live Skipjack across the drop-offs along the points. Sailfish were at the 95 spot and also found at the Gorda Banks as well as up around Punta Gorda. They were falling for feathers in dark colors and also biting on slow trolled Sardinas. All in all, a good week for Billfish. Oh, there were also some very nice Blues found along the Pacific canyons!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: A mix this week with school fish reported to be on the bite around the Gorda Banks, both the inner and the outer, but they seemed to be fixated on small baits, most of the action coming to boats drifting Sardinas. I did see a few nice fish in the 100 pound range brought in on Friday, but I was not able to work loose any information on the where, when or how. Jeeze, come on guys, it’s not like I am going to tell the whole world! (He-he)
DORADO: I saw a lot of Dorado flags this week and while there were a few nice fish to 50 pounds caught, most of the fish seemed to be in the 15-20 pound class. Close to shore, mostly within 2 miles was where most of the action took place with the exception of several boats that were able to find a piece of floating wood that held a decent school.
WAHOO: Not very many but a few boats did get lucky with fish in the 30-50 pound class. I also heard of a few boats getting bit off by fish reportedly to 100 pounds. Guess that happens when you use light leader for picky Dorado. The action was pretty evenly divided between the Pacific side of the Cape and the Sea of Cortez.
INSHORE: Inshore action was a bit slow this week but I did have a couple of guys who had a blast catching some Roosterfish to 40 pounds then got lucky on a nice Wahoo. Most of the normal inshore action was slow so the majority of the Pangas were heading off shore. Nice water and decent Billfish action made that a good option for a lot of anglers.
NOTES: You may notice that this weeks report is a bit abbreviated and is coming out a bit early as well. We picked up a virus on the home machine and it will not be back from the computer hospital until Tuesday. I think they are performing a lobotomy on the darn thing. I did not get back to Cabo until Wednesday night so most of the early week information is secondhand. By the way, the IGFA Certified Observer course held at Newport Beach last Sunday was excellent, and many thanks to all the guys I met there for making it a great event. And finally, Linda, I hope you family in New Orleans is all right! Until next week (an hopefully not from a $6 per hour internet café), Tight Lines!
