Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques

Tip&Trick Description 1:
My first time fishing Lake Cachuma was this last weekend April 27th 2002 and I will let you in on a secret this is a fine lake with great staff excellent fishing and abundant campsites. I was very impressed with the guys at the marina ( Jim and Allen) for giving us great tips for fishing their lake without holding back any information necessary for a first timer to their lake. Right out of the marina he told me to troll straight thru the center of the lake and we would be sure to get bit and he was right. Less than 10 minutes from the launch ramp right where he suggested we caught the first fish a nice largemouth bass about 3-4 lbs and lost the first hook up as we were surprised to get a strike so soon. This fish jumped clear out of the water and fought like a much larger fish than it actually ended up being. |

Tip&Trick Description 2:
We released the bass and continued anxious to get to the trout which is what we were after. On the way to the next spot Jim and Allen had given us directions to we saw 4 deer on the shore grazing like they owned the place (which I guess they did) We set our sites on the points jetting out along the far side of the lake about 200 feet offshore. Instantly off one of the points both the reels went off as we were trolling rainbow trout colored Yo-zuri Emperor Minnows and L-Jack series lures on 4 and 6 lb test at a fairly slow troll. First fish fell off but I managed to get mine to the boat and into it for supper that evening. We did a turn around and went right back over the same spot and sure enough another missed opportunity. Back we went again with another 2 strikes managing to get one in the boat for a better meal for the 3 of us eating that night. Back and forth again for nothing and we decided to give the opposite bank a try. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
On the other side of the lake were the serious bass guy's fishing the bow of their sleek boats with the chairs and trolling motor on the bow. We steered clear of them and moved again about 200 feet off the shoreline and continued our trolling pattern slow and parallel to shore. We started noticing the wind more and more as we headed back towards the launch ramp noticing there was only one jacket made it to the boat and it was mine! We again managed to get another rainbow to strike right out of the water it jumped and then a small battle and into the boat it came. We were done now 1 fish each for dinner and one released bass in about 2 hours fishing time. Now it was back to camp to make dinner and get warm. A jacket is a good thing to bring on any lake as the wind always decides to blow in the afternoon. I must tell you that the guy's at the marina tackle shop know their stuff about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Without their tips we may have come home empty handed as several others had that day. Good luck if you get a chance to fish Lake Cachuma and be sure to say hello the the great guys at the tackle shop near the launch ramp it may pay off big time for you in the long run.....Fish on! <'))))>< |

“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 9 FEBRUARY, 2004
Sue and Michael Sturges were our anglers today, and a referral from another client.
Boy, were they happy at the end of the day! The morning started out right, with a
double hook up on Striped Marlin on live bait just 7 miles out of the Marina towards the
95 spot. Mikes fish came off pretty quickly but Sue got her fish tot he boat for a tag and
good release. About that time Manuel got a call n the radio about a dead whale found
off of the Palmilla hotel out around 10 miles and off they went. When they were
traveling he was told that there were Dorado all over the place but they were being very
picky and not biting the big baits. The boat was turned to shore where they traded
three Caballito for some Sardinas, then out tot he whale. It was not a fish story, it was
true, and there were a couple of boats already there. Even so, they were able to catch
10 Dorado before they ran out of bait and time! A great day was had and everyone
was happy! Thanks guys, we are glad you had fun!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 11 FEBRUARY, 2004
Roger Emerick was today’s angler. His wife and himself had fished on Monday on
another boat and had gone 40 miles tot he south looking for the warm water and gotten
not one strike. Her back is bad so she was not on today’s trip. Up until about 11:30
Roger thought the day was going to be a repeat. Then he hooked into a 35 pound
Dorado. In a short time the dinner fish was in the boat. About an hour later a Sailfish
came into the pattern. Juan dropped a live bait Back the Sail went from the short rigger
lure to the bait, back and forth, taping each one over and over. Finally, to everyone’s
surprise, the Sailfish ate the almost dead-in-the-water lure and was hooked solid! The
fight was brief, only about 10 minutes, but Juan was able to get a tag into the fish and it
was released healthy, a perfect 100 pound Pacific Sailfish. About an hour later a
Striped Marlin was seen on the surface and a bait tossed. The Marlin swirled on the
bait, missed it and then got hooked on the top of the tail! The fight took about 20
minutes for Roger and he had the fish to the boat twice. Juan was able to get the
leader in hand and cut it close to the fish, but was not able to get a tag in. After that
fight Roger had enough and asked to return. He had a great time and said that Juan
and Manuel were one of the best teams he had ever fished with. This is from a man
who has owned and fished a 60’ and 37’ Hattaras here in Cabo before. Thanks Roger,
we are glad it was not just a boat ride!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 12 FEBRUARY, 2004
Buffalo, Chris, Steve and Brett were fishing the “Fly Hooker” today, and it was a very
late go since it was at the last moment. Buffalo and Chris live here and are timeshare
salesmen (don’t let their mothers know!) and had thought that the boss was going to let
them use his boat for today’s trip, but it was already booked. I got the call at 7:30 this
morning and had Manuel call Phillipe (Juan’s day off) to work as deckhand. The guys
showed up at 8:30 and had a bottle of Vodka (Chris) and a case and a half of beer.
Buffalo was cracking jokes to Manuel and Phillipe right away and had them laughing
really quick! Off they went and at 11:30 Manuel called on the phone and said that they
were coming in at noon, there was no more booze left! Apparently Chris had broken
the bottle of Vodka and had made a big dent in the beer supply. Of course, they were
tired of catching fish as well! Buffalo said that they had hooked 19 Dorado. They only
kept a few and released the rest, but the fish were all in that 10-15 pound range.
Buffalo was impressed but did complain that since it was his day off he thought he
should not have had to work so hard. Chris got the biggest fish of the trip, but he stole
the turn from Buffalo. The fish were found about 10 miles out of the lighthouse on the
Pacific side, almost due south. There were about 10 other boats working the school
(no dead whale). It was a great day and everybody was happy.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 13 FEBRUARY, 2004
Garret Ferris and his friends Craig, Mike and Bob are our anglers today. They are
also fishing on the 14th and 15th. Get fish, preferably Marlin was the request. Today
Juan and Manuel took them 22 miles to the southwest, to the south of the San Jaime
Banks. There were plenty of boats working the area but that was because there were
fish around. It took a while, working the porpoise, but eventually they were able to get
6 football Yellowfin Tuna in the boat. On the way back from the area they had a brief
hook up with a Striped Marlin, and they did see one jumping around. Tomorrow
perhaps the Marlin bite will be better. Juan said that there were a lot of Marlin being
sighted about 5 miles farther out so they will try there tomorrow. Our fingers are
crossed!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR 14 FEBRUARY, 2004
Garret, Mike, Bob and Craig were out again today and the target was Marlin. Juan
and Manuel went 25 miles to the south of the Pacific lighthouse and were able to get
bait in front of a few fish. Luckily two of them were hungry and ate the live bait. Only
one of them stayed hooked up though, and Craig was the lucky angler. It was his first
Marlin and he was really pumped about it! I was told that the fight was about 40
minutes and the fish weighed about 120 pounds, did a lot of jumping and was very
strong and healthy when finally tagged and released. Congratulations Craig!
