CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 26-SEPT. 1,
2002
WEATHER: Most of the week we had clear and sunny
skies with the highs up to the 100
degree mark and the lows in the low 80�s at night.
Very typical Cabo weather for this time of
year. We did have a bit of a sprinkle early in the
morning on Wednesday as some low clouds
moved through, but only enough to spot up the
windshields. On Saturday afternoon you could
see the cloud cover start to move in and on Sunday
it was overcast with hints of rain. This is
associated with Hurricane Hernan, which is to the
southwest of us and moving northwest. The
swells and breeze from this band of weather had the
Port Captain close the port at noon on
Sunday but it expected to be re-opened either
Monday or Tuesday. ( Mystical Adventures Part I)
WATER: As the week comes to an end we have a band
of warm water reading up to 89 degrees
stretching across the Cape. This band extends into
the Pacific out to the San Jaime banks and is
about 10-15 miles wide, starting from the shore.
Outside this band the water drops to 83 degrees.
The surface conditions on both the Sea of Cortez
side and the Pacific side have been very good,
with small swells and light chop all week.
Starting Saturday we began to see some larger
swells
moving in, results of Hurricane Hernan, away to the
southwest of us. Mystical Adventures Part
III)
BAIT: Most of the larger baits available this week
were Caballito, though I heard some of the
boats were able to get fresh Mackerel. No word on
Sardinas again. The larger baits are the usual
$2 per bait. (Mystical Adventures Part V)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Lots of Striped Marlin out there! This
week started out with a bang and just
continued to roll, at least for the boats with
clients. Many of the boats were getting multiple
hook-ups on the Striped Marlin and often had three
on at a time! Many anglers said not to toss
bait to the ones they were seeing because it was
taking up all their fishing time! Ouch! The
largest concentration of the Striped Marlin were on
the Pacific, just off shore about five miles and
out at the San Jaime Banks, but there were enough
of them scattered around that all the boats
were getting shots. A few Blue Marlin are showing
up in the catches also, but not in the numbers
I thought there would be at this time of year. On
Sunday there were a lot of bites from Blues
reported, but that often happens this time of year
as a Hurricane comes close. The bite was an
even mix of live bait and lures for the Striped
Marlin with no particular preference in color on
the
lures. (Rhythms Of Hope)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Tuna bite dropped off a bit
from the action last week but there were
still quite a few of the football fish being found
on the Sea of Cortez side of the Cape. Most of
these fish were associated with Porpoise and were
hitting on small 4� feathers. A few toads were
caught by boats lucky enough to be in the right
place at the right time. (As)
DORADO: Plenty of yellow flags were being flown
from outriggers this week, sometimes it
looked like there was a laundry competition going
on! A few of the fish were small, in the 8-10
pound range, but most of them were a bit bigger, in
the 15-25 category. There were a few of the
giants caught as well and the larger fish were
mainly hooked up on Marlin lures. 4� to 6�
feathers
and surface runners accounted for the majority of
the fish but many of them were caught on live
bait when a school was found. The action was
spread out but seemed to be better on the Pacific
side. (Final Truth Part I)
WAHOO: This week is like last week on Wahoo. A
few flags were flown but these fish were
found while searching for other species. (Final
Truth Part II)
INSHORE: Repeat of last weeks fishing as far as
the inshore bite goes, lots of Dorado, a few
Marlin, some Roosterfish and Skipjack along with a
medium bite on Snapper and Grouper. (Jig)
NOTES: The fishing just continues to get better
and better! Our only problem has been the lack
of fishermen. Seems that it happens every year, as
the fishing improves the weather gets warmer
and muggier and fewer anglers visit. Oh well, the
fish are here. If you can get away, now is the
time to come on down. Hurricane Hernan will give
us some large swells and overcast skies, but
that is just for a few days, then back to the
sunshine! This weeks music written to the great
sound
