CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT JUNE 7 TO JUNE 13, 2004
WEATHER: This week our daytime highs were around the low 90’s while our night time lows were in the mid 70’s to high 60’s. Strong consistent winds early in the week and they kept blowing until Thursday. The wind was from the north at 10-15 knots with gusts to 20 knots. Partly cloudy and no rain!
WATER: It’s warming back up and that’s a good thing. Our coldest water at the end of the week was on the Pacific side up toward the Golden Gate Bank where we had water in the 67 degree range. Drop down toward the San Jaime Banks and it warmed up to 70 degrees and on the Jaime itself the temperature was up to 72 degrees. The water on the Sea of Cortez has also warmed up and we were getting readings as high as 81 degrees just a mile off the beach. This warm water has followed the coast down and extends out around three miles at the warmest and then gets in the 78 degree range out around the 95 and 1150 spots. Farther out it drops a bit more to 73 degrees. Due to the strong winds, the water on the Pacific side and the Cortez side off shore early in the week was uncomfortable with lots of chop along with some big swells. Later in the week things mellowed out a lot.
BAIT: Small Caballito at $2 per bait, some Mullet at $2 per bait and some Sardinas at $20 per bucket.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Lots of Striped Marlin out there, just a bit difficult to get some of them to eat! The best results have been on lures this week. Early on the fish were off the outer Gorda Banks about two miles and as the warm water came toward us the fish followed. At the end of the week there was good action and good numbers of fish from one mile off shore to the 95 and 1150 spots. Most boats had shots at multiple fish during the day and few of them came in without any flags flying. There were Marlin found on the Pacific side as well, just not in the same numbers. I am starting to get reports of some Blue Marlin coming into the spreads and hopefully this will continue as well!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Again it was a slow week for Yellowfin Tuna. I did see a lot of white flags flying, but when I went to talk to the Captains and anglers I could see that there were Marlin on the flags. Just to confuse us I suppose. The few fish that were caught were found to the south of the San Jaime Banks, in the open and without any Porpoise around. A friend of mine reported seeing lots of Tuna on his depth sounder out 2 miles on the Cortez side but they were deep and would not come up. He said that is why there are three Purse Seiners anchored off the Beach here, they are waiting for the fish to come up. Or maybe they are here on vacation?
DORADO: There were a few more Dorado flags flying this week than there were last week and that is to be expected as the water warms up. We still do not have any great numbers of them but the size is getting better. It appeared as if around 20% of the boats out this week were able to get a Dorado or two, and they were being found all over the place, no particular area held more or bigger fish. I take that back, the larger fish were off shore while there were smaller fish found in close. Marlin lures worked well, but that may be because that is what most boats were running!
WAHOO: Again just a few fish. Hopefully with the warmer water and the moon changing the bite will pick up.
INSHORE: The Rooster fish have re-appeared on the Pacific beaches and there have been Jack Crevalle mixed in as well. The Roosters seem to be following the warm water as it creeps north. Most of the fish have been in the 20 pound class with a few larger ones in the mix. There were a couple of days when Pargo were biting off of the Lighthouse in close to the rocks. Of course, live bait was the key on all these fish, Mullet for the Roosterfish and Sardinas for the Pargo. A friend caught the largest Yellowtail of the year so far on live bait off of the arch, a nice 33 pound fish.
NOTES: It is starting to look like summer is here. The water is warming up, the Dorado, Roosterfish and Blue Marlin are beginning to come in and the water is starting to calm down. Fingers are crossed that the trend continues. For those of you that are interested, a lot of my water temperature information is based on charts and date from the guys at the terrafin web site. It is a pay site, but if you are on the water a lot it sure is a great tool. Give it a shot and go to the web site and click on the samples and you can see what I mean. This weeks report was written to the great sounds of Credence Clearwater Revival on the 1991 Fantasy Records release “Chronicle, The 20 Greatest Hits”. Until next week, Tight Lines!
