CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MARCH 31-APRIL 6, 2003
WEATHER: What a strange week we have had. It was mostly cloudy all week except for
Saturday when the sun broke through for the whole day. On Tuesday and Wednesday we actually
had what might be considered rain (realizing we are in a desert and if it speckles the windshield
we run for cover). Our high temperatures were in the mid 80’s and the lows in the low 60’s.
Winds from the northwest, gusting to 20 knots on some afternoons but nice and calm in the
mornings. (Are You Ready For The Country?)
WATER: The water on the Pacific side was choppy and sloppy almost all week long and on the
Sea of Cortez we had flat water between Cabo and San Jose. Past San Jose it was big swells and
very choppy until Saturday when we had good water up there. The Pacific calmed down a bit too
and was fishable but a bit sloppy. The water is warming up and we were getting temperatures
ranging from 74 degrees out by the Cabrillo Seamount (slightly off-color water), 71-72 out to 15
miles on the Sea of Cortez (beautiful blue water) and 68-71 on the Pacific with the colder water in
a band out to 15 miles offshore (blue water offshore, greenish close in). (Out On The Weekend)
BAIT: No problem getting bait this week and for those wanting smaller Caballito, there were
plenty available (nice for the Dorado and Yellowtail). The Mackerel were not showing up in the
bait tanks often but there were a few around. The normal $2 per bait. (Harvest)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: I guess the new moon phase worked out for us as the Marlin bite picked up this
week and the fish are closer to home. The action moved down from the Punta Gorda, Gorda
Banks area and the fish are now being found at the 95 spot and just to the southeast of the Cape.
Some of the fish are going to almost #180 and the best bite has been on dark lures (black/green,
black/red, black/blue) or live bait, with lures out catching bait this week for most of the boats.
Fish found on the surface have mostly been sleepers, not tailers. A few Blue Marlin to #400 were
caught this week and as the water continues to warm, there should be more of them hooked up.
(There’s A World)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Fish of the week again, the Yellowfin were out there all week long, but it
was choppy and sloppy water! Ranging from 8 to 25 miles offshore and from outside the Gorda
Banks all the way around to the Golden Gate, fish in the 40-80 pound class were found with the
Dolphin. The bite dropped off, way off, on Saturday as soon as the skies cleared and the wind
died down, but a few boats were still able to get into the fish. As with the Marlin, dark colored
lures seemed to produce the best and swimming plugs such as Marauders were a favorite when
rigged on #150 mono leader with a chaffing thimble. A few fish in the 100-200 pound class were
found as well, but as last week, these were mostly blind strikes on the troll. (Heart Of Gold)
DORADO: The bite has continued to pick up on Dorado as the water warms up, and the fish
seem to be getting bigger every week. A lot of fish in the 35 class were hitting the decks this
week and most of them were found associated with floating objects. A number of kelp paddies
have been found and targeted with the better captains keeping track of their drift in order to find
them the next day. Working the floating debris with live bait produced some very nice catches
this week. Finding a fish on the troll and using a drop-back live bait has also been producing well
as most of these larger fish are traveling in pairs. Lure size has not really been an issue with these
bigger fish as they are hitting the same lures pulled for Striped Marlin and Tuna, but they are also
going for bright colors. (Alabama)
WAHOO: Few Wahoo were encountered this week but there were some. Most of them were
caught around floating debris and a few were found on the edge of the San Jaime Bank. (Words)
INSHORE: The great Yellowtail bite we had been having dropped off mid week and now you
really have to scratch hard to get a fish or two. Live bait has been the trick and the smaller the
better. Roosterfish are beginning to show a bit better on the Sea of Cortez beaches, but no really
large ones yet, most of them have been 5-15 pounds. As the water continues to warm, the bite
should get better and the fish larger. Sierra are still available and the best areas have been off the
Hotel beaches on the Pacific side and between Punta Ballena and the Westin on the Sea of Cortez.
Like last week, anything with a dose of orange on it has worked well. Fly fishing and light
spinning gear is a blast on the Sierra! Bottom fishing was hit or miss this week due to the choppy
water conditions most of the time, but boats fishing early in the day were finding a mixed bag of
Snapper to 15 pounds and smaller Grouper to 5 pounds as well as plenty of Triggerfish. A few
Dorado are still being caught on the Pangas but the larger fish we have been finding have all been
offshore. (Old Man)
NOTES: The fishing continues to improve and the pressure is light. This weekend there were
whales all over the place! What a great sight, almost everywhere we looked on the Sea of Cortez
side you could see a spout or a back or a tail, and most of them were large whales, Humpbacks by
the look of the flukes. If you want to release your Billfish (and remember them by a picture), be
sure to tell your Captain that a Marlin killed that could have been released means no tip for them,
that seems to get their attention. There is no need to kill the fish in order to have a mount done!
This weeks report was written to the music of Neil Young on the classic 1972 Warner release
“Harvest”.
Until next week, best wishes and tight lines!
