CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT JANUARY 10-16, 2005
WEATHER: It’s been cold enough in the mornings and evenings that a sweater has been needed, at least by those of us with thin blood. I guess that if it has been -10 degrees where you are at the 60 degrees we have here in the evenings may feel tropical, but not to us! Our night time lows have been down to the mid 50’s and our day time highs in the high 70’s. Partly cloudy most of the wee and on Wednesday we had pretty strong winds from the northwest but they died down on Thursday. No rain this week, but that is no surprise.
WATER: There was no big change in water temperatures this week with the exception of a cold upwelling right at the Cape that worked its way up the coast on the Cortez side. This water was 68-70 degrees and only extended about ½ mile off shore. The water within 20 miles of the coast on both sides of the Cape was pretty steady at 73-74 degrees this week while farther out the temperature dropped to the 70-71 degree range. There was a fairly sharp edge running across the San Jaime and the Golden Gate banks at the end of the week. There was a circulation of warm water to 76 degrees just past that 20 mile distance on the Cortez side of the Cape. On the Pacific side, the warm water band close to shore ran all the way up to Todo Santos.
BAIT: This week the bait was a mix of Caballito and Mackerel. They have been the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Tuesday was a banner day for Striped Marlin as the fish were packed up and close to home. The area to be was within 8 miles of shore just off the arch to the lighthouse, and they were feeding heavily. Most boats that worked the area were able to get at least several fish hooked up and almost everyone came in flying at least two Marlin flags. The most I heard of on one boat was 8 Striped Marlin released that day, and they were biting anything offered, even dead bait on a drop back. That night the wind kicked up and by the morning the fish had scattered. The bite from Wednesday on was not as good with the fish scattered all over the place, but there were still pockets of fish popping up here and there feeding hard. Watching for the Frigate birds stooping on flying fish was the key to getting on the feeders before they went down, and once the fish were found it was often a race between boats to be the first on to the spot and to toss the bait.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: This week’s action on Yellowfin Tuna is a repeat of last weeks with the exception of the Jaime Banks area. One of the long range boats out of San Diego has been working the area for a while and they have gotten several big Tuna, some of them over #300. A few of the local boats have been lucky to be there at the right time and have hooked up on nice fish as well. One Captain relayed to me a story of hooking up to one he swears would go over #400 and having the hook pull just as the leader was taken in hand. There were fish in the 35-45 pound class found between 30 and 40 miles to the west during the middle of the week, but they were moving around a lot. A few fish were found up around and just to the north of the Golden Gate Banks as well. The best baits for the Tuna this week were feathers in dark colors if you were trolling and Sardinas and Chiwillies if you were live baiting.
DORADO: Dorado action continues to be slow with the cooler water we have now, but there are still a few around. I don’t think I would be targeting any of them from now on, at least not if I wanted to catch one bigger than 10 pounds. There are still small fish found close to shore and a few larger ones off shore, but they have almost all been incidental catch.
WAHOO: A few fish have been turning up every day but they have been incidental catches. The bite that we had last week for a few days died off quickly as the fish passed through. There may still be a decent bit at the banks but I have not heard of it.
INSHORE: The Sierra action continued this week with the fish moving i9n closer to home. Up around the light house and Margarita there was good action just outside the breakers on fish to 6 pounds. A few boats that concentrated on them were able to fill fish boxes with these ceviche favorites. Other near shore fish were scattered and we are waiting for the Yellowtail to show up. Scattered Jacks and Needlefish as well as some Pompano round out the surface action and there have been some decent Snapper and grouper caught in the hours before and after high tide.
NOTES: For this week’s music I went back to the Pink Floyd “Echoes-Best of Pink Floyd” album2001, EMI. I grew up on the music and can’t get enough! Mary bought me golf lessons for Christmas; I had my first one a couple of days ago. Jack Gibson is a terrific teacher and has gotten rid of my slice already, this morning I will have to see if it helps on the course! The Whales are still here and the fishing is good. See you next week! Tight lines!
