Cabo Fish Report
Nov. 20-26, 2006
WEATHER: Once again we have had perfect weather here in Cabo. Our daytime highs have been in the low 80’s and our lows in the evenings and early mornings have been in the mid 60’s. We have had only occasional clouds this week and the winds have been very light for the most part. We did have one day, the 21st, when the remnants of Tropical Depression Sergio brought strong southeastern winds and seas of 5-7 feet. On the 22nd the wind was gone and the seas had settled down.
WATER: Our water has remained blue and warm this past week and it looks like it may continue through this next week as well. Everywhere you might have gone within a 30-mile radius the water was a consistent 81-83 degrees. Once you got more than 40 miles to the north on the Pacific side it dropped a bit, down to the 78.5-degree range, but it remained blue. On both sides of the cape swells early in the week were between 3-7 feet as a result of Sergio, but as of the end of the week the swells had dropped to 2-4 feet. On Saturday the wind started to pick up again and by Sunday it was pretty bumpy on the Pacific side, also there was a cool water eddy that was about 78 degrees that moved into the area from the southeast on the Cortez side and lay about 15 miles offshore.
BAIT: Once again there was a pretty even mix of Caballito and Mackerel available at the usual $2 per bait. A lot of boats set out without buying any bait and instead, if they were headed to the Golden Gate Banks they caught their own Mackerel and Mackerel Scad there. I did not hear if there were ay Sardinas available this week.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: While the water temperature and color has remained great for Blue Marlin, there were very few of them caught this week. The billfish of the week was Striped Marlin, and they were there in good numbers if you were in the right place at the right time. The main concentration of Striped Marlin seemed to be at the Golden Gate Bank, probably there because of the large amount of bait in the area. Best results came from dropping live bait down to 100-150 feet, just above the massed Mackerel schools. Most boats were able to get two or three fish released a day while a few boats were able to get into double digits. By the weekend the bite had dropped off a bit, on Saturday there were 45 boats on the bank with the results being a bit disappointing, on Sunday there were only 15 boats and only one hookup in the morning, the bite did improve a bit later in the day with the best result being four fish for one of the boats sticking with it. Elsewhere, there were fish found off of the ledge at the lighthouse and while they were coming up and striking on lures, they were not being real aggressive. There were more Striped Marlin to be found within 2 miles of the coastline on the Pacific side and a few boats were catching and releasing between 2 and 6 fish a day up at the Finger Banks. I received four strikes Sunday at the San Jaime Bank for two releases but they were both small fish, one about 75 pounds and the other maybe 50 pounds. Most of the Striped Marlin caught this week were smaller than 100 pounds, but there were a few exceptions.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Yellowfin bite that had been happening at the Gorda Banks tapered off this week. There were still nice fish being caught, but not in the numbers or in the size categories that had been happening the past few weeks. Scattered pods of dolphin to the south of the Cape had produced fish in the 20-35 pound class for those boats willing to go 30 miles, and there were also the same size fish found to the south of the San Jaime Banks, again among the dolphin. Spreader bars and daisy chains produced the best results while a live mackerel dropped back after the first fish hooked up produced the larger fish, some to 50 pounds.
DORADO: Still the fish of the week! Best results came from the Pacific side with most of the action occurring 25 miles up the coast. Slow trolling live bait or trolling bright colored lures at 8 knots were the best way to induce these fish to strike and watching for following fish to drop a live bait to resulted in many double hook-ups. Most of these fish were in the 15-25 pound class. Farther to the north, the Finger Banks continued to produce good numbers of Dorado in the 30 pound class to boats slow trolling live bait, as well as getting some action on Striped Marlin. A good day on the Finger was between 4-12 fish.
WAHOO: I only saw a few Wahoo flags this week and heard of a few fish caught over the radio. There was no concentration of fish and those that were caught were incidental fish.
INSHORE: There was only scattered inshore action this week with a few early season Sierra, a decent Red Snapper bite and a few Grouper and Amberjack. Most of the Pangas were working off the beach for Dorado and a few of them had really outstanding trips! It’s nice when you can go out and catch a half-dozen Dorado, a few Red Snapper and have a Striped Marlin as well and be back in by noon!
NOTES: Great weather and good fishing, it doesn’t get much better than this! If things change the slow way they have been, we should see the fishing continue to improve for Striped Marlin and Tuna over the coming month with a chance of continued Dorado action. Until next week, Tight Lines!
