CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT APRIL 21-27, 2003
WEATHER: Partly overcast most of the week with an occasional clear day (at least for a few
hours!). Daytime highs in the high 80’s and nighttime lows in the high 60’s. Calm mornings with
the wind from the northwest starting around noon every day and blowing at 10-15 knots until 3-4
AM. (Blue Yodel)
WATER: The Northwest winds this week changed the conditions on the Pacific side. While
still very fishable, the water is a bit rougher than last week and could be uncomfortable at times.
The Sea of Cortez remained very comfortable with very small swells and light chop in the
morning but when the winds picked up so did the chop, making for an uncomfortable ride back
for some boats. Water temperatures have been 69-71 on the Pacific side and 73-75 on the Sea of
Cortez side of the Cape. There have been no really defined temperature breaks this week.
(Mississippi Delta Blues)
BAIT: Caballito was available this week at $2 per bait. (Train Whistle Blues)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin are still close to us and the bite has picked up on them, as well
as on the Sailfish. They seem to be moving in our direction from the north on the Sea of Cortez
and are beginning to show up on the Pacific side now. The bite to fish seen ratio is still low,
perhaps 20%, but it is improving daily as we go into the new moon phase. The bite has been an
even mix of live bait and lures (dark colors or bleeding mackerel). No further word on Swordfish
sightings but there have been several nice Blue Marlin appear in some boats lure spreads. (Blue
Yodel #9)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Yellowfin Tuna continue their reign as fish of the week and if this
continues they may end up fish of the year! The bite has been close to home, both in the blind and
with Porpoise. most of the fish have been found less than 12 miles out and sizes have ranged
from 12 to 45 pounds with an occasional fish to 70 pounds. Feathers, cedar plugs and Marauders
have been working well. many of the larger fish have been caught on live bait tossed back after
getting a double or triple hookup on the troll. Both side of the Cape have produced this week
but the fish seem to be shifting a bit towards the Pacific side. (Blue Yodel #8)
DORADO: The Dorado bit picked up this week and it was not uncommon for boats to be
getting three or four nice fish on a trip. The average size has been around 20-25 pounds but there
have been plenty of fish in the 40-45 pound class as well. With an initial hookup on lures, a live
bait dropped back has worked well for an additional fish. Slow trolling live bait off of the points
or around the Porpoise schools has also been a good way to get hooked up. (My Good Gal’s
Gone Blues)
WAHOO: We had a few really good days this week and pretty close to home as well! Just off of
Gray Rock and around the 95 Spot boats were betting bit off on lures with mono leaders but still
getting 25% of the strikes. Some boats were getting two or three Wahoo a trip and they were
good sized fish, most of them 40-60 pounds. Sure wish it was a predictable bite! (Travellin’
Blues)
INSHORE: I saw some nice catches of Sierra this week and heard that there were some smaller
Roosterfish caught on the Pacific side as well. A good sign for the Roosterfish is the appearance
of Mullet in the Marina. Other inshore species have been scattered this week. An occasional
bottom fishing expedition has brought in the usual Triggerfish, small Snapper and Grouper and
there were reports of a good bite on small Yellowtail at the arch on the early morning tide change
for anglers using small Caballito as bait. (Jimmie’s Mean Mama Blues)
NOTES: The fishing has been great this week for most of the boats, but as always, it involves
being in the right place at the right time. Very few boats returned from a trip without getting fish
and for those in the right place at the right time, it was wonderful! The town is starting to get
busy again and bookings for all the charter boats are starting to pick up as well. This weeks
report was written to the music of the master of country blues, Jimmy Rodgers on the 2002 RCA
compilation “Country Legends, Jimmy Rodgers”. Until next week, Tight Lines! Yodel on!
