CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR FEBRUARY 18-23, 2003
WEATHER: Highs in the high 80’s and lows in the high 50’s gave us a very comfortable range
this week. No rain but we did have some very windy days during the middle of the week as the
wind switched from the northwest to west, then south and east. On Saturday it had settled down
a bit and by Sunday things were back to normal. There was a little cloud cover but for the most
part it was nice and sunny! (Illustrated Man)
WATER: Due to the high winds the water on the Pacific side was very rough this week and few
boats ventured in that direction. Seas at 4-6 feet and larger, along with lots of whitecaps made it
a bad trip. Even straight south it was bumpy and most of the boats worked south then up the
Cortez towards Punto Gordo. This gave them a following sea and a semi-protected ride back
home. In the middle of the week the water immediately surrounding the Cape was very cold,
most of it within 5 miles was in the 67-68 degree range, but it warmed back up at the end of the
week, and the water calmed down and became smooth again as well. Towards the 1150 spot and
Gorda Banks the water warmed to 74 degrees and seemed to hold more fish. (Barefootin’”)
BAIT: Almost all Mackerel this week at the normal $2 per bait. Sardinas were available at $25 a
small scoop. (Life Is Hard)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Lots of Marlin at the end of the week and most of the Stripers were up off the Gorda
Banks. Boats were working the area from Palmilla to La Laguna out about 15 miles and finding
plenty of fish. Not everyone caught, of course, but there were many boats flying three or more
flags coming in. Earlier in the week the Marlin were a little scarcer but there were still fish
caught. Most of these Marlin were in the 110 pound range and caught on live bait. A few fish
were caught on lures and the favorite colors were the normal Green/Black, Bleeding Dorado and
Bleeding Mackerel. (Hey You)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Plenty of school size fish and footballs during the middle of the week as the
winds howled through but the bite dropped off at the weekend. Most of the large fish we saw last
week were gone as almost every Bank held a purse seiner or two, waiting for the sport boats to
leave so they could set their nets. The football and school fish were found fairly close to shore,
most within five miles, and all on the Cortez side. Cedar plugs worked wonders as did small
feathers in dark colors. (Blue Mood)
DORADO: Same story as the Yellowfin Tuna, mid week was great and the bite dropped off at
the weekend. The fish were found close to shore while the wind was blowing so strongly, but
they scattered as it let up. Quite a few of the fish were nice size, most of them 15-25 pounds.
Slow trolled live bait worked very well as did small, bright colored lures. (Sugaree)
WAHOO: What are they? (Medicine Man)
INSHORE: Blown out for most of the week, there were some scattered Sierra, Yellowfin and
Dorado caught by the few Pangas that did venture forth. All the fishing was done on the Cortez
side of the Cape. (You’re Humbuggin’ Me)
NOTES: I was informed that most of the whales have been observed further u[ the Pacific than
the Cape and some of them are already returning to the North, following the food and water
temperature. We are still seeing a few in the area. The wind blew in green water on the Pacific,
we are hoping it stays there and does not wrap around. This weeks report written the amazing
gblues guitar sounds of Johnney Winter on the 1991 Virgin Records release “Let Me In”. Tight
lines till next week!
