CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT APRIL 18-24, 2005
WEATHER: It is the time of year when we have varied winds, sometimes from the east, sometimes the west and sometimes no wind at all. It seemed this week that we had a little bit of everything and there was no predicting from which direction it might blow, if it did. The majority of the time it was from the north or west so there was always nice water on the Sea of Cortez side. Our daytime highs have been rising and at the end of the week we were seeing the low 90’s during the middle of the day. We had a little rise in the humidity as well. The evening lows were in the mid 60’s.
WATER: Water temps on the Pacific side were varied depending on where you were at the end of the week. We had cool water up around the Jaime and Golden Gate Banks, mostly in the 67-68 degree range and a finger of cool water directly to the south of us as well. The warmer water was on the Cortez side of the Cape with water ranging from 72 to 78 degrees. There were few sharp temperature boundaries; the change was spread over a fairly large area for the most part with the exception of directly to the south where there was a distinct break of 4 degrees early in the week. Water conditions were good almost all week long but it was just a bit uncomfortable on the Pacific side early in the week. For most of the week conditions on the Sea of Cortez were nice, more like being on a lake.
BAIT: There were Caballito available at the normal $2 per bait and if you went up toward San Jose early in the morning there was a chance of getting Sardinas at $20 per bucket.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Once again Striped Marlin took first place as the fish of the week. Much like the action several months ago, we had a large group of fish move into the area and while they started out close to home, the main concentration of them was up around the Gorda Banks and Punta Gorda. From just off the beach to 6 miles out early in the week, the bite was on with lots of Marlin being seen and quite a few being hooked up. There has been a lot of squid in the area so lures in the petrelero color were particularly effective, as was dead bait. As the week progressed the main concentration was found a bit farther north and then the action went almost wide open. Most of the boats going the distance returned with up to six flags flying and almost everyone was able to catch and release two or three. I fished off of the 1150 last Sunday, just before this reporting period and went 4 for 5 on Marlin while on a Tuna hunt. I went again on Wednesday and brought up over 2 dozen fish, with 15 of them into the lures while working 4 miles to the southeast of the Outer Gorda. Great fishing this week!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: At the end of the week there were some football Tuna found, after a long absence. Most of the fish were to the south of the Cape, and around the area to the south of the San Jaime. Spotting the Porpoise was the key, as usual, and the catch ranged from one to 8 fish per boat, with the fish mostly in the 10-20 pound class. Small feather in dark colors and small dark hootchies worked best on these fish.
DORADO: Some Dorado were found this week but strangely enough, they were found mixed in with the football Tuna. Almost every boat that returned with a Tuna flag had Dorado as well, and the fish were between 10 and 15 pounds.
WAHOO: I didn’t see a Wahoo this week but did see a few flags flying. With the concentration of Marlin close to shore and around the Gorda Banks that comes as no surprise; the surprise is that there were not more of them caught.
INSHORE: There was no change in the inshore report this week; it was a repeat of last week’s action. The Sierra action moved back to the Pacific side of the Cape this week but it was not easy, most of the Pangas were scratching to get a half dozen of the good eating fish in the boat. There was action on Jack Crevalle and small Roosterfish as well as some decent Pargo, but no wide open bite on any one species. With the Marlin moving in close to the beach at the end of the week, many of the Pangs were focusing on them.
NOTES: The water is warming up and the fishing is improving as it happens. We are returning to summertime weather and hopefully summertime fishing as well! This weeks report was written to the blues music of the Carvin Jones Band from the 2000 CD “I Walked All Night Long”. Thank you Charlie! Until next week, Tight Lines!
