Cabo Fish Report
March 27-April 2, 2006
WEATHER: Just the usual this past week, mostly sunny skies with the daytime highs in the mid 80’s and the nighttime lows in the mid 60’s. No rain of course and light winds.
WATER: At the end of the week everything had cooled off considerably on both sides of the Cape. On the Pacific the warmest water was on the San Jaime Bank at 69 degrees, but with blue water. The rest of the Pacific side had water around 65-67 degrees but it was off color, pretty green in some places. On the Cortez side the warm water was out at the 1150 spot and in front of San Jose, but it was being slowly pushed to the north every day. Warm at 73-75 degrees, it was also pretty green and off color. Not until you got out by the Cabrillo Seamount did it clear up. The water right in front of the cape was also off color and a fairly cool 66-70 degrees, depending on exactly where you were. The surface conditions were good at the end of the week but we did have one day of rough stuff during the middle of the week when things kicked up a bit with a day of strong wind from the west.
BAIT: This past week there were Caballito available at the usual $2 per bait as well as some Sardinas at $20 a scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: There are still plenty of Striped Marlin in the area and most of the fish have been seen on the Cortez side, continuing the pattern of last week. The bite was pretty good at the beginning of the week but dropped off later on, even though plenty of fish were still being seen. I fished with a couple of friends on Tuesday and we had one good bite lost on a lure, one lost on a live bait dropped back and two releases on rigged dead bait. That seemed to be pretty standard early in the week but things slowed down later on. The fish have been stuffed with squid which they have been tossing up when brought close to the boat so darker colored lures have been having better luck. Having the squid around might also be the reason there have still been sightings, and occasional hook-ups with Swordfish this past week. A friend hooked, fought and lost at boat side an estimated #250 on Monday, the fish eating a dead bait pulled in front of it.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: There were very few Yellowfin heard of this past week and the few that were caught were reported to be in the football class. These fish were from up around the Punta Gorda area and were caught while chumming and fishing with Sardinas. Boats heading out to the San Jaime area looking for Tuna reported few Porpoise in the area but there have to be fish there since two Purse Seiners have been hanging around all week.
DORADO: A few fish are being caught, and they are getting a little larger, mostly in the 20-25 pound class, but not in any numbers here. I heard of good reports from 40 miles out up at the East Cape area, but it was also reported that the fish were following a small band of warm water that ended up disappearing close to shore after several days. Locally there have been a few smaller fish still being found with 5 miles of the beach.
WAHOO: A friend of mine (a captain on a private boat) reported that he lost two lures to Wahoo and caught one fish of about 35 pounds from the Inner Gorda Bank early in the week. That was the only fish I heard of but there had to have been others found.
INSHORE: My friend, fly-fishing guide Jeff DeBrown, had clients on Saturday who caught 10 small Roosterfish of 5-6 pounds, 5 Sierra, one Ladyfish, one 20 pound Yellowtail, lost one Pompano and saw lots of #20 Jacks, all within ¼ mile of the arch. The Yellowtail and seven of the Roosterfish were on live bait while the rest were on the fly. I guess that give you an indication of the action, huh? There were also excellent catches of Sierra made from 5 miles up the coast on the Pacific side with hootchies in white working very well on fish to 6 pounds, and live bait doing better on larger fish.
NOTES: Eternal optimism is the name of the game if you are a fisherman so we are once again keeping our fingers crossed that the Tuna start showing up. Meanwhile the usual cool, green water we have this time of year means that there is always a chance at the most difficult of billfish, the Swordfish! This weeks report was written to an excellent musical selection, one of my favorite artists, Mark Knopfler on the soundtrack to the movie “Sailing To Philadelphia”, a 2000 Mercury Records release. Until next week, Tight Lines!
