Tip&Trick Description 1:
When fishing for aggressive or active pike try using shallow running stick bait and retrieve the lure until it is about 10-15 feet away from the boat/pier. Then give it a jerk. The lure will create a bright flash that triggers the pike to bite. This technique works best in clear to mildly clear or stained water. You can try this for bass too. |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT APRIL 7-13, 2003
WEATHER: We had a lot of overcast early in the week, clearing up by the weekend and
actually had a bit of rain on Tuesday. Our daytime highs have been in the high 80’s to low 90’s
and the nighttime lows in the high 60’s. Winds variable, northwest in the afternoon at 6-12 knots
and sometimes from the south or southwest mid day at 5-10 knots (Home Again)
.
WATER: Swells at 3-5 foot on the Pacific side with a light wind ripple in the morning, swells
are spaced far apart and are very comfortable. The water has been chopping up a little in the
afternoons but not with a lot of whitecaps. The Sea of Cortez has been almost flat calm here at
Cabo, and I understand that the wind finally died down up on the East Cape. This has made for
water that is beautiful to fish on. There has been a band of cool 67 degree water along the Pacific
coast out to almost the San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks, but at those spots it has warmed up to
70 and 69 degrees respectively. The Cortez side has been a consistent 72-73 degrees. A 68
degree cool water eddy has pushed up from the south and forms a thumbprint 10 miles off to the
south of Cabo giving us a nice 2-3 degree temperature break close to home. (Tapestry)
BAIT: Our normal Caballito and some Mackerel were available at the usual $2 per bait and there
was no problem finding them in the morning. (Where You Lead)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Striped Marlin appeared closer to home this week with quite a few fish being
spotted and sometimes hooked up as near as 1/4 mile from the arch. Most of the fish have been
1-12 miles out on the Cortez side but many have been sighted at the Jaime Banks as well, in the
warm water there. Just because you see them doesn’t mean that they will bite though, and the
success rate on live bait has been around 20%. That is a higher rate than with artificial though
and also means that if you toss bait to 5 fish there is a pretty good chance of getting one to hook
up. There have been enough of them spotted that everyone has had a chance to toss bait! A few
Blue Marlin were fought this week but I am not sure if any were brought to the boat. Best all
around lures were straight runners in Dark colors, followed by swimming heads. (I Feel The
Earth Move)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: This is the second week in a row that Yellowfin Tuna have been the fish
of the week. There are still lots of them out there and many of them are being found in the
Porpoise, but also a lot are on blind strikes. Most of them this week are smaller fish, from 15
pound footballs to smaller school fish in the 40 pound bracket. The usual Tuna lures, feathers,
cedar plugs and Marauders have worked well. The temperature break at the cool water eddy to
the south and along the east side of the Jaime Banks have been holding the fish this week.
(You’ve Got A Friend)
DORADO: The Dorado have continued to bite this week and they are staying good size with an
average fish being around 25 pounds. There are still not large numbers being found but they are
quality fish. Most of these are being found offshore around structure, in this case meaning the 95
spot and the edges of the banks. Any floating object that has been in the water for a while has
been holding fish as well. No specific lure was better this week but live bait was a sure bet when
you found the Dorado (Beautiful)
WAHOO: Like last week, there were Wahoo caught but not in large numbers. A large number
of boats reported strikes from the razor gang but most of them shook loose or cut through mono
leader. These were incidental fish and were not associated with anything in particular. (So Far
Away)
INSHORE: The Yellowtail are still out there, but just as last week, you have to scratch to get
fish. Again, live bait has been the ticket and this week the fish appeared to have moved from the
arch to off of the beach in Cabo Bay, just out from the bars and restaurants. Sierra are still
available and have started to slacken off as the water warms up, but that has also meant that the
bite on Roosterfish is picking up. The Roosters are still on the small side at less than 10 pound
average, but they should start getting bigger soon. Bottom fishing for Amberjack, Snapper and
Grouper has been fair with most of the fish in the 3-6 pound range, caught on cut bait such as
squid and Skipjack Tuna. (Smackwater Jack)
NOTES: The Humpback Whales continue to make a showing as they move through our area and
there were two long-range boats out of San Diego here this week on Whale Watching
expeditions. This is the beginning of Easter week here in Cabo and the town is starting to fill up.
There are lot’s of Mexicans from the mainland over here for the holiday and it is nice to see the
town filling up. This weeks report was written to the music of Carole King on the EK release
“Tapestry”. Until next week, Tight Lines!
