CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT JULY 19-25, 2004
WEATHER: The week was mostly cloudy every day and windy as well. That was not a bad thing as it kept us cool, and we did without the air conditioner this week. Our daytime highs were in the mid to high 90’s while our night time lows were in the mid to high 70’s. With all the clouds we thought that there was going to be a bit of rain here, but it looked as if it all dumped up in the mountains.
WATER: The week started with Warm water in the 84 degree range right in front of town, but as the week went on this water disappeared and as of now the warmest we have within 20 miles is 80 degrees. Up the coast on the Cortez side it gets to 85 degrees, up around Punta Gorda, and there are a couple of small spot where it reaches 82 degrees on the Gorda Banks, but other than that almost everything is in the 79-80 degree range. The water is nice and blue though! Surface conditions on the Pacific and offshore on the Cortez side have been a bit choppy in the afternoons as the wind picks up, but it has been fishable.
BAIT: Plenty of Caballito available at the normal $2, some Mullet at the same price and I heard that one of the bait boats had some Sardinas as well, and that they were pretty proud of them.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Last weeks fishing was great for Billfish, but this weeks fishing definitely dropped off. Maybe it is the moon phase (the new moon was the 17th), maybe it is the water (temps dropped), but there were a lot of boats disappointed in the action this week. Of course there are always exceptions, and I did see a few boats come in with two or three Marlin flags flying. The fish that were found were in the warm water and that meant going at least 25 miles out and up on the Cortez side. Live bait worked well on the Striped Marlin that were found, with lures coming in a decidedly second place. Due to the water temps changing, the Blue Marlin were scarce unless you had the time and range to get up around the East Cape.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Footballs and small school fish were the catch this week for most of the boats. The best action was out around the 1150 spot in Porpoise schools and those fish were also the slightly larger ones, with most of the in the 25 pound class. Closer to home there were footballs found while trolling blind and the action could be fairly steady on them if you used small hootchies. Almost all of this action was on the Cortez side of the Cape.
DORADO: This week was almost a repeat of last week as far as action on the Dorado go. There was good fishing to be found not far from shore up around the Westin and Punta Gorda areas. The fish were averaging 15 pounds with a few big ones and a few small ones in there, and the boats that worked it were getting 3-6 fish per trip. Offshore there were larger fish, but fewer of them. Bright colored feathers and small Marlin lures worked well on the Dorado this week (as they do almost every week!).
WAHOO: I saw almost no Wahoo flags this week, and did not talk to anyone who had Wahoo strikes.
INSHORE: Dorado and small Tuna seemed to be the targeted species for the Pangas this week, but there was still some decent inshore action taking place for the boats targeting Roosterfish and Jack Crevalle. Roosterfish were averaging 15 pounds with a few really nice ones in the 30 pound class being caught as well, but there were more Jacks being found than Roosters, and they were a bit bigger on average as well! The bottom fishing was pretty much “pick here, pick there” kind of thing, with a little of everything and not a lot of any one species being caught.
NOTES: The fishing was a lot slower this week than last week, but the weather is starting to clear up so maybe the fishing will get better as well. Thanks to all of you who wrote to me about my music pick last week! I did not realize that so many of you read the notes section! The information I received helped me a lot as I learned that Harlow Wilcox from the album is not the same guy as the announcer from the late 30’s and the “Fibber and Molly McGee” show. Not even related as far as I found out. Plus, the song “Groovy Grubworm” hit number 6 on the Cashbox top 40 in 1969. Thank you to all of you who helped me on this. This weeks report was written to the music of Phillip Glass on the 1986 release “Songs from Liquid Days”. Now you know I have an eclectic taste in music! Until next week, tight lines!
