Short on reports lately but definately fishing. This past Saturday we had the Lee Withers gang down for some rig fishing. We managed to pull out 20 red snappers most of them about 10lbs. with the exception of 4 or 5 around the 18lb. mark. But that was it. No other rig fish were caught. Red Snappes only. Sunday we opted to go west because of the strong southeast wind with the Howard Mabry group. They also wanted to fish the rigs but it was one of the slowest days I have seen in a while. We only caught a handful of fish in somewhat nasty conditions. Yesterday we took out Todd Oliver and crew from Jackson Miss. After some radar watching and weather figuring we left the dock hoping that the weather off of our coast yesterday morning wouldn't mess up the condition to bad. Well, right out the pass it was a steep 4ft. but nothing we couldn't handle. Once we hit blue water it laid down nicely and the rest of the day turned out to be beautiful. First stop of the day was for tuna, but none were to be had. We had the perfect live bait, which was very easy to catch, perfect water conditions, a few small ones busting around us, but we couldn't get one in the boat. Left there and headed south to find a neverending perfect rip. We trolled the rip for most of the day which resulted in 6 Dolphin. 1 big bull, a couple of near bulls, and some cows. Plenty of dolphin on the rip but most were on the smaller size. We din't really see much activity on the surface other than dolphin. Headed back out tomorrow to the rip. Looks like the weather is turning very bad this weekend, first time in a while. Will report tomorrow. Check out the pics. www.superstrikecharters.com

Jun 6, 2005; 04:48PM - Blue Marlin Best in Years!
|

Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
The 80° plus blue water is still just a mile or so off the beach. The outstanding fishing for the blue marlin has made this run one of the absolute best in years. We are boating between 18 and 20 blues or blacks a week. These are very good odds for catching a marlin, because we are not considering the numerous missed opportunities, and all of this is from only a fleet of about 10 boats a day hitting the water. This last Tuesday, the fleet boated 5 marlin. Remember, these are not those dinky striped marlin you read about in Baja. Stripers are not much larger than a sailfish. These blues and blacks are averaging about 250 pounds, with several hitting the 500 pound mark.
Besides releasing 5 sailfish on Thursday for Texas clients Jeff and Wayne Bair, Captain Santiago on the panga Gitana, also had a blue marlin on Wednesday. Clients Sonny and Magi Stolsig of Seattle got the blue marlin on sailfish gear while trolling a cut bait. They fought the 330 pound blue for a little over two hours on the 50 pound gear. After a spectacular series of greyhounding leaps, the marlin sounded and died. It took Santiago another 45 minutes of hand lining to get the fish to the boat.
I fly fished with Mike Poor and Ralph Logan of Lubbock, Texas. After raising a double on sails, but only teasing one to the boat, the sailfish was so aggressive, Mike had the opportunities and missed twice with the fly. Bad habits developed from trout fishing, by setting the hook with the rod tip, just do not work here on salt water big game. You must set the hook with a hard strip of the line. After the third attempt, the fish lost interest, so I pinned an 8' live goggle eye on a circle hook, made the cast and passed the rod to Ralph. A few minutes later, we tagged and released Ralph's first ever sailfish

East Cape
Off to the races? Everybody is still standing in the starting gate waiting for the door to fly open! The weather is cool and comfortable; unfortunately the water is also cooler than usual and seems to be influencing everything. Basically, inshore and offshore the bite has its moments with some boats coming in with multiple flags while most have few if any. Plenty of billfish are being seen but few bites, the theory being they are plumb full of squid. Tuna are racing around and if you get lucky and bump in to them your rod will get bent for sure. If you think I am kidding, a few boats ran as far as 50 miles for a bunch of footballs while some guys fishing from the beach at the lighthouse got spooled a lot and still landed two yellowfin from the beach that weigh 40 . Only at East Cape! Speaking of the beach, that has been the best bet all week for our clients. Every client caught at least one rooster from the beach and one had four, plus two jacks. Most of them were in the low teens while several Bubbas demonstrated how they got so big. Putting in the time on the beach has definitely paid off. Who needs those stinking ATVs? We are headed up to Magdalena Bay to pick a fight with Mr. Snook – more on that next week. If you have a hankering for a rooster on the fly and aren’t here you are in the wrong place!

Still some wind to contend with this week that kept most of the anglers close to the beach. The corvina bite lit up at Lopez Mateos with double digit catches the norm. A few snook hooked and lost after they scurried back into the mangrove stumps. A few snapper were caught at Devil’s Curve. Offshore, the tuna seemed to be in the 20 mile range and outside of Lopez Mateos the dorado continued put on a show only a few miles from shore. Everybody is just waiting for the water to warm up a few degrees and the exotics should kick in nicely. We will be fishing with clients for the next few days out of Lopez Mateos and will have a first hand report next week.

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MAY 30-JUNE 5, 2005
WEATHER: Wind, wind and more wind. That pretty much summed it up for us this week on the weather front as every day the wind blew from the NNW to the SSW at between 10 and 20 knots. We did have a few mornings when it seemed that it had died off, but when you poked your nose around the corner to try the Pacific side, you go smacked in the face with the cold wind. Some mornings on the Pacific side the temperature was in the high 50’s. In town our daytime highs were in the mid to high 80’s while our night time lows were around 60 degrees. No rain at all but we did have partly cloudy skies on Sunday morning.
WATER: On the Pacific side this week we had very cold water, at places it was as cold as 58 degrees right along the shore. Out around the Golden Gate and San Jaime Banks the water warmed to 67 degrees. Due south of the cape the water was cold at 66 degrees until 14 miles out then it warmed to 68 degrees. On the Cortez side of the cape we had a band of warmer 72 to 76 degree water along the shore up to the Punta Gorda area, and this band extended from just along the beach here in Cabo to across the outer Gorda Banks and the Punta Gorda region. Outside the band of warmer water the temps dropped to 64-65 degrees and went out at least 20 miles. There was no really well defined temperature break as the wind and currents moved the water around, blending the temperatures and the colors. We had strongly colored green water to the south and on the Pacific side.
BAIT: Back to getting Mackerel at the usual $2 per bait and there were some Sardinas early in the week at San Jose for $20 a bucket.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Just as the report stated last week, the bite for Striped Marlin has died off since the water cooled off so much. The few fish that were caught this week were mostly from the warm water areas up around Punta Gorda. There were a few fish found outside to the south in the slightly warmer water 14 miles out, but they were few and far between, and the water was rough as well. There were Swordfish found again this week and I did hear of a private boat that got two of them on Friday.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Scattered football size Yellowfin to 15 pounds and a few fish in the 25-30 pound class were pretty much it for the boats this week. The fish were not concentrated in any one particular area and a lot of them were caught while trolling in the blind. Finding porpoise did not mean you were going to get into the Tuna this week, there were a lot of pods of porpoise that were fishless.
DORADO: Just like last week. I think I saw a total of 10 Dorado flags this week, and that should say it all. Wait for warmer water.
WAHOO: I saw a few Wahoo flags this week but I am not sure they were for fish caught this week or not. I did not hear of any fish caught; just saw a few flags flying on the boats.
INSHORE: Rough water on the Pacific side of the Cape made most of the boats concentrate on the area from the lighthouse and around to the arch, plus along the beach on the Cortez side of the Cape. There were still Sierra being caught and some of them were very nice sized, from 6-10 pounds. One positive note was that the cold water brought the Yellowtail with it. The bite turned on fairly well in the middle of the week with fish being found from the lighthouse to Gray Rock. Live bait dropped deep and iron worked deep caught the most fish, but trolling plugs along the coast in 60-100 feet of water worked well also. There were Roosterfish caught on the Cortez side, fish to 40 pounds were reported both from Pangas and from the beach. Red Snapper were biting as well if you could get a live bait right into the rocks and not get snagged.
NOTES: Once again Swordfish have the angler’s attention. I expect a few more fish to be caught this week before the water warms and turns blue again. Meanwhile the off shore action is pretty sorry; the only bright spot this week was the inshore fishery with Yellowtail and Snapper taking the spotlight. It sure is strange to have April conditions at the beginning of June! Or fingers are again crossed (seems like we never get them uncrossed for one reason or another) that the water warms up and brings along the Tuna, Wahoo, Dorado and Marlin! This weeks report was written to the music of Deep Purple on their 1972 release “Machine Head”. Until next week, Tight Lines!

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MAY 23-29, 2005
WEATHER: Afternoon winds here in town gave everyone a good idea of what to expect out on the water this week. The wind was from the NW and fairly steady most of the week, shifting to come from the South or SW in the late afternoons. A steady 10-15 knots most of the time. The skies were only partly cloudy for most of the week and we had no rain. Our day time highs were in the low 90’s and high 80’s and the night time lows were in the mid 60’s here in town.
WATER: This week the conditions are just the same as last week with the exception that the intrusion of cold water we had wrapping around the Cape due to the California current was much stronger, colder and with green water. This finger ran from the Cape and up the Sea of Cortez from a half mile to mile offshore to just outside the 95 and 1150 spots. With temperatures in the 65 and 66 degree range this finger extended up to five miles past the outer Gorda Banks. There was a temperature break of almost 5 degrees just along the outside edge of the finger of water and it ran from the NE to the SW. We did have the continued NW winds causing very rough conditions on the Pacific side of the Cape, so rough that few, if any, boats tried to fish past the lighthouse. On the Cortez side the conditions were much better if you got past the Chileno area; the way the winds blew it was still lumpy to the southeast of the cape. Up in the Punta Gorda and Gorda Banks area it was a bit choppier than last week. Having the water between 63 and 67 degrees on the Pacific side was not a problem since the conditions were so rough.
BAIT: Back to getting Mackerel at the usual $2 per bait and there were some Sardinas early in the week at San Jose for $20 a bucket.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The cold water intrusion from the Pacific side of the Cape pushed the Striped Marlin that had been concentrated at Punta Gorda farther up the coast to the Los Frailles area, an easy 40 mile run, easy that is until you turned and came back against the wind and chop! There were also Marlin found on the warm side of the temperature break at the outside of the cold finger of water. Boats fishing the Frailles area reported a fair early morning bite with two to three fish per day as long as they were there before 10 am. There was almost no action after that. The bite outside the finger of cold green water was a bit more consistent even though not as many fish were seen in the area. Almost everyone fishing in this area had at least one shot at a hook up. On the way to the temperature break you went through the green water and there were Swordfish sighted there, I found one on the surface yesterday just to the south of the 95 spot, but I have not heard of any boats hooking up to them, although I am sure some have.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Tuna that were holding at the Gorda Banks last week seem to have either gone off the bite or gone somewhere else. A few are still being caught but not enough to make the trip worthwhile just for them. There have been small football Yellowfin everywhere along the temperature break on the Cortez side and I have heard guys on the radio discussing finding Tuna in the cold green water on the Pacific side early in the morning. A lot of these fish were blind strikes, no porpoise in the area. Cedar plugs worked great and once you got a strike and hooked up you worked the area for a while. It was not uncommon to get multiple hits each pass on the fish.
DORADO: I think I saw a total of 10 Dorado flags this week, and that should say it all. Wait for warmer water.
WAHOO: There are still Wahoo out there but they are not holding around the usual structure. Fish are being found off the 50 fathom drop at Red Hill and at Punta Gorda, as well as along the temperature break outside the 95 spot. While fishing there yesterday (and getting beat up in the 50’ Viking) we had a double strike on nice fish, losing one lure and landing a Wahoo of about 70 pounds. Making another pass on the spot we hooked up two Bonita and had one of the 8 pound fish sliced cleanly in half by a Wahoo we estimated at over #100 just before trying to lift the Bonita out of the water. An hour later and four miles away we had another Wahoo hooked as part of a double strike. We lost the Wahoo just before the boat but brought in the 10 pound Yellowfin that struck at the same time.
INSHORE: A few boats were able to work along the shoreline on the Pacific side up as far as the lighthouse, but the water was rough. There were Sierra and some Yellowtail in the area that provided some action. The Cortez side had better water conditions early in the morning most days and there were Snapper, Grouper and a few Sierra as well.
NOTES: Swordfish have everyone’s attention this week and hopefully the winds will die down and allow better sighting of the fish. I wouldn’t mind a night on the water drifting baits for them either! If the winds do die we should have some great action for the coming week, with such a defined temperature break there should be steady action all along the edge. This weeks report was written to the music of Rick Wakeman on his very relaxing 2002 Master Music CD “The Natural World Trilogy”. Until next week, tight lines!

The weather is cooler then normal for this time of year, but Spring seems to have finally arrived. Offshore, there are plenty of billfish to look at; the trick is to get them to bite. If you want football-size tuna they are way outside (45 miles). Inshore action began to improve; Bubba has arrived, still as finicky as ever. Spa reported one in the 50-pound class and our clients are getting a few shots a day from the beach. We are seeing an increase in dorado, but we are still waiting for the hot bite to begin. All-in-all things are looking up as we get ready for a hot June.

Giant squid and scallops seem to be on everybody's mind this week. However, with a little digging I did find out that there are a few dorado off the beach outside of Lopez Mateos. Corvina and pargo seemed to be the catch of the day in the esteros. Up at Devil’s Curve there were a few snook that got the better of our clients. They were headed back out today to give them another chance.

The 80° blue water is only 3 to 4 miles off the beach. The full moon period has slowed the sailfish catch a bit, with only a 1 to 2 fish a day average per boat. But, what we lack in quantity is more than made up in quality. We are recording some great catches of blue marlin and large yellowfin tuna.
The fleet is putting out an average of about 15 boats a day on the water. At least a third of those are fishing inshore, but we are averaging two blue marlin each day (caught). That does not count the thrown hooks, or the stories told by all of the broken lines or spooled reels. The average blue is weighing in at about 250-pounds. A few of the blue marlin, like one by Luis on the panga Gringo Loco, are hitting the 500-pound mark, and several others are in the 130- to 180-pound range. These smaller fish are ideal for a person to accomplish his goal for a blue marlin on the fly rod.
Ed Garvis, of Anaheim, Calif., fishing with Arturo on the panga Whisky III, took a 300-pound tuna. The schools are breezing in and out and when you find a feeding school of tuna, they are going to be big. Several of the commercial pangeros have boated tuna in the 150- to 250-pound class this week. As with the marlin and sailfish, almost all the action is only about 8 to 10 miles offshore.
Both of the Dos Hermanos boats have been fishing the inshore this week. Cheva and Adolpho told me this morning (Sat.) they have really been doing well on the big jack crevalle and roosterfish. Between the two boats, they are averaging about 14 of the jacks and 8 roosters each day. The timing is about right; because we normally see the big roosters arrive in volume by the 1st of June

The full moon slowed down the SAILFISH activity offshore but spurred on a very good Marlin bite last week in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo. Unfortunately, most of the battles were won by the Marlin but some anglers were successful in landing the large fish. The full moon also bright a high tide which impacted the ability of our captain to successfully fish the inshore waters for Roosterfish and Jacks. Mr Lewis Mcray's Group from Cabelas Outdoor Adventure's fishing aboard the Tarpon landed 2 Blue Marlin to 250 Lbs. and 2 Sailfish. The group also chartered the Grand Jefe landing 1 Yellowfin Tuna, loosing another Tuna and Landing 1 SAILFISH in three days of offshore fishing. Angler Irnee Dhaenens fishing 2 days aboard the Marlin Azul hooked and lost 2 Blue Malrin last week.
