Looking for the Excalibur (Bill Dance signature series) Fat Free Fry in Crawfish. The lure is 2' long and the body is practicly see thru (with the exception for where the crawfish design and color has been airbrushed) I would like to purchase as many as you have. I will take old, new, it doesn't matter. This is all my boyfriend fishes with and he is almost out of these.
Thanks

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT SEPTEMBER 6-12, 2004
WEATHER: We had partly cloudy skies this week but no rain. Sometimes it felt as though we had been rained on as the air was very humid. Our day time highs were in the high 90’s while the night time lows averaged 80 degrees.
WATER: At the end of the week you could see the warmer water on the charts up around Punta Gorda, the dark brown color indicated water temps around 89-90 degrees, way too warm for most fish. Water from 88 to 86 degrees came to us from that area and wrapped just around the Cape out to a distance of 15 miles then it dropped to a much better 85 degrees. On the Pacific side water temperatures in the 86 degrees area were at the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Banks and extended just past them to the west and all the way east to the shore line.
BAIT: No change in bait availability this week, the normal summer Caballito at $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Billfish bite still has not picked up, but this time of year the Striped Marlin bite drops off anyway as the water warms up. The Blues and Blacks are not here in any concentration but boats are getting shots every day at some kind of Billfish, at least on the average. There have been Blue Marlin found on both the Pacific side and on the Cortez side but they seem to bite better on the Pacific side where the water temperatures stay in the 85-86 degree range. The Blue Marlin have ranged between #200 and #600, a few Blacks brought in have been between #200 and #400 and most of the Stripers have been around #100. Quite a few Sailfish have been caught on the Pacific side as well, most of them being found within 5 miles of the coast between the lighthouse and toward the Golden Gate Bank. They have been between 50 and 110 pounds.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Almost all the Yellowfin found this week were in the football category and most of them were found on the Pacific side within 5 miles of shore. No Porpoise were around as indicators, the fish were found on blind strikes. Cedar plugs and small feathers were good for getting anywhere between 2 to 10 fish in the boat. Quite a few small Bonita were mixed in with the schools of Yellowfin and these indicators had a lot of boats working the areas for Marlin as well.
DORADO: Most of the boats returning from the Pacific side of the Cape were flying Dorado flags on their return and quite a few of the fish were found by watching for diving Frigate Birds then tossing live bait under them or slow trolling live bait in the area. There were anchoring floats out on the Golden Gate Banks that held some Dorado as well and the first or last boats to work them were almost always able to get a few fish in the boat. Most of the Dorado were between 12 and 20 pounds with a few fish in the 40 pound range.
WAHOO: I only saw a few Wahoo flags this week and those fish were an incidental catch, there was no rhyme or reason, just blind strikes in open water.
INSHORE: Lot’s of Skipjack and Bonita with a few Dorado in the mix accounted for most of the inshore action this week. A few boats were bottom fishing and reported fair catches of Snapper, Grouper and Amberjack.
NOTES: The heat and humidity are nice, but in moderation please! I am sure my electric bill is going to be high as we have been using the air conditioner almost every night in order to sleep. Hopefully we will have no more bad weather this season, I am knocking on wood after typing this! We are keeping an eye on Hurricane Javier, hoping it continues to be influenced towards the west. This weeks report was written to the sounds of singer Nora Roberts. My father copied a CD of hers and sent it to me, I am not sure of the year, title or company. Great mellow music! Until next week, tight lines!
