Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques
|
|
Category: California Freshwater Lakes
|

Author Name: webmaster

Tip&Trick Description 1:
My first time fishing Lake Cachuma was this last weekend April 27th 2002 and I will let you in on a secret this is a fine lake with great staff excellent fishing and abundant campsites. I was very impressed with the guys at the marina ( Jim and Allen) for giving us great tips for fishing their lake without holding back any information necessary for a first timer to their lake. Right out of the marina he told me to troll straight thru the center of the lake and we would be sure to get bit and he was right. Less than 10 minutes from the launch ramp right where he suggested we caught the first fish a nice largemouth bass about 3-4 lbs and lost the first hook up as we were surprised to get a strike so soon. This fish jumped clear out of the water and fought like a much larger fish than it actually ended up being. |
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
We released the bass and continued anxious to get to the trout which is what we were after. On the way to the next spot Jim and Allen had given us directions to we saw 4 deer on the shore grazing like they owned the place (which I guess they did) We set our sites on the points jetting out along the far side of the lake about 200 feet offshore. Instantly off one of the points both the reels went off as we were trolling rainbow trout colored Yo-zuri Emperor Minnows and L-Jack series lures on 4 and 6 lb test at a fairly slow troll. First fish fell off but I managed to get mine to the boat and into it for supper that evening. We did a turn around and went right back over the same spot and sure enough another missed opportunity. Back we went again with another 2 strikes managing to get one in the boat for a better meal for the 3 of us eating that night. Back and forth again for nothing and we decided to give the opposite bank a try. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
On the other side of the lake were the serious bass guy's fishing the bow of their sleek boats with the chairs and trolling motor on the bow. We steered clear of them and moved again about 200 feet off the shoreline and continued our trolling pattern slow and parallel to shore. We started noticing the wind more and more as we headed back towards the launch ramp noticing there was only one jacket made it to the boat and it was mine! We again managed to get another rainbow to strike right out of the water it jumped and then a small battle and into the boat it came. We were done now 1 fish each for dinner and one released bass in about 2 hours fishing time. Now it was back to camp to make dinner and get warm. A jacket is a good thing to bring on any lake as the wind always decides to blow in the afternoon. I must tell you that the guy's at the marina tackle shop know their stuff about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Without their tips we may have come home empty handed as several others had that day. Good luck if you get a chance to fish Lake Cachuma and be sure to say hello the the great guys at the tackle shop near the launch ramp it may pay off big time for you in the long run.....Fish on! <'))))>< |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 5, 2004
WEATHER: Well, we didn’t have to worry about getting into triple digit weather this week! It is hard to do when you are overcast all the time. September is well know here as Hurricane time and while we don’t often get hit by one, the feeder bands that are associated with them often affect us. Hurricane Harold sent us some clouds and rain this week as it passed well to the west of us, and the rain was welcome. We had mostly clear skies at the beginning of the week but on Tuesday felt the first few scatterings of rain, then it cleared on Wednesday. On Thursday we got a bit more sprinkles and then Thursday night it moved in. Rain and wind were the words for the end of the week, and it sure knocked the dust off of everything!
WATER: Water temps at the beginning of the week were in the 85 degree range on the Pacific side and in the upper 80’s on the Cortez side. With the overcast from the feeder bands I am not sure what they were at the end of the week in most of the areas but I do know that out in front the water remained in the 83 degree range and was just a bit off color, at least compared to earlier in the week. Surface conditions were rough to moderate at the end of the week and the Port Captain closed the port Thursday at noon, re-opened it Friday (with advisories for heavy seas and high winds). A few boats tried to stick it out but almost every one was back in within an hour. Saturday the seas had moderated and the winds died a bit and it was very fishable, but bumpy.
BAIT: No change in bait availability this week, the normal summer Caballito at $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Perhaps the moon, or maybe the rough water, but something made the Billfish bite drop off. Not that there weren’t Marlin being caught, along with some Sailfish, there were fish out there, just not in the numbers of the last two weeks. The same areas were holding them and the 95 Spot as well as the 1150 had fish early in the week. At the tail end of the week there were a few fish found close to shore on the Cortez side but we won’t be sure where the concentrations went to until later on.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Once again there were plenty of Tuna to be found early in the week and the action was great up around the Golden Gate Banks and farther north on the Pacific, close to shore. Some of the fish were in the 80 pound range but most of them were smaller schoolies, in the 20-25 pound class. Find the Porpoise and you had found the fish. Cedar plugs, bright colored feathers and live bait worked well. There were Tuna in other places as well, but they were mostly scattered football fish. At the end of the week it appeared that the fish had moved much farther offshore, but things may settle down now the feeder bands are gone.
DORADO: The Dorado action was concentrated on the Pacific side up around the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Banks, as well as there being some wide open action for boats lucky enough to find one of the few paddies floating out there. Most of the fish were in the 12-20 pound class and at the end of the week the bite had moved. More fish farther offshore and slightly larger ones at that!
WAHOO: I only saw one Wahoo flag at the beginning of the week but after the rough weather, on Sunday, there were quite a few flying. Our boat picked up two nice fish, one on the Pacific side at the lighthouse and one on the Cortez side as they were clearing lines. The fish were between #40 and #65.
INSHORE: Plenty of action on Skipjack early in the week but at then end of the week there was no inshore fishing due to the sea conditions.
NOTES: Sigh, September. It is either the best fishing or the worst weather of the year, and this year we have had both! Hopefully we will avoid getting a direct hit this year! While the Billfishing slowed this week, there are some nice Blues out there. On Monday an American boat reported over the radio that they had released a very nice Blue Marlin after a four hour fight and gave the GPS numbers over the radio. The brother of my Captain went to the area about two hours later and found a #700 Blue floating belly up, it appeared that the fish had been tail wrapped and died during the fight or shortly after release. At least the fish did not go to waste, but I wish the original anglers had stayed with it long enough to be sure it had recovered. This weeks report was written to the various artists recording for Higher Octave Music (Ottmar Liebert, Craig Chaquico, The Soto Koto Band, Cusco, Nightingale, Himekami, EKO, Randy Tico, William Aura and Tri Atma) on the 1993 release “The Higher Octave Collection; “Music from around the World for around the clock””.
