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 DECEMBER 20-26, 2004
WEATHER: We had mostly sunny skies this week with our high temperatures in the high 70’s to low 80’s and our night time lows in the low 60’s. Cold enough to make you want a sweater and remember why we live where it is warm! No rain this week of course, but it did look like we might have gotten a bit up in the mountains. We had pretty strong afternoon breezes from the south-east on most afternoons later in the week.
WATER: At the beginning of the week the water was warmer than it had been for the past several weeks, but later on it cooled off again. Our highest water temperatures were at the beginning of the week when we saw 78 degree water all along the coast on both the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez. Now, at the end of the week, the highest I could find was 75 degrees, and that was 30 miles to the south. We still have a band of warm water running along the Pacific coast out to a distance of around 20 miles to the west of the Cape and 10 miles farther up the coast. The temperature break seems to have run across the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Bank all week.
BAIT: Once again almost the only bait available was Mackerel. They have been the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin bite dropped off a bit from the action we had last week, but that was mostly because the fish have been moving around a lot. Once you found the fish it was an average of three bites per boat, except for the first couple of boats to the action, and some of them were getting multiple hook ups. Early in the week all the action was up the coast on the Pacific side, with most of the boats working the area to the inside of the Golden Gate Banks. Getting there early was the key, as late in the morning the wind started to blow hard. As the week went on the fish moved south and at the end of the week the action was centered about five miles to the south of the 95 Spot, then moved off to the south-west. Most of the bites were on live Mackerel, but rigged Ballyhoo got some attention as well, and lures seemed to fill in third place.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: This weeks section on Yellowfin is a repeat of last weeks with the exception that there was a bit of very early morning action had within 500 meters of the arch on football fish, using both feathers and iron. There were more Yellowfin found this week than there were last week, but the big ones have not shown up yet. Almost all the Yellowfin caught this week were football fish or smaller school fish, the largest fish I saw was around 40 pounds. There were reports of a few large fish found out past the San Jaime Banks, but I never did find out who caught them. The Fish closer to home were found in Porpoise pods and bit fairly well on small feathers. The best action this week seemed to be on the Pacific side about 15 miles out, but there was some good action had as well on the Sea of Cortez up around the Gorda Banks. At the Gorda, Sardinas were the ticket for a good catch and for some reason the fish were just a bit larger up there.
DORADO: Not the fish of the week, but there were still some nice fish being found mixed in with the Striped Marlin. These fish were averaging 20 pounds with a few to the 45 pound mark. Live Mackerel caught their attention, and many anglers hooked up thinking that there was a Striped Marlin at the end of the line. A few fish were found close to shore on both sides of the Cape but the action on them was not as strong as it was last week.
WAHOO: Very few Wahoo were caught this week, and those that were found were incidental fish in the 30-40 pound class, close to shore on the Cortez side.
INSHORE: Inshore fishing remained slow this week but there are some Sierra beginning to show up. A few scattered Roosterfish and Jack Crevalle round up the major species caught next to the beach and most of the Pangas have been heading out a bit farther looking for Dorado and Striped Marlin.
NOTES: Merry Christmas to all of you, and I hope it has been and will continue to be a good holiday experience. I got my wife a double CD, the “Echoes, the Best of Pink Floyd”, 2001, EMI, as one of her Christmas presents and am listening to it as I write this report. Until next year, Tight Lines!
