Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MAY 23-29, 2004
WEATHER: Our day time highs here in town were in the mid 90’s this week and the night time lows got down to the mid 60’s. A friend reported that out at his place on the Pacific side the thermometer got down to 56 degrees one night. Out on the water it was at least 10 degrees cooler for most of the week and windy as well. The wind started blowing at around 10 or 11 in the morning and did not stop until just before sunrise. We had partly cloudy skies and no rain was reported.
WATER: As of the end of the week the water temperatures on the Sea of Cortez were seen as high as 76 degrees while the Pacific remained cooler at 62 to 65 degrees out almost as far as you could go. The cold water extended to the south about 30 miles and wrapped around the Cape as well. At the end of the week there was a fairly distinct temperature break running east/west from the Cape, but the off color green water normally associated with the cold side extended up almost to the Red Hill area. The water at the San Jaime and the Golden Gate banks was reported to be blue, but cold, while the water close to the shore on the Pacific was reported as green.
BAIT: Almost all Caballito this week with some mullet available. The normal $2 per bait. Sardinas are available at $20 a bucket.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: This week there was no change in the Marlin situation. It was still a long run to get to where the fish have been concentrated. The area from 2 miles outside of the Outer Gorda Banks to the area off of Punta Gorda has been holding lots of Striped Marlin but they have been lazy fish and most of them have not been actively feeding. Some fish were showing 30 miles to the south as well, but they were fewer in number. Lures were getting a lot of attention from the fish, but the hook up ratio was poor. I am sure there were a few Blue Marlin hooked this week but did not hear of any.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Open water fish, not associated with porpoise, were reported at 30 miles to the south. The largest of these weighed 40 pounds with most of them in the 12-15 pound class. Cedar plugs were working well and so were small feathers in both dark and light colors. The boats that made it out to the San Jaime and the Golden Gate hoping for Tuna were disappointed with the results, but they did find a few fish.
DORADO: No change from last week on the Dorado front, again, scattered Dorado, with smaller fish being found inshore and the larger ones off shore. The bigger fish have been up the Sea of Cortez, around the Punta Gorda area, and they have been nice fish, mostly in the 30 pound and over range. Marlin lures in bright colors have been the ticket.
WAHOO: Fewer Wahoo were reported this week than last week, and again most of them were incidental fish. They ranged in size from 20 to 50 pounds and most were taken on Marlin lures.
INSHORE: Most of the inshore catch this week was small Roosterfish and Jack Crevalle, but there were not a lot of those found except for the area between El Tulle and Red Hill. There were Skipjack and Bonita found as well as small Dorado, and these fish were off the beach from ½ to 3 miles, but the bite was off, probably due to the green water close to home.
NOTES: You had to go a long way this week to get into any fish unless you were very lucky, so there were not as many flags flying at the end of the day as there have been. At the end of the week it looks as if there is warmer water moving into the area and as it comes in the water close to home should blue up and the fishing should improve. This weeks report was written to the sound of various musicians on different channels as we listened to satellite radio! Until next week, Tight Lines!
