Cabo Fish Report
April 10-16, 2006
WEATHER: We had partly sunny skies most of the week with our daytime highs in the high 80’s and our night time lows in the low 70’s, as you can see it is starting to warm up here! On Monday we had a sudden blast of humidity roll in, it was just in time for Easter week! No rain of course, but very summer-like conditions.
WATER: There was no change in the water this week from last week as far as where the cold and warm waters are; it’s just increased by about 2 degrees everywhere. The cold, high 60’s green water is on the Pacific side with a warm water plume running across San Jaime Banks from the south, the water on the Cortez side has been warmer at the mid 70’s and much clearer. The wind was mainly from the NW but on Friday it shifted and came from the west on the Pacific side and the East on the Cortez side. It was a bit confusing for the smaller boats!
BAIT: Almost all Caballito this week at the usual $2 per scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: It was a Striped Marlin kind of week this week with some boats getting into the fish and getting double number releases. Of course there were not a lot of boats doing that, but most of us were able to get at least two or three releases per trip at the end of the week. There were fish everywhere you went, from the warm water on the Cortez side at Punta Gorda, the 95 spot and even in the greener water at the south and inside of the San Jaime. It was mostly a matter of being out there in the “right” spot when the tide was changing. The bite was a fairly even mix of bait and lures with lures trolled at 9 knots working better than slower trolling.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: We finally saw some Tuna come in this week. There were Porpoise everywhere out there and while most of them were not on fish, there were a few pods that had good schools under them. Most of the fish were footballs but a few to 60 pounds did come in. The bite was on a mix of jigs, plugs and feathers with a few of the nicer fish caught on live bait dropped back after the first strike. The majority of the action happened either just 5 miles off the beach due south or 25 miles to the south and west.
DORADO: The Dorado showing continued to improve this week with about 35% of the boats coming in with at lest one flag flying. The size of the fish has been spread all over the map with the average being 15 pounds, but a few large ones of 45-50 pounds as well. Bright colored lures were the ticket.
WAHOO: The full moon action on Wahoo continued this week with at least one boat coming in with four fish averaging 40 pounds. There were quite a few fish in the #30 range being caught in a warm water band 5-8 miles off-shore and up around the Gorda Banks. A few boats tried at the San Jaime but it appears that the water there is not warm or clear enough yet.
INSHORE: The Sierra bite slowed down just a little bit but there was a good bit of action right off the front of the Marina during the middle of the week early in the morning on fish to 10 pounds. Boats slow trolling live bait were able to score up to 10 fish each of those two mornings. Other fish also provided action this week with Roosterfish averaging 6 pounds biting fairly well along the beach on the Pacific side up to the lighthouse area. There were Bonita and Skipjack just a bit farther out and some interesting results for boats trolling live bait in 100 feet of water with a few Dorado, Wahoo and Striped Marlin appearing unexpectedly and getting everyone excited.
NOTES: This weeks report was written to a compilation entitled “Cabo 2006” given to me by our client Hughie. Great music Hughie, thanks! Until next week, tight lines!
