Feb 15, 2009; 04:24PM - Make 'Em Last : Save A Grub

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Make your grubs, curly tails, dingers, etc last by sliding the grub past the eye of the hook and then stick a toothpick/shaved wood into the eye and cut the ends. This prevents throwing the grub off even after a few hits. Also play with the cutting to change a lure's action. |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FEBRUARY 6-12, 2005
WEATHER: As strange as it may seem, this week’s weather section could be a repeat of last weeks with the exception of the day it rained. Our weather this week moved in on Thursday after noon, it started raining Friday morning and stopped early Saturday morning. A little over two inches fell, almost a third of our yearly average. Our high for the week (unofficial, from my house in town) was 82 degrees while the low was 58 degrees.
WATER: The water was beautiful for most of the week except for Friday when the wind with the rain gusted in. The water on the Pacific side has remained cool. At the end of the week we were seeing temperatures in the 67-70 degree range. A finger of this cooler water wrapped around the Cape and extended up the Cortez coast to outside San Jose. Farther out on the Cortez side the water was 71-72 degrees. Surface conditions remained excellent except for Friday.
BAIT: Mackerel was the bait of the week as is usually the case this time of year. They could be obtained at the normal price of $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: At the end of the week the Striped Marlin were concentrated 14 miles to the south of the Cape. Mixed in with some Porpoise these fish were actively feeding over a very large area. Actively feeding does not mean actively biting though. There was plenty of bait in the area and it took a bit of luck as well as plenty of presentations to get one of these fish to bite. A few of the Marlin were a bit larger than the average with fish pushing #200 in the mix. Slow trolling dead baits, working the general area and live baits thrown to active feeders worked, but you had to be very fast with the love bait as the fish were really moving around.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Yellowfin bite was off this week for most of the boats though a few were able to find fish on different days. Finding Porpoise was the key, but even then not all the Porpoise marked Tuna. Fish caught were averaging 20 pounds and bit on dark colored feathers and the usual Tuna killer, the cedar plug.
DORADO: Working close in on both sides of the Cape produced Dorado for boats willing to forgo the Marlin craze. The fish were not large but they were there consistently. Working water from 60-150 feet in depth with small bright lures or slow trolling live Mackerel enabled several boats to score fish counts as high as 8 fish per boat. The Dorado ranged from 6-20 pounds.
WAHOO: A few Wahoo were reported this week but there were no large amounts of them found, nor any large concentration of fish.
INSHORE: Once again Sierra are the inshore fish of the week. Anglers have been able to catch as many as they want. The Pacific side of the coast has been going off from the lighthouse up to Migraino on fish from three to six pounds. Small green hootchies live Sardinas and small Rapallas have all been working well, just don’t forget to use wire leader!
NOTES: The Whales continue to provide entertainment and it is a good thing as for some boats that was all the excitement to be had this week. The bite was off until the end of the week and even then luck played a big part in getting a good catch. This weeks report was written to the music of the 1972 release of his self-titled first album, “Roy Buchanan”. What a great guitarist he was! Until next week, Tight Lines!
