While the seas were pretty grumpy early in the week, by mid-week they had calmed downed
and the action moved much closer this week with the fleet reporting fish at ten miles. Most of the anglers hardly had a chance for their breakfast to settle before the teasers were let out behind the boats. In no time at all cries of “Cast! Cast! Cast!”, could be heard as the sailfish charged the teasers right up to the transom in search of food. Steady action continued most of the day with most boats reporting double digit shots. Still some dorado in the 20 – 30 lb. class showed up in the pattern occasionally.

We have really enjoyed an outstanding week. The 80º blue water is almost on the beach, and the sailfish action has been great. Almost every boat in the fleet was averaging 8 to 10 sailfish raised a day. This gives a lot of shots to the fly fisherman, producing at least two to three hooked fish a day.
Conventional gear fishermen are getting a per boat average of 3 to 4 sailfish a day, with some boats getting 7 or 8. The blue marlin are still coming in at about 3 a day for the 25 boat fleet. Dorado have been sporadic. Some days they are here in abundance, with some boats getting 4 or 5 of the fish averaging about 25 to 30 pounds, and then they are gone for a day or two.
The Yellowfin tuna are breezing in and out now. But, they are very skittish. With the fish crashing the surface, and the birds diving on the baits, we slowly move in on the school, only to have them sink into the depths. The tuna action should pick up considerably this next week or two.
Some notable catches:
Arturo on the panga Janeth made the 45 mile run to Papanoa to fish virgin waters, and found 2 roosterfish of almost 45 pounds, and 6 large jack Crevalle to 25 pounds. He then fished with fly fishing client Clay Danenhower of Bellingham WA and got several jacks on the fly at the white rocks.
Randy Lueth of Indiana got two sailfish on the fly, which we tagged and released. Plus, I also guided Natale Chiaudani of Italy for two days. On the fly, he hooked 5 sails and a striped marlin.

Sporadic North winds this week made it necessary to decide each morning between a kick back day or fishing. Early morning action for sierra has been good; locals are complaining that the 60 degree temps are cool enough to require a jacket. The best spots are at the mouths of the arroyos. If the wind doesn’t crank up too early, the ladyfish action has been great. Still a few dorado if you are in the right place at the right time, same with the tuna. Some of the hotel boats found schools of Yellowfin to 80 lbs. that were willing to bite. The billfish action has slowed in the past few weeks.

Jan 10, 2006; 12:33PM - Florida/Hawaii peacock bass
|
|
Category: Hawaii

Author Name: Stan Wright

I was reading a story in the Jan/Feb 2006 American Angler by Bob Stearns.
It's called 'Proud Is a Peacock' and describes fishing for peacock bass in South Florida. As I read the story I kept noticing that Florida and Hawaii peacock bass act just alike.
About the fish, gear, and tactics...... I could fit right in there in Florida. Guide Jim Anson prefers the same size tackle and flys that we've found so productive here in Hawaii. (5 and 6 wt. fly rods --- chartreuse and white Clouser with small dumbbell eyes and a little gold flashabou.) Amazing.
He reminds us that peacock bass are warm water fish and if the water temperature drops down to 70 degrees you can forget it. Everything shuts down. So true, so true. This week the action has been slow, really hard fishing. Even in Hawaii the cold fronts move in and the water temperature drops. I usually work the shoreline around structure and as a kicker, trail a live bait behind the boat. The catch this last week has been about even on live bait, lures, and flys. Just a few fish on each.
But then I look at how beautiful Wahiawa Reservoir is, how relaxing being out on the water with friends can be, and think....'The best time to go fishing is when every you can get off and go.'
Aloha,
Stan

Cabo Fish Report
Jan 1-8, 2006
WEATHER: First I would like to wish every one a happy new year! We have had a fine start with our weather warming up a bit and the wind disappearing. Our year has started with daytime highs in the mid 80’s and our nights in the low 60’s, just about as perfect as you can get. No rain of course and very few clouds, so things are off to a sunny start.
WATER: From Punta Gorda and north on the Cortez side the water is 70 degrees. On the Pacific side we have water at 73-74 degrees out as far as the west side of the Golden Gate and San Jaime Banks. Past there it cools to 71-72 degrees. South of us from the 1150, the 95 spot and across to about 10 miles south of the San Jaime we have had a big warm water eddy move in with temperatures in the 76-78 degree range, and fin a few spots early in the week the water was a bit warmer than that. The surface conditions on both sides of the Cape have been great with large rolling swells but no wind chop, just about as perfect as you could ask for.
BAIT: There was a mix of Mackerel and Caballito available this week at the normal $2 per bait. Sardinas were available from Pangas up at Palmilla at the normal $20 per scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: We knew that it could not last forever but we are very happy that id lasted as long as it did. The Striped Marlin bite at the Finger Bank has dropped way off with a lot of boats making the trip with no results to show for it. We have had a few folks manage to get two to four fish and an occasional 6 fish day up there, but you can do that closer to home with a bit of luck. There has been a fair concentration of fish off of the Light house on the Pacific side and it seems that almost every day half the fleet is there soaking bait with the results being between one and three fish a day. It gets a bit crowded and if the bait ball comes up a lot of boats charge to the spot where the Frigates are diving making for heavy traffic and lots of bounce for boat staying in one spot. The warm water that appeared early in the week did result is several Blue Marlin being caught wit the largest I heard of being right in the #700 range, as well as a few small Black Marlin. With these fish being caught to the east and south, the Striped Marlin close to home, just about the only thing missing would be Swordfish, and my friend Chuck Baker took his new purchase, the 35 Cabo named Knot-2-Worry out to the Finger Bank and ended up making the first fish for the boat a small Swordfish that they spotted while under way! Yep, a little bit of everything to start off the New Year!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: It looks as if the Yellowfin are going to be the fish of the week, and maybe of the month since they have been the most predictable catch. Mostly footballs to 15 pounds, they are being found under Dolphin. The main areas have been between the 95 spot and the San Jaime banks out to a distance of 35 miles. Of course most of the fish were closer than that, but there were some large fish out farther. Slow trolling live Caballito in front of the Dolphin resulted in multiple fish in the 50-70 pound class for quite a few boats, and there were reports of fish to #150 as well.
DORADO: The warm water incursion we have had has resulted in an improved Dorado bite with most of the action taking place right on the edge of the warm and cold water. This means that the bite has been good just three miles form shore. The best lures have been small plastics of around 8 inches in length in bright colors, with heads producing a lot of surface action. Dropping back a live bait after the first fish has been brought near the boat often resulted in multiple hook-ups. There are fish close to the beach as well as just off the arch, but the seals and sea lions can be a problem there!
WAHOO: I heard of some Wahoo being caught this week but there were not many of them and the sizes were not large. Most of the reports were from the Cortez side up around the Gorda Banks and the Iman Bank area.
INSHORE: The inshore fishing is starting to improve with Sierra being the main catch. If the schools are found most of the boats have been catching 12 to 20 fish per trip, but if the concentration is not there things are quite a bit slower. Some days the catch has been only one or two fish. A Captain reported to me that on one of his days this week they caught one Sierra, three Dorado, several small Yellowfin and one #150 Mako shark along with a large number of Bonita. The fish are there; you just have to search a bit.
NOTES: A 1997 KRB release of Jerry Lee Lewis’s “Great Balls of Fire” compilation was playing while I wrote this report and I just love his rendition of “You Win Again”. This year is off to a great start for most of us, but not for everyone. I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Dennis Cam, the owner of one of the boats I take care of. Dennis passed away due to a massive heart attack at 11:30 New Years eve, and he will be missed very much. Tight Lines Dennis. Well folks, until next week, may you all have smooth seas and tight lines!

The first week of 2006 really fizzled the first few days, maybe both the anglers and fish partied too hard welcoming in the New Year. Mid-week, the fishing began to get its groove back providing enough action to keep bars buzzing at Happy Hour. In addition to the customary sailfish bite, there were just enough blue marlin to make the angler think about which rod to grab. There were even a few fat dorado streaking into the pattern with a gold and turquoise flash to confuse the game plan further.

The 80º blue water is just outside Zihuatanejo Bay and the fishing has been excellent. Most of the action is coming from the 12- to 15-mile mark on a 210º heading. We are getting lots of sailfish, dorado, blue marlin, and striped marlin. Actually, the striped marlin are somewhat unique for this area, but this last week has seen a bunch of them taken.
Some notable catches were made by Adolpho on the panga “Dos Hermanos” this week. Offshore, he had a one day total of eight sailfish releases. He then took the 45 mile run south to Papanoa and got four roosterfish and 15 large jack crevalle. Yesterday (1/6) he went 35 miles north and got four roosters and 31 of the large jacks.
Rick Erdman and his wife, annual clients of Santiago on the panga “Gitana,” fished three days. They released 10 sailfish and caught an additional three striped marlin. Plus, another 70 year old client from Chicago fished yesterday (Friday) with Santiago. They were back at the dock before noon. The client was worn out with four sailfish and a striped marlin.
John Ring of Lodi, Calif., fished with me one day, tagging and releasing his first sailfish on the fly. And his 11 year old son David also released his first sailfish when we did a bait and switch drop back using a 20-pound spin outfit with a circle hook. David fought the fish alone the entire 30 minutes it took to get the sail to the boat for a photo and release.
The dorado are averaging one or two to a boat per day, and about 25- to 30-pounds. The fleet is averaging two to three blue marlin a day

2006 got off to an unusual start. Jennifer Rayor, Vista Sea Sports, described the weather on New Year’s day as absolutely stunning. Then, on Jan. 2, Felipe Valdez, the youngest brother of Valdez family that owns and operates the Hotel Buena Vista, went out to catch sierra for the kitchen and stumbled across a swordfish sunning itself on the surface. The swordy must have made a New Year’s resolution to inhale the first mackerel thrown at it. Yep, you got it – one cast, one bite and Felipe’s first swordfish 25 minutes later. What does this have to do with fly-fishing? Nothing. With the north wind blowing the rest of the week, it was downhill from there. This morning (1/7) it looks like we may get another break from the wind.

The same big surf that has been pounding the California coastline for the past several weeks found its way down here. Between the wind and big surf it has been impossible to even get out Boca de Soledad, so most of the boats are staying closer to home. Even the fishing inside in the esteros has been less than wonderful. With whale-watching season just around the corner, the locals spent most of the week in preparation. For the few diehards, there were plenty of spotted bay bass, corvina and small halibut to mess with.
