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 FOR JANUARY 25-31, 2003-04
WEATHER: No rain this week! If it had rained I felt it was cold enough to have snowed, but
then I have become acclimated to the warm weather here. When it gets below 70 degrees I feel
the need for a sweater. I really needed a sweater on Tuesday as we had the coldest day of the
year so far with my driveway thermometer showing a chilly 52 degrees at 5 in the morning. Our
average cold temperature was 58 degrees and our days heated up to around the high 70’s to low
80’s. Cloudy early in the week but blue skies the later half of the week. We have had a bit of
wind this week as well and the wind chill has me almost convinced to move somewhere warm!
WATER: Inshore on both the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez we had cold water, not getting any
signs of temperatures over 69 degrees. The water has cleared up though, and the greenish stuff
has gone away. The water is still not a clear, deep blue in shore, but it is much better. Off shore
it is a long way to warm water again, this week it is almost 30 miles to the south before you get
temperatures as high as 75 degrees. There is 72 degree water only 20 miles out and that is where
a lot of the boats have been concentrating their efforts. The windy weather we have had has made
for some short trips this week as the water gets pretty choppy around 10 am.
BAIT: The usual $2 per bait for Pacific Mackerel, very few Caballito and very few Mullet. No
reports to me of any Sardinas, but there may be some available.
FISHING
BILLFISH: Most boats have been going 15 miles out to the south for the Striped Marlin and
there have not been a lot of them around, but most boats are seeing at least a few. Live bait has
been the best producer with the bait being tossed at tailing fish. There are still some Blues being
reported, but they have been almost 30 miles out in the warmer water. Marlin are definitely not
the fish of the week this week.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Yellowfin were the fish of the week without a doubt. Most boats that got
into the fish were able to get plenty of them in the 10-25 pound range. You had to put in the
time, and there were not a lot of multiple hookups, but it was steady once you got into them. All
the action was either in Porpoise out to the area of the San Jaime or 95 spot, or in the blind while
working 2-3 miles offshore. Small dark colored feathers were the lure of choice.
DORADO: Slow action on the Dorado this week as the water continues to cool down, but there
were some nice fish caught out in the 72 degree water. A few boats were able to get into the
fish and returned to the marina flying three or four yellow flags. The anglers I spoke to said that
they were looking for Frigate birds and when they saw one hanging around in the same area they
put out live bait and slow trolled it. Guess that was the way to go if you wanted fish that were in
the 20-40 pound range.
WAHOO: Only a few Wahoo were reported this week and they were found out in the warmer
water.
IN SHORE: The Sierra bite that happened the last week is still going on, but the concentration
of fish has moved up the coast and is no longer supplying hot action just off the arch. The choppy
water has kept a lot of the boats from working in real close to the shore up the coast, but there
have been reports of pretty good Roosterfish action at the lighthouse. That is surprising to me
since the water is so cold, but hey, if there is bait around (finger mullet) then I guess there will be
the predators also! Bottom fishing was very poor due to the wind this week.
NOTES: As the water stays cold near home the trips to the warm water take longer. It looks as
if we are going to be doing a lot of fishing for Yellowfin Tuna and Striped Marlin soon, and
Dorado and Wahoo will become more difficult to get. Stay warm where ever you are, I am going
to sign off now and go eat a pre-Super Bowl breakfast with friends the go and cheer on the
Panthers! This weeks report was written to the great music of Joe Cocker on the 1999 Sony
Music release, “Organic”. Go for the emotion!
