CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MAY 19 - MAY 25, 2003
WEATHER: Clear skies all week long and our highs were in the mid 90’s with our nighttime
lows ranging from the high 60’s to 80 degrees. Great weather conditions until Tuesday evening
when the wind started to jack it up in volume and speed, and it was coming from the west! That
gave us almost nowhere to hide on the way in and it did not die down overnight as it had been
doing. This gave us very rough conditions on the Pacific side of the Cape for the rest for the
week but the wind slowly shifted to a bit more north and the Cortez side actually shaped up very
well. (Lush)
WATER: The cold water from the Pacific continued it’s incursion in the area through
mid-week but by Friday afternoon it had weakened and the warm water was beginning to come
out of the Cortez once again. On the Pacific side it remained cold with temperatures in the high
60’s and low 70’s through the end of this reporting period, but we were once again seeing 80-82
degree water on the Cortez side. By Saturday afternoon the 95 Spot, 1150 and the outer Gorda
were once again showing readings of 80 degrees and the water was back to a lavender color.
Inshore the water remained warm but was still off-color, out to a distance of about a mile. The
temperature and color have been shifting on a daily basis, ebbing back and forth, but steadily
working warmer and bluer water westward. (Soma)
BAIT: Mackerel were once again the bait of the week at the usual $2 per bait. (Dream)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Hot spot for the week was the 95 Spot and areas to the east of there from
Wednesday afternoon to the weekend, then the fish shifted inshore and started to show in large
numbers within 3 miles of the Cortez coast with the largest concentrations from Chileno to San
Jose. The down side of having the fish closer was that they were not in as good a mood to bite as
the ones offshore had been. A lot of multiple hook-ups were reported mid-week but by Friday the
bite had fallen off and a lot of boats came in flying no flags at all. On Sunday the action shifted
offshore again and the bite improved. Live bait was the ticket for getting fish to the boat. (Duende
Del Amor)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Yellowfin remained off the bite and pretty much out of the area for
most boats this week, and that may have been due to the rough conditions out on the Pacific side
of the Cape. On Saturday there were reports of Large Tuna, the size of “Volkswagens”,
appearing with Porpoise off of the Seamount and outside the outer Gorda, but they were being
extremely picky about eating, and very line shy as well. Cedar plugs were the ticket to getting
any Yellowfin this week. (Black Stone Buleria)
DORADO: Dorado bite was down as the Pacific side roughened up but there were still some
nice fish coming in, just not in the numbers we had been having the last few weeks. Most of the
fish were falling to bright colored lures (what a surprise, huh?) and live bait. Most of the fish
were found as blind strikes with following fish being taken of live bait dropped back. (Santa Fe)
WAHOO: I guess three weeks was pushing it a bit far, but it was a great run while it lasted!
Very few fish were caught as the week neared it’s end, and those that did bite were blind strikes.
(Snake Charmer)
INSHORE: The Pacific side north of the lighthouse was blown out but there was good action
this side of the Cape on Pargo for those using bait in the rocks. Some Roosterfish were found up
in the Sea of Cortez in the San Jose area but the cooler off-green water closer to Cabo put them
off the bite. I did see some very nice Cabrilla come in from a few commercial Pangas working
outside of Cabo, in the Grey Rock area. (Buddha’s Flower)
NOTES: The turn in the winds really did a number on the fishing this week but it appears that
it is just temporary as the warm water is returning. The fish of the week was definitely Marlin,
and as you can tell from the report, the action in the first half of the week was outstanding! I
received a note from one of my music idols and since this was the first (and only) response from
any artist I have ever listed, I would like to express my appreciation by letting all of you know
that Ottmar Liebert is not only an awesome guitarist, he is also an all around nice guy! Thanks
OL, you made my day, and my next purchase of music will be your “Lava” album. Meanwhile,
for those of you who have not had the pleasure of his music, check it out at www.lunanegra.com.
