CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 15-21, 2005
WEATHER: It’s cooking down here this past week, and it looks like it will continue this coming week as well. Our day time highs have been right at 100 degrees with a heat index of 110. At the end of the week there was little wind to cool things off so it was particularly warm. Our night time lows have been in the high 70’s with a little bit of breeze, but not enough for me to sleep with the window and patio door open, we have been using the air conditioner! We did have a couple of partly cloudy days in the middle of the week and a little spit of rain Wednesday night, just enough to dot the car windows.
WATER: That temperature break that ran north-south just to the west of the 95 spot was still there at the end of the week and the warm side was 86 degrees and the cool side was 84 degrees. Up in the Sea of Cortez we saw temperatures in the 88-89 degree range, with the warmest spot being right on top of the Gorda Bank. On the Pacific the water was cooler with temperatures ranging from 78 to 84 degrees. Close to home right off the Cabo Falso area there was water at 84 degrees and there was a spot of warm water just to the west of the San Jaime and to the north of the Golden Gate banks. The winds varied their direction this week and at the end of the week there was little chop anywhere as the winds became very light.
BAIT: There was Caballito available from the local bait boats at the normal $2 per bait and there were small Mackerel as well at the same price.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: If you were in the right spot this week there were billfish to be caught, but it was a mater of the right place at the right time. Tide change was very important this week and my personal results show that. I fished on Friday and Saturday. Friday was a big fish hunt with high tide at 9:12 am. 10 miles outside the Westin Hotel where there was a temperature break we hooked a small Blue Marlin at 9:10, released the fish after 15 minutes, had one line back in the water when it was nailed by a Striped Marlin, had the lines back in the water after 15 minutes with one still to be put in position when we got nailed again and released another fish after 15 minutes. Three marlin within an hour after tide change and I worked the same small area for another three hours with only one half hearted strike. On Saturday the clients wanted quantity so I went to the Golden Gate Banks looking for Tuna and Dorado. Within one hour of the tide change at 10:09 we had released three Striped Marlin and had two other strikes, and possible could have caught more abut the clients wanted meat so we proceeded away from the Marlin. One boat ended up releasing 7 Striped Marlin from the same spot. Another friend caught a 600 pound Black Marlin, hooking the fish an hour after the tide change. As you can see, the fish were concentrated, but the spots were scattered around.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: I didn’t hear of any large fish this week, and the nice fish that were up around the Golden Gate bank last week seemed to have moved on. There were still fish with the porpoise, but they were smaller than footballs, I called them nerf-balls, fish that were perfect Marlin bait size at 4-5 pounds. Other than that I heard of nothing in our area this week.
DORADO: No change here with most of the Dorado being found on the Pacific side. Floating debris would hold an occasional nice fish to 60 pounds but most of the fish found were in the 8-15 pound class with the smaller fish more prevalent. Bright colored lures run from the outriggers worked the best for the school fish while live bait dropped around debris accounted for some of the nice big boys.
WAHOO: There were a few fish in the 30-45 pound class reported from around the banks on the Pacific side, but no concentrations of them.
INSHORE: Inshore action was slow with just a few bottom fish and a few Roosterfish being found on the Pacific side. Most of the Pangas have been working from the 50 fathom line to five miles out looking for Tuna, Dorado and Marlin.
NOTES: Marlin were the high note for the week for about half the boats. I found it amazing that we were still having the kind of Striped Marlin action that we had considering the time of year, normally we might fish for three days before getting a strike from a Blue Marlin. This weeks report was written to the music of Four Play on their self titled 1991 Warner Bros release. Great Music! Until next week, tight lines!
