As hosts for the last 21 years my wife Janice and I have accommodated many satisfied guests from North America and some as far away as Singapore. Although Walleye is the most popular target, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass Whitefish, Perch and Brook Trout are all available on the 28 miles of Lady Evelyn Lake or the portage lakes that we feature.

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I love fishing for Spanish mackerel, so I do it often. When I shove off to go fishing, I often stumble upon a very large school of mackerel, but sometimes they all don't want to feed and reject anything you throw at them. When this happenes, a good trick to get them to bite is to get them exited so they just want to catch what the think is a little fish just for the fun of it. To do this you would want to swich immediately to anywhere from a 1/4oz to a 1/2oz kastmaser-(like a spoon but a lot better). I make a long cast to where the fish are and as soon as that lure hits the water I begin to reel in just fast enough to get the kastmaser poping out of the water kinda like a fleeing baitfish. After it jumps out of the water a couple times keep it fast just below the surface. Do this at least 4 times during your retrieve and pretty soon you will have dozens of mackerel chasing your lure just for the sport of it until the lure bites back and then you get to have all the fun. |
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
When you get those swarms of mackerel chasing the your line, sometimes your lure will come to the boat a little early and the fish will ignore the katmaster and just swim away. To prevent this you want to go to the opposite end of the boat, make your cast, and then maneuver the lure so it will swim parallel to the boat, instead of directly at it, taking the mackerel with it. You will be catching mackerel right at the side of the boat. |

These techniques have worked for me many times and gotten me coolers full of fish and I hope they work for you, too. Good fishing till next time. |

San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
August 9, 2015
The Eastern Pacific remains calm in the vicinity of Southern Baja, though
at this time there is a powerful Hurricane Hilda brewing far off to the
west, present forecast has it passing to the north of the Hawaiian Islands.
Locally the conditions have been very tropical, with occasional
thundershowers over the mountainous regions, ocean swells have been light,
currents have been strong, greenish water had pushed in after south winds
from last week, though water clarity has showed improvement in recent days.
This week the larger high stake tournament season kicked off with the East
Cape Bisbee event, though overall crowds have been light as we move into
the warmest period of the year and everyone is anxiously following weather
reports for any development of tropical storms that might impact local
interests.
Yellowfin tuna remain the main species being encountered by anglers, using
sardinas for bait on the Iman Bank has been where the most consistent
action is being encountered. Sardinas have been found schooling near the
Puerto Los Cabos Marina Jetty’s, though these schools are not as plentiful
as during the previous weeks, showing signs of impact from heavy pressure,
since this has been the only area locally where these baitfish have been
available. Some anglers are shopping for slabs of giant squid at local
super markets as another option and this has been paying off. Average size
for the yellowfin has been in the 10 to 50 lb. range, though the recent
tournament did produce a couple of tuna in the 150 to 170 lb. class. Lots
of charter boats have been congregating on the Iman Bank, coming from as
far as the East Cape or Cabo Lucas, since this is where the best bite has
been, heavy pressure has meant that the fish have become more finicky and
anglers were finding better success while using lighter leaders, though
that can be a problem when hooking into larger fish. No huge numbers of
fish now, though most charter are catching fish and many have been
accounting for tuna in the 50 lb. class.
Still no dorado being reported, only an occasional wahoo and the billfish
bite has been scattered, with more blue marlin in the 100 to 200 lb. class
being found, a few black marlin as well, as well as some sailfish and
striped marlin. Last week a 553 lb. blue marlin was weighed in, caught on a
private boat on the Pacific Finger Bank, a bit out of range for normal day
charters.
Off the bottom there have been a mix of pargo, occasional amberjack,
triggerfish, bonito, white tuna, cabrilla, dogtooth snapper and even a
handful of larger sized roosterfish, which seem to like hanging out in the
deeper water where they are finding a variety of natural baitfish
congregating, this has been a trend in recent years. Anglers hooking into
heavy fish over the deeper structure, only to find out they have a big 40
to 60 lb. roosterfish instead of an amberjack or grouper.
Not much inshore action at this time of year, action is centered over the
offshore grounds, this is where all of the bolito, skipjack and other food
sources are congregated.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 60 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 3 blue marlin, 1 black marlin, 9 sailfish, 6
striped marlin, 6 wahoo, 205 yellowfin tuna, 5 dogtooth snapper, 6
amberjack, 14 cabrilla, 19 white skipjack tuna, 3 roosterfish and 28 mixed
pargo species.
Good fishing, Eric
