Cabo Fish Report
June 26- July 2, 2006
WEATHER: There is no doubt about it; we are defiantly in summer mode here in Cabo! Our daytime highs have been up to 102 here in town and at night our lows have been in the mid to high 70’s. Not only that, it’s starting to get humid. The best way to co9mbat this has been to get out on the water, and that is what Cabo is all about anyway. Unless you get a T-time of 7 am and play a very fast round, of course!
WATER: We had surface temperatures approaching 90 degrees showing up off the East Cape this week, but they never got close to us. The warmest water we saw was 86 degrees out around the Seamount, and that was just for a few days. Near home the water temperature on the Cortez side of the Cape averaged 86 degrees with the water just outside the arch at 82 degrees. On the Pacific side we have seen a steady push of the warmer water up to the north and out to the west. There has been a slight turn-over of the water near shore that happened on Friday afternoon and we had a finger of cool green water, about 74 degrees, flow along the beach on the Pacific and form an eddy that reached the 95 spot. Hopefully this goes away soon.
BAIT: Mostly Mackerel, Caballito and Mullet at the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Blue and Black Marlin are starting to show on a regular basis and there are still plenty of Striped Marlin showing up. The key for the Striped Marlin has been to get below the warm surface layer into the cooler depths. On the Cortez side there were a lot of lazy fish seen on the surface within 5 miles of the shore. Keeping an eye on the depth sounder for bait, it paid off to drop a couple of live ones down on top of the bait balls, mostly around 50-60 feet. That was where the fish were hungry. Boats doing this were able of catch three or four fish a day if they concentrated on it. The Blues and the Blacks were caught mostly while trolling lures. The Blues were off shore and most of them were found in the same areas as the football tuna. That makes a lot of sense because the tuna are a primary feed for them. A few boats rigged the tuna and fished them live and got results, not every boat had the technique work, but there was enough action for the lucky ones! The Black Marlin were concentrated closer to shore and while not there in big numbers, there were some quality size fish found. Almost all of these fish were caught on lures but I believe that if someone trolled a couple of live tuna over the edges on the banks and shelves there would be some action for them.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Most of the Yellowfin this week were football fish from 6 to 15 pounds and they were found in the blind just off shore, 5 miles or so on the Pacific side, with a few fish found on the Cortez side. These provided high numbers for a lot of the fleet boats and got a lot of anglers excited, but there were very few quality fish found. Strangely enough bright colored lures worked better than dark colored lures this week, and red/yellow was a favorite. That may have had something to do with the fact that every tuna we caught was stuffed to the gills on red crab and Sardinas! I did talk with a few anglers who said that farther off shore, 30 miles to the south there were Dolphin pods and they were holding some decent fish to 40 pounds, but they were moving fast.
DORADO: I have to say the Dorado were the fish of the week. They were found everywhere and almost every boat got some, a few boats did very well with fish counts of five or more, all in the 10-20 pound class with a few fish to 50 pounds. We expect the bite to only get better and the fish to get larger as time moves on. Bright colored lures and slow trolled live bait seemed to work best on these fish, and as long as the water was 80 degrees or better, the fish were there.
WAHOO: While the moon phase is not quite right for a good bite, the warm water has brought more fish in so that it seems that things are looking up. Just wait for the full moon and the warm water, there will be some nice fish taken. A boat berthed next to us had an #80 fish chew up a lure yesterday, the Captain said they saw it come in and attack.
INSHORE: Roosterfish fishing is improving with quality fish to 50 pounds starting to bite on the Cortez side of the Cape. Slow trolled live mullet, right in the surf line, has produced quite a few fish this week. There are large amounts of finger mullet just off the beach, as well as big schools of Sardinas. With the flat water conditions we had most of the week there was a lot of attention paid by the Pangas to fishing just off the beach, within 5 miles, for Marlin and Dorado as well as the football tuna, so the traditional beach fishing did not receive a lot of attention.
NOTES: The report is done and I’m out of here! I have a full day trip today and we are going to catch fish! This weeks report was written to the various groups that played on the Sirius radio “Margaretville” channel, such a nice thing to have! Until next week, tight lines!
