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 JULY 18-24, 2005
WEATHER: We did have a day of bad weather this week as the feeder bands from Tropical Storm Eugene arrived Tuesday night and brought winds gusting to 40 knots with steady winds at 25 knots. Of course there was cloud cover with it but it was a very dry wind, no rain fell in our area because of it. The feeder bands were gone by Wednesday afternoon and we were back to bright, sunny skies. Our day time highs were in the high 90’s and our night time lows were in the low 80’s. We haven’t gotten the really high humidity yet so it has been very nice!
WATER: Except for Tuesday night and all day Wednesday the water has been great on both the Pacific side of the Cape and the Sea of Cortez side. On Wednesday the Port Captain closed the port to all arrivals and departures due to the large swells and heavy winds brought by the feeder bands, but the water improved dramatically by Thursday morning. We still had some good sized swells out there but there was no chop on top of it and both the Pacific and the Cortez side of the Cape were very comfortable. Early in the week the Pacific was much colder and had green water while the water on the Cortez side was just a bit off color but about three degrees warmer on average. The winds and swells changed things a bit but the current really mad the most drastic change. At the end of the week there was green water, but warm, up around the Punta Gorda area and slightly off color water in the 73 degree range just off shore on the Cortez side. On Thursday I fished the Pacific up to the Golden Gate Banks and while there were Porpoise everywhere and bait everywhere, there were no fish. The water was green and around 71 degrees. Reports from Saturday were that the current had pushed the green water away and the area was no very blue with temperatures in the 77-78 degree range. What we have now is the cold water in front on the Cortez side, warm water up past the Punta Gorda area and warm blue water on the Pacific side of the Cape.
BAIT: Once again it was almost all Caballito this week. The bait has been schooled up very thick and most of the baits we were getting had been snagged. There were some small Mackerel available at times. Both baits were the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: In almost a repeat of last weeks report, this week the Marlin action started off with a bang on the Cortez side up around the Red Hill area on the edge of the San Jose Canyon. The fish were thick and were willing to bite, but they were a little smaller than average with most of them in the 70 pound class. There were reports of a fairly decent pick on Blue Marlin action up around the Punta Gorda area, and then Mother Nature had to step in and change things. When everyone was finally able to get out and fish on Thursday things had changed a lot. There were still a few Stripers found on the Cortez side from 3 to 5 miles off shore, but the water had greened up. The Striper bite moved off shore to around the 1150 area and out, but they were not as thick as before the weather. There was some action reported later in the week from the Pacific side so we are looking at improvement in that area.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Find the right pod of Dolphin and you could get Tuna this week, but you had to move through a few pods to find the right ones. Fish ranging in size from 10 to 60 pounds were found by boats working between the Cabrillo Seamount (40 miles to the east) and the 1150 spot as well as by boats working the Pacific side 20 miles out late in the week. Feathers in bright colors and cedar plugs worked well, as did larger lures in petrelero.
DORADO: Most of the Dorado found later in the week were small fish and were released, but early in the week there were some nice ones in the 40 pound class. Hopefully as the Pacific side warms up and as the Cortez side clears up the fish will move back into the area.
WAHOO: I had no Wahoo strikes this week but heard that there were a few caught. Once in a while you might get lucky, but there was no concentration of fish and everything caught was accidental.
INSHORE: The inshore action was still slow with the exception of some decent Roosterfish up around the El Tule beach area. The swells from Tropical Storm Eugene messed up the near shore fishing a bit with dirty water and big waves.
NOTES: Just when things were starting to get bright, Mother Nature stepped in and set us back a bit. Hopefully next week things will be looking up, and with the movement of currents and improvement on the Pacific side there is reason for optimism. This weeks report was written to the music of Jimmy Buffet on the 1990 MCA release “Feeding Frenzy”. Until next week, Tight Lines!
