Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques
|
|
Category: California Freshwater Lakes
|

Author Name: webmaster

Tip&Trick Description 1:
My first time fishing Lake Cachuma was this last weekend April 27th 2002 and I will let you in on a secret this is a fine lake with great staff excellent fishing and abundant campsites. I was very impressed with the guys at the marina ( Jim and Allen) for giving us great tips for fishing their lake without holding back any information necessary for a first timer to their lake. Right out of the marina he told me to troll straight thru the center of the lake and we would be sure to get bit and he was right. Less than 10 minutes from the launch ramp right where he suggested we caught the first fish a nice largemouth bass about 3-4 lbs and lost the first hook up as we were surprised to get a strike so soon. This fish jumped clear out of the water and fought like a much larger fish than it actually ended up being. |
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
We released the bass and continued anxious to get to the trout which is what we were after. On the way to the next spot Jim and Allen had given us directions to we saw 4 deer on the shore grazing like they owned the place (which I guess they did) We set our sites on the points jetting out along the far side of the lake about 200 feet offshore. Instantly off one of the points both the reels went off as we were trolling rainbow trout colored Yo-zuri Emperor Minnows and L-Jack series lures on 4 and 6 lb test at a fairly slow troll. First fish fell off but I managed to get mine to the boat and into it for supper that evening. We did a turn around and went right back over the same spot and sure enough another missed opportunity. Back we went again with another 2 strikes managing to get one in the boat for a better meal for the 3 of us eating that night. Back and forth again for nothing and we decided to give the opposite bank a try. |
|
Tip&Trick Description 3:
On the other side of the lake were the serious bass guy's fishing the bow of their sleek boats with the chairs and trolling motor on the bow. We steered clear of them and moved again about 200 feet off the shoreline and continued our trolling pattern slow and parallel to shore. We started noticing the wind more and more as we headed back towards the launch ramp noticing there was only one jacket made it to the boat and it was mine! We again managed to get another rainbow to strike right out of the water it jumped and then a small battle and into the boat it came. We were done now 1 fish each for dinner and one released bass in about 2 hours fishing time. Now it was back to camp to make dinner and get warm. A jacket is a good thing to bring on any lake as the wind always decides to blow in the afternoon. I must tell you that the guy's at the marina tackle shop know their stuff about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Without their tips we may have come home empty handed as several others had that day. Good luck if you get a chance to fish Lake Cachuma and be sure to say hello the the great guys at the tackle shop near the launch ramp it may pay off big time for you in the long run.....Fish on! <'))))>< |

Cabo Fish Report
March 5-11, 2012
WEATHER: Great weather once again with our nighttime lows in the mid 60's and the daytime highs in the mid to high 80's and just a bit of cloud cover during the middle of the week. The winds were variable in direction and strength depending on your location. On Thursday it was blowing hard in San Jose but calm in Cabo, the reverse the next day. We were on the Pacific Thursday and Friday and it was calm with just a slight breeze from the southwest.
WATER: On the Pacific side the water was 71 degrees within four miles of the beach and 73 degrees from there to 8 miles east of the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Banks. Due south at 12 to 15 miles we had 77 degree water and to the east past the 115o and the Gorda Banks we saw 70 degree water. Surface conditions were good with swells at three to five feet on the Pacific and one to three feet on the Cortez side.
BAIT: Mackerel and Caballito were the baits available at the normal $3 each but there appeared to be few Sardinas available this week. Many of the bait boats would sell only five live baits and try to talk you into buying large frozen ballyhoo as well, but the fishery right now doesn't really need these large ballyhoo.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Still an on and off fishery, the beginning of the week saw quite a few Striped Marlin showing themselves from the arch to San Cristobal on the Pacific side and a few of them were willing to eat. A few boats managed to release as many as three fish while drifting live baits deep but then the fish moved on and the bite stopped. On Thursday we saw a few fish on the south side of the Golden Gate and managed to release one, but on Friday we baited two fish at the San Jaime and east of there with no action at all. Other boats were reporting the same results from all over. Perhaps the full moon on the 8th had something to do with this?
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The area known as the “herradura”, south of the San Jaime held porpoise that were with football Yellowfin early in the week then they moved on. At the end of the week there were reports of the same size fish being found in the warm water 12 to 15 miles to the south of the Cape. No great numbers were caught by any boat, but getting four or five was the average while the fish were there, plus you had shots at a Marlin or two.
DORADO: A repeat of last week as there were scattered Dorado found offshore in the warm 74 degree water. These fish were nice sized, but there sure were not many of them. A few boats caught fish to 30 pounds but they were not there thick enough to focus on, instead they were incidental catches for boats focusing on Marlin and Yellowfin. There were scattered smaller fish to 10 pounds caught near shore by boats fishing for Sierra and Yellowtail, but once again not enough of them for any focused effort.
WAHOO: I was surprised that I heard of no Wahoo caught this week considering the full moon is normally a good time to catch them, and the warmer water we have seen is perfect. Oh well, like last week, what hoo?
INSHORE: I said it best in last weeks report when I made the comment “Things sure can change from week to week”. True words as the great Yellowtail fishing we had been having took a turn toward the down side. Boats were still fishing for them but instead of getting five or six per trip on average, the results were quite a bit worse with many boats not getting any at all. A lucky few were able to catch one or two of them, but that was the exception. There was a better bite on Sierra though, and some of the fish were decent size, up to 8 pounds. Toss in some good Pargo and Grouper fishing and there was action to be had inshore.
FISH RECIPE: Check the blog for this weeks recipe!
NOTES: Great weather, decent fishing and smooth seas, what more do you want? Yeah, I know, great fishing would be better, but you don't always get what you want, sometimes you get what you need. Guess what music I listened to this week for the report?
Have a great week, catch lots of fish, and get those reservations for Cabo made!
