Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques

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 SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MAY 9-15, 2005
WEATHER: Day time highs in the mid to low 90’s and night time lows in the high 60’s have us feeling pretty good right now, and it’s really nice to have the humidity low! We ended up with a little overcast at the end of the week, nothing heavy and nothing that should bring any rain. Most of the week the wind was out of the north-west and it picked up a bit in the afternoons.
WATER: This week the water conditions were almost a repeat of last weeks. The Pacific side of the cape is still much cooler than the Cortez side with the average temperature at 67-68 degrees while on the Cortez side the water has been mostly between 74-78 degrees. The temperature break that formed last week along the edge of the California current has stayed there and runs from the light house on the Pacific side in a SSW direction and keeps going for over 40 miles. Surface conditions on the Pacific side have been a bit rough due to the fairly steady NW winds but the Sea of Cortez has been really smooth and with almost no wind chop to be found. Once in a while in the afternoon the wind would shift and come from the SW and then things would chop up, but not often and not for long.
BAIT: Early in the week getting bait was not a problem and mostly it was Caballito at the usual $2 per bait. Later in the week there seemed to be a bit of a problem if you were late getting out and some boats ended up leaving with no bait at all. There were some Sardinas found up at San Jose at the normal $20 per scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Striped Marlin remain the fish of the week once again. There was a great concentration of them up to the north on the Cortez side this week, around the Punta Gorda area. At any one time you could see between 60 and 80 boats working the area, and many of them were hooked up. While the Caballito were getting a few fish, most of the boats were having better luck catching their own Mackerel at the site and using them, sort of matching the hatch. Drifting with the live bait, slow trolling them both live and rigged dead worked well, and toward the end of the week there seemed to be a bit of an increase tendency to strike on trolled lures. At the end of the week the fish had either moved closer to home or a new group had come in because things started to take off around the 1150 spot. Not as concentrated as the fish at the Punta Gorda, they were there in numbers strong enough to make it a first stop destination for a lot of the boats. Average Marlin catch for those targeting the fish were two per boat, but many of the boats were releasing four and five per day. Of course there were a few boats that did not catch any, but that is why the stats are called averages!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Once again there were football sized fish showing up under the Dolphin, but not every pod held fish and not all the fish found would bite. When they did it was not uncommon to limit out on Tuna in the 10-25 pound range. Most of the fish were found near the temperature break south of the cape about 25 miles, where the water was a bit bumpy. There were nice fish holding on the Gorda Banks as well, but they were very picky fish. Nice Yellowfin from 30 to 100 pounds could be seen busting the water but the only anglers having any luck on them were the Panga fishermen out of San Jose who were there at gray light in the morning and using “Chilwillies” they caught themselves.
DORADO: Still not a happening fish, there are a few more of them showing up every week. As the water continues to warm they should start to come on strong. There were fish found this week mixed in with the Yellowfin at the temperature break, and there were still fish found out at the 1,000 fathom line on the Cortez side of the cape. These Dorado averaged 15 pounds and were striking bright colored lures.
WAHOO: Wahoo were out there this week and there were still a number of them caught out at Punta Gorda and around the inner Gorda Banks and the Red Hill area. A few of the fish caught went to 80 pounds and there were a lot of surprised anglers when they checked lures and found that there was nothing at the leader, a Wahoo had sliced through the leader and taken the lure without them even noticing. Dark colored lures in Petrelero and Green/Black seemed to be a favorite.
INSHORE: There was not a lot of change in the inshore fishing, there are still a few Sierra being found on the Pacific side of the cape and a few Roosterfish as well. Everyone I talked to that had been Panga fishing said that they had good action, and pretty steady at that on a good mix of fish, with no one fish showing exceptionally strong.
NOTES: I am going to be pretty busy this week since we are having the Roles/IGFA Championship Tournament in Cabo this coming week. Four days of fishing for 74 teams from around the world. You had to have won a qualifying tournament to be invited and it is a billfish release tournament on 30 pound line. It is being filmed by the Outdoor Network for an hour special later in the season. I don’t get to fish it but will be running the video boat if things don’t change. Sure is a good thing the Marlin fishing has been so good, now we are keeping our fingers crossed that it continues to stay good. This week the report was written to the music of Pink Floyd off the 1996 Capitol CD “Relics”. Until next week, Tight Lines!
