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! <'))))>< |

Oct 15, 2006; 12:41PM - Gordo Banks Pangas San Jose Del Cabo
|
|
Category: Mexico Cabo San Lucas
|
|
Author Name: Eric

Anglers traveling to Los Cabos are being greeted with ideal weather conditions,
clear sunny skies, tropical, with high temperatures in the upper 80s and early
mornings have just begun to have a slight fall chill to them. Ocean conditions were
calm, no swell to speak of at all, water temperatures are still above normal,
averaging from 86 to 88 degrees. It feels like there might be an El Nino current on
the horizon for this winter. Sardinas have remained the bait of choice and are being
found in abundant supplies off of La Playita, being netted each morning by the
commercial panguero fleet. Sportfishing charters are working in all directions, from
the Pacific to the Sea of Cortez, the most common catch was yellowfin tuna, with
also a scattering of billfish, dorado, wahoo and various bottom species.
This entire week there has been unbelievable wide-open action for yellowfin tuna,
the center of the activity was about one mile offshore, directly in front of the new
Puerto Los Cabos marina project, which is now nearing completion in the area of La
Playita. Scores of pangas, cruisers and yachts are coming from as far away as Los
Barriles and Buena Vista to get into this bite. The tuna have been averaging 20
pounds, some a little smaller and some a bit larger, anglers have been returning
regularly by 10 a.m. back to the beach with full limits and more of tuna. Also mixed
in the same area were a few sailfish, striped marlin and roaming schools of medium
sized dorado, but all these species found it very difficult to compete with the
aggressive feeding frenzy of the yellowfin.
Schooling tuna were found throughout the area, but none were in the numbers as in
the area off of La Playita, this has been an unprecedented bite for such close
proximity of the panga launching area. The Jaime Banks area has been holding larger
tuna to over one hundred pounds, though this spot is primarily suited for larger
boats. The Outer Gordo Banks produced a handful of larger yellowfin in recent days
as well, anglers trolling baits such as bolito and smaller skipjack landed tuna
close to 100 pounds.
Several pangas from La Playita got into the fall season’s first wahoo action this
week, nothing spectacular and not consistent from day to day, but at least these
elusive speedsters are started to show signs of waking up and becoming more active.
So far most of the wahoo landed have been from the area of the Inner Gordo Banks
and on trolled lures, particularly the Yo-Zuri Hydro Mag in Purple or Orange. The
wahoo that were caught weighed in the 25 to 40 pound class. We are waiting for the
water temperatures to drop down into the 80-degree range, this will usually help
entice the wahoo into striking more aggressively. Chihuil baitfish have been able
to be jigged up on the same banks and a couple of wahoo were also taken while slow
trolling these candy baits, we look forward to better baitfish action later in the
fall season, last year for some reason the Chihuil never wanted to come up.
The more consistent billfish action has been found off of Cabo San Lucas, a mix of
sailfish, striped, blue and black marlin. There was at least one nice black marlin
accounted for by a cruiser from Palmilla on Friday, it hit on a trolled skipjack
near the Gordo Banks and weighed approximately 400 pounds.
The combined panga fleets out of La Playita sent out approximately 96 charters for
the week with anglers accounted for a fish count of: 14 sailfish, 5 striped marlin,
98 dorado, 1,425 yellowfin tuna, 9 wahoo, 6 amberjack, 22 miscellaneous pargo, 15
sierra and 14 cabrilla.
Good Fishing, Eric
