CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MAY 2-8, 2005
WEATHER: We continued to have northwest winds this week and that meant there was only one day with partly cloudy skies. No rain fell on us and our daytime highs were in the low 90’s with night time lows in the mid 70’s. Sunny skies with cool mornings and evenings, low humidity, it just makes me feel good!
WATER: The California current has kept the water on the Pacific side of the cape cold with most of the area between 64 and 68 degrees, at least until the San Jaime where the water warmed up to 70-71 degrees. On the Cortez side of the cape the water has been much warmer with a ridge of water in the 77 degree range running from the Gorda to the 95 spot and then to the southeast. The strong California current has been at around 2 knots and collapsed the small hook of warm water we had just to the south so that now we just have a 5 mile wide band of warm water along the coast toward San Jose for about 5 miles. Elsewhere on the Cortez side the water has been in the mid 70’s. The Pacific side has been rough and the Cortez side to the east of the 95 spot has been decent, but a bit lumpy.
BAIT: There were Caballito available at the normal $2 per bait and if you went up toward San Jose early in the morning there was a chance of getting Sardinas at $20 per bucket.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Still the fish of the week, the bite on Striped Marlin has been improving. Most of the fish have been holding in the warmer water on the Cortez side out toward the 95 spot or up the coast past the Gorda Banks area, up around Punta Gorda. Between one and four fish have been caught per boat with a pretty even mix between live bait and lure caught fish.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Football Tuna in among the Dolphin were a fairly common catch this week and there were a few larger fish found as well, fish up to 30 pounds. Still none of the #100 fish showing up, but hopefully they will be here soon. A few fish were caught in the blind this week but most of them were associated with the Dolphin. Feathers in dark colors and cedar plugs worked well when the fish were found.
DORADO: The best bite on Dorado this week was on the Cortez side out around the 1000 fathom curve. There were strong current lines and rips in the area and they had the fish excited and feeding heavily. As the water has warmed up there have been more flying fish in the area and there were good concentrations of them out at the drop. This also bodes well for a showing of Blue Marlin soon!
WAHOO: There was a pretty fair pick on the Wahoo this week but most of the fish were found up around the Punta Gorda area by boats fishing for Marlin. The Gorda Banks had fish showing up there as well and Mackerel Scad rigged with a short wire bite leader and dropped to around 100 feet caught some nice fish for a few boats slow trolling them on the east side of the inner Gorda.
INSHORE: Most of the inshore bite was close to home with a half dozen decent Sierra per boat, fish to 8 pounds. There were also Jack Crevalle mixed in with them. A Roosterfish bite occurred of the beach at San Cristobal for a day or so with fish to 35 pounds being caught, but the wind only allowed for a few hours in the morning before the water became too rough to stay. There are big concentrations of Mullet moving into the area so hopefully the Roosterfish bite will pick up soon.
NOTES: Like I said last week, the fishing continues to improve. That’s a good thing and we hope it continues. This weeks report was written to a mix of songs off the internet, almost all of them blues by Sam “Lightnin” Hopkins, the legendary Texas bluesman. Until next week, Tight Lines!
