Tip&Trick Description 1:
Here’s a fishing story.
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation
took place:
First guy:
’You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this
weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the
house next weekend.’
Second guy:
’That is nothing, I had to promise my wiife that I will build her a new
deck for the pool.’
Third guy:
’Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will
remodel the kitchen for her.’
They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not
said a word. So they asked him.!
’You haven’t said anything about what you had to do to be able to come
fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?’
Fourth guy:
’I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm,
gave the wife a nudge and said, ’Fishing or Sex’ and she said, ’Wear a
sweater.’

Cabo Fish Report
April 24-30, 2006
WEATHER: We continued this week with partly cloudy skies and our daytime highs in the low 90’s. In the evenings we saw lows in the mid 60’s and a slight increase in wind although the wind died down later in the middle of the week, then picked up again over the weekend. No rain of course.
WATER: The wind and currents kept the Pacific side cold for the first part of the week, and the water green, but by the end of the week the wind had died down and the warm water had pushed across the Cape and encroached to the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Banks. At the end of the week this warm water was evenly spread across the Cortex side of the Cape and up to the two Pacific banks and it was a uniform 73-74 degrees up to 15 miles to the south of us and there it dropped to 69-70 degrees. Just a mile or two past the San Jaime and the Golden Gate, the water dropped in temperature from 73 degrees to 65 degrees.
BAIT: There was a mix of Caballito and Mackerel this week at the usual $2 per bait, and there were reports of some Sardinas as well at $20 per scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Marlin bite really fell off this week for most of the fleet. I did see a few boats flying multiple Marlin flags but that was definitely not the norm. If I had to guess, it would be that 30-40% of the boats were able to get a Marlin to the boat for a release. The fish appeared to have moved a bit at the weekend with boats reporting good action on Striped Marlin on deep dropped live bait at the lighthouse on the Pacific side. The water was a bit bumpy but the action was worth it if you were there on the tide change. While the bite on Striped Marlin fell off, the warming water did bring us our first flurry of Blue Marlin, if only for a short while. The water just past the 95 Spot produced a few Striped Marlin on Friday and there were also reports of several Blue Marlin in the #250 range caught. The big fuss was over the reported #820 Blue caught by one of the boats in the same area. #820? Guess they killed it, and not even for money in a tournament, sigh. Anyway, hopefully a sign of things to come, maybe it’s time to break out the big gear!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: I think the Long-liners and Purse Seiners ended up with all the Tuna, there were very few footballs reported this week. Perhaps this coming week will have the Tuna show up at the Pacific banks.
DORADO: There were still a few Dorado out there but not in the numbers we had last week. All in all it seems as if the bite slowed way down for everything this week.
WAHOO: There were a couple of early morning fish reported from the Gorda Banks and the 1,000 fathom line south-east of the 95 Spot, but that was about it for Wahoo.
INSHORE: Inshore seemed to be the place to go this week as almost all the action was within 100 yards of the beach. Offshore it was slow fishing but the action just off the beach was red-hot on occasion with roving schools of Sierra tearing up the surface and Roosterfish to 25 pounds chasing finger Mullet onto the beach. The majority of the action described took place on the Pacific side this week; you just had to time it right as there were some very big swells early in the week. A few Yellowtail continued to be found off of the rocky points and bottom fishing resulted in some nice Snapper, Grouper and Amberjack, all to 15 pounds with the exception of a few Jacks to 40 pounds.
NOTES: This weeks short report was written to the music of Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan on the 1989 double CD “Fire and the Fury”. Live from the L.A. Sports Arena. Rock on!
