Tip&Trick Description 1:
I love fishing for Spanish mackerel, so I do it often. When I shove off to go fishing, I often stumble upon a very large school of mackerel, but sometimes they all don't want to feed and reject anything you throw at them. When this happenes, a good trick to get them to bite is to get them exited so they just want to catch what the think is a little fish just for the fun of it. To do this you would want to swich immediately to anywhere from a 1/4oz to a 1/2oz kastmaser-(like a spoon but a lot better). I make a long cast to where the fish are and as soon as that lure hits the water I begin to reel in just fast enough to get the kastmaser poping out of the water kinda like a fleeing baitfish. After it jumps out of the water a couple times keep it fast just below the surface. Do this at least 4 times during your retrieve and pretty soon you will have dozens of mackerel chasing your lure just for the sport of it until the lure bites back and then you get to have all the fun. |
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
When you get those swarms of mackerel chasing the your line, sometimes your lure will come to the boat a little early and the fish will ignore the katmaster and just swim away. To prevent this you want to go to the opposite end of the boat, make your cast, and then maneuver the lure so it will swim parallel to the boat, instead of directly at it, taking the mackerel with it. You will be catching mackerel right at the side of the boat. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
These techniques have worked for me many times and gotten me coolers full of fish and I hope they work for you, too. Good fishing till next time. |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MARCH 21-27, 2005
WEATHER: One day the wind blows, the next day there is no wind. This is typical weather for Cabo this time of year but it can make for interesting fishing, for sure! Thankfully most of the week the wind was tolerable, blowing from the north-west or the west and not coming from the south or east. No rain this week and our day time highs were around the low 80’s with the night time lows around the low to mid 60’s.
WATER: Every day that the wind blew the conditions on the Pacific side of the Cape began to erode. If the wind blew for two days, the second day became “Victory at Sea” kind of conditions. With the cold water being pushed into our area by the currents from the north, most of the fish were looking for warmer water anyway so most of the boats ended up fishing to the east or north on the Sea of Cortez. In those areas the surface conditions were much better and the water was warmer. On the Pacific, the cold 67 degree water extended from the shore and out past the San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks. Along with being cold, the water was green. On the Cortez side the water close to shore was warmer, mostly in the 70-72 degree range and blue.
BAIT: This was a hard week for getting bait. Some of the bait Pangas limited their customers to 5 baits per day in an attempt to keep everyone happy. What was available was brought in from San Jose and was available at $2 per bait, mostly Mackerel.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin are still shy, but I had a customer this week that fished for 12 hours for two days and managed to release two Striped Marlin and one Blue Marlin, along with having shots at a few more fish. All of his action, along with all the Marlin action that I heard of came from the Cortez side of the Cape and happened close to shore, actually within 5 miles for the Striped, and 30 miles out for the Blue. What a lot of the guys have been looking for this past week were Swordfish. With the water cool and green to the Pacific side and the south, there have been quite a few of them sighted and a few hooked up. Never here in any large numbers, this is the time of year we start seeing them.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Look for the Porpoise and if you get lucky there will be Tuna mixed in. That was the key for this week, and the key word there is “lucky”. Many of the Porpoise pods found did not have any Tuna with them, so you often had to try and find as many pods as possible. Those fish that were caught were mostly in the 10-15 pound range with a few to 40 pounds. Cedar plugs and feathers worked and boats that were able to get a good bite going found themselves able to catch a limit. Other boats, not so lucky, ended up a trip with just one Tuna in the box.
DORADO: Again the floating Kelp was the key to a good Dorado catch, but the currents were not taking much of it to the warmer Cortez side. We found a lot of small paddies in the current lines at the San Jaime Banks, but with the water cold and green there were no fish associated with them. Dorado that were found were on the Cortez side and most of them ranged from 6-20 pounds.
WAHOO: The Wahoo bite improved a bit this last week, but there were still not a lot of them caught. The full moon on the 25th may have had something to do with the improved bite; it seems to happen that way. Most of the fish were 25-35 pounds but a few were reported at 80-90 pounds. Dark colored lures run very long, I mean back on the 12th wake, did very well on Wahoo, as did Marauders run close to the boat.
INSHORE: Just as last week, the Sierra continued to move around. Most of the fish have been 4-8 pounds and now have been found on the Cortez side of the Cape, the green water on the Pacific pushed them around. Along with Sierra there has been a good bite on Skipjack to 10 pounds along with some small Dorado. For anglers working the bottom or mid depths there have been a few nice Pargo and Amberjack mixed in and only a few Grouper and Yellowtail. Next to the beach a few small Roosterfish have been found as well with sizes mostly around 5-8 pounds
.
NOTES: I have not seen any Gray Whales this week and have seen only a few Humpbacks. The fish have been scattered and not here in great numbers so having the Whales around made things better, now we have to be satisfied with the Porpoise! Having the Swordfish begin to show makes every trip more interesting, as this is probably the premier billfish available. Catching one of them is like winning the lottery! This weeks report was written to the music of Boz Scaggs on the 1994 Virgin Records release “Some Change”. Until next week, Tight Lines!
