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! <'))))>< |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 19-25, 2002
WEATHER: We had an interesting week weather wise here as the evening temperature dropped
into the high 60’s and low 70’s in the middle of the week. Nice and cool, great for sitting around
on the patio and relaxing! The daytime highs stayed in the mid 90’s and we had very little cloud
cover and no rain. Hurricane Fausto passed 900 miles to the south of us and had no effect on the
weather here. Night time temperatures returned to the low 80’s at the end of the week.(Shoot
Out The Lights)
WATER: Our water on the Pacific side of the Cape has remained in the 76-82 degree range and
the Cortez side has remained in the 82-89 range. The dividing line was the Cape with the Pacific
water staying cool in a line to the west and north of the Cape. Hurricane Fausto brought large,
long storm swells to our area and there was a bit of windy weather early in the week that had died
away by Friday. This resulted in pretty rough conditions late in the day from Wednesday through
the rest of the wek on the Pacific side. (Two Left Feet)
BAIT: Caballito and Mullet were easy to get at the normal $2 per bait but this week I saw no
Mackerel in the bait wells. Again, no word on the Sardinas. (I Ain’t Going To Drag My Feet
No More)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: It must be the full moon affecting the bite because suddenly the Marlin developed
closed mouths. When you toss baits to a dozen of them and not one shows an interest there has
to be something going on. There were still Striped Marlin being caught this week, just not in the
numbers we were seeing the past two weeks until this weekend, when the bite picked up again on
the Pacific side. Blue Marlin were still around and biting this week, but again, not in the numbers
of the past two weeks. The Marlin that were caught were almost all on bait and were found on
both sides of the Cape, with concentrations at the 95 spot, 1150 spot and at the Pacific banks.
(Tear Stained Letter)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: There were some nice sized Tuna reported this week early on from the
outside of the Gordo Banks. These fish were in the 80-150 pound class and were found with
Dolphin. The bite was good for one day then the fish and Dolphin moved on. On Wednesday
there was a good bite on school fish (35-45 pound) associated with Dolphin in front of the Grey
Rock area. In other areas there were football Tuna found on occasion but not in any thick
schools or great numbers. (From Galway to Graceland)
DORADO: Dorado seemed to be the fish of the week and even with them the bite dropped off a
bit. Most boats were getting between two and six Dorado per trip with the sizes ranging between
15 and 25 pounds with an occasional larger fish, to 70 pounds, tossed into the mix. Best action
was with live bait and many of the boats drifted or slow trolled live bait in areas where they had
either raised or caught a fish on the troll. Sometimes boring, it did produce fish for some of the
boats. (Borrowed Time)
WAHOO: Other than Wahoo found under a dead whale 38 miles out, there were very few taken
this week. Those that were found were caught in the blind while looking for other fish. (Back
Street Slide)
INSHORE: The focus for most of the Pangas this week was Dorado, and most of the boats did
well using live bait slow trolled just off the coast. The best action was on the Pacific side but the
Roosterfish bit well on the Sea of Cortez side off of the Westin and up around La Laguna past
San Jose. The Snapper and Grouper bite was sporadic, perhaps due to the full moon. (Walking
on a Wire)
NOTES: The action we were having the past two weeks dropped off a bit early in the week but I
think it has a lot to do with the giant full moon on Wednesday night. At 6:45 on Thursday
morning it was about 10 degrees above the horizon and looked like a giant tangerine! The bite
picked up again by mid-week so things are looking better. We have last quarter moon on the 31st
and new moon on Sept. 7th so those are dates to look forward to, the time between and just after
them should be great. I’ll let you know either way, and until then, Tight Lines! This weeks
report written to the music of Richard Thompson on the three CD set “The History of Richard
Thompson”, 1993, RYKODISC. If you like Van Morrison or Neil Young and haven’t listened to
anything by Richard Thompson, you owe it to yourself to check him out.
