CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 6-12, 2005
WEATHER: We still have the wind that has been pestering us for so long, and we wish it would go away! The breeze has been pretty steady from the WNW all week with the exception of two nights when it died down and yesterday when it switched and came from the WSW. I know that later in the year we will look back and wish we had this cool wind with us again, but for now it is getting tiresome. Our night time lows have been in the range of 58-62 here in town; reports from friends who live on the Pacific side say they have recorded 54 degrees there. Our day time highs have been up to 91. Still no rain, but a good fog band moved through on Saturday.
WATER: If you drew a line from east to west across the peninsula a few miles above Cabo and recorded the temperature difference you would see a 17 degree difference with 57 degrees along the Pacific coast and 74 degrees on the Sea of Cortez. Guess that almost tells the whole story, huh? The warm water on the Cortez side extends from 1 mile here in Cabo to 7 miles offshore up at the Punta Gorda area. From there until 20 miles out the water is on the mid 60’s, then it warms to around 69 degrees. The cold water is green and there is not a lot of good, solid blue water around, at least not until you get way off shore, up around the East Cape. The Pacific has been almost un-fishable; the few boats that have gone out there in the mornings have had a quick return. The Cortez side has had much better surface conditions once you got past the Gray Rock area.
BAIT: Back to getting Mackerel at the usual $2 per bait plus a few mullet, there were some Sardinas early in the week at San Jose for $20 a bucket.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Striped Marlin were the Billfish of the week as I did not hear of any Swordfish caught. There were boats fishing for them but I did not hear results going around town. The Striped Marlin were in the warmer water starting from the Gorda Banks area to up around the Estiladera area. A lot more fish were seen than were hooked. Some boats were getting up to four fish a day and a few boats reported as many as six. Live bait was the favorite and lures came in second with green/yellow working well.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: There was a good bite for football Yellowfin from 8-15 pounds along the temperature-color break 18 miles out at 160 degrees early in the week, but boats working the area later on reported little luck. An occasional fish was caught around the Gorda area but there was nothing consistent. Finding the Dolphin was the key, but only one out of 6 pods held any Tuna.
DORADO: Just like last week and the week before. I think I saw a total of 15 Dorado flags this week, and that should say it all. Wait for warmer water.
WAHOO: What?
INSHORE: A repeat of last week’s section. Rough water on the Pacific side of the Cape made most of the boats concentrate on the area from the lighthouse and around to the arch, plus along the beach on the Cortez side of the Cape. There were still Sierra being caught and some of them were very nice sized, from 6-10 pounds. One positive note was that the cold water brought the Yellowtail with it. The bite turned on fairly well in the middle of the week with fish being found from the lighthouse to Gray Rock. Live bait dropped deep and iron worked deep caught the most fish, but trolling plugs along the coast in 60-100 feet of water worked well also. There were Roosterfish caught on the Cortez side, fish to 40 pounds were reported both from Pangas and from the beach. Red Snapper were biting as well if you could get a live bait right into the rocks and not get snagged.
NOTES: Seems more like spring time that summer here, when the sun goes down and the wind is blowing I need a light jacket and long pants. We all know that it can’t last forever, but I wish it would end soon! This weeks report was written to the sounds of John Grisham on the 1990 release “Dawg’s”, and it is worth a listen! Until next week, tight lines!
