CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT JUNE 16- JUNE 22, 2003
WEATHER: Great weather this week with very little wind at the beginning of the week, then on
Wednesday night it began to blow again. It has been blowing every night since then but the wind
has died down around sunrise. Our warm daytime temperatures have reached the high 90’s and
nighttime lows have been in the low 60’s, and once again we received no rain and had very little
cloud cover. (Good Times Bad Times)
WATER: There has not been a big change in the water conditions since last weeks report
except for the fact that the daytime surface temperatures have been about 2 degrees higher all
around. The Pacific side is still rough, due to the continuing northwest winds, and still has cold
water, with most of it in the low 60’s. The Sea of Cortez has had great conditions once you get
past the Chileno area and closer to home it has been only a little choppy, not really rough. We
have been seeing the average temperature in the calm water at around 81-82 degrees with an
occasional marking of 84. (Dazed And Confused)
BAIT: No change from last week, most of the bait this week was Mackerel, and they were the
normal $2 per bait. There was Mullet available as well at the same price but Caballito were
scarce. (Whole Lotta Love)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Lots of Striped Marlin out in front of the arches, and most of the action has been
less than four miles offshore. The only problem has been that most of the fish have had lock-jaw
and won’t bite. A few boats found the right fish and caught two or three, but most boats only had
one blue flag flying. The bite was 80% live bait and the lures that worked were dark colored.
There was a smaller concentration of fish found up east of the Gordo banks but they were
suffering from the same disease (lock-jaw). Some Blue Marlin are being found, but not with any
regularity yet, and all of them have been reported from the area east of the Gordo Banks.
(Ramble On)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Find the porpoise, find the Tuna, that was the story for the week on
Yellowfin. Even the large Black Porpoise, not known as a good indicator for Tuna, were found
to be holding large fish this week. Sightings were made of fish in the #100 mixed in with these
big porpoise, and some of them were caught, but they were very boat shy. There were smaller
Tuna to be found with the normal indicator porpoise and they were running to 35 pounds with a
15 pound average. Cedar plugs and small dark colored feathers were the key with the plugs
having a decided advantage. Most of the smaller fish were found out from the arch to the Pacific
side and the larger fish were found past the 95 and 1150 spots. (Immigrant Song)
DORADO: Close to home and all the way up the coast on the Cortez side to Punta Gorda.
Most of the fish have been less than 2 miles off shore and finding the Frigate birds was the key.
Find the birds working and then tossing live bait resulted in some boats doing very well. Of
course, the normal live bait dropback after hooking one up sure got the numbers up there. Some
boats were getting up to a dozen fish, some were only getting one, but the fish were there. Most
of the fish close to shore were less than 25 pounds, but there were bigger fish to be found
offshore, just not in the same numbers. Bright colored lures were the key for those trolling
plastic. (Misty Mountain Hop)
WAHOO: There were still a few Wahoo caught this week but the numbers were down quite a
bit. The fish found were incidental fish and scattered. (Stairway To Heaven)
INSHORE: The inshore action this week was Roosterfish, Jack Crevalle and large Sierra.
Most of the action was just between the arch and Cabo Falso and slow trolled live bait was the
trick. Roosters to 50 pounds, Jack Crevalle to 45 pounds and Sierra to 10 pounds kept rods bent
for those looking for short trips and good action. It sure was easy to run through a lot of bait
though! (Black Dog)
NOTES: A few big Tuna got all of us excited, hopefully it is a sign of things to come. As the
moon gets smaller the Marlin bite should turn on. There is still lots of Tuna off the East Cape, but
they are 35 miles out. The Dorado bite there dropped off as ours started to turn on. With our
fingers crossed, the fishing should continue to improve! This weeks report was written to the
sounds of Led Zeppelin on their 1990 Atlantic release “Remasters”, disc #1. Rock on Robert,
Jimmy and John! This week, just maybe, some of you may be familiar with the music and figured
out the group on the first song. Until next week, tight lines!
