CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 10-16, 2002
WEATHER: Winter temperatures and September winds have been par for the course this week as our evening lows have been in the mid to low 60?s and daytime highs in the low to mid 80?s and the winds have been steady from the northwest at 12-18 knots. Partly cloudy skies have seemed to promise rain in the morning a few days but failed to deliver. This weather pattern has everyone here very confused. Do we have to go to Seattle to get warm? (Rio Ancho)
WATER: The steady winds have brought choppy but fishable conditions to the Pacific side of the Cape but the water there is still very cold compared to the Sea of Cortez. You had to get well past the San Jaime Banks in the Pacific to find water warmer than 70 degrees and the water close to home in that direction was in the low to mid 60?s for the most part. On the Sea of Cortez we had a band of warmer water extending from the coast out to a distance of about 7 miles where the temperatures ranged from 72 to 81 degrees with the warmer water further north and earlier in the week. This band of warm water had become thinner and the currents had extended it filament-like into the Pacific off of the tip of the Cape. Out past the 95 and 1150 spots the temperatures had dropped into the mid 60?s. As of Sunday night this warm band had disappeared and the only water over 71 degrees was on the Gorda Banks and not until you got past there by 10 miles did it get up past 75 degrees. (Entre dos aguas)
BAIT: Pretty much anything you wanted in the way of larger baits could be found this week with Mullet, Mackerel and Caballito going for the usual $2 per bait from the bait boats. I have no idea if there were any Sardinas available. (Samba pa? ti)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Early in the week the Marlin fishing was so poor as to be almost non-existent. There were fish to be found but it was hard to get anything to bite. An occasional boat had fantastic luck but I would have to say that the percentage of successful boats was around 10%, with 80% seeing fish. Most of the fish found were on the Sea of Cortez side up past the Gorda banks area but a few boats that were willing to go the distance and get beat up found fair results on the
Pacific, well to the west of the San Jaime Banks. It was not uncommon to see 20 tailing fish and have everyone of them refuse a live bait. As the week came to a conclusion the bite seemed to pick up a bit and the success rate climbed to around 30%, with the fish coming from the same areas. Best results were on live Mackerel with lures coming in second by a slim margin, and the lures in lighter colors seemed to do better than the dark ones. (Interludio)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Again, this has been a non-event this week with very few Yellowfin found. Every time I saw a Tuna flag I went to check it out and almost every time found that they were being flow because the boat had caught Skipjack and needed to fly some sort of flag for the client. The few Yellowfin that were caught were smaller fish in the 10-15 pound class and were found while trolling in the blind, mostly on the Pacific side. Dorado size feathers and smaller Marlin lures were what did hook the few Yellowfin caught. (Santa Cecilia)
DORADO: You had to get up past the Gorda Banks, into the warmer water to get a decent Dorado this week. A few were caught closer to home in the warm water band but the big boys were north. About 35% of the boats returned from a trip with a Dorado flag at the end of the week, well up from the earlier 15% posted at start. Close to home the average size was only 12 pounds while northward the average increased to 25 pounds. Most of the larger fish were caught on Marlin lures. (Amor Pecador)
WAHOO: I did hear reports of a few Wahoo caught and did see a few flags for these fish but no one could (or would?) give me any more information on them. My guess is blind strike fish while searching for Marlin at Gorda Banks. (Tu Nombre me Sabe a Yerba)
INSHORE: Never mind the Pacific side unless you wanted to try for Pargo. There was a two day bite this side of the lighthouse but it was not steady as the school moved around a lot. On the Sea of Cortez the Roosterfishing drew a lot of interest from anglers as many days that was the only action available. Roosters from 15 to 30 pounds were found outside of the Westin and off of La Laguna in San Jose and they would eat small Caballito and Mullet, but just terrorized Mackerel. Schools of cruising Jack Crevalle added a dose of excitement now and then. For variety toss in a small Dorado or two here and there. (La Lagrima)
NOTES: I still find it amazing that a boat can come in flying one flag, unload it?s clients, go fuel and return flying three flags. Must be excellent fishing on the way too and from the fuel dock!
Now as far as the fishing goes, there is not much I can say. We are all surprised at the water temperatures since earlier in the year we were expecting warm water to arrive much sooner than normal. Now it is later than usual. Go figure. About all that can be said is it can only get better!
This weeks report has been written to the wonderful music of my new neighbor, Paco Serrano. I loaned him a few CD?s last night and he lent me his newest release ?Amor Pecador? (Til the end
of time), recording studio: volumen zero, recording engineer: Alex Ornelas. Paco does all the instruments on this album and if you have listened to the music of Otmar Liebert (Nuevo Flamenco) I know you will like Paco?s sounds as well. Check him out at www.pacoserrano.com and enjoy.
