Jan 5, 2004; 10:17PM - Spanish Mackerel Tricks

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. |

Anglers –
September 8, 2019
Tropical weather conditions now upon
us, we are seeing on and off sporadic
afternoon thunder showers, which are
common during this month. The passing
of Hurricane Juliette was barely felt,
as it had followed a path far off to
the west, humidity did increase and
there was more afternoon southern
breeze. Overall ocean conditions were
favorable, moderate swells, though
the wind did pick up later in the day.
No new storm system on the horizon
at this time, though with ocean water
temperatures now ranging 80 to 86
degrees, we do need to watch forecasts
closely the next few weeks. Light
crowds of visitors now, normal slack
period, as children are back in school
and summer season winds down.
In recent days there have been quality
sized sardinas being netted and
brought down from the north, anglers
are meeting these bait vendors on
grounds such as La Fortuna and Iman
Bank. Other bait options were slabs of
squid, caballito, ballyhoo, as well as
bolito and skipjack found on
offshore grounds. These same grounds is
where the most consistent action
has been found for the past month and
charters from East Cape are even
making the long two hour run daily,
guess they must have no better
opportunities in closer proximity.
Main action has been for dorado and
yellowfin tuna, an occasional wahoo,
limited mix of bottom species and some
scattered billfish action.
Significant boat pressure on these same
grounds and combined with large
concentrations of natural food sources,
the yellowfin tuna proved to be
more finicky from day to day. Best
chances for the tuna was with sardinas
and strips of squid, a few also
striking on larger baitfish. Catches
ranged
from one tuna, to over five per boat,
sizes ranged from 15 to 70 lb., a lot
of fish in the 20 to 60 lb. class.
More numbers of dorado were found a bit
closer to shore than where the
yellowfin bite was, still big numbers
of very small sized dorado, with a
smaller percentage of keeper sized
dorado in the mix. Sardinas for bait
was
best bet, also trolling hoochies and
feathers, as well as drift fishing
with strips of squid.
Off the bottom the highlights were a
few hog sized amberjack, up to 95 lb.,
one 57 kilo grouper hauled up by local
hand liner. A scattering of pargo,
pompano and triggerfish rounded out
bottom action. A few smaller sized
roosterfish were found trolling inshore
stretches near the local marina.
Marlin anglers were limited, as more
anglers were now targeting the tuna,
though a couple of black marlin hook
ups were reported, big fish that
ended up being lost after hours of
battling. Some smaller sized blue and
striped marlin were also reported, no
big numbers, but every day these
billfish are being encountered.
*T*he combined sportfishing fleet
launching out of the panga area from
Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out an
estimated 68 charters for the week and
anglers reported an approximate fish
count of: 6 striped marlin, 5 blue
marlin, 275 dorado, 8 wahoo, 145
yellowfin tuna, 6 leopard grouper, 14
Mexican bonito, 15 yellow snapper, 8
barred pargo, 8 pompano, 15 amberjack,
12 roosterfish, 4 jack crevalle and 38
triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
