Cabo Fish Report
March 19-25, 2007
WEATHER: Last week was hot but this week was a bit more normal for the time of year with our daytime highs averaging the mid 80’s instead of the mid 90’s and the nighttime lows were in the low 70’s. Part of the reason was the frontal system that moved into the area on Wednesday evening, the winds kept the temperature down a bit. No rain arrived with the system but it did bring in a few clouds so we had partly cloudy skies in the middle of the week. We ended on a warm note as the winds died down and things warmed back up.
WATER: The strong winds brought with them cooler water from the north so we saw a decrease in the water temperature on the Pacific side of the Cape. Just on the tip of the Cape we had water temperatures that dropped as low as 62 degrees on Friday while the Pacific for the most part stayed at a fairly decent 67-68 degrees from the coast and to the west side of the San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks. On the Cortez side we had warmer water at a 71-72 degree range from the Gorda Banks and southwest to the 1150 area and it extended eastward from there. The water immediately to the south of the Cape were in the 64-67 degree range and very green. Blue water was warm water and that was the key to the fishing this week. Find the warmer water and you found the fish.
BAIT: This week the bait was 90% Mackerel with 10% Caballito and they were the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: There were two area that produced billfish this week and they were both in choppy water areas. On the Pacific side of the Cape the San Jaime produced consistently with some boats able to release up to 4 fish per day. There were also small 20-40 pound Mako sharks in the area. On the Cortez side, the Punta Gorda area up around the Los Frailles produced Striped Marlin as well as a few reported Blue Marlin. In both areas the water was choppy due to the wind, but the fish were there.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Boy, this week was a repeat of last week as far as the Tuna were concerned. There were reports of fish found on both the Cortez and the Pacific side out around 25 to 40 miles. Quite a few boats went looking for the Tuna but only a lucky few got into them. I heard of a lot of 40 mile trips that did not see any fish or found Porpoise but couldn’t get bit. The lucky boats found fish that were small, most of them were footballs in the 10-pound class, but there were a few fish that pushed the 25-pound mark. Little tuna, yes, but at least there were some found. Hopefully there will be some bigger ones in the area soon. Cedar plugs were once again the key to getting bit, feathers were not doing very well and I did hear of one boat that broke out the Rapallas and did well on the jointed lures.
DORADO: No change from last week as the lucky boats were catching one fish a day but they were good size, in the 30-40 pound class. There was no concentration of fish and they were scattered.
WAHOO: I did not hear of any Wahoo this week.
INSHORE: Even the inshore fishing was spotty this week. There was some Sierra, a few Yellowtail and a scattering of bottom fish, but no great catches to be had.
NOTES: There was almost no change in this weeks fishing from the results we were having last week. The only difference was that the water conditions were a bit on the choppy side during the middle of the week, still fishable and as a matter of fact the boats that did go out on Wednesday and Thursday seemed to have better luck than the boats that went out in less windy conditions. Until next week, keep your fingers crossed that things improve!
