| Not all animals with the word fish in their names count as fish. |
| Though their names may suggest otherwise, cuttlefish, starfish, and jellyfish aren’t actually fish. Generally-speaking, fishes must have skulls, gills, and fins. Surprisingly, though, not all fishes have proper spines. |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JULY 15-21, 2002
WEATHER: Hot is the operative word for the week! We have had daytime temperatures in the
90’s all week and the nighttime lows have gotten into the high 70’s. Toss in a bit of humidity and
very light winds and no clouds to speak of and what you have is what the girls call a “glistening”
effect. A very nice change from the cold weather we were having last month! (Shame Shame
Shame)
WATER: Again, the word is hot! At least hotter than we have been having. The coldest
temperatures are on the Pacific side and we are seeing those at around 74 degrees. The Cortez
side is up in the 80-84 degree range and up until Thursday the water was clearing up. Then we
had a bit of a green tint move in. The surface conditions on the Pacific side have been fishable but
sometimes a bit choppy within 10 miles of the coast. For some reason, once you got out past that
the water calmed down and the wind died. On the Cortez side it has been great in the mornings
but in the afternoons the winds shifted occasionally and it got choppy a few days. (Sugaree)
BAIT: Mackerel and Caballito at the usual $2 per bait. No word on Sardinas. (Medicine Man)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: We had a couple of good days but the fishing has been hit and miss. One boat can
come in with three flags flying and others in the same area don’t see a fish. The average size has
been 120 pounds. Most of the Marlin
sighted have been in small groups (Striped Marlin) and it has been an even split on lures or live
bait. The Blue Marlin are showing up now and they have been almost totally on lures, though
some of the boats are starting to load up their tuna tubes if they can find the bigger baits in the
morning first thing. The Blues have been running from 200 to 400 pounds. Most of the fish have
come from the Cortez side out around the 94 and 1150
spots. (Barefootin’”
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Ouch, not a good showing on the Tuna this week. I had reports of a few
boats finding fish on Dolphin, and those were respectable fish in the 40-80 pound range, but I
never saw the fish myself. From the flags flying and the reports I am getting from different
Captains and Crews I don’t think that there are many Yellowfin out there right now. Not even
many footballs are being caught. Those fish that were found were reported to have been caught
on cedar plugs run far back and fast, about 9 knots. (Life Is Hard)
DORADO: A few fish, just like last week, but most of them have been very nice size, between 25
and 50 pounds. Some of the boats have come in flying one, maybe
two flags, most of the boats have not had more than two Dorado flags this week. On Friday
someone found a
piece of wood that produced multiple catches for the first few boats, but boats 6 through 26
struck out. (Hey You)
WAHOO: I hate to repeat myself, but “what hoo”? A few boats flying Wahoo flags, maybe one
a
day or less. Got To Find My Baby)
INSHORE: Most of the Pangas have been focusing on Snapper and Grouper, just like last week.
There were some nice Roosters caught but they are not here in force yet. Most of the action has
taken place on the Cortez side between Grey Rock and San Jose. (Let Me In)
NOTES: The fishing is picking up every day! We are finally getting the water conditions
we have been waiting for and I expect it to bust loose anytime in the next week or two. As you
may be able to tell from the brevity of this weeks and last weeks reports, the fishing has been
slow, but
improving every day. Conditions great, but not a lot of action. I have been places where the
action we have had
would be considered great, but I think we are a bit spoiled here in Cabo! Stay tuned, I expect to
be able to provide better news any day now! Written to the beautiful guitar music of Johnny
Winter on the 1991 Virgin Records release “Let Me In”.
