Tip&Trick Description 1:
My first time fishing Lake Cachuma was this last weekend April 27th 2002 and I will let you in on a secret this is a fine lake with great staff excellent fishing and abundant campsites. I was very impressed with the guys at the marina ( Jim and Allen) for giving us great tips for fishing their lake without holding back any information necessary for a first timer to their lake. Right out of the marina he told me to troll straight thru the center of the lake and we would be sure to get bit and he was right. Less than 10 minutes from the launch ramp right where he suggested we caught the first fish a nice largemouth bass about 3-4 lbs and lost the first hook up as we were surprised to get a strike so soon. This fish jumped clear out of the water and fought like a much larger fish than it actually ended up being. |

Tip&Trick Description 2:
We released the bass and continued anxious to get to the trout which is what we were after. On the way to the next spot Jim and Allen had given us directions to we saw 4 deer on the shore grazing like they owned the place (which I guess they did) We set our sites on the points jetting out along the far side of the lake about 200 feet offshore. Instantly off one of the points both the reels went off as we were trolling rainbow trout colored Yo-zuri Emperor Minnows and L-Jack series lures on 4 and 6 lb test at a fairly slow troll. First fish fell off but I managed to get mine to the boat and into it for supper that evening. We did a turn around and went right back over the same spot and sure enough another missed opportunity. Back we went again with another 2 strikes managing to get one in the boat for a better meal for the 3 of us eating that night. Back and forth again for nothing and we decided to give the opposite bank a try. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
On the other side of the lake were the serious bass guy's fishing the bow of their sleek boats with the chairs and trolling motor on the bow. We steered clear of them and moved again about 200 feet off the shoreline and continued our trolling pattern slow and parallel to shore. We started noticing the wind more and more as we headed back towards the launch ramp noticing there was only one jacket made it to the boat and it was mine! We again managed to get another rainbow to strike right out of the water it jumped and then a small battle and into the boat it came. We were done now 1 fish each for dinner and one released bass in about 2 hours fishing time. Now it was back to camp to make dinner and get warm. A jacket is a good thing to bring on any lake as the wind always decides to blow in the afternoon. I must tell you that the guy's at the marina tackle shop know their stuff about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Without their tips we may have come home empty handed as several others had that day. Good luck if you get a chance to fish Lake Cachuma and be sure to say hello the the great guys at the tackle shop near the launch ramp it may pay off big time for you in the long run.....Fish on! <'))))>< |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
December 29, 2013
Anglers –
We are all now enjoying Christmas Holiday times, with the last week of
2013 now upon us, families and friends all gathering to reminiscent of
past times and to experience new adventures. What greater place than
Los Cabos to bring in the New Year, where the winter climate has been
very mild and vacationers are soaking up warm sunshine, participating
in many outdoor activities.
We have seen ocean water temperatures now drop down into the 71/73
degree range, this is normal for the time of year, clarity has become
more greenish in areas, but still the water is not what you would call
dirty. Anglers were finding fair numbers of late season dorado spread
out throughout the region, often times found very close to shore,
where concentrations of ballyhoo and other baitfish have been
attracting them. More often they are found in smaller sized schools,
striking on lures, rigging ballyhoo and live caballito. Sizes averaged
10 to 15 lb., with some larger dorado to 20 pounds also accounted for.
Finding yellowfin tuna was much harder, with cooler currents and lack
of sardina baitfish, no tuna action was being reported. There have
been more school of Bonita moving in over the structure, these are the
good eating variety, also have sharp teeth, almost like sierra,
scrappy fighters on light tackle, readily striking on trolled rapalas
and retrieved jigs, weighed up to 10 lb. Cooling water temperatures
have brought in more sierra along the shoreline, these aggressive fish
are hitting on small rapalas and hoochies, the action is best early in
the morning, if new sources of sardinas are located that will really
help the overall inshore fishing action. There has been shortages of
caballito as well as no sardinas at all to speak of, many charters are
relying on lures and rigged ballyhoo. We are anticipating reports of
schooling mackerel moving in on the local fishing grounds, but this
has not happened yet, it seems to be the season of changing baitfish
migrations, will be interesting to see what happens during this cold
water transition period, every season can be different.
Only a handful of wahoo are being reported, these elusive gamefish
fish never really did go on a consistent bite this season, with ocean
temperatures now in the low 70s, this is typically when wahoo start to
migrate in a southern direction to follow preferred temperate
currents. Though we do expect we will see a few more wahoo in the fish
counts before they vanish for the winter, often these fish will bite
later in the day during this period of colder water, sunshine seems to
warm surface temperature up and gets them more active.
Anglers have found minimal success searching for bottom species,
finding more triggerfish, skipjack and bonita than anything else. The
month of December was windy more often than not, northern winds were
persistent, with only a few days of calmer conditions mixed in, this
stirs ocean conditions, scatters bait schools and makes it hard to
find productive bottom action.
Billfish are scattered on the offshore grounds, no concentrations,
striking lures and ballyhoo and caballito. Some striped marlin were
being hooked while drift fishing baits deeper over the areas where
they were seen occasionally free jumping of tailing on the surface. We
all know this is the season where a huge striped marlin frenzy could
develop on any given day, if any bait concentration is encountered be
prepared for action.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los
Cabos Marina sent out approximately 88 charters for this past week,
with anglers accounting for a fish count of:
6 striped marlin, 3 wahoo, 85 bonito, 134 sierra, 15 roosterfish, 165
dorado, 5 hammerhead shark and 22 pargo.
Good fishing, Eric
