Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques

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
May 4, 2014
Anglers –
With pristine paradise like weather now creating the ideal climate for
vacationing to the Los Cabos region, we are seeing only moderate crowds,
always seem to be a slack period right after spring break and IRS Tax dead
lines. It is now a great time to make the trip, time to get out on the
water and enjoy the perfect weather, warm sunshine in the mid 80s and also
an opportunity at world class fishing action.
With ocean water temperature in the upper 70s, anything could happen at any
time. Striped marlin has been the main deal offshore, spread throughout the
area, particularly abundant off of San Jose del Cabo, at times within a
couple miles of shore, nicer sized fish were encountered this week, with
many of the stripers ranging to 150 pounds or more. Often schooling marlin
were found feeding on congregated baitfish schools, mixed with monster
sized jack crevalle, this produces the method of “pickup and run billfish
battles”, as the scores of charter boats were racing towards feeders, first
to arrive and get their baits in the water had the best percentages of
hooking up. The marlin were also striking on bait being drift fishing at
varying depths, fly lining or with sinkers down deeper. With the lack of
caballito or mackerel available, the bait of choice as been moonfish and
other jurelitos (jacks) as well as rigged ballyhoo. Many charters were
accounting for multiple marlin per morning, this action became a bit more
scattered during the later part of the week.
Dorado continued to be found in limited numbers, being scattered from
inshore to offshore, in small groups, with sizes up to 25 pounds, anglers
might catch a couple of these gamefish, or you could also not see one all
day. Same with the elusive wahoo, they are in the area, but only one or
two, here or there, is actually being hooked and landed. Gary Weis was
visiting from Santa Monica, Ca. and caught a very impressive 66 lb. wahoo
while slow trolling a moonfish for bait off of Palmilla Point, he was on a
Gordo Banks super panga. Gary also caught a whooper 84 lb. amberjack, this
fish hit right after the wahoo did.
Panga charters were working the San Luis Bank for bonito, and an occasional
snapper, amberjack or cabrilla, but sea lions are becoming an increasing
frequent problem, forgot to mention the over abundance of pesky needlefish.
This is one of those crazy times, when it is actually easier to catch a
marlin than it is a snapper, yellowtail, dorado or tuna. Jack crevalle
showed more of a presence, found closer to shore on the roosterfish
grounds, as well as further offshore, feeding with the striped marlin. Many
of these jacks were in the 30 pound class. A few nicer sized roosterfish,
up to 30 pounds, are now being encountered while trolling baits close to
shore.
We have not heard of any local yellowfin tuna reports, should be time we
start to see signs of these fish to appear, conditions are just too
favorable, though more offshore baitfish activity could help to attract
these pelagic species.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 74 charters for this past week, with anglers
accounting for a fish count of: 56 striped marlin, 3 wahoo, 4 yellowtail,
34 amberjack, 12 huachinago, 15 cabrilla, 58 jack crevalle, 15 sierra, 28
dorado, 94 bonito and 22 roosterfish.
Good fishing, Eric
