Tip&Trick Description 1:
When fishing for aggressive or active pike try using shallow running stick bait and retrieve the lure until it is about 10-15 feet away from the boat/pier. Then give it a jerk. The lure will create a bright flash that triggers the pike to bite. This technique works best in clear to mildly clear or stained water. You can try this for bass too. |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JULY 4-10, 2005
WEATHER: Clear skies at the end of the week were welcome after expecting cloud cover from the disturbance and tropical storm that had starting developing down around Acapulco. We had expected to get a heavy cloud deck as it worked its way up the west coast. Didn’t happen and we are glad! What did occur was glassy water during the middle of the week and then the winds picked up again on Friday, continuing through out the weekend, but as I said, clear skies. Day time highs were in the mid 90’s and night time lows in the mid 70’s.
WATER: At the beginning of the week the water on the Pacific side turned very choppy, then calmed at the middle of the week. At the end of the week it had chopped up again. It looked as if the California current started to push hard and brought the cool water to wrap around the point again as the water was in the high 60’s to low 70’s on the Pacific side out to the banks, and green as well. This water wrapped around the Cape and continued up to just short of the Gordo banks and out to a distance of 20 miles. Outside of this cold plume the water was 76-78 degrees and blued up again, but was choppy.
BAIT: Caballito and Mackerel at $2 per bait with a few Mullet in the mix.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The cold water on the Pacific side brought in reports of Swordfish and a Panga was reported to have caught one weighing at just around 160 pounds. Striped Marlin were out there but it was 25 miles before you got into any serious action. Fish were found closer to the Cape, as close as 6 miles, but there was nothing steady or consistent about them. I did not hear of any large Blue or Black Marlin in our area this week, but I am going off of reports from other Captains and anglers received over the last 1 ½ days as I just returned from a boat delivery to Puerto Vallarta.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: I did not hear of any large Tuna this week, but then again I was gone for most of the week. The fish I did see come in this weekend were all smaller fish in the football and school category. I heard a rumor (that’s all it was!) that there were big fish found at the Gorda Banks, but talked to no one who could give me any solid information on that. The football and school fish were found 25-35 miles to the south-southwest, right around where there was a temperature break from 72 to 74 degrees.
DORADO: Apparently you needed to go up the Sea of Cortez, chasing the warmer water for the Dorado this week. The cold water chased them out and few fish were found close to home.
WAHOO: I can give you very little information on the Wahoo bite. I did see a few flags flying this week end but did not get a chance to talk to the Captains or anglers flying them.
INSHORE: A good solid discussion with a much respected Panga Captain revealed that the bite had been off this week, as well as his bookings. During a trip for food, with a diving friend on board, they were able to get into some very good Pargo action on the Pacific side and catch a few Roosterfish as well. The comment was that most of the boats were not going far enough up the coast, most of the fish were found up around Migrainos.
NOTES: Fingers are crossed that the cold water goes away and the winds die down. It’s not terrible, but who wants to run for 25 miles and get bounced around to get into the fish? We were just getting some great action going when I left for Vallarta and maybe it will turn around quickly! Meanwhile this report was written to the music of “Arcano”, the brother/sister duo of Erika and Vick del Real Alvarado, with violin and viola. I heard them at the square doing a public show in Vallarta and bought one of the three releases they had for sale. Classical and covers of easy listening music, great stuff! By the way, Russ, thanks for the across the board comp at the Four Seasons resort course at Punta Mita, totally awesome experience! Until next week, tight lines!
