Cabo Fish Report
Jan 1-8, 2006
WEATHER: First I would like to wish every one a happy new year! We have had a fine start with our weather warming up a bit and the wind disappearing. Our year has started with daytime highs in the mid 80’s and our nights in the low 60’s, just about as perfect as you can get. No rain of course and very few clouds, so things are off to a sunny start.
WATER: From Punta Gorda and north on the Cortez side the water is 70 degrees. On the Pacific side we have water at 73-74 degrees out as far as the west side of the Golden Gate and San Jaime Banks. Past there it cools to 71-72 degrees. South of us from the 1150, the 95 spot and across to about 10 miles south of the San Jaime we have had a big warm water eddy move in with temperatures in the 76-78 degree range, and fin a few spots early in the week the water was a bit warmer than that. The surface conditions on both sides of the Cape have been great with large rolling swells but no wind chop, just about as perfect as you could ask for.
BAIT: There was a mix of Mackerel and Caballito available this week at the normal $2 per bait. Sardinas were available from Pangas up at Palmilla at the normal $20 per scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: We knew that it could not last forever but we are very happy that id lasted as long as it did. The Striped Marlin bite at the Finger Bank has dropped way off with a lot of boats making the trip with no results to show for it. We have had a few folks manage to get two to four fish and an occasional 6 fish day up there, but you can do that closer to home with a bit of luck. There has been a fair concentration of fish off of the Light house on the Pacific side and it seems that almost every day half the fleet is there soaking bait with the results being between one and three fish a day. It gets a bit crowded and if the bait ball comes up a lot of boats charge to the spot where the Frigates are diving making for heavy traffic and lots of bounce for boat staying in one spot. The warm water that appeared early in the week did result is several Blue Marlin being caught wit the largest I heard of being right in the #700 range, as well as a few small Black Marlin. With these fish being caught to the east and south, the Striped Marlin close to home, just about the only thing missing would be Swordfish, and my friend Chuck Baker took his new purchase, the 35 Cabo named Knot-2-Worry out to the Finger Bank and ended up making the first fish for the boat a small Swordfish that they spotted while under way! Yep, a little bit of everything to start off the New Year!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: It looks as if the Yellowfin are going to be the fish of the week, and maybe of the month since they have been the most predictable catch. Mostly footballs to 15 pounds, they are being found under Dolphin. The main areas have been between the 95 spot and the San Jaime banks out to a distance of 35 miles. Of course most of the fish were closer than that, but there were some large fish out farther. Slow trolling live Caballito in front of the Dolphin resulted in multiple fish in the 50-70 pound class for quite a few boats, and there were reports of fish to #150 as well.
DORADO: The warm water incursion we have had has resulted in an improved Dorado bite with most of the action taking place right on the edge of the warm and cold water. This means that the bite has been good just three miles form shore. The best lures have been small plastics of around 8 inches in length in bright colors, with heads producing a lot of surface action. Dropping back a live bait after the first fish has been brought near the boat often resulted in multiple hook-ups. There are fish close to the beach as well as just off the arch, but the seals and sea lions can be a problem there!
WAHOO: I heard of some Wahoo being caught this week but there were not many of them and the sizes were not large. Most of the reports were from the Cortez side up around the Gorda Banks and the Iman Bank area.
INSHORE: The inshore fishing is starting to improve with Sierra being the main catch. If the schools are found most of the boats have been catching 12 to 20 fish per trip, but if the concentration is not there things are quite a bit slower. Some days the catch has been only one or two fish. A Captain reported to me that on one of his days this week they caught one Sierra, three Dorado, several small Yellowfin and one #150 Mako shark along with a large number of Bonita. The fish are there; you just have to search a bit.
NOTES: A 1997 KRB release of Jerry Lee Lewis’s “Great Balls of Fire” compilation was playing while I wrote this report and I just love his rendition of “You Win Again”. This year is off to a great start for most of us, but not for everyone. I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Dennis Cam, the owner of one of the boats I take care of. Dennis passed away due to a massive heart attack at 11:30 New Years eve, and he will be missed very much. Tight Lines Dennis. Well folks, until next week, may you all have smooth seas and tight lines!
