Looking for the Excalibur (Bill Dance signature series) Fat Free Fry in Crawfish. The lure is 2' long and the body is practicly see thru (with the exception for where the crawfish design and color has been airbrushed) I would like to purchase as many as you have. I will take old, new, it doesn't matter. This is all my boyfriend fishes with and he is almost out of these.
Thanks

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT AUGUST 16-22, 2004
WEATHER: It was a warm week here in Cabo but at least the afternoon breezes kept us from sweating like we did last week! Our night time lows were in the 80 degree range while our day time highs ranged from 93 to 100 degrees. Very little cloud cover in our area this week and of course, no rain at all. It looks like we have had a slight shift in our weather patterns and we may have a bit of a cooling trend coming, at least that is what some people have been saying to me. I am not a meteorologist so heck, I just keep my fingers crossed!
WATER: At the end of our week we had a band of warm 85 degree water running out to 15 miles off shore on the Cortez side of the Cape and it wrapped around and extended out to the San Jaime Bank. Just up the coast on the Pacific side it dropped to 81-82 degrees and that cooler water extended off shore for 5-8 miles. That cooler water was also green earlier in the week and extended quite a bit farther off shore. Both the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez had very nice water in the mornings but as noon approached every day the wind started to pick up and the Pacific became choppy. Not uncomfortable, just lots of whitecaps.
BAIT: Pretty much the same as last week with almost the only bait available being Caballito at the usual $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: With the moon phase at the first quarter at the end of the week and the water temperatures the way they are, it was no surprise that the action on Billfish picked up this week. The hot area was around the 95 Spot and in toward Gray Rock and from the 95 Spot out to the 1150. There were plenty of Striped Marlin and Sailfish in the area and most boats had at least a dozen shots a day at one or the other. There were lots of Blue Marlin showing up in the patterns (a relative term as I feel that one or two shots a day is a lot), but they were hard to get hooked up well. The Striped Marlin were of varied size, with our boat catching them from #70 to #210. The Sailfish were of decent size with most around #70, and the Blue Marlin that showed up looked to be between #250 and #350. The Striped Marlin showed a preference for lighter colored lures with Bleeding Mackerel doing very well. The Blues liked the darker lures run short while the Sailfish preferred small, light colored lures. Live bait accounted for about 50% of the catch this week.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Yellowfin were not that hard to find at the beginning of the week and at the end of the week, but when that cold green water moved in off the coast on the Pacific side at the middle of the week things just shut off. Early and late, the bite seemed to be about 5 miles off the beach on the Pacific for football size fish, but I did hear eyewitness accounts of schools of Tuna as large as #200 busting baitfish as close as ½ mile off the beach early in the week. There were good catches of Tuna made at the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Banks as well with fish averaging 20-30 pounds. Dark colored feathers and cedar plugs were the ticket, but when the bite got finicky those who did well put out very small hootchies and down-sized the leader, or went directly to the main line with no leader at all.
DORADO: The Main Dorado action this week was on the Pacific side with some large fish being found on the Cortez side by boats fishing bigger lures for Marlin. Most of the fish on the Pacific side were between 15 and 20 pounds, and a few boats were able to limit out for their anglers. Live bait was the key, with a Caballito being dropped back as soon as a troll caught fish approached the boat. A few boats were lucky enough to find a piece of kelp holding fish, and every day or so one of them came in with lots of yellow flags flying.
WAHOO: I heard of one boat getting 8 Wahoo in one day, but that was second hand information. I was told it was two miles north of the 1150. Most of the Wahoo I heard of were caught off of Gray Rock and the lighthouse on the Pacific as well as some at the San Jaime Banks. Most of the fish were between 20 and 30 pounds. Bright colored lures worked for the sharp toothed guys, and bright Marauders in bleeding Mackerel and Dorado colors worked well.
INSHORE: Inshore action this week was almost a repeat of last week with a few Roosterfish and Jack Crevalle making up most of the catch, at least according to the Panga captains I talked to. Most of them preferred to work the Dorado and football Yellowfin off the Pacific side this week, as the action was more consistent than the inshore fishing.
NOTES: The Billfish bite is picking up and everyone is walking around town with smiles on their faces! Combine that with the eating fish that are being caught and everyone is happy. Let’s hope it stays that way for a while! I haven’t had a music choice listed in a while so this week I went back to a recent favorite to listen to while writing this weeks report. Oscar Lopez’s 2000 Narada release “Armando’s Fire” kept me on the edge of my seat while typing away on the computer. Give it a listen and let me know what you think! Until next week, Tight Lines!
