[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000] August 15-21, 2011[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]Well,partly to mostly cloudy for the week here in Cabo. I must say thatsometimes that's rather nice. The clouds moved in from the mainlandand the did bring some needed rain to the mountains, but all we gothere was a bit of spit on the windshields on Thursday. Our daytimehighs have been touching 100 degrees and the morning lows have beenin the mid 80's.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000] WATER: [/#000000][#000000]The wind kicked up a bit on Friday morning and the water got choppy,still fishable but bouncy on the Pacific side. At the end of theweek we had an 80 degree cool spot just off the tip of the Cape. Onthe Pacific side the water was 83-84 degrees out to the San Jaimebanks and then dropped to 82 degrees farther to the west. On theCortez side we were seeing 86 degrees and the farther north you wentthe warmer the water became. There were some areas such as LosFrailes and the Cabrillo Seamount where the water was 89-90 degrees. Surface conditions on the Cortez side were better than on thePacific, but the fish were a lot more scattered.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BAIT: [/#000000][#000000]Caballitoand Mullet were the baits of the week with no Mackerel being founddue to the warm waters. Everything was the normal $3 per bait. There were also some decent Sardinas to the north around Palmilla at$25 a scoop.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000] FISHING:[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BILLFISH[/#000000][#000000]: For the anglers this week Marlin were a bit scarce, at least basedon what we are used to. This warm water makes it difficult to getmany Striped Marlin, and the sizes are very inconsistent. We had oneangler this week release a Striped Marlin that weighed about 40pounds, and we had others release fish estimated at 120 pounds. Mostof the larger Marlin have been Blues, and the majority of them havebeen just under 200 pounds. Add in some nice Pacific Sailfish at 100pounds average and there is a chance for a Billfish on every trip,but don't expect to rack up great numbers. [/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The fishing is still slow on Yellowfin Tuna, atleast for the boats working the porpoise schools. You can fish 5 or6 schools and not get a bite, then hit one with fish on them and rackup a quick 4 or 5 fish. The best results have been had by boatsworking the inshore pock piles with Sardinas as chum. Some of themhave been able to get limits on fish to 40 pounds with an occasionallarge, over 100 pound, fish in the catch.
[#000000]DORADO: Every angler that has been comingdown has been bringing a cooler with them, hoping to go home with itfilled with Dorado Fillets. Sorry to have to tell you, but it justisn't happening very often. For some reason most of the Dorado havemoved way up the coast on the Pacific side, almost to Todo Santos,and that is a long run for a lot of these boats with fuel prices theway they are. Closer to home the larger Dorado have been eating slowtrolled Bolito and the smaller ones have been caught on lures and onlive Caballito. Most of the action has been close to the beach,within 2 or 3 miles.[/#000000]
[#000000]WAHOO: While the Wahoo were scarce thisweek, there were a few nice fish caught. Our clients Saturdaymanaged to get one that weighed 66 pounds to the boat and into thefish box! Nice going Ted and Steve! Other boats had a few bites,but there was not a wide open bite by any stretch of the imagination.[/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: Inshore action this weekconsisted of Bonita, Skipjack, some nice schools of Roosterfish thataveraged 15 pounds and scattered Dorado. Most of the action early inthe week took place on the Pacific side from the lighthouse up to LosArcos, and later in the week from Cabo to Cabo Real.[/#000000]
[#000000]FISH RECIPE: My recipe has been taking toomuch space so if you want to see it, check out my wordpress blog alittle later in the week, or subscribe to the blog and you willreceive an email as soon as I post it. Sorry about this last weeksno show, but we did not get any fish to cook, everyone took it home![/#000000]
[#000000]NOTES: Hot water, slow fishing, but thefish that are out there are quality fish! I truly expect some largeBlue Marlin to show up soon, and I think at least one will be over700 pounds. The water just looks perfect! This weeks report waswritten to the music of Maria Muldaur on her new Stony Recordsrelease “Steady Love”. If you like the blues, you need to listenup! [/#000000]
[#000000]Until next week, tight lines![/#000000]
