[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000] June 20-16, 2011[/#000000]


[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]Lastweeks weather continued on into this week as we started with lows inthe high 60's and highs in the low 80's along with a lot of wind. OnThursday it started to change, at least the temperatures did! Thewind continued until finally dying down on Sunday. At the end of theweek our lows were in the mid to upper 70's and the daytime highs hadreturned to the mid 90's. Still no rain but we did have several daysof cloud cover.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000] WATER: [/#000000][#000000]Ourseas have slowly returned, or are slowly returning to haw they were acouple of weeks ago. At the beginning of the week the water haddropped about 12 degrees along both sides of the Cape, with a severedrop along the Cortez coastline. Finally, at the end of the week itstarted to warm up, and the trend continued offshore as well. Starting the week with 69 degrees in the bay, we ended the week witha slightly more reasonable 73 degrees, but the water remained verygreen and off color. On the Pacific side at the end of the week wehad water as cold as 65 degrees but it did not intrude into the Seaof Cortez. The green water remained inside the 1,000 fathom line forthe most part, and the water started to warm up eastward of a linedue south of San Jose. Surface conditions were not all that greatthis week as the swells from the remnants of Hurricane Beatricepounded the beach, making the surfers happy but when combined withthe steady wind made fishing uncomfortable for most anglers. At theend of the week the swells started dying down as did the wind.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BAIT: [/#000000][#000000]Mackereland Mullet were easy to get this week at the normal $3 per bait,there were no Sardinas and only a few Mackerel to be had.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000] FISHING:[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BILLFISH[/#000000][#000000]: Almost the only area that held Striped Marlin this week wasoutside the 1,000 fathom line on the Cortez side of the Cape. Thewater was choppy but a bit clearer and just a bit warmer there. Forthat matter, almost all the fish that were caught this week came fromthat area. A couple of “maybe” small Blue Marlin were reportedfrom there as well, but that may have been wishful thinkingconsidering the water temperature. For the most part boats wereseeing three or four fish a day and managing to hook up and releasebetween one and three per day. A few boats managed to really kicksome butt and released up to five fish. A couple of fish werereported from the green water closer to shore, but this was a veryscattered event, not normal during the course of the week.[/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Fish of the week as far as I am concerned! Yellowfin between 12 and 30 pounds were the lifeblood of the offshoreanglers this week as they could be found along the color break at the1,000 fathom line. Not associated with porpoise, it took a while tofind them, but once they were found the action was decent. Mostboats were catching between three and 10 fish per trip. Dark coloredlures were the key, bright colors just did not work.
[#000000]DORADO: Maintaining the trend started lastweek with the influx of cold water, the bite on Dorado continued on adownhill slide. The fish were smaller as well with a lot of fish inthe 5-6 pound class being released, and they were almost the onlyones being caught. Like all the other fish, they were found aroundthe 1,000 fathom line, or up off the Punta Gorda area.[/#000000]
[#000000]WAHOO: Cold water and the last quarter ofthe moon phase put the brakes on the Wahoo fishing this week. I didnot hear of any being brought in.[/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: Inshore fishing was a pain thisweek with the cold, green water and the large storm swells. Someanglers were able to get hooked up to Yellowtail on the Pacific sideby trolling Rappala style lures and if they continued to work an areacould do all right on fish to 12 pounds. Add in some decent Bonito,scattered all along both side of the Cape, and some Sierra along theshore off of El Tulle beach and the fishing was ok, not great but ok.[/#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. [/#000000]
[#000000]NOTES: This weeks report was written tothe songs of the birds chirping in the trees outside, I hope they aresaying the water is warming up! If it continues to warm, and I thinkit will, we will see much better fishing by mid-week. Now, it's offto the beach with the dog, then give her a bath and brushing, she hasher birthday party this afternoon![/#000000]
[#000000]Until next week, tight lines![/#000000]
