[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000] May 28 – June 3, 2012[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]Wesure had a changeable week on the weather front. One day the morninghigh was 76 degrees and the next it was 64 degrees, one day sunny,the next cloudy with fog. One day it was peaceful with little wind,the next morning it was howling. The beginning of the week was a nicerecovery from the wind of last week, but it returned on Friday, andit blew hard. As I sit here on Sunday morning I can hear the windwhistle through the palms and bougainvillaea outside, not quite asstrong as yesterday, so hopefully it will die off soon. Typicallythis time of year we have several windy days followed by several calmdays.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000] WATER: [/#000000][#000000]Wewere looking at a beautiful band of warm water along the Cortez sideof the Cape this week. It extended from the East Cape all the way toCabo and curled around the Cape just a little, extending up into thePacific a short way. A great 78 to 80 degree band of water, itextended from the shoreline to approximately 8 miles out. While nota perfectly clean blue color, it was fairly clean on the outer edge. Once you went past the edge the water quickly dropped to 66-68degrees within several miles. On the Pacific side the warm water onlyextended a short way to just past the lighthouse, but it wentoffshore a bit to the west. Unfortunately as the wind began to blowat the end of the week and the currents shifted this warm water waspushed back up the Sea of Cortez so that on Saturday evening we sawthe water at just 70 degrees off of Cabo and 74 degrees off of SanJose. Surface conditions were just fair at the start of the week onthe Pacific side, but it didn't matter as there were few fish thereanyway. Once the wind started to blow it became un-fishable, and thewind wrapped around the Cape so that by noon on Friday and Saturdayyou were coming home from the San Jose direction directly into thesheep farm, a wet and wooly ride back to the slip.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BAIT: [/#000000][#000000]Caballitowere the bait most boats were able to get this week, and at thenormal $3 each. Some of the bait boats were carrying a few partiallyfrozen Ballyhoo as well, at the same price.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000] FISHING:[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BILLFISH[/#000000][#000000]: With the warm water showing up we had a re-appearance of the StripedMarlin. While the bit was not wide open by any means, most boatswere able to get hooked up at least once during a trip, and a fewboats managed to release as many as four fish on a charter. Most ofthe boats were happy with one fish released, great results comparedto what we had been seeing. There were a few Swordfish caught aswell in the waters outside the Gorda Bank where the temperature andcolor changed. I expected to hear reports of some Blue and BlackMarlin but did not, that does not mean there were not any caught,just that I did not hear of them. The water might still be just alittle off-color for them to show up.[/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: I heard there was a great Tuna bite for a few dayup on the East Cape but there was little action in our area. As wasthe case last week, a few boats managed to catch a few football sizeYellowfin, most in the blind, not associated with the porpoise.
[#000000]DORADO: There were some decent Dorado caughtthis week due to the warm water being here, but there were no largenumbers of them. Several boats caught fish to 50 pounds and therewere quite a few smaller fish in the 8-10 pound range. It was not aspecies that many of the boats targeted, instead they were anincidental catch by boats fishing for Marlin.[/#000000]
[#000000]WAHOO: I did hear of several decent Wahoobeing caught this week, once again a result of the warm water movinginto the area. Most of the action occurred from Palmilla andeastward toward and past Los Frailes.[/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: Roosterfish, Amberjack, Pargo,Yellowtail and Sierra were the inshore flavors of the week for mostof the anglers fishing near shore. We had a decent showing ofRoosterfish to 50 pounds with most of them in the 15-25 pound classfor the boats fishing off of Cabo Del Sol and there were a few foundjust around the arch on the Pacific side early in the week. TheSierra bite was good early in the week on larger fish to 9 pounds forboats fishing the Pacific side in 100 feet of water, there weresmaller fish close to the beach. Amberjack were found from Gray Rockto Palmilla and the best results were had using live bait droppeddown to 10 feet off the bottom in water from 90 to 130 feet deep. The same techniques worked for the Yellowtail, and in the same area. Argo were found closer to shore, and they as well as some groupercould be had by trolling large lipped Rappala type lures in 50 to 60feet of water.[/#000000]

[#000000]NOTES: If I could predict how the fishingwas going to be I would be rich, instead I am just frustrated. Oncethe weather and water settles down we will have great fishing as wellas great expectations on every trip, but for now it's fishing, notalways catching. It has turned into a nice day as the wind has letup, so it's time to hit the beach for our Sunday morning trip withthe pup. This weeks report was written to the music of Capt. SamCrutchfield on a compilation album, good fishing songs! Until nextweek, Tight lines![/#000000]
