[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000]November 14-20, 2011[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]Wouldyou like the evenings to be in the high 60's, the daytime in the mid80's, mostly clear skies with no rain and light winds? Well, come ondown![/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000] WATER: [/#000000][#000000]At the end of the week the water in the Sea of Cortez to the east ofPunta Gorda was the warmest in our area with a surface temperature of82-83 degrees. Closer to home, the area inside the 1,000 fathom linein the Sea of Cortez had water that was 80-81 degrees while outsidethe 1,000 fathom line it cooled to 78-79 degrees. On the Pacificside there was a thin band of cool water along the shore with 78degree water, then it quickly rose to 80 degrees. Surface conditionswere great with 2-4 foot swells and only a light breeze. In close toshore in the afternoons it chopped up a bit but offshore remainedsmooth.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BAIT: [/#000000][#000000]Wefinally started getting some bait but they have been very smallCaballito, and the bait guys are still very proud of them, asking 2-3dollars each for bait that is 6 inches. There are also green jackswhich I think are pretty much a wasted bait, so the Caballito havebeen the way to go, perfect size for the small Dorado we have beenseeing.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000] FISHING:[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BILLFISH[/#000000][#000000]: While the Striped Marlin fishing has not gotten red hot yet,hopefully it is a matter of time. Boats going up the beach towardTodo Santos are seeing more and more fish out there, most of themfairly close to the beach. On Captain fishing a few hours Sunday saw6 on the surface by the lighthouse but they would not bite. Some ofthe boats have been releasing two or three a day and seeing manymore. There are still some Blue Marlin around as well as I canattest to personally. Sunday we were fishing south of the San JaimeBank and hooked up young Brice (14 years old) to his first BlueMarlin and after 40 minutes released one we estimated at 250 pounds. Other boats reported hook-ups in the same area over the course of theweek as well.[/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Still an off and on fishery, the Yellowfin havebeen hard to figure out. My deckhand fished another boat at thestart of the week and reported a steady bite on fish ranging from 80to 300 pounds at the Inner Gorda Bank, but on Friday the bite totallyshut off. There were reports of large Tuna being found on thePacific side to the north and inside of the Golden Gate Bank but thefish moved out fast, only a few boats getting into the action. OnSunday we were fishing on the south side of the San Jaime and found agood pod of Spinner Dolphin and managed to catch 17 footballs between12 and 20 pounds. Like most fishing it was a matter of being in theright place at the right time.
[#000000]DORADO: Still the bread and butter of thefleet and the Pangas, this has been an off and on bite as well. Atthe beginning of the week there were plenty of fish showing along thebeach on the Pacific side, but it seemed to be mostly a live baitfishery, find one by trolling then working the area with live baitwhile keeping the first one hooked up behind the boat. Of course ithelped to find something floating in the water and that happened toseveral boats this weed as a tree trunk was found to the north of theGolden Gate and it produced plenty of fish for the first few boatsthat got there. Closer to home there are still plenty of Dorado butthe average size is much smaller. One of the Panga Captains reported7 Dorado in three hours with only two of the fish larger than 15pounds while another managed to get 17 of them under his commerciallicense with all the fish being under 10 pounds. So, they are there,but they are small.[/#000000]
[#000000]WAHOO: There were some average size Wahooin the 25-30 pound class reported this week by the boats working thebeach areas for Dorado, but most of the fish hooked were lost. Oneof the larger boats, first on the scene of the tree trunk, reportedcatching five We-hoo's off of it, lol![/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: The water continues to cool sohopefully there will be some Sierra and Yellowtail showing in numbersin the weeks to come. Meanwhile, most of the Pangas are going afterDorado since they are close and plentiful (even if they are small onaverage).[/#000000]
[#000000]FISH RECIPE: posted on the blog Thursday orFriday. We have been really busy the past several weeks and promiseto get a new one up this week![/#000000]
[#000000]NOTES: Once again great weather for theweek, decent fishing and good water. Perfect combination and itmakes me think about our friends the Shorts and Lawrences up inAlaska. Mike Short reported removing 14 inches of snow from histruck last week and yesterday had 3 degree weather. Get back herewhere it's warm, what do you think you are, Polar Bears? My thanksonce again to Mark Bailey for the music selection of the week as Ilistened once again to the Rodeo Clown Dropouts. Until next week,tight lines![/#000000]
