[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000] Sept 10 - 16, 2012[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]Thistime of year we can expect occasionally rough conditions since it isour storm season. We always hope for some rain, not too much mindyou, but hope the storms pass far enough away that the winds staydown and the seas are fishable. This week we had Tropical StormKristy form up to the south and pass to the west. This formationbrought us some rain, in fairly light amounts here in Cabo and it waslight enough that the ground absorbed it, maybe ½ inch total. Iheard that the weather and rain was much worse in the San Jose areathough. We had mostly cloudy skies this week, but a couple of sunnydays early on and our temperatures stayed in the mid to high 90'sduring the day and dropped to the low 80's at night with highhumidity most of the time. The best weather was offshore where yougot a breeze![/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000] WATER: [/#000000][#000000]Letme preface this section by letting you know that the Cabo San LucasMarina was closed on Friday due to the large surf conditions causedby Tropical Storm Kristy. It was also closed Thursday afternoon, andprobably should have been closed Thursday morning, these swells were12-15 feet and causing some extra large surf. Walking the beach wasnot safe nor was taking any boat close to the beach. At the end ofthe week the water on the Cortez side of the Cape was green withrun-off but warm, the charts showed 89 degrees in front of San Joseand a large plume of dirty water extending out from there, across theGorda Banks and out to the 1150 spot and the 1,000 fathom line. Infront of Cabo it was 87 degrees and dirty water, but not as bad asaround San Jose. If you went around the Cape into the Pacific sideat the end of the week you found 85-86 degree water that was clean,at least between the San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks and shore. Swells during the passing of Tropical Storm Kristy kicked up theshore very hard and there were spume lines extending across theentire Cape up to three miles offshore. At the end of the week theswells had subsided to 2-4 feet in all areas with just a light windon the Pacific side.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BAIT: [/#000000][#000000]Caballito were available early in the week for $3 each and there werefrozen horse ballyhoo for the same price.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000] FISHING:[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BILLFISH[/#000000][#000000]: Sailfish were the billfish of the week as the warm water reallyseemed to set them on a feeding frenzy. Last week we were havingpods of them coming into the lures and making the cockpits a pictureof frenzy as lures were attacked left and right. These beautifulfish averaged 90 pounds with a few going as large as 130 pounds, Notall that bit were hooked up of course, but most boats managed to gettwo or three releases per trip. Not the numbers you see elsewhere,but very good for our area. Strip baits (tuna belly) dropped back tothe fish that came in on the lures worked better than anything elseto get them hooked up, better than live bait, which is strange forsome of these guys to get their heads around. The Striped Marlinthat were caught were mostly hooked on live bait, and the localfishermen are very used to that and have this fishing method down toa science. There were reports of a few Blue Marlin early in the weekbefore the storm passed, but nothing since then. Almost all thebillfish action in our area happened on the Pacific side of the Cape.[/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: I heard that early in the week there were somevery nice Yellowfin to 200 pounds caught at the Gorda Banks and thathas gotten everyone's pulse pounding. The Gorda Banks are well knownas a large Tuna area, if they are around, and it is almost always alive bait fishery. In the rest of our local ocean most of the tunawere found with porpoise and were football fish, in the 5 to 12 poundclass with a few 18 to 25 pound fish mixed in. The Purse Seinersreally made their presence known and felt last week, but hopefullythe foul weather forced them away and we will have a few weeks ofdecent Tuna fishing before they re-appear. After the storm passed afew boats went out and found that the Tuna were still around, gettingdecent results fishing on the Pacific side 2 miles off the beach.
[#000000]DORADO: Once again fish of the week as theyoften are this time of year, Dorado are still out there in decentnumbers. At the beginning of the week almost anyone could limit outon small Dorado that were between 5 and 10 pounds with a few to 15pounds tossed in, but the larger fish were a bit harder to find. Ifyou could find some floating debris your chance improved dramaticly,as they did if you were able to find frigate birds working. Workingbright lures at slightly higher speeds than normal really caughttheir attention, then working the area hard with live bait brought insome decent fish. Almost all the Dorado action here in Cabo happenedon the Pacific side within 5 miles of the beach.[/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: Strong and variable currents atthe beginning of the week and dirty water at the end of the week madeinshore fishing problematic at best. A few Snapper and Grouper werefound on the Pacific side as well as the occasional Roosterfish butalmost all the Pangas were working a bit farther offshore in order tocatch the easily found Dorado and Bonita.[/#000000]

[#000000]NOTES: My music this morning was the soundof my fingers going tickity-tack on the keyboard, but in my head Iwas hearing the sounds of a reel going off! It looks as if we mighthave some decent weather this coming week so the chances of ithappening are pretty darn good! It is said that imitation is thesincerest form of flattery so it's nice to know that there is anotherreport out there that is flattering mine! It's off to the beach forthe Sunday trip, and let me toss out a good morning to Mark and Char,we look forward to you guys getting down here! Keep the music going,and until next week, tight lines![/#000000]
