[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000] August 22-28, 2011[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]Wow,almost a repeat of last weeks weather, who would have thought that? Strangely enough, it is because of clouds and a bit of rain insteadof bright and sunny. Once again we were in mostly cloudy conditionsand had a bit of rain at the end of the week. A series of smallstorms moved over us, coming from the mainland and brought rain tothe mountains and a bit of a sprinkle to us. Even without the sunshining brightly it was easy to get sunburned as many people foundout! Our nighttime low were in the mid 80's while the daytime highswere approaching 100 degrees.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000] WATER: [/#000000][#000000]One of those small storms that blew in from the mainland broughtTuesday noon misery to some anglers who decided to come in and hunkerdown. The storm passed in two hours but blew hard, bringing in 5foot wind swells with gusts to 40 mph. Here and then gone! The restof the week was fine with swells slowly increasing in size over theweek and coming from the south. They were spaced far enough apartthat they were comfortable, Water on the Cortez side averaged 88degrees inshore and 87 degrees offshore. On the Pacific side theinshore water was 83-84 degrees while the water offshore wasaveraging 82 degrees.[/#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]: Striped Marlin were found on the Pacific side this week, but not inany great numbers as would be expected with our water temperatures. Scattered around, some boats were able to release two fish, a lot ofboats released one and many, many others had no luck. Small BlueMarlin were scattered in the area of the 1150 and they did not get alot of pressure since most boats fished the Pacific side of the Cape. I heard of at least one Black Marlin being released this week,caught on down-rigged live Bonita at the Gorda Bank it was estimatedat 300 pounds. [/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: This has been an on and off fishery for the pastweek. Based on some other reports I went to the Imam Banks twicethis week hoping to get into some of the reported 60-100 pound Tunathat were said to be there. Chum hard with Sardines, use 40 poundflouro-carbon leader and they were supposed to bite. Not a workingproposition for me, but I did see a few Tuna that averaged 25 poundscaught, as well as a few Dorado and a couple of Marlin. On Friday Iwas off to the south side of the San Jaime Bank and watched a purseseiner from Mazatlan named the “Aztec 10” brail 40-100 pound tunsfrom their net after making a set. We did not get any Tuna that day. Saturday things turned around and the Tuna bite took off from theshore to 15 miles out between the arch and the Golden Gate Bank. Many boats managed to limit out on fish that averaged 25 pounds. Ofcourse, I went to the Imam banks instead, oops.
[#000000]DORADO: Later in the week anglers weregetting as many Dorado as they wanted if they worked the the pacificshoreline north of the Golden Gate. Most of them were small butthere were quite a few that were in the 15 pound class. Shark buoysto the south of the Golden Gate held some nice fish as well. Therewere scattered Dorado reported from the area of the 1150 during themiddle of the week.[/#000000]
[#000000]WAHOO: Once again a few fish were reported,and the probable reason was the number of boats fishing inshore onthe Pacific side for Dorado. Have enough boats hit the area andchances are one or two of them are going to find a Wahoo.[/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: Just like last week, inshoreaction this week consisted of Bonita, Skipjack, some nice schools ofRoosterfish that averaged 15 pounds with scattered Dorado andYellowfin. Most of the action early in the week took place on thePacific side from the lighthouse up to Los Arcos.[/#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: It was nice to see the Dorado andYellowfin Tuna show themselves again. After a sparse couple of weekswhere you could get some nice fish, but no numbers, anglers werehaving a lot of fun with numbers of fish. Just a quick reminder,most boats carry some ice, but if you are going after Tuna, make surethere is plenty on board, you may have to purchase more just in case![/#000000]
[#000000]Until next week, tight lines![/#000000]
