Apr 16, 2006; 08:39PM - Flashing stick baits for pike.

Tip&Trick Description 1:
When fishing for aggressive or active pike try using shallow running stick bait and retrieve the lure until it is about 10-15 feet away from the boat/pier. Then give it a jerk. The lure will create a bright flash that triggers the pike to bite. This technique works best in clear to mildly clear or stained water. You can try this for bass too. |

Cabo Fish Report
July 28-August 3, 2008
WEATHER There was no change in our weather this week, still 90 degrees or more in the daytime and in the mid 80’s at night. We had some rain on Saturday night-Sunday morning as a nice section of clouds moved over us coming in from the south. We had around ½ inch of rain with thunder and lightning around 2 am. The rest of the week was partly cloudy to sunny with no real weather in the area. We just went through the new moon phase.
WATER: Surface conditions this week were great on both sides of the Cape. On the Pacific side the swells were at 2-5 feet with light winds in the morning at 5 knots and picking up later in the afternoon to 10 knots most days. Surface temperature began the week on the Pacific side at a warm 83-85 degrees but at the end of the week it had cooled to 82-80 degrees, probably due to the cloud cover later in the week. On the Cortez side the swells were at 1-3 feet with almost no wind effect early in the morning early in the week. Later in the week the wind did pick up a bit from the north and there were a couple of choppy afternoons, but nothing uncomfortable. The surface temperature early in the week was a warm 86-88 degrees but at the end of the week had cooled to 84-82 degrees.
BAIT: Caballito were the bait of the week with a few Mullet in the mix. The price on these larger baits was $3 per bait. For inshore fishing Sardinas were available at $25 a scoop from the bait boats around the Palmilla area.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin and Sailfish have all been giving our anglers a good time this week, and the boats did not have to go very far to get into some action. The bite as been within a 100 degree arc from the arch, from off of Gray Rock to the lighthouse on the Pacific side at a distance of between 3 and 15 miles. Most of the Blue Marlin have been picked up farther out while the Striped Marlin have been closer to shore. The Sailfish have been closer in on average as well. There have been a lot more fish seen than have been hooked up however, as most of the Striped Marlin showed a definite “not interested attitude. While slow trolling live bait was a great way to get hooked up to the Sailfish and Striped Marlin, most of the Blues seemed to be more interested in lures, perhaps the higher speed got them excited. For the Striped Marlin and Sailfish, Caballito worked fairly well, but it seemed that better results were had by slow trolling small 15” Bonita. There were plenty of these baits to be had close to the beach and you could fill your tubes pretty quickly using small feathers and hootchies.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: This was another week where I did not hear of or see any boats bring in any decent sized Tuna. A few small football fish were caught and I did hear of a couple of fish in the 30-40 pound class but there was no consistent action on Tuna this week.
DORADO The warm water has started to set off the Dorado bite and almost every boat was able to get at least one of these great fish, and a few boats were able to get four of five. Most of the fish averaged 15 pounds with a few in the 10-pound range and a few in the 30-pound range. Slow trolled live bait worked well on the larger fish and the smaller ones fell for fast moving lures. Most of the action took place within 5 miles of the beach on the Pacific side of the Cape.
WAHOO: I heard of a few Wahoo bites this week but did not hear of any being brought in. The new moon may have had a strong effect on the Wahoo bite.
INSHORE: There was almost no change in the inshore action this week compared to last week. With the calm water this week most of the Pangas were working just off the beach for Sailfish and Striped Marlin as well as Dorado. Those boats working the beach did fair on Roosterfish on the Cortez side.
NOTES: I shot my best golf game ever this week, a 92! . My granite guy promised our new counters will be here this coming Tuesday, yay!! My buddy Tony Nungary has his boat “Tony’s Machine” up and running and is now booking charters. If you want to fish with a two-time Bisbee winner, who is really on top of his game, give us a call and we will see if we can set you up! He did very well this past week, fishing four days and releasing several Blues, Stripes and Sailfish as well as getting some nice Dorado for the table. Until next week, tight lines!
