Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques
|
|
Category: California Freshwater Lakes
|

Author Name: webmaster

Tip&Trick Description 1:
My first time fishing Lake Cachuma was this last weekend April 27th 2002 and I will let you in on a secret this is a fine lake with great staff excellent fishing and abundant campsites. I was very impressed with the guys at the marina ( Jim and Allen) for giving us great tips for fishing their lake without holding back any information necessary for a first timer to their lake. Right out of the marina he told me to troll straight thru the center of the lake and we would be sure to get bit and he was right. Less than 10 minutes from the launch ramp right where he suggested we caught the first fish a nice largemouth bass about 3-4 lbs and lost the first hook up as we were surprised to get a strike so soon. This fish jumped clear out of the water and fought like a much larger fish than it actually ended up being. |
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
We released the bass and continued anxious to get to the trout which is what we were after. On the way to the next spot Jim and Allen had given us directions to we saw 4 deer on the shore grazing like they owned the place (which I guess they did) We set our sites on the points jetting out along the far side of the lake about 200 feet offshore. Instantly off one of the points both the reels went off as we were trolling rainbow trout colored Yo-zuri Emperor Minnows and L-Jack series lures on 4 and 6 lb test at a fairly slow troll. First fish fell off but I managed to get mine to the boat and into it for supper that evening. We did a turn around and went right back over the same spot and sure enough another missed opportunity. Back we went again with another 2 strikes managing to get one in the boat for a better meal for the 3 of us eating that night. Back and forth again for nothing and we decided to give the opposite bank a try. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
On the other side of the lake were the serious bass guy's fishing the bow of their sleek boats with the chairs and trolling motor on the bow. We steered clear of them and moved again about 200 feet off the shoreline and continued our trolling pattern slow and parallel to shore. We started noticing the wind more and more as we headed back towards the launch ramp noticing there was only one jacket made it to the boat and it was mine! We again managed to get another rainbow to strike right out of the water it jumped and then a small battle and into the boat it came. We were done now 1 fish each for dinner and one released bass in about 2 hours fishing time. Now it was back to camp to make dinner and get warm. A jacket is a good thing to bring on any lake as the wind always decides to blow in the afternoon. I must tell you that the guy's at the marina tackle shop know their stuff about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Without their tips we may have come home empty handed as several others had that day. Good luck if you get a chance to fish Lake Cachuma and be sure to say hello the the great guys at the tackle shop near the launch ramp it may pay off big time for you in the long run.....Fish on! <'))))>< |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT JUNE 9- JUNE 15, 2003
WEATHER: The winds finally died down Tuesday night and the weather is back to what we
consider normal for this time of year. Winds have been light and from the northwest at 5-15
knots, lower in the morning and increasing a bit in the afternoon. Sunny skies and few if any
scattered clouds. Daytime highs have been in the mid 90’s and nighttime lows in the mid 70’s.
Very good, comfortable weather and no need for the air conditioning yet! (Tradewinds)
WATER: On the Pacific the water continues to be cold but there is an incursion of warmer Sea
of Cortez water working its way out to the West from the Cape. Most of the water on the Pacific
side remains in the 61-68 degree range while the Sea of Cortez side is seeing water in the 78-81
range. San Jaime and Golden Gate banks are showing temperatures in the 66 degree range while
the 1150 spot, 95 spot and Gordo Banks get readings of 77-81 degrees. Where the warm water is
intruding into the Pacific we are seeing a very definitive temperature break and there is starting to
be quite a bit of action there, as well as the area around the 95 spot where another break is
forming. Surface conditions are fair to good on the Pacific side with some swells but no wind
chop in the morning, changing to slightly choppy conditions in the afternoon. The Cortez side has
had great water all week long out to a distance of 12 miles, then the water has gotten a bit choppy
in the afternoons. (Dreamcatcher)
BAIT: Most of the bait this week was Mackerel, and they were the normal $2 per bait. There
was Mullet available as well at the same price but Caballito were scarce. Reportedly there were
Sardinas available off of Palmilla but I did not see any of them myself. (Holding Back The Years)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The bite on the Striped Marlin picked up, and that was a bit unusual since we are
going throughout the full moon phase right now. The best action was between the 1150 spot and
Gordo banks, and most of the action was on lures. Boats that started to work the temperature
break on the Pacific side were spotting quite a few fish but most of their action was on live bait
tossed to fish found tailing. As usual, the best lures were the old stand-bys, black/green, bleeding
Mackerel. Many of the boats working the Cortez were getting lure strikes and not spotting a lot
of fish on the surface. Some of them were reporting as many as 10 strikes a day. The action on
the Pacific temp break was a bit slower but the hook-up ratio was higher since most of the bites
were on live bait. (Midnight Swim)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Once again there were Tuna reported from up past the Gordo banks and
they were still the smaller fish. With the wind dying down and the Pacific waters fishable this
week there was more effort focused to the west and there were good fish reported from the San
Jaime banks by boats that soaked live bait deep on the edges. Some of these fish were reported to
be #125 ! (Blue Universe)
DORADO: Good fish are reported on the Cortez side and the water on the Pacific has been too
cold. Fish to 55 pounds are being found scattered around and the reports are that there are more
fish, large concentrations of them, moving down to us from up at the East Cape. Some of the
boats here in Cabo have been able to find small concentrations this week and have picked up as
many as 8 fish per trip. The first fish caught on lures have had followers with them and often the
second fish of the day has been hooked up on live bait dropped back. (Dipsea Trail)
WAHOO: The full moon helped the Wahoo action pick up and we were seeing quite a few
more orange flags at the end of the day than we saw last week. Most of the fish were found off of
the Red Hill area and outside Punta Ballena, both area at a distance of two to three miles off
shore. There was also a good bite reported between the inner and outer Gorda Banks as well as
off the Punta Gorda. Best lures were dark colored. (Oceans Apart)
INSHORE: Roosterfish to 60 pounds and Pargo running to 35 pounds were the fish of the
inshore this week. The action was both on the Pacific side to the lighthouse and on the Cortez
side as far up as you could go. The afternoon bite seemed to be the hot one this week as the
Pargo really turned on in the late afternoon and a few boats were able to come in with double
digit catches. The average Roosterfish were 25 pounds but I know of one boat that caught two
large guys, one over #60 and the other one around #50, both by the sole angler on the boat. The
inshore action was also kicking out Jack Crevalle to 35#, Amberjack in the 15 pound class,
Grouper to 50#, a few Sierra and lots of needlefish. (Indian Spring)
NOTES: The action locally is starting to pick up again and it’s just getting better every day. If
the Tuna bite would just start getting hot again we would be in heaven! Guess I’ll just have to go
and soak bait this week if I want one of those guys though. The last few weeks the action up at
the East Cape has been red hot but as our water continues to warm up the fish are coming here as
well and we should start to see lots of big Dorado and hordes of Yellowfin, as well as the big
Blues! I’m keeping my fingers crossed as we have 5 days booked this coming week and I really
want our anglers to get into the action! This week I put my music back in because I received so
many comments regarding last weeks lack of songs. I didn’t realize that so many of you cared,
thanks! The music this weeks report was written to is by Craig Chaquico on his CD “Once In A
Blue Universe”, a 1997 release by Higher Octave Music (one of my favorite publishers). Until
next week, keep those lines tight!
