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 DECEMBER 9-15, 2002
WEATHER: Keeping cool in Cabo! I check my outside
thermometer every morning and on
Saturday it showed 55 degrees! Sweater, long pants
and socks were my dress for the morning!
Our daytime highs have been a comfortable 85-88
degrees with a slight breeze. The desert is now
blooming from all the rain we received during the
Thanksgiving weekend so a drive out there is a
nice thing to do. We have not had any rain since
then but we did have quite a bit of cloud cover
in the early part of the week. (Deck The Halls)
WATER: The surface temperatures continue to drop
as we go through the transition from
summer water to winter water. This week the
highest I found was around 79 degrees. Most of
the water around the Cape has been in the low 70�s
but there has been a bit warmer water from
25-30 miles to the south. The surface conditions
have been great with small swells at the
beginning of the week, getting larger as the week
ended but with plenty of space between them
and no wind chop on top of it. (1st Nowell)
BAIT: Almost the only thing you could find this
week was Mackerel in the 8-10� range, a bit
small but they worked well. There were only a few
Caballito and I have no idea if there were any
Sardinas or not. The bait was the normal $2 each.
(Shepherd�s Night Watch)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The only species around right now is
Striped Marlin as the water has become too
cool to be comfortable for Blue Marlin. There were
not a lot of fish found this week but a few
lucky boats were able to hook one or two and get
them to the boat. Most boats were lucky if
they were able to get one to toss bait to, the fish
were scattered out and not staying on the surface
very long. Most of the fish that were caught were
found while deep dropping live bait off of
Punta San Cristobal and Golden Gate Banks or while
slow trolling live baits in the same areas.
They have been averaging about 110 pounds with a
few fish reaching the #140 class. (Festival of
7 Lights)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: I did not see nor did I hear of
any boats finding Yellowfin Tuna this week,
but I did see a few boats flying Tuna flags. I
checked with the anglers from one of them and
found that they had caught Skipjack Tuna that the
crew had flown flags for because they wanted
to be able to fly something. The others may have
found Yellowfin, you never know, but I heard
no word. (O X�mas Tree)
DORADO: Even the Dorado bite was a bit slow this
week as most boats were very lucky to get
three or four fish, and most came in with just one
or two. Slow trolling live bait or pulling
brightly colored lures in the 9� range were what
seemed to work. Most of the action took place
on the Pacific side of the point and in the same
areas as the Striped Marlin were found. The
basics worked well, find the bait and work the
area. Hook up one Dorado then toss a live bait out
behind it as it comes in, there might just be
another one or two following it. (Away in a
Manger/Island X�mas)
WAHOO: A few Wahoo were caught this week and
they seemed to prefer dark colored lures.
Most of them were in the 30-40 pound range and
there was no concentration to them, the catches
were reported from a wide area. (Morning Glory)
INSHORE: Most of the inshore action took place on
the Pacific side between the lighthouse and
Punta San Cristobal. This area is where a school
of Sierra has been working the beach and the
best action was in water between 15 and 60 feet
deep. The fish were biting on small hootchies
and Rapalas in bright colors, the favorite being
orange/red and the fish ranged from 3 to 7 pounds.
The average catch was two to 6 fish before the bite
stopped, around 9 am. A bit farther out, in
water from 60-150 feet, there were a few schools of
Dorado found and a few boats found some
Amberjack and Snapper on the bottom around the
rocks. (We Three Kings/Santa Fe X�mas)
NOTES: We are in the transition from warm summer
waters to cooler winter water and the
fishing has shown it. The action has not been hot
and heavy but most days there was some fish to
be found. Checking my log book for last year the
same thing was going on. We can look
forward to some continued Dorado action and the
Striped Marlin should become more numerous
and the football and school Tuna should show up
very soon. This weeks report was written to
the sound of music for the holidays by one of my
favorite artists, Ottmar Liebert. The CD is
�Poets & Angels�, a 1990 Higher Octave release.
