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! <'))))>< |

“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR APRIL 14, 2003
Our clients for today are friends of Mary’s cousin and they brought another couple with them,
four people in all. This was their first time in Cabo and on our boat . The water was a little bit
choppy but they managed to hang in there and ended the day with a nice Dorado for dinner.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR APRIL 15, 2003
David and his new bride Angela were walking around the Marina yesterday when we started
talking and they decided to go fishing with us on the “Fly Hooker” today. The water had calmed
down since yesterday and Juan and Manuel were able to put them on to a Striped Marlin early in
the day. David made short work of it and had it to the boat in about 20 minutes. They also
caught a Tuna of about 20 pounds and a Dorado of the same size. A good day on the water for
the honeymooners from Arizona.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR APRIL 16, 2003
Mike Cope is fishing the second of two days today and he has Tony and Chris Marauto with
him today. After blanking out on Sunday they were really hoping to get into the fish today. They
did! A 40 pound Dorado, a couple more at 25 pounds and a 50 pound Wahoo put some meat in
the cooler for them, a good change from the last trip. It also put a big smile on their faces!
Thanks guys!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR APRIL 17, 2003
Stephane Van Den Bergh, his wife Georgina and daughter Louise have come all the way from
France and fished today on the “Fly Hooker” with Juan and Manuel. Stephane has fished for
Tuna in the Mediterranean between France and Spain but has never caught a Marlin as the waters
where they are normally caught are to far away. He has brought two new reels with him in order
to try and catch his fish. They are Penn Senator 4/0’s with left hand retrieve since he could not
find any Shimano’s set up that way. Georgina and Louise spent the day on the bridge with
Manuel and Juan stayed below to assist Stephane. He wanted to do it all him self so Juan was
there as coach. They spotted tow Marlin and tossed bait on both. On the first fish Stephane
tossed the bait out and had the reel in freespool with the clicker on as the fish ate the bait and
started off. His thumb was not on the spool though and the clicker broke, resulting in complete
freespool and a major backlash, placing his line between the spool flange and the sideplate. Yep,
the fish broke off. The other Marlin refused to eat but everyone had a good time anyhow.
Stephane wanted to fish with us again but we are already booked for the next few days. I hope he
does well tomorrow with whoever he goes with!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR APRIL 18, 2003
Brian Niecamp has fished every Good Friday for the past six years with Juan and Manuel,
except for last year when Juan decided to go on vacation (and his brother Juan filled in so I guess
what I just wrote is not really true!). On this trip his friend John Dolack is with him again. They
had an early start today as they were at the dock and waiting when we arrived. Juan and Manuel
headed straight south off of the Solmar beach area and at a distance of 8 miles out found porpoise
and birds. One Tuna weighed around 45 pounds and the rest were in the 15-20 pound class, but
they found and caught 18 in all! They were the first boat there and the only one as well. The
Tuna was exactly what they had been looking for and they left with smiles and their cooler full!
The unfortunate thing was that after that, the steering on the boat broke and they had to come in.
I refunded half of the charter fee since they had only been out a half day and Juan and Manuel
spent the afternoon changing the helm and cable.
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR APRIL 19, 2003
Mike and Cathy Pilarski have fished this date with Juan and Manuel every year for the past 4
years and like Brian yesterday, last year was with Juan’s brother Juan. Juan and Manuel headed
out to the 95 spot area after first trying straight south, in the area where they found the Tuna
yesterday and blanking out. The water was a bit choppier since the wind had blown all night but
the were able to hook into two nice Dorado, everyone said one was in the 40 pound class, and the
other around 25 pounds. There were three Tuna in the 15-20 pound class as well so they had a
bit of fish to fill their cooler with!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR APRIL 20, 2003
John D. had been wanting to share a trip, a long one, ever since reading about the one I went
on with my webmaster two weeks ago. Today is Easter and it is the last full day of his trip to
Cabo and lucky for him and myself I was able to talk a local resident (14 weeks) Randy into
sharing a 12 hour day with him. Randy has not done this type of fishing before but John has been
fishing for about 4 years, mostly on the long range boats out of San Diego. We finally left the
marina at 6 A.M. (Randy went to the wrong dock and since it’s Easter, we had a bit of a wait to
get a bait Panga to show up). My original idea was to head out on the Pacific side to the San
Jaime banks to look for Tuna. The wind had not blown last night and I was hoping for good
water but as we went past the lighthouse the swell got larger and we started to get some white
caps out there. Knowing that it would not get any better in the next 15 miles, and noticing a few
porpoise breaking water alongside the boat, I decided to change course and try an area 15 miles
to the south of the lighthouse. It was just getting gray morning light when we set the lures but we
did not have any action until 8:00 when we spotted a pair of Striped Marlin sleeping on the
surface. Of course they were not hungry and went down when we turned around and pulled a live
bait by them. Altering our course toward the 95 spot, we were about 4 miles to the west when
we finally got the first fish in the boat. This was a 24 pound Tuna, one of two blind strikes. After
getting the fish in the boat I did a few figure 8’s in the area but there was no more action. 20
minutes later and two miles from the 95mJohn reeled in a 13 pound Dorado and we re-set the
lures. Just after putting the last line in, another Dorado struck, this time on the Marauder run on
400 pound mono leader. It took Randy a while to get this fish to the boat and I had John drop
back a live bait as he worked on the fish. I gaffed the 23 pound Male and put it into the fish box
and John reeled in the head of the Caballito he had dropped back. Wahoo cut! The lures went
back into the water and we worded the area for a bit longer, getting only one more strike that did
not hook up. We turned in toward the Gray Rock area for a few miles and then back out. A
good strike on the long rigger got Randy back in the chair and as he was working that fish,
another one was trying to eat the short rigger lure. It only took Randy about 5 minutes to get the
50 pound Sailfish that had struck to the boat and after a couple of pictures alongside the boat, the
fish was tagged and released. Off in the distance I could see a couple of boats stopped and
decided to go check them out. As we approached we could see the porpoise jumping and we
ended up getting two Yellowfin in the 15 pound class off of them, but only after working them
hard for about 90 minutes or more. The wind had started to blow and I turned us toward the
Chileno area. !5 minutes after leaving the Porpoise we had a hard strike on the bridge rod and I
handed it down to John. Knowing that Randy had been dreaming about catching a Marlin, he was
nice enough to had it off to Randy, who will now be known as “Randy Reel and Puke”! He never
let go of the rod, never let up on the pressure and did finally stop throwing up! It took him about
30 minutes to get the Striped Marlin, about 130 pounds of it and 9 feet long, to the boat. One eye
had been punctured by the hook so we took the fish. Lures back in the water, we continued in
toward the beach where I cleaned the fish as we drifted live bait. Sure enough, the chunk line we
developed attracted a nice Dorado and John worked the fish hard, getting it to the boat twice
before the knot attaching the leader to the line failed and the fish escaped. Oh well, that happens
sometimes. We were supposed to be at the dock at 5 PM since John had a dinner date with his
wife at 7:30 but we were an hour late. I hope she forgave him! It was a great day on the water
and now Randy is hooked on fishing! Thanks for a great time, and we hope to see you again!
