CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MARCH 21-27, 2004
WEATHER: The week started out all right with little wind and the warm waters close to
home, but on Monday it started to blow again. The wind kept up through Wednesday and then
dropped off. It was from the northwest and the west and cooled things off a bit. A little cloud
cover accompanied it, but no rain. Our evening lows were in the high 60’s and daytime highs
were around the mid 90’s. At the end of the week we were again into sunny skies and just a light
breeze.
WATER: We started out the week with warm water close to home, but then the wind started
blowing and the currents kicked in. By Tuesday the warm water had gotten as far as 30 miles to
the east and had taken all the Marlin and Dorado with it. The temperature break there was
strongly defined but the fishing conditions were bad. Of course this meant that the conditions on
the Pacific side of the Cape were also bad. Later in the week the wind died down and so did the
current and the warm water started to get closer. The Pacific side out to the San Jaime remained
in the low to mid 60’s while the warm 73 degree water came back in as close as 18 miles at the
end of the week on the Cortez side. The temp break on the Cortez side was 7 degrees over a 3
mile distance and there was a color break as well. Lets hope it keeps coming in and the wind
stays down!
BAIT: Almost all the bait this week was small Caballito and they were the normal $2 per bait.
There were Sardinas at $20 a bucket and some small Mackerel as well at the normal $2 per piece.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Well, it changes on an almost daily basis! The beginning and the end of the week
saw some Billfish being caught, almost all of them being Striped Marlin. These fish were on the
warm side of the Cape, the Cortez side and the bite was a pretty even mix on bait and lures. The
fish were running between #120 and #180. At the beginning of the week it was not uncommon
for the guys to be spotting a couple dozen or more Striped Marlin a trip. Petrelero color seemed
to work well as almost everything out there was feeding on squid. A couple of boats reported
they tied into Swordfish in the cold water, and there were a few sighted on the surface that would
not bite.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: This week the Yellowfin Tuna repeated last weeks size and areas, except
that there were fewer of the large fish caught. Also there seemed to be fewer caught overall.
Most of the fish were small footballs, averaging #6-#8. I did see some fish come in that were in
the #40-#50 range. A lot of the small fish were caught in to blind while the larger fish were
associated with the Porpoise. Due to the strong mid-week winds most of the fishing took place
on the Cortez side of the Cape.
DORADO: Green water close to home for most of the week resulted in a slackening of the
Dorado catch. There were Dorado being caught as long as you were fishing the warm water, but
the heavy wind kept a lot of boats from making the 30 mile trip. Once in the area, lures in
Petrelero color worked well, as they did for the Marlin, since there were large amounts of squid at
the temperature break. The Dorado that were found there were nice ones too, with most of the
fish in the #25-#45 range. A live bait dropped back after a hook-up on a lure sure worked well!
WAHOO: I did not see a real Wahoo flag this week, but that does not mean there were none
caught.
INSHORE: Nice Sierra were still available on the Cortez side of the Cape with the best action
taking place around the El Tule area. Some small Roosterfish are showing as well with most of
the fish in the 5 pound range. With the influx of cold water at the Cape, we had a return on the
Yellowtail bite also. Most of the fish were small, from #5 to #15, and dropping down small live
Mackerel seemed to be the key to getting a few of them in the boat.
NOTES: Sure am glad I am not a weather forecaster, I would never be right! Most of the time
we just have to hope that things are going to be good when people make their reservations! This
week the wind really hurt us, but there was some decent action at the beginning and end of the
week Our fingers are crossed that the warm water comes in close and fishing improves quickly!
This weeks report was written to the music of Roger Waters on the Sony DVD “In the Flesh”,
recorded live in Portland, Oregon in 2000. I grew up on this music, so why is he looking so old
while I feel so young? Until next week, good luck and tight lines!
