[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000]October 23-30, 2011[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]MyFavorite time of the year, the fish are biting, the hot hot humiddays have gone away. Daytime high's in the low 90's, nighttime low70's. Light breezes in the afternoons. No need for air conditioning. And the fish are biting![/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000] WATER: [/#000000][#000000]The best fishing has been on the Pacific side with San Jaime andGolden Gate Banks holding temperatures of 83-84 degrees and the bestfishing. Water temps over by Gorda Banks are about 84-87, but theydon't seem to be holding much fish there. The Pacific side is theplace to be! [/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BAIT: [/#000000][#000000]Bait,at least good live bait was hard to come by this week. Many of theboats were going with frozen Ballyhoo instead, at least you could getthose, but they were expensive at $4 each. There were a few livebaits of the larger size, but not much in the way of quality baits. Toward San Jose you could get decent Sardinas, and the farther yougot from Cabo the more you got for your money.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000] FISHING:[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BILLFISH[/#000000][#000000]: The billfish have picked up this week, more striped marlin arebeing caught, and the sailfish numbers are remaining up there also. They usually feed with the dorado, but have heard reports of thesailfish being caught along side the yellowfin. I did not hear ofany large blue or black marlin this, week, but some in the 100-200 lbrange. George: We caught Sailfish and Striped Marlin outside MagBay on the way down, the water was 81 degrees and there were decentconcentrations of Striped Marlin at the south end of the Ridge and onthe lower Thetis Bank. More Sailfish again locally at the San JaimeBank but we did not have a Blue or Black come in on the lures theentire trip.[/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Tuna Tuna Tuna, I want Sushi! Lots of tuna aroundwhich is good thing with the Western Outdoor News Tuna Jackpot comingup this Thursday and Friday. Most of the tuna I have seen coming inhave been in the 30-40 lb range with a few 60 -100lb range. Reportsof 200+ lb fish jumping, but couldn't get them to bite. Tossingballyhoo, mackerel, cedar plugs, they just wouldn't bite. Whoeverfigures out what they want will make some money this week if they arein the tournament! George: We were hoping to fish the Finger Bankon the way down and tried to time it so we could, but instead wepassed the bank at 4AM. I saw three long range boats out of SanDiego anchored up as well as a few private boats, but there was noone on the decks fishing except for a deckhand on each boat keepingthe chum going. I heard one private boat captain talking to anotheron the radio and he reported catching three Yellowfin over 200 poundswhile fly-lining live mackerel, but he was there for two days. Isaw nice meter marks from big fish on the west side of the GoldenGate Bank but they were deep, 250 to 300 feet. Locally the boatswere finding the football and school fish just 6-10 miles off thebeach on the Pacific side, but every school had a wad of boatsworking it.
[#000000]DORADO: Lots, and lots of dorado this weekagain. If you are trolling inshore, they are hard to miss. A lot ofsmall ones, I even saw someone with a 2 lb fish the other day. Normally those are thrown back, but this one didn't make it. Most ofthe fish are in the 8-15 lb, with some hitting the 30lb mark. George: We gave up on Dorado after a while, it was hard to avoidthem! You only need so many, after that they were getting in theway![/#000000]
[#000000]WAHOO: I have seen a couple wahoo flagsthis week. Fish in the 30 lb range. Not usually a lot this time ofyear. George: The owner of the boat I came down on caught hispersonal best at 65 pounds off of the upper Thetis Bank and we hadquite a few other strikes during the trip, all of them in 15 to 30fathoms of water whenever we neared shore.[/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: The water temperatures arestaying warm, so still some nice roosterfish around, snapper,groupers, almost November, but I haven't seen any sierra yet. TheDorado fishing is also good close to shore. [/#000000]
[#000000]FISH RECIPE: posted on the blog Thursday orFriday.[/#000000]
[#000000]NOTES: As you have noticed, this fishingreport is a little short. Most of you have figured out that I, Mary,am writing the report today. George will be back sometime today andgive you a better report. He left Monday to bring a boat down andstopped to fish a few days at Mag Bay. He was hoping to spend a fewhours at Finger Banks this morning. All I know for sure is that hecaught a couple of 50 lb wahoo. I didn't pay attention to anythingelse he caught, I was daydreaming about how I am going to eat some ofthat wahoo! My favorite Sam Choy recipe with the mango salsa! I'llsee if I can get him to give you all a trip report for the ride down.[/#000000]
[#000000]In the meantime Tight Lines and good luck toall of you in the Tuna Tournament![/#000000]
