[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000] June 27- July 3, 2011[/#000000]


[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]Thisweek was interesting in that at the beginning we had morningtemperatures in the low 70's, daytime highs in the high 80's, sunnyskies and plenty of wind. At the end of the week we had mornings inthe 79-80 degree range, highs in the mid to high 90's, no wind tospeak of and cloudy skies. The remnants of the hurricane that struckthe eastern coast of Mexico earlier in the week finally made it to usand brought the clouds and a possibility of rain in the mountains. Having the wind die down was a big plus.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000] WATER: [/#000000][#000000]TheSea of Cortez remains warmer than the Pacific side of the Cape. Withwater temperatures in the 78-81 degree range, the Cortez side isaveraging 6 degrees warmer, and it is much cleaner water with verylittle off-color green to it. At the end of the week the surfaceconditions on both sides of the Cape wee excellent, but earlier inthe week the offshore areas were blustery and choppy with fairlylarge swells.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BAIT: [/#000000][#000000]Mackereland Mullet were easy to get this week at the normal $3 per bait,there were no Sardinas and only a few Mackerel to be had.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000] FISHING:[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BILLFISH[/#000000][#000000]: Early in the week there were Striped Marlin to be seen almosteverywhere, but the problem was they were not hungry, and those thatwere hungry were very picky. Throw out 6 baits and get six refusals,toss out one without a hook and it was eaten right away. Go down inleader size until you were running just straight line with no leaderand it did not make a difference. At the end of the week thingschanged! The fish were found right outside the bay, most of thembetween ½ and 5 miles out, and they were hungry. Not a wide openbite by any stretch, but much better than we had seen earlier in theweek. Most boats were able to get between two and four releases for5 or 6 bites, and rigged Ballyhoo worked wonders.[/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: CHANGE! As this is usually written on Sundaymorning and posted on Monday morning, I have to change what I hadoriginally written. I had said that the Tuna we had been seeing lastweek had gone away, but it appears that they had just vanished forthe first part of the week, only to re-appear on Sunday! We had twoboats out yesterday, and the both came back with between 13 and 15Yellowfin each, ranging in size between 12 and 40 pounds. We werenot the only ones either, almost all the fleet that went the correctdirection got into fish. The correct direction appeared to bebetween 150 and 200 degrees, and the distance to travel between 3 and20 miles. That area between shore and the 1,000 fathom line had fishboth associated and non-associated with porpoise.
[#000000]DORADO: As the water warmed up so did theDorado bite. Not really a hot bite right now, there were boatscoming in with between 1 and three Dorado between 15 and 25 poundsapiece. Most of these fish were caught around Punta Gorda early inthe week, but at the end of the week the warm water had moved infront of us and it was only a short distance to find them. My guessis that about 35% of the boats got a Dorado on board this week.[/#000000]
[#000000]WAHOO: I did not hear of any Wahoo beingcaught this week.[/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: Most of the inshore fishing thisweek was done on the Cortez side early in the week and a little wasdone close to the beach as far up the Pacific side and Los Arcos. Atthe end of the week the water had calmed down on the Pacific side andboats were able to venture farther north. Inshore action consistedof Sierra, Yellowtail, Amberjack, Roosterfish, Bonito, Lady-fish andNeedle-fish. There were some decent Snapper and grouper caught offthe bottom as well.[/#000000]
[#000000]FISH RECIPE: My recipe has been taking toomuch space so if you want to see it, check out my wordpress blog alittle later in the week, or subscribe to the blog and you willreceive an email as soon as I post it. Sorry about this last weeksno show, I got busy and forgot![/#000000]
[#000000]NOTES: Overcast, 80 degrees, no wind, 2groups out fishing and the beach walk waiting! My music for thisreport was a compilation of that retired surfer, Jack Johnson. Talkabout laid back and relaxing! [/#000000]
[#000000]Until next week, tight lines![/#000000]
