[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000]February 27 – March 4, 2012[/#000000]


[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]Weonce again started the week with gusty days and partly cloudy skies,but by the end of the week we had great weather. With lows in themid 60's and highs in the high 80's you could not ask for moreperfect weather! As the week worked it's way toward the end, thewinds started to die off a bit and when they did start each day, itwas later and later. As I said, at the end of the week it was as godas you can get![/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000] WATER: [/#000000][#000000]At the end of the week the water along the Pacific side from theshore out to the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Banks showed a prettyeven 71 degrees as far north as Todo Santos. On the Cortez side ofthe Cape the water remained the same 71 degrees but extended muchfarther offshore, out to the 1,000 fathom line, and then it warmed upto 74 degrees just to our south.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BAIT: [/#000000][#000000]Mackereland Caballito were the baits available at the normal $3 each andthere were actually some decent numbers of Sardines to be found atthe normal $25 a scoop.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000] FISHING:[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BILLFISH[/#000000][#000000]: One day the bite is on, the next day it is off, no consistency inanything except in the area the fish were found. Most of the fishwere in the area between the 95 Spot and the 1150. Catches variedbetween 0 and 3 fish per boat and more fish were seen than werecaught. The best bait appeared to be Mackerel, but at times theywould ignore the mackerel and only eat a Caballito, other times theywould not eat anything. There are some decent schools of Mackerelshowing up on the Pacific side but for some reason not a lot ofMarlin are in the same areas.[/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: These fish were pretty much non-existent for muchof the week, at least until Saturday. All of a sudden, less than 6miles off the arch several schools showed up and the boats that werethere managed to limit out on fish to 25 pounds. Cedar plugs andsmall feathers were the key to multiple hook-ups. ElsewhereYellowfin were scarce to absent.
[#000000]DORADO: There were scattered Dorado foundoffshore in the warm 74 degree water, and these fish were nice sized,but there sure were not many of them. A few boats managed to catchfish to 30 pounds but they were not there thick enough to focus on,instead they were incidental catches for boats focusing on Marlin. There were scattered smaller fish to 10 pounds caught near shore byboats fishing for Sierra and Yellowtail, but once again not enough ofthem for any focused effort.[/#000000]
[#000000]WAHOO: What Hoo? No reports this week, atleast from anyone I heard from.[/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: Well, things sure can change fromweek to week. This week Yellowtail re-gained the title of fish ofthe week, but you had to go to the Pacific side to have a decent shotat them. On the Cortez side of the Cape things inshore pretty muchwere concentrated on Sierra, Snapper and Grouper. Up in the San Josearea the water was calm, there were few Yellowfin or Yellowtail andit seems that the effort was mainly in the area of the San LouisBank. On the Pacific side the yellowtail were fairly thick, and witha good depth sounder a boat could get on the fish time after time. Spread out between the arch and Marguerite, fishing in water between120 and 200 feet in depth brought in consistent catches of fishbetween 15 and 30 pounds, often limits for anglers. A mix of livebait, yo-yo's and diamond jigs did well. There were Sierra in thearea as well for anglers whose arms grew too tired to reel in anotherYellowtail![/#000000]
[#000000]FISH RECIPE: Check the blog for this weeksrecipe! [/#000000]
[#000000]NOTES: Perfect weather at the end of theweek as well as some absolutely great inshore fishing. Now if onlythe Striped Marlin would show up in force and the Tuna arrive andstay it would be perfect fishing as well, but we will take what wecan get, and that is not at all bad right now! Full moon is in fourdays so if the warm water stays we might see a decent showing ofWahoo, we will just have to wait and see. [/#000000]
[#000000]Have a great week, catch lots of fish, andget those reservations for Cabo made![/#000000]
