[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000] May 21-27, 2012[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]Hereat the tip of the Cape the wind blew almost all week long, comingmostly from the northwest but sometimes shifting and coming from thesouthwest. Gusting to 30 knots at times, it was fairly steady duringthe middle of the week, only to die off on Sunday morning. As youtraveled up the coast toward San Jose the effect was much lessnoticeable. We had mostly sunny skies this week with the nighttimelows ranging from 62 degrees to 74 degrees and the daytime highsaveraged 82 degrees, just about perfect![/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000] WATER: [/#000000][#000000]Thereis not much to say about our water conditions that are good, at leastfor offshore fishing. The strong currents that came in from thePacific side last week really have had a lasting effect. The wateron the Pacific side from the coastline out to the Golden Gate Banksand the San Jaime Banks remains a cold 56 degrees and green. On theBanks and to the west it warms a bit to 62 degrees but becomes evenmore dirty green. Up toward San Jose on the Cortez side the waterremains in the 62-64 degree range and green while along the beach upto San Jose the water became very green and dirty at the end of theweek. Warm water finally appears as you reach Punta Gorda and fromthe beach out to about three miles it is 75 degrees, continuing on upthe coast to Los Frailes. Due to the continuing wind the water onthe Pacific side remained mostly unfishable unless you were in aPanga hanging close to the beach, and that was not much more thanfive miles up, after that it was nasty water with swells at 4-6 feetand the wind gusting to 30 knots. On the Cortez side the swells weremuch smaller at the start of the week and now at the end of the weekwe are seeing the effects of Hurricane Bud, now dissipated and veryfar south of us. The swells continue to build and will remain largefor the next couple of days, but here on Sunday we are seeing 6-8feet from the south. The surfers are happy![/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BAIT: [/#000000][#000000]Justabout the only live bait this week was Caballito at the normal $3 perbait. The large swells at the end of the week almost shut off theSardina netting and the water is too cold and dirty for the Mackerel,I am surprised to see there are still Caballito out there![/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000] FISHING:[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BILLFISH[/#000000][#000000]: Well, as I reported last week at the end of the IGFA OffshoreChampionship, the cold water shocked the Striped Marlin and the bitepretty much shut down with 47 teams releasing only 8 Marlin on thelast day. The situation has not changed much as the fish are stillscarce in our area. Boats that are targetting Marlin have to runalmost 50 miles to get into that warm water toward Los Frailes, andeven when they get there, getting a fish to bite is a coin toss. Afew fish have been found closer to home in the colder water but thesefish have been very reluctant to bite. My guess is that only 20% ofthe boats are seeing Marlin and out of them, maybe 20% are gettingbit. As a result I have been recommending to our anglers that theytarget something beside Marlin, like inshore fishing for Yellowtail.[/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Tuna bite remained off this week with only afew football sized fish caught, and most of them were caught in theblind with no porpoise or birds to indicate their presence.
[#000000]DORADO: I saw no Dorado brought to the docksthis week but heard of a few very small ones of about 8 pounds comingfrom the direction of San Jose. No details on location or bait, justthat there were a few small ones.[/#000000]
[#000000]WAHOO: Dedicated anglers getting to thegrounds early up in the Punta Gorda area reported having a few Wahoobites, and I did have one Captain tell me he lost a lure to a wahoooffshore around the 1150, but I did not hear of any being brought inthis week.[/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: There is no doubt in my mind thatinshore fishing was the way to go this week as the bite forYellowtail remained strong on the Cortez side of the Cape and therewas still a decent bite on Sierra between the lighthouse and the archon the Pacific side as well as off of the Cabo Del Sol area. Mix insome decent grouper to 25 pounds, a few nice Snapper and occasionallya school of Pompano moving through and there was pretty consistentaction. The lack of Sardines at the end of the week hurt the inshorefishing just a little bit, but not a lot.[/#000000]
[#000000]FISH RECIPE: Check the blog for this weeksrecipe! [/#000000]
[#000000]NOTES: Beach time and I think it will be aproblem to keep the puppy from getting into the surf, she loves toswim and the swells might be a bit much today. I wrote this reportto the music of her snoring at my feet and the birds chirping outsideas the sun comes up! Until next week, tight lines![/#000000]
[#000000]Happy Memorial Day to All! [/#000000]
