[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000] June 4-10, 2012[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]Itwas a very warm week, a preview of the summer to come as the highswere in the mid 90's and the lows only down to the high 70's. Add insome humidity and it was a bit sticky. We had mostly clear skieswith clouds moving into our area at the very end of the week. We hadno rain, as is normal, but it sure would be nice to get a bit rightnow, things are getting pretty dry around here.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000] WATER:[/#000000][#000000] The water is still in transition between the cool winter conditionsand the warm, blue summer status we so look forward to. Some yearsthis event only takes a couple of weeks to settle out, this year itappears we are in for a slightly longer event, perhaps a 6 weektransition time, a bit longer than normal but not rare. When thishappens we get dirty brown, red of green water that is warm, andsometimes cool blue water, the reverse of normal conditions. Astrong sub-surface current may swing against an underwater shelf andforce up cool/warm water in an area that has been experiencing theopposite conditions, or the surface currents can change directionsand strength overnight. Both of these events have been seen thisweek and the result is unpredictable conditions for fishing. At theend of this week we saw the water in front of Cabo change from 75degrees on Monday to 67 degrees on Saturday. On the East Cape we saw 81 degrees on the 10[/#000000][size 2][#000000]th[/#000000][#000000],68 degrees on the 15[/#000000][#000000]th[/#000000][#000000]and back to 77 degrees on the 16[/#000000][#000000]th[/#000000][#000000]. When these type of events happen fishing becomes a hunt, you have tocover a lot of water to find any fish, where they may have been foundthe day before is no indicator of where they will be the next day. The only real positive point to make concerning this weeks oceanconditions is the fact that the wind was not too strong, all areasaround Cabo were fishable.[/#000000][/size][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BAIT: [/#000000][#000000]Caballitoand Mullet were available at the normal $3 per bait.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000] FISHING:[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BILLFISH[/#000000][#000000]: Offshore fishing for Marlin this past week was an exercise inpatience, something any fisherman need in abundance. In our case thefish were not in the same area every day, and when you did find aMarlin or two, getting them to bite was difficult. There were fishcaught, but not any numbers. As was the case last week, the bestareas were outside the 1,000 fathom line where the water cleared upjust a bit. Just because there were more fish there did not meanthey bit better, just that you felt you were in the right spotbecause you saw more! The catch was scattered from all over, fromway outside at 40 miles to just off the beach in 200 feet of water. No rhyme or reason, just plain luck. I thought that with the waterin this condition there would be more Swordfish caught, but reportedsightings were rare.[/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: I heard of no Yellowfin again this week. If thewater cleans p we should start to see these fish show in numbers. Iknow that several weeks ago when the water at the East Cape was cleanthey were seeing good numbers of fish in decent size categories, soit is just a matter of time and patience.
[#000000]DORADO: In a repeat of last weeks openingline in the Dorado category, things change from week to week. Thisweek there were a few Dorado fund, but they were found on the Pacificside of Cabo, closer to the beach. No great numbers, or very largefish, but there were a few caught. I did not hear of any large fishcaught this week, as opposed to last week.[/#000000]
[#000000]WAHOO: I haven't seen one of these fish inquite a while, and did not hear of any caught this past week.[/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: While slow, this type of fishingout-shown the offshore fishing by a wide margin. Scattered Sierraand Roosterfish were the mainstays of the inshore fishery while anoccasional Yellowtail, Amberjack and Snapper lent a bit ofanticipation about what was biting. The off-color water kept thebite down according to the Panga Captains. Almost all the fishingwas on the Pacific side as the area from the beach to 3 milesoffshore from Gray Rock to Puerto Los Cabos was closed to boats dueto security issues surrounding the G20 economic conference.[/#000000]

[#000000]NOTES: Patience fishermen, patience! Thesewater conditions will not last forever! We have had few fishermenthis week due to the G20 conference, and do not expect many morevisitors until next weekend. Hopefully the water conditions willhave settled by then and the fish will be in full feeding mode! Keeping our fingers crossed this hard may mean loss of circulationand bruising, but if it works it's worth it! Well, off to the beachfor our Sunday morning stroll, check out the report next week to seeif the finger crossing has worked! Until then, tight lines![/#000000]
