[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000] October 29-November 4, 2012[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]Itwas a pleasure this week to be out and about in Cabo as our daytimehighs never seemed to top the mid 90's. That was the middle of theday and even then there was so little humidity it did not feel hot. At night we got into the mid 70's, not cool enough for a sweater butperfect for walking around. As a matter of fact, this week wasperfect for hanging at the beach, getting out on the golf course orspending time on the water. With clear skies all week long plenty ofvisitors were able to work on their tans as well.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]WATER: [/#000000][#000000]ThePacific side of the Cape had swells at 2-5 feet all week long, andwith light breezes from the northwest most of the week there was someslight chop late in the day, but never anything uncomfortable. Thewater between San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks averaged 82 degreeswhile the water right along the beach was several degrees warmer. Onthe Cortez side the water was several degrees warmer at 85 degrees atthe beginning of the week and dropping an average of ½ to 1 degreeat the end of the week. With swells at small to non-existent thewater was almost like glass with light wind riffles until Saturday. On Saturday the wind changed direction and started coming from theEast. This gave a bit of chop to the water but with the small swellsit was nothing to worry about. As the week went on the currentspushed the warmer water from the Cortez side across the tip of theCape and it's influence was starting to be felt directly off of theCape, which had been a continuation of the Pacific side early in theweek.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BAIT: [/#000000][#000000]Caballito and Mullet could be had at $3 each, but the number ofMullet seem to be dropping off. Once the water cools a few moredegrees there should be a few Mackerel showing up as well. Therewere Sardinas at $25 a bucket and you could get frozen horseBally-hoo at $3 each.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000] FISHING:[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BILLFISH[/#000000][#000000]: The number of Striped Marlin caught this week was not impressive, myguess is that about 20% of the boats managed to get a billfish. Afew boats managed to get their anglers into two fish, but they werethe exception. Most of the action seemed to happen on the Pacificside right in the transition zone between the warm and slightlycooler water off of the beach, but there were also fish found on theCortez side at the 95 Spot and the 1150, though those fish were morelikely to just look at a lure or bait than eat. There are still afew Sailfish around as well, but once again they are not in thenumbers we were seeing a month ago. I did not hear of any large Blueor Black Marlin being caught this week, but there were several smallones reported released, and I did see several small Blues broughtinto the main dock area.[/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: There has been a very good bite on football sizedYellowfin tuna from 8 to 15 pounds near shore between Grey Rock andPalmilla this week. These Yellowfin are mixed in with “White”Skipjack in the same size range and have offered anglers great actionall morning long as long as the Sardinas chum lasts. With theseSkipjack being good eating, unlike the “Black” Skipjack (with thethree black spots at the base of the pectoral fin) there has beenplenty of good eating fish available. For larger Yellowfin almostthe only other option was working the grounds at the Gorda Banks. There were not a large number of fish caught every day, but therewere quality fish. Putting in the time while drifting live baits orslow trolling a down-rigger or chunking cut bait and Sardinassometimes resulted in a cow Yellowfin over 200 pounds. Offshore theaction was extremely slow as the pods of porpoise that were foundtended not to have any fish associated with them. There were a fewexceptions, but the fish were not large ones, mainly in the 20-30pound class. I guess you can figure out where most of the boats inthis weeks Tuna tournament are going to be fishing, huh?
[#000000]DORADO: Good one week and not the next,then good again, what can we say? The Dorado action this week wasvery good with almost everyone wanting them coming in with limits. There was a lot of consistent, but scattered action along the Pacificcoastline as boats worked their way from the arch all the way to TodoSantos. One fish here, two fish there, and so on until a limit washad. A few boats were able to find floating debris offshore andfilled limits working one spot, but most boats on the Pacific had tocover ground. On the Cortez side, boats that were working theYellowfin and Skipjack just off the beach also had some good Doradoaction as the chumming attracted these fish as well. It seems thatthe fish found on the Pacific side were slightly larger averaging 15pounds while the fish with the tuna were averaging 10 pounds.[/#000000]
[#000000]WAHOO: Wahoo action was sporadic this week,unlike the action last week. A few fish were caught, and the heavychumming by boats fishing tuna brought Wahoo as well as the Doradointo the area. There were a few baits cut off that the anglers neverknew had been touched as the razor toothed fish swiftly slicedthrough the light mono leader, but still a few were landed. Boatstrolling Rapallas and Marauders did fair as they worked the drop-offsalong the beach and pulled them over the high spots, but a lot oftime was spent for just a few fish overall.[/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: You can almost consider theYellowfin, Skipjack and Dorado bite as inshore fishing since the mainconcentration was in less than 300 feet of water, and since it hasbeen so good, few of the Pangas did any fishing right on the beach. Those that did found a few smaller sized Roosterfish, plenty ofNeedle-fish, a scattering of Jack Crevalle but not a lot of anythingelse. I did hear of a few Sierra being caught, but not any largenumbers.[/#000000]
[#000000]FISH RECIPE: Check the blog for this weeksrecipe! [/#000000]
[#000000]NOTES: The big news this week is theYamaha/Western Outdoor News Tuna Tournament. It is only $800 toenter so it is affordable to everyone, which has made it known as theBlue-Collar or Working Mans tournament. There are jackpots,drawings, prizes and parties galore. Registration is on Wednesdaywith the fishing taking place on Thursday and Friday with the awardsceremony on Saturday. You can get more information at the officialwebsite, [url "http://www.loscabostunajackpot.com/"][font "Tahoma"][#000099]www.loscabostunajackpot.com[/#000099][/font][/url]. It makes for a hectic week, and it's lots of fun. I have knowteams to put together enough money to enter and never fish or plan tofish, they just want a chance to win the prizes and attend theparties! I will give the results in next weeks report if you want tocheck it out. This weeks report was written to the music ofviolinist Alex Dupue and guitarist Miguel De Hoyos on their album“Underground Whispers in A”. Google these guys and check outthe music!
