Cabo Fish Report
July 31-August 6, 2006
WEATHER: We had partly cloudy skies most of the week with mostly cloudy skies ending the week on Sunday. Thank goodness there were no storms in our area this week. Our daytime highs were an average of 94 degrees with our nighttime lows in the mid 70’s. Most of the week we had at least a slight breeze that kept things from getting too muggy, but when the wind did die down, the humidity really made you sweat.
WATER: Water conditions were great this week with no storms on the horizon. Swells on the Pacific side remained at 3-5 feet and on the Cortez side were averaging 1-2 feet in our area. The Sea of Cortez had the warmer water with most of the areas fished (95 Spot, 1150, Gorda Banks) averaging 85 degrees. On the Pacific side of the Cape there was an area of cold, green water than ran from the Lighthouse out to the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Banks. This water was in the mid 70’s and at the 1,000-fathom line it warmed to 80-82 degrees and really cleared up.
BAIT: There were a couple of days this week when bait was not readily available unless you were one of the first boats out, and it seemed to be mostly Caballito and Mullet when you could get them. The price remained steady at $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: We are still catching the Striped Marlin, Blue Marlin and Black Marlin here in Cabo. The most action seems to be on the Striped Marlin with Blues taking second place. Almost every boat that has gone out has had a shot at a Billfish this week, and a few lucky boats have released multiple fish. Most of the action has taken place along the normal areas on the Cortez side, the 95 Spot, the 1150 and the Gorda Banks and on the Pacific side out around the 1,000-fathom line. That makes sense, as that is where the water is the right color and temperature. Up on the East Cape this week the East Cape Bisbee Tournament was held. I believe there were around 36 teams entered for three days of fishing, but there were only 2 qualifying fish (over #300) weighed in. There were plenty of smaller Billfish offering action though with almost every team releasing Marlin.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Yellowfin were once more the fish of the week as almost every boat that went the right direction was able to get into the fish. Once again they were associated with the Porpoise and almost all the action was out around the 1,000-fathom line. Small feathers in dark colors and small hootchies in red were the most productive lures this week. Most of the fish were footballs but a few schools of larger fish to 50 pounds were found as well. I heard reports of some nice fish coming in from the Gorda Banks area but you had to be there early and the better fish were caught on Sardines.
DORADO: The Dorado remained small at an average of 10 pounds but there were enough of the 30-pound fish around to make it interesting. Once again most of the action was closer to shore, within 5 miles of the beach on the Cortez side. The greener water on the Pacific seemed to have pushed the fish back. Hopefully in this next week some floating debris kicked up by last weeks storm swells will come in from the north and bring some fish with it!
WAHOO: I saw a few Wahoo flags this week and discovered that they were all caught very early in the morning by boats running the 50-100 fathom line on the Cortez side of the Cape. A couple of the fish were very nice at 60 pounds while the rest were around 20-30 pounds. Larger lures in dark colors got hit the most. These boats were fishing for Black Marlin and just happened into the Wahoo. After asking, I found that none of the angers reported multiple strikes.
INSHORE: Inshore on the Pacific was still an iffy thing except for boats working right in the rocks for Snapper. Most of the inshore action took place on the Cortez side and there were some decent Roosterfish as well as Pargo and Grouper. The majority of the Pangas were working a bit farther out for Dorado.
NOTES: Patience is the key as things slowly improve. The fishing is getting better week-by-week. The Tuna and Dorado action is not quite up to what we were hoping for, but the Marlin fishing has definitely exceeded expectations. Until next week, Tight Lines!
