Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques
|

Category: California Freshwater Lakes

Tip&Trick Description 1:
My first time fishing Lake Cachuma was this last weekend April 27th 2002 and I will let you in on a secret this is a fine lake with great staff excellent fishing and abundant campsites. I was very impressed with the guys at the marina ( Jim and Allen) for giving us great tips for fishing their lake without holding back any information necessary for a first timer to their lake. Right out of the marina he told me to troll straight thru the center of the lake and we would be sure to get bit and he was right. Less than 10 minutes from the launch ramp right where he suggested we caught the first fish a nice largemouth bass about 3-4 lbs and lost the first hook up as we were surprised to get a strike so soon. This fish jumped clear out of the water and fought like a much larger fish than it actually ended up being. |
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
We released the bass and continued anxious to get to the trout which is what we were after. On the way to the next spot Jim and Allen had given us directions to we saw 4 deer on the shore grazing like they owned the place (which I guess they did) We set our sites on the points jetting out along the far side of the lake about 200 feet offshore. Instantly off one of the points both the reels went off as we were trolling rainbow trout colored Yo-zuri Emperor Minnows and L-Jack series lures on 4 and 6 lb test at a fairly slow troll. First fish fell off but I managed to get mine to the boat and into it for supper that evening. We did a turn around and went right back over the same spot and sure enough another missed opportunity. Back we went again with another 2 strikes managing to get one in the boat for a better meal for the 3 of us eating that night. Back and forth again for nothing and we decided to give the opposite bank a try. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
On the other side of the lake were the serious bass guy's fishing the bow of their sleek boats with the chairs and trolling motor on the bow. We steered clear of them and moved again about 200 feet off the shoreline and continued our trolling pattern slow and parallel to shore. We started noticing the wind more and more as we headed back towards the launch ramp noticing there was only one jacket made it to the boat and it was mine! We again managed to get another rainbow to strike right out of the water it jumped and then a small battle and into the boat it came. We were done now 1 fish each for dinner and one released bass in about 2 hours fishing time. Now it was back to camp to make dinner and get warm. A jacket is a good thing to bring on any lake as the wind always decides to blow in the afternoon. I must tell you that the guy's at the marina tackle shop know their stuff about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Without their tips we may have come home empty handed as several others had that day. Good luck if you get a chance to fish Lake Cachuma and be sure to say hello the the great guys at the tackle shop near the launch ramp it may pay off big time for you in the long run.....Fish on! <'))))>< |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
December14, 2014
We have seen crowds of tourists drop off this past week, this is the usual
scenario during the time frame immediately after the Thanksgiving vacation
and before the Christmas and New Year Holiday season. Families have other
priorities now, as they prepare for upcoming events. This is a great time
to visit now, with light crowds, this means minimal fishing pressure,
weather is ideal, lows around 60 degrees and highs in the low 80s. Mostly
clear sunny skies, winds have been light to moderate recently and anglers
enjoyed comfortable ocean conditions.
Ocean water temperatures ranged from 78 to 81 throughout the region and
outside of Cabo San Lucas currents were warmer at 82 degrees. This trend is
holding at least several degrees higher than what would be normal for this
time period, could mean that this might be another warm water winter, which
in turn can keep pelagic gamefish species hanging around local fishing
grounds throughout the winter. Global weather patterns are not easy to
predict, will be crazy if the wahoo do not migrate south for a second year
in a row.
Supplies of sardinas are more scattered now, being found schooling near
Cerro Colorado and towards Los Frailes, pangeros are netting these baitfish
close to shore and supplying sportfishing charters with sufficient supplies
of these preferred baitfish. Most common species now being successfully
targeted, have been yellowfin tuna and white skipjack, also called white
tuna and the scientific name is Katsuwonus Pelamis. These fish are
excellent fighters, highly sought after for their flesh and normally range
from 8 to 15 lb., with the IGFA record listed at 41 pounds. Somewhat rare
species and not often are they found any further north of Southern Baja.
Anglers have found that the action has been shifting from area to area
almost on a daily basis, with one area being red hot one day and then
producing little activity the next and in recent days the action has moved
from where it had been on the Gordo Banks and closer to shore off of Punta
Gorda, to areas further north near Vinorama. Yellowfin tuna have averaged
10 to 25 lb. and are striking on both dead and live sardinas, skipjack of
the black and white varieties are mixed in with the schooling yellowfin.
Some days anglers had to scratch to land three or four tuna and on other
days easy limits were accounted for.
There is still a chance at hooking into a cow sized tuna on the Gordo
Banks, mid-week there were a couple of yellowfin tuna weighing over 150
lbs. landed, but there are only a handful of the larger tuna being hooked
into by anglers specifically targeting these fish. With warmer currents
holding steady we might see cows caught as late as the New Year.
Dorado have been hard to find on a consistent basis, scattered in small
schools, most of these fish weighing 10 to 20 pounds, anglers were
fortunate to land a couple of these gamesters, about equal chances using
various baits or on trolled lures. Wahoo action slowed down, not they these
fish have left the area, they just have become more elusive, their
preferred bait source of live chihuil have become harder to catch. Plenty
of pesky sea lions causing havoc as well, making these baitfish very
skittish.
Quite a few sierra now being found close to shore, a few roosterfish,
bottom action has been limited, more triggerfish than anything else, a few
pompano, pargo and cabrilla in the mix.
A few sailfish and striped marlin scattered offshore, no concentrations of
billfish, though later this month we do expect to see the season’s first
influx from the north, of migrating striped marlin, following their food
source, typically this action first starts on the Pacific Banks, before
shifting in the direction of the Sea of Cortez.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 76 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of:
4 sailfish, 5 striped marlin, 215 yellowfin tuna, 240 white skipjack, 12
wahoo,12 roosterfish, 15 jack crevalle, 80 sierra, 16 bonito, 3 amberjack,
9 pompano, 19 pargo,
18 cabrilla and 35 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
