Feb 15, 2009; 04:24PM - Make 'Em Last : Save A Grub

Author Name: Nathan
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 1:
Make your grubs, curly tails, dingers, etc last by sliding the grub past the eye of the hook and then stick a toothpick/shaved wood into the eye and cut the ends. This prevents throwing the grub off even after a few hits. Also play with the cutting to change a lure's action. |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT NOVEMBER 11-17, 2002
WEATHER: Once again we have had wonderful weather
here in Cabo. Our nighttime lows
have reached the mid 60�s except on Thursday night
when it only got to about 75 degrees with a
lot of humidity. We actually had to turn on the
a.c. to be comfortable. Daytime highs have
reached the 90 degree mark on occasion but except
for Thursday, they have been very
comfortable. No rain and only scattered clouds all
week long. Early in the week steady breeze
from the northwest but later on it shifted a bit
and on Wednesday came from the south then just
died! (City Street Life)
WATER: The surface conditions on both the Sea of
Cortez and the Pacific are calm now, with
slight 1-4 foot seas. There were 3-5 foot swells
with wind chop early in the week. Water temps
have pretty much remained in the 80-83 degree range
within 30 miles or more of the Cape and the
temperature break is a long way out, 60 miles to
the southwest or 30 miles to the northwest.
Both these areas are showing a 5 degree change
within a distance of two miles or less. This area
of warm water that is wrapped around the Cape right
not seems to be moving slowly to the
southwest and away. (Self Preservation)
BAIT: Both Caballito and some Mackerel have been
available this week at the usual $2 per bait.
There have been Sardinas as well, and as normal
when they are not really thick, the price has been
a bit high, in the area of $20-$25 per small scoop.
(Full Moon Risin�)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: As the full moon approaches the Marlin
have started to bite better. It has not been
uncommon for boats to get multiple shots at the
Striped Marlin. They have been found from 2 to
30 miles out on both the Pacific and the Cortez
side, often in small groups. The bite had been a
mix of both bait and lures with live Mackerel out-
performing the Caballito and Bleeding mackerel
colors on lures working best. There are still Blue
Marlin around but not in great numbers.
(Funky Reggae Rock)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Dolphin pods have been the key for
both football fish and some of the
larger schoolies, as well as a few #200 fish.
There has been no concentration close to the Cape
as the fish have moved considerably every day. A
few of the private yachts coming down the
coast have reported concentrations of fish in the
area of the Finger Banks, over 50 miles north.
Here, six inch feathers, cedar plugs and Marauders
have worked well on the football and
schoolies, while the larger fish have been mostly
on live bait. (Charo Luz)
DORADO: This weeks bright spot for sure, it seems
as if the fishing for these acrobats just
keeps getting better. Many of the fish are in the
20-30 pound class, perfect for filleting, but there
have been larger fish caught as well. As is normal
for Dorado, finding the first fish is the key to
getting the school. Most of the fish have first
been spotted under working Frigate birds on the
Pacific side, fairly near the beach. Bright
colored lures from 6-8 inches have attracted the
first
fish and live bait has gotten the larger ones.
Most boats focusing on Dorado have been able to get
the 2 fish per person limit for their clients, then
releasing the rest. (Survive)
WAHOO: We had a pretty good Wahoo bite this week
and it did not occur very far out. A lot of
fish were caught off of Gray Rock and Cabo Falso.
Almost any point held a fish or two and most
of them were in the 40 pound class. A few boats
were covered up as small packs attacked the
lures, and many of the fish left the area with
souvenirs as their razor teeth cut through the mono
leaders on most of the lures. Rapala Magnum CD�s
and Braid Marauders in both black/purple
and orange/black worked very well. (Everybody�s
Bizness)
INSHORE: All the normal pelagics were targeted by
the Panga fleet this week as they all could
be found fairly near. With Wahoo biting well and
it being almost a sure thing for Dorado, few of
them were focusing on the traditional nearshore
fish. There were small Roosterfish accounted
for, mostly on the Cortez side of the Cape, and
there was good fishing for Snapper when the tide
was right, as well as good fishing for grouper. I
heard of no large fish caught this week but did
see one grouper in the 80 pound class and several
Snappers in the 10 pound class in fish holds.
(Charity)
NOTES: If anyone reading these reports has
questions about fishing in Cabo or just Saltwater
fishing in general, feel free to check the �Ask
The Captain� section at www.flyhooker.com , my
homepage. I have just gotten the bugs worked out
and will be answering questions each morning.
Ah, we finally have outdoor live music back in
town! This week on Tuesday and Thursday at the
Tanga-Tanga bar, the reggae group �Riddim Forz�
was playing between 3 and 6pm. Last year
the city shut down outdoor music due to the
complaints of residents in the �Pedregal�, the
exclusive housing area above town. Those
complaints were all voiced due to the nighttime bar
bands and Brad, the owner of the Tanga-Tanga
figures that if the music is over by 6pm there
won�t be any reason for them to complain. Sheft-
Hat Khnemu has revamped the band since
putting out the CD this report was written to, and
he now has a more driven sound, one that has
everyone here smiling and dancing to! Brad says
that as long as there are no complaints the band
will be playing those days every week. Written to
the rockin reggae of �Riddim Forz� on their
self produced, self titled, undated CD, available
here in Cabo! Irie mon!
