CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT NOVEMBER 1-7, 2004
WEATHER: Every week it seems to get a bit cooler and this week we had night time lows in the mid to low 60’s, really good evening temperatures. Our day time highs ranged from the mid to high 80’s with one day in there where it hit 90. Very little cloud cover, light breezes and no rain at all pretty much cover the conditions we experienced this week.
WATER: A band of water in the 82-83 degree range wrapped around the Cape this week and extended up the Pacific 15 miles north of the Golden Gate Banks. The closest cooler water was 35 miles to the south-west where it dropped to 80 degrees. Surface conditions were great all week with very light surface chop and swells in the 2-3 foot range with an occasional 4 foot one on the Pacific side.
BAIT: The usual $2 per bait and almost all of it was Caballito. There were Sardinas available as well at $20 a scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Most of the Billfish this week were Striped Marlin and Sailfish and they were found on the Pacific side of the Cape. Slow trolled live bait at the Banks hooked up quite a few of both species as anglers looked for Yellowfin Tuna. There were reports of a stray Blue Marlin or two but there was no consistency to them.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Yellowfin received a lot of pressure this week as 179 teams were entered in the Tuna tournament. Quite a few of the teams’ pre fished the tournament on Wednesday and they all fished on Thursday and Friday. The fishing was not very good as there were only 9 fish weighed that were over 50 pounds. The minimum qualifying weight for Yellowfin Tuna, Dorado and Wahoo was 40 pounds. There was one big fish at #206, three fish over 100 pounds and three fish over 70 pounds as well as one fish that weighed 50 pounds. There were no qualifying Dorado weighed and only two Wahoo over 40 pounds, one at 55 pounds and my teams fish at 40 pounds, one ounce. Almost all of the Tuna were found on the Pacific side, both around the Golden Gate Banks, west of the San Jaime Banks and north of the Golden Gate.
DORADO: There were not as many Dorado caught this week as there were last week but there were still fish out there. Not many over 40 pounds as the results from the Tuna tournament can attest to, but there were still fish to be found. It seemed that they moved a bit farther to the north and a bit off shore this week. The Pacific side held the bulk of the fish and spotting Frigate birds working as well as finding floating objects
WAHOO: Let’s see, two fish over #40 for a total of 350 man days on the water during the Tuna tournament. I guess we can say that the bite was not on this week and leave it at that.
INSHORE: Slow inshore fishing with small Dorado here and there since the bulk of the fish have moved off shore and to the north. There were reports of a few small Sierra and the action on Skipjack and Bonita has been very good early in the morning for boats using Sardinas as chum and bait.
NOTES: The last tournament of the year is over, the weather is cooling down and the bite has dropped off a bit. Our next big fish influx will probably be Yellowfin Tuna since the tournament is over! Our fingers are crossed that things improve and we hope you get a chance to come yourself and find out! Until next week, tight lines!
