Cabo Fish Report
Dec. 5-11, 2005
WEATHER: It was mostly cloudy for the mid and end of the week, days with clear skies started us off. Our daytime highs were in the low 80’s while nighttime lows were in the high 50’s. There was no rain, the winds began the week from the NW, shifted to the SE then ended up from the SW, moving to the West.
WATER: Surface conditions on the Pacific side of the Cape continued to be mixed as the wind continued to shift around this week. There were some good swells from the northwest and how choppy it was depended on where the wind was coming from. Warm water at 73 to 74 degrees surrounded us out to 15 miles on both side of the Cape and almost 50 miles to the south at the beginning of the week, but the water has shifted toward the northwest over the course of the week. The water outside the Jaime and up toward the Finger Bank remained green but still held fish. On the Cortez side of the Cape the cool water moved closer as an area of water in the 68-degree range pushed in from the northeast. At the end of the week the boundary laid right across The Gorda Bank and the 1150, running north to south. Surface conditions on the Cortez side were a bit bumpy from wind chop close to home for most of the week and it got a bit confused toward the Punta Gorda and outside as the wind from the northeast and southeast met the swells from the west.
BAIT: Same as last week, and almost every week. It was pretty much Mackerel, very few Caballito were in the bait boats tanks. The price was the usual $2 each. A lot of boats are still making their own bait at the Golden Gate before venturing up the hill to Finger Banks. At $2 per bait, filling with 30 or 40 baits gets expensive!
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Well, I have no Blue Marlin to report for this week, but there may have been some caught south of us where the water is still a bit warmer. Instead, the action from billfish has consisted almost entirely of Striped Marlin, and they seem to continue to get closer to us. The hot action at the Finger Bank (50 miles to the north on the Pacific) continues to be almost wide open for most boats making the trip. The bite has started late in the morning and has lasted until around 5pm. The catch has varied from 2 fish per boat to as many as 22 fish per boat. Most of these Striped Marlin have been the typical 60-90 pound winter fish, but there have been some of the large 150-pound fish in the mix. Closer to home, the bite has moved off the Golden Gate Bank and has begun at Punta Cristobal and off the Lighthouse. This fishery is mostly a drift fishery with live bait being soaked at 150 feet and some boats have been getting three Marlin a day.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The fish we had just off the beach last week have moved out and now the action seems to be centered on the San Jaime Bank, at least as of the end of the week. Most of the fish have been associated with large pods of Dolphin and the fish size has ranged from 10 to 35 pounds. Dark colored lures of about 6 inches have been working well on these fish. There were larger fish reported, up to 100 pounds, by boats working dolphin a little farther out and dropping live bait in front of the moving pods of mammals. There have been reports from the long range San Diego boats of very large “cow” tuna to 200 pounds up around the Mag. Bay area and at least one local private boat is planning to go up there this week to check it out.
DORADO: The water temperature continues to drop and with it, the Dorado bite. Almost the only fish I heard about this week were found under floating debris, and there was not a lot of that around our area. If you were able to find a piece of wood or a strand of kelp the chance of getting hooked up to dinner were good, and live bait works very well for doing that.
WAHOO: I did hear of several Wahoo being caught this week, but they were scarce. Most of the Wahoo flags flying in the marina continue to be for Sierra.
INSHORE: The majority of Pangas have been fishing close to the lighthouse on the Pacific side for Striped Marlin, but those working the beach have made good catches of both Sierra averaging 4 pounds and Red Snapper to 15 pounds. I caught some live bait at the lighthouse this week and then moved in to 120 feet of water, dropped one to the bottom and caught a nice Sierra of about 8 pounds and had another bait cut in half. The Snapper have been up in the rocks along the points.
NOTES: We are starting the winter season with more Tuna showing up and fewer Dorado, the water cooling down and Striped Marlin moving in off the ledges, feeding deep. This week I have seen my first Gray Whales and Humpbacks of the season, the Grays right on the beach and the Humpbacks about 6 miles off. Hopefully the weather stays good and the bite continues! This week’s report was written to the excellent music of Mark Knopfler on the 2002 Warner Brothers release “Rag Pickers Dream”, thanks for loaning it to me go to my friend Jimmy Ryan!
