Tip&Trick Description 1:
Here’s a fishing story.
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation
took place:
First guy:
’You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this
weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the
house next weekend.’
Second guy:
’That is nothing, I had to promise my wiife that I will build her a new
deck for the pool.’
Third guy:
’Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will
remodel the kitchen for her.’
They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not
said a word. So they asked him.!
’You haven’t said anything about what you had to do to be able to come
fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?’
Fourth guy:
’I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm,
gave the wife a nudge and said, ’Fishing or Sex’ and she said, ’Wear a
sweater.’

Cabo Fish Report
Nov. 28-Dec. 4, 2005
WEATHER: Daytime highs in the low 80’s with night time lows in the high 50’s or low 60’s, cold enough for jackets in the evenings and warm enough to play at the beach in the daytime! We have had a bit of cloud cover move in on us since the beginning of the month, but it looks as if it will move away over the next few days. We have had no rain with it, but it has made for very poor sea surface temperature shots.
WATER: It has been as little bit choppy on the Pacific side, but not bad. The water has been smooth enough to allow you to go wherever you want, but with a slight chop sometimes. On the Cortez side the surface conditions have been great up until you try and get past the Frailles area, then the winds kick in and it becomes victory at sea. That wind line has moved around a bit as well, sometimes getting as close to us as the Gorda Banks. The area of water between Gorda Banks, the 1150 and the 95 Sport has been in the 76-degree range, farther up the coast ad offshore it drops to about 70 degrees. If you took an image of the Cape and moved it down 40 miles, the resulting overlay on our offshore water would be where you could find temperatures in the mid to high 70’s elsewhere (farther to the west) the California current has a finger of cool 70 degree water going due south.
BAIT: It was pretty much Mackerel this week, 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, things can change in an instant when you are talking about fishing, and they sure changed this week. Last week I heard of no Blues having been caught, this week I heard of three. One was estimated at #300 and was released after three hours, found just off the temperature break to the southwest of the Cape early in the week, only about 11 miles out. Two others were reported released in the area between the 1150 and the Cabrillo Seamount. Other action on the Cortez side consisted of a few scattered Striped Marlin and Sailfish, with most of that bite happening fairly close to the Punta Gorda area. On the Pacific the bite is still going on close to shore around the Punta San Cristobal and at the Golden Gate Bank, and for those willing to put up the money required for extra fuel, the Finger Bank continues to be the place to go for the Striped Marlin. Expectations run high when making a long trip like that, but the results can vary. I had friends go up there early in the week and they came back with 4 Stripers released. I had another friend go up there on Saturday and they released 26 Stripers. Go figure, but if you do go, have plenty of bait just in case!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: There was consistent action on Yellowfin this week with football size fish being caught everyday just off the beach on the Cortex side. This was a Sardine fishery, you had to find the fish on the depth sounder then chum them up. Most mornings there were 30 boats working the area. Larger fish were reported offshore past the 95 Spot and out to the Cabrillo Seamount, according to one captains report “as many as you could want” with sizes ranging from 10 to 30 pounds. All the Tuna this week with the exception of the footballs just off shore were found associated with Dolphin, but not every pod of Dolphin held fish. On the Pacific side there was some great action on Friday just to the north and inside of the Golden Gate banks, with fish to 80 pounds being caught within sight of the fleet soaking bait for Marlin.
DORADO: The Dorado found this week were scattered fish, there was nothing floating found by the fleet to really get the flags flying. There was decent Dorado action up around the Finger Bank, but there was little pressure on them as the main focus was Striped Marlin.
WAHOO: Repeat: Looking at all the red flags flying at the marina this week you would think that the Wahoo action has just busted wide open. That is not the case however because the flags are being flown for that they call “shallow water Wahoo”, or in other words, Sierra.
INSHORE: The inshore Sierra bite continues to improve and they are being caught from the beach as well. There are still some Roosterfish in the area, the Jack Crevalle are still around and just off the beach is where you will find a fairly consistent Dorado Bite and football Yellowfin. I have not heard much more about the Yellowtail, but a few friends have told me they are still getting an occasional fish and that the water temperature is getting right for them to start appearing in numbers.
NOTES: I have not had a chance to get out on the water much this week as I have been working on a couple of boats getting stuff fixed and repaired. Maybe someday I will get a position on a private boat with an owner who likes to do a lot of fishing and can pay a salary! It sure would be easier on me and the older I get the more my body would appreciate it! Anyway, hopefully I will be fishing this coming week and check out the report next week, weather I go or not, all my friends fish and I can fill you in. Meanwhile, this report was written to the fiddle music of Vassar Clements on the 1986 Flying Fish Records release “Hillbilly Jazz Rides Again”. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to e-mail me at gmlandrum@hotmail.com or give me a call at 044-624-122-0304 if you are in Cabo or 206-658-5158 if you are calling from the states. Until next week, Tight Lines!
