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.’

WEATHER: The week started windy but through the weekend it finally laid down a bit. There
was no consistency to the winds in the later part of the week as it would be calm here and blowing
from the northeast up in San Jose one day and the next it would be calm up there and blowing
hard from the northwest here. Most of the wind in the later part of the week occurred in the
afternoons. Our daytime highs reached the high 80’s while our nighttime lows were in the low
60’s. We were partly overcast much of the week but there was no rain (as usual), but we did
have a couple of mornings where condensation covered everything. (Layla)
WATER: Our warmest temperatures this week were on the Sea of Cortez around the Gorda
Banks area where it reached 77degrees. Closer to the cape we were seeing 68-72 degrees. There
was a fairly well defined temperature break running from the arches to the southeast where the
cool, Pacific side was 70.5 and the warm east side was 72.5 degrees. This break was holding
some fish but it was there because of the strong current and wind, making it difficult to fish.
Tuesday night the wind never stopped blowing and on Wednesday morning a few boats tried to
get to an area 25 miles to the south and had to turn back after less than 10 miles due to the water
conditions, and these were boat to 38 feet in length. Conditions changed day to day as the winds
changed. (Badge)
BAIT: A good mix of baits was available this week and they ranged from big Mackerel to Big
Caballito to small Caballito and some Sardinas showing up as well. Sardinas were $25 a scoop
and the others were the normal $2 each. (I Feel Free)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The wonderful Striped Marlin fishing we had last week continued early this week
but the fish moved further away. It was still easy to get at least one Marlin and you could see fish
everywhere. Many of the boats were still getting multiple hookups and flying plenty of flags on
their return. The bite slacked off as the week wore on but there were still fish there, they just did
not eat as readily. There were Striped Marlin scattered in other areas as well, just not in any
concentration. One day the bite would be on lures, the next on live bait. The best fishing was just
past the Gorda Banks and around the 1150 spot where the water was warmer. Sure hope it
moves back this way! There was one large fish hooked up this week that I know of. A personal
friend of mine hooked a Blue Marlin he and his clients estimated at over 700 pounds and fought
the fish for 70 minutes before loosing her! Twenty miles out on the Pacific side, what was that fish
doing in the cold water? (Sunshine Of Your Love)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: You could have Marlin this week or you could have Yellowfin, but not
both! The Tuna were out there, and there were fish to 70 pounds, but they were 25 miles to the
south while the Marlin were 25 miles to the east. Unfortunately for us the wind started to kick up
strong from the northwest on Tuesday and by Wednesday we were blown out for a southern trip.
The fish were still there but not for us. The fish were mostly footballs in the 10-15 pound class
but there were enough in the 25-35 class to keep everyone happy and a few over 50 pounds to
keep everyone on their toes. The best lures were feathers in dark colors pulled close to the boat
in the second or third wakes. The winds died down and allowed boats to get back to the area at
the end of the week but the bite was not as good though the fish were still there. There were a
few fish caught in other places but not in any dependable location. (Crossroads)
DORADO: There were not to many Dorado found this week and there were not any
concentrations. It appeared that they were showing up as incidental fish for the boats working the
Marlin and the Tuna with most of them being caught while trolling to or from the fish
concentrations. Most of the fish were in the 15-20 pound class and were hitting lures pulled for
other fish. (Strange Brew)
WAHOO: The same situation as the Dorado with a few fish caught by boats looking for either
Tuna or Marlin, but most of them found in the warmer water with the Marlin. Not many fish and
not large ones, but they were there on and off. (White Room)
INSHORE: Name of the game this week was Sierra, no doubt about it. Large concentrations
were found in San Lucas Bay as well as around the corner on the Pacific side up to the lighthouse.
The fish ranged from 3 to 10 pounds in size and were striking on both Rapallas and hootchies.
For anglers trying live bait, there was a decent bite on Amberjack and small Sharks at the arch and
a few Yellowtail to 20 pound (most 8-12 pounds) at both the arch and Grey Rock. The Dorado
that had been providing a lot of inshore action thinned out. There were a few small Roosterfish
caught and I know of one nice 30 pounder that was caught and released. (Bell Bottom Blues)
NOTES: The fishing was good this week, you just had to decide what you wanted to target.
There were still a few Whales seen as well. The water has maintained it great blue color and has
not turned green yet. Nice temperatures in the mornings and some great days on the water, all in
all a really nice week! This weeks report was written to the sound of Eric Clapton on the
Polygram compilation C.D., “The Cream Of Clapton”. Until next week, Tight Lines!
