Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

Cabo Fish Report
June 12-25, 2006
WEATHER: Over the past two weeks the weather has run from a high of 101 here at my house to a low of 62 degrees on the Pacific side. Last week there was one day when a large fog bank ran over Cabo from the Pacific side, you could see it coming. For the most part it has been sunny and warm, and the humidity is just starting to kick up a bit.
WATER: When I flew up to California on the 12th the water out in front of Cabo was blue and 82 degrees. While I was gone the California current kicked in strong and cold, green/brown water wrapped around the Cape as far north on the Cortez side as Gorda Banks. I got back on the 20th and while out on the 21st I recorded water at 64 degrees at the arch, and it was almost pea soup green. By the 22nd it had warmed to 76 degrees and on Friday we had 82 degrees and it was getting blue again. As of the end of this week we had a push of warm water onto the San Jaime bank area, I may be able to find out if the water is clearing up in that direction later in the week.
BAIT: Mostly Mackerel, Caballito and Mullet at the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The week I was gone the fishing went downhill for all species unless you went 40 miles out and it really showed in the fleet Billfish records. This past week thing only got better toward the end of the week with the approach of the warm, blue water again. Boats that went up the Cortez toward Los Frailles the week before last had good luck with Striped Marlin and some decent Blue and Black Marlin as well. The same situation occurred for boats that went past the Cabrillo Seamount, 40 miles to the east. At the end of this week the Striped Marlin had started to show again just three miles off the beach from Gray Rock to Red Hill. There were a lot of tailing fish seen and most boats had a shot on at least one Marlin that was hungry, I did see a few boats flying four Marlin flags.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Over the past two weeks the Tuna situation has not really changed much. They were not to be found in any numbers when I left and that is still the situation most of the time. An occasional boat has gotten lucky and gotten into a school of footballs and limited out, but that is not the norm yet, perhaps later on the Yellowfin fishing will pick up. Most of the fish have been found with Porpoise and there have been some good marks down 60-100 feet, but the fish are just not coming up for the lures, and they have been moving fairly rapidly, making dropping a live bait on them a very tough proposition.
DORADO: The cold green water chased the larger fish away the week I left but they are back now and almost every boat is getting into at lest a few fish. Some of the fish have been in the 50-pound class but the average has been more in the 15 pound range with a few out to 25 pounds. Slow trolled live bait, brightly colored lures pulled at 8 knots and finding diving frigate birds then tossing live bait have all been methods that have worked this week. Most of the fish have been on the Cortez side but as the warm water wraps around toward the Pacific side that might change.
WAHOO: There have been a few fish caught but the cool water and moon phase have made them a bit tough to get right now.
INSHORE: The cold, green water made bottom fishing almost the only game in town while I was gone but things have picked up again over the past few days with more Roosterfish being found on the Cortez side along with some good fishing for Amberjack and of course, bottom fish. Slow trolling live mullet for Roosterfish has been the ticket for most of the Pangas, and the fish have been very tight to shore.
NOTES: Glad I’m back home, the drive down the Baja was great, the road was in good condition, I just wish I had been able to bring a Jeep with me! This report was written to the sounds of Gnarls Barkley on the CD “St. Elsewhere”, a 2006 Downtown Records release. Until next week, tight lines!
