Imagine the opportunity to catch six different species of gamefish while being pampered at a remote island lodge in Northern Ontario, Canada. Red Pine Wilderness Lodge is that place. As hosts for the last 21 years my wife Janice and I have accommodated many satisfied guests from North America and some as far away as Singapore. Although Walleye is the most popular target, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass Whitefish, Perch and Brook Trout are all available on the 28 miles of Lady Evelyn Lake or the portage lakes that we feature. Check out all the details at www.redpinelodge.com or call the toll-free number to book your next all-inclusive fishing adventure.

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT APRIL 11-17, 2005
WEATHER: The wind died early in the week and our weather started to improve right away. At the end of the week the wind was blowing just a little at night and that kept the bugs down. Our night time lows were in the mid to high 60’s and our day time highs were in the mid to high 80’s.
WATER: On the Pacific side of the Cape the water continued to remain a little on the cool side with temperatures in the high 60’s. The warmer water was on the Sea of Cortez with water staying in the low 70’s. 30 miles to the south the water warmed then the edge ran past the 95 spot as the warm water approached the Cape. Surface conditions on both sides of the Cape were good this week with calmer water on the Cortez side.
BAIT: Mostly Caballito this week with a few Mackerel at the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Strange to say, I have to pick Striped Marlin as the fish of the week. The bite did not turn on until Friday, but then you did not have to travel far to find the fish. Most of the action was within 7 miles of the shore on the Cortez side of the Cape from Gray Rock to Gorda Banks. Almost every boat came in flying at least one Marlin flag and those that were not flying one had plain bad luck, most likely hooking their fish and then losing it. I fished on Sunday and went four for five on the Stripers, with the fish averaging right around 110 pounds. Catch results on artificial lures and live bait was mixed an almost even 50/50. There was little action early in the week unless you were very lucky. Our fingers are crossed that the action continues this week!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Very few fish were to be found and those that were found were football size mixed in with Porpoise, and most of the action was either to the south or close to shore on the Pacific side of the Cape.
DORADO: This is a repeat of last week! The few Dorado found this week were almost all associated with floating debris or small kelp fronds. The fish ranged from 10 pounds (and a few even smaller) to 25-30 pounds, but they were scarce. My guesstimate is there may have been one Dorado caught for every 15 boats. Naturally a few boats caught multiple fish, but they were the exception and very lucky.
WAHOO: There were a few fish caught, but with all the boats that were working for Marlin close to shore that was no surprise. The fish that were caught were in the 30-40 pound range.
INSHORE: The Sierra action moved back to the Pacific side of the Cape this week but it was not easy, most of the Pangas were scratching to get a half dozen of the good eating fish in the boat. There was action on Jack Crevalle and small Roosterfish as well as some decent Pargo, but no wide open bite on any one species. With the Marlin moving in close to the beach at the end of the week, many of the Pangs were focusing on them.
NOTES: Once again it was a mostly “miss” kind of week for the fishing here. Thank goodness that the Marlin showed at the end of the week or there would have been nothing to write about! As it is, this is probably the shortest fish report I have done since Hurricane Juliet! I hope things improve in the coming week, but even if it does not, I’d rather be on the water than on the beach! This weeks report was written to the 1991 Warner Bros. release of their self-titled album, “Fourplay”.
