Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques
|
|
Category: California Freshwater Lakes
|

Author Name: webmaster

Tip&Trick Description 1:
My first time fishing Lake Cachuma was this last weekend April 27th 2002 and I will let you in on a secret this is a fine lake with great staff excellent fishing and abundant campsites. I was very impressed with the guys at the marina ( Jim and Allen) for giving us great tips for fishing their lake without holding back any information necessary for a first timer to their lake. Right out of the marina he told me to troll straight thru the center of the lake and we would be sure to get bit and he was right. Less than 10 minutes from the launch ramp right where he suggested we caught the first fish a nice largemouth bass about 3-4 lbs and lost the first hook up as we were surprised to get a strike so soon. This fish jumped clear out of the water and fought like a much larger fish than it actually ended up being. |
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
We released the bass and continued anxious to get to the trout which is what we were after. On the way to the next spot Jim and Allen had given us directions to we saw 4 deer on the shore grazing like they owned the place (which I guess they did) We set our sites on the points jetting out along the far side of the lake about 200 feet offshore. Instantly off one of the points both the reels went off as we were trolling rainbow trout colored Yo-zuri Emperor Minnows and L-Jack series lures on 4 and 6 lb test at a fairly slow troll. First fish fell off but I managed to get mine to the boat and into it for supper that evening. We did a turn around and went right back over the same spot and sure enough another missed opportunity. Back we went again with another 2 strikes managing to get one in the boat for a better meal for the 3 of us eating that night. Back and forth again for nothing and we decided to give the opposite bank a try. |
|
Tip&Trick Description 3:
On the other side of the lake were the serious bass guy's fishing the bow of their sleek boats with the chairs and trolling motor on the bow. We steered clear of them and moved again about 200 feet off the shoreline and continued our trolling pattern slow and parallel to shore. We started noticing the wind more and more as we headed back towards the launch ramp noticing there was only one jacket made it to the boat and it was mine! We again managed to get another rainbow to strike right out of the water it jumped and then a small battle and into the boat it came. We were done now 1 fish each for dinner and one released bass in about 2 hours fishing time. Now it was back to camp to make dinner and get warm. A jacket is a good thing to bring on any lake as the wind always decides to blow in the afternoon. I must tell you that the guy's at the marina tackle shop know their stuff about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Without their tips we may have come home empty handed as several others had that day. Good luck if you get a chance to fish Lake Cachuma and be sure to say hello the the great guys at the tackle shop near the launch ramp it may pay off big time for you in the long run.....Fish on! <'))))>< |

09/24/2003 REPORT FROM GARY GRAHAM'S BAJA ON THE FLY:
PROVIDING QUALITY SALTWATER FLY-FISHING 365 DAYS A YEAR IN BAJA FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: bajafly@usa.net; USA toll-free (800) 919-2252; Mexico 011-52-624-14-10373
Wed., Sept. 24, 2003 Report covers the period Sat.-Tues. (9/20 - 9/23)
EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY, AND ZIHUATANEJO CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: 'The Internet Forecasters are predicting it will have little consequence locally here at East Cape,” we were told. So much for 'high tech forecasting.' Marty arrived at approximately 4 a.m. on Mon. (9/22) with plenty of rain and 100 mph winds. Details from East Cape are sketchy at best. Hotel boats fished on Sun., but were chased back by building seas and rain. Power and telephones are both down and out since the storm hit.
Damage scorecard:
- Marina de La Paz, 120 slips, is 95% destroyed.
- Abaroa Marina, 40 slips, is destroyed.
- Marina Palmira, 117 slips, and which has a big breakwater, is in excellent shape with very little damage to boats.
- Several boats in Astilleros Dry Storage have been knocked over.
- Cabo Isle Marina in Cabo San Lucas, 120 miles to the south, had strong winds and lots of rain, but no damage to boats. The town will be up and running again in a week.

· OFFSHORE: Good before the storm, should snap back in a few days.
· INSHORE: So much for water cleaning up. The needlefish can have it for
now.
· BEACH: Forget about it for a few days
BILLFISH – Absent until further notice.
YELLOWFIN TUNA – Marty won't faze them, I promise
DORADO – Marty delivered plenty of flotsam, which translates to more cover, more dorado
ROOSTERFISH – Wait until next week
JACK CREVALLE – Same places as the roosters.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – Mixed in with the porpoise.
PARGO AND CABRILLA – Not now.
SIERRA - Don't bother, way too many needlefish!
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Wed., Sept. 24, 2003 Report covers the period Sat.-Tues. (9/20 - 9/23)
IN GENERAL: Fishing is great! That’s the answer I heard when I made my Tues.
night call to pangero Enrique in Puerto San Carlos. What about Marty? I asked. “We had lots of rain and wind,” Enrique continued, “but Sunday we caught yellowtail, grouper and halibut at the entrada.” There were lots of dorado at the shark buoys about 7 miles out on a 240° heading from the entrada, out a bit further were lots of jumping marlin and
10 miles further were schools of tuna. Back in the bay, the focus continued on commercial fishing for shrimp. There was some flooding and damage at Lopez
Mateos and Ciudad Constitucion.

YELLOWTAIL – Under the bird schools at the entrada
CORVINA - Plenty to play with - either at Devil's Curve or near the pier.
SNOOK - Must be hiding from Marty.
HALIBUT - Continuing action for those who are interested. Plenty on the south side of Belchers in skinny water.
SIERRA - A few under the bird schools.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
Please note the date. We are only providing weekly (not twice a week) reports for this area.
Sat., Sept. 20, 2003 Report covers the period Sat.-Fri. (9/13 - 9/20)
IN GENERAL: We have had 'good news-bad news' these last three days. The bad
news is we have had wind and about 6 inches of rain in the last 48 hours. Conditions have been just too miserable to fish, because of the limited visibility caused from all the silt and debris being washed out of the rivers. This will also shut down (for about a week) our excellent action for roosterfish and jack crevalle in the surf line.
The good news is there have been tons of trees, plants, coconuts, etc. being washed out of the rivers making for some incredible bait holding current lines. In the next few days, as ocean conditions stabilize, the dorado, sailfish, and school-sized yellowfin tuna should be thick on these floating hotels.
Water Temperature 75º-90º

Baja on the Fly's Zihuatanejo report by Ed Kunze
IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
Welcome to what we think is the Flyrod Sailfish Capital of the World! Starting with our next condition report, Iztapa, Guatemala, will be part of our ongoing up-to-date news. Located on the Pacific Coast, Iztapa is next to Mexico's southern border. It's approximately 2 hours from Miami, 3 hours from Houston, 3.5 hours from Atlanta and 4.5 hours from Los Angeles.
Wed., Sept. 24, 2003 Report covers the period Sat.-Tue. (9/21 - 9/23)
IN GENERAL:
The fish are here, if you can get around the short rain squalls. Water color and temperature (84-85 degrees) are perfect, and the boats have been fishing about 30 miles out. With our season just beginning, in the past week only two boats have been fishing. One had double digit releases on sails, and both had marlin in the pattern, but could not connect. Sailfish are showing up a lot more frequently over the past couple of weeks with double digit days. Dorado are still being caught on most trips, but are more scarce than usual, which leaves more time for sails and marlin. There has been no inshore fishing activity the last week. We have been scouting snook areas, but the fishing is slow inshore. Anglers looking for a new challenge should note that Continental Airlines has been running specials the past two weeks on fares to Guatemala.
