Cabo Fish Report
May 8-14, 2006
WEATHER: It was a beautiful week with mostly sunny skies. Our daytime highs were in the high 80’s and our nighttime lows in the high 60’s and reached the low 70’s this weekend. We did have steady winds from the northwest all week long at 8-15 knots.
WATER: Checking the charts at the end of the week you could see the progression, slow though it is, of warm water from the Sea of Cortez side of the Cape toward the Pacific. On the Cortez side our water temperatures were in the 75-80 degree range with the warmer water up around Punta Gorda. Right in front of Cabo the water was a cooler and greener 67-70 degrees and on the Pacific side of the Cape the water was very green and a cool 60-67 degrees. There was no really defined break between the cool and green water and the warm and blue water.
BAIT: There was a mix of Caballito and Mackerel this week at the usual $2 per bait, and there were reports of some Sardinas as well at $20 per scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Rolex/IGFA Offshore Tournament is over and while I have no actual numbers, reports were of approximately 77 Striped Marlin released on day one, 167 released on day two, over 200 fish on day three and over 100 fish on day four, all that between 66 teams. Apparently most of the action came from between the Gorda Banks, Punta Gorda and the 1150. Day one was a mostly lure fish day as the teams searched the area for concentrations of fish and day two and three were almost all rigged dead bait fish. There was a Black Marlin reported released as well on day one. We have another tournament this coming week and I will be fishing in it so I will have a good idea of details for next weeks report.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: There were quite a few white Tuna flags flying this week as the football size fish have shown up close to home. Most of the action on these fish was found within three miles of the Cape where the cool and warm waters mixed. The water was rough and bumpy and the fish were caught in the blind, but many boats came in early due to the number of fish they found. There were also reports at the end of the week of bigger fish to #100 showing up around the Punta Gorda area, and these fish were mixed with Porpoise.
DORADO: There were plenty of small fish to be found this week and they were in the same area as the football Tuna. These Dorado were small, I mean between 5 and 8 pounds so most of them were released. A few larger fish were taken up north in the warmer water and a few of them went over 35 pounds, but there were no large numbers of them.
WAHOO: The full moon kicked out a few Wahoo this week, most of them from the Gorda Banks area and north of there. If may be because that is where the tournament boats were concentrating, but with only 10 Wahoo caught (or reported caught) for 240 fishing days, you can see that the picking are still pretty slim, at least from areas where the Marlin are. Reports form the rest of the fleet as well as the Pangas out of La Playita were a bit better, with more action obtained closer in to the beach.
INSHORE: The Sierra bite fell off a bit this week and it seemed that the fish became a bit smaller as well with the average size down to 6 pounds. Off of the Rocky points there were still Yellowtail being found with fish to 30 pounds, the average size was around 15 pounds. A scattering of Amberjack and grouper rounded out most of the inshore catch with the exception of Roosterfish. These fish finally showed up in decent numbers on the Cortez side with lots of fish in the 8-15 pound class and a few larger ones to 35 pounds.
NOTES: My fingers are crossed for my teams’ chances in the tournament this week. As an inaugural event there are bound to be a few bumps, but it appears that the event coordinators have it together. This week’s music selection was a Mark Knopfler soundtrack (again), the 1983 release of “Local Hero” on Phonogram Records. Until next week, Tight Lines!
