Feb 15, 2009; 04:24PM - Make 'Em Last : Save A Grub

Author Name: Nathan
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 1:
Make your grubs, curly tails, dingers, etc last by sliding the grub past the eye of the hook and then stick a toothpick/shaved wood into the eye and cut the ends. This prevents throwing the grub off even after a few hits. Also play with the cutting to change a lure's action. |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 27-JULY 3, 2005
WEATHER: A little wind was around this week but it was gentle and blowing from the south for the most part at around 5-10 knots, except for Friday when the clouds looked like race cars as a remnant feeder band from the south raced past us. Along with the feeder band came overcast skies with the threat of rain, but nope, no rainfall happened. Our day time highs were in the high 90’s while our night time lows were in the mid 70’s. We had high humidity accompany the overcast skies.
WATER: Good water on the Pacific side with large swells later in the week... The water was blue and the temperature averaged 77 degrees except for just along the shore where it was tinged with green and dropped in temperature to 75 degrees. On the Cortez side of the Cape almost the exact same conditions applies, temperature and color wise. There were no significant temperature breaks found.
BAIT: Caballito at $2 per bait with a few Mullet in the mix.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: At the end of the week you could tell that the Striped Marlin bite was dying off. There were fewer of them caught even with the good moon phase. There were still fish being found and caught but not in the numbers we were seeing last month. Scattered fish were found at the 1150 and beyond as well as around the San Jaime banks. Blues are starting to show up with a few fish in the 200-400 range being caught and released. A good friend of mine reported hooking the largest Black Marlin he has ever seen and loosing the fish (popping the leader at the side of the boat) after a 30 hour fight and the clients had given up.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: A repeat of last week with Yellowfin taking the “fish of the week” position. The big boys are still out there with at least two over 200 pounds being landed this week. Of course most of the fish are footballs, but there is always the chance at one of the tequila fish. The big gals have been mixed in with the black porpoise. There were also 100 pound fish seen feeding on the Pacific side with no dolphin in evidence but I am not sure if anyone was able to get a hook into them. As normal, small dark feathers for the footballs and the big ones seemed to like live bait or Marlin lures.
DORADO: There have been some nice fish taken this week with an average size of just around 15 pounds, but the big ones were in the 45-50 pound class. Live bait dropped back after a trolling hook up more often than not brought a second fish to the boat. Best bets were just off shore along the Pacific side or out at the San Jaime banks. There were reports of scattered big fish up around the Punta Gorda area as well.
WAHOO: Not as many fish were found as last week, but there were still Wahoo flags flying this week almost every day. Best areas were the Gorda Banks and Punta Gorda. Fish were reported striking in the blind way off shore as well; we got one in the blind on Thursday that was around 55 pounds.
INSHORE: Repeat of last week’s inshore report. Most of the inshore action was concentrated on Roosterfish, as the action became red-hot for fish between 25 and 40 pounds almost everywhere along the coast. Working the rocky points on both sides of the cape, as well as the beach areas resulted in almost all the action you could handle on both the Roosterfish and some nice Pargo. A few Sierras and a few Yellowtails were in the mix as well and they were found on the Pacific side of the cape.
NOTES: Good fishing is here, and while not red hot yet, there looks to be good things happening in the future! This weeks report was written to the music of Boz Scaggs on the 1994 Virgin release “Some Changes”. Happy 4th of July everyone. Until next week, Tight lines!
