Jan 5, 2004; 10:17PM - Spanish Mackerel Tricks

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I love fishing for Spanish mackerel, so I do it often. When I shove off to go fishing, I often stumble upon a very large school of mackerel, but sometimes they all don't want to feed and reject anything you throw at them. When this happenes, a good trick to get them to bite is to get them exited so they just want to catch what the think is a little fish just for the fun of it. To do this you would want to swich immediately to anywhere from a 1/4oz to a 1/2oz kastmaser-(like a spoon but a lot better). I make a long cast to where the fish are and as soon as that lure hits the water I begin to reel in just fast enough to get the kastmaser poping out of the water kinda like a fleeing baitfish. After it jumps out of the water a couple times keep it fast just below the surface. Do this at least 4 times during your retrieve and pretty soon you will have dozens of mackerel chasing your lure just for the sport of it until the lure bites back and then you get to have all the fun. |
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
When you get those swarms of mackerel chasing the your line, sometimes your lure will come to the boat a little early and the fish will ignore the katmaster and just swim away. To prevent this you want to go to the opposite end of the boat, make your cast, and then maneuver the lure so it will swim parallel to the boat, instead of directly at it, taking the mackerel with it. You will be catching mackerel right at the side of the boat. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
These techniques have worked for me many times and gotten me coolers full of fish and I hope they work for you, too. Good fishing till next time. |

REPORT #971. “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
http://www.bajafly.com/Newsletter/fatty.gif http://www.bajafly.com/Newsletter/bluemarlin.gif
This was another cookie cutter week of nice (hot) weather and fishing to match. Billfish including stripes, blues and sails, kept everyone staring intently at the teasers to see what would show up next. Still a good tuna show under the porpoise and if you held your mouth just right and were in the right place at the right time, there were a few fat dorado to be found. While not tons of Bubba sightings those with the patience to wait for one to come along were getting a few shots. While waiting, ladyfish, pompano and an occasional jack crevalle could be found meandering down the beach looking for a free meal. August at East Cape is not a bad place to be.

Diana Hoyt, of Magbay Outfitters, reported the fishing outside Boca de Soledad is great, with yellowfin tuna and dorado continuing to be found just a few miles offshore. The boats making the trip to the Thetis Bank reported a few marlin, lots of YFT’s and yellowtail as well. The shark buoys out to twenty miles west from the Entrada were holding good sized schools of dorado. With the offshore action continuing to pick up, few chose to fish inside the Esteros. Still plenty of corvina along with a few pargo and grouper landed at Devils Curve.

The blue water is only a mile off the beach, but it sure has warmed up. When I reached in the live well to get a bait for the kite fishing we were doing for the roosters and jacks, it felt like bath water. The http://terrafin.com Satellite Surface Temperature photos show the cooler inshore water at 84º, with the offshore at almost 88º.
Mid-week, Riley Wilcox of Missoula, Montana fly fished with me for roosters and jacks. The needle fish literally took practically all the kite baits we had, and we ended up chasing the birds and schools of huge jack crevalle. The jacks were averaging about 18 pounds, and were crashing on acres of bait. The jacks were everywhere. This was sight casting at its best. The only problem was avoiding the birds, which was very difficult to do. We ended up with a couple of pelicans released unharmed also.
John Miller and his two sons, of Woodland Texas, fished with Cheva on the panga “Dos Hermanos II”. They released two sailfish (about the average), and lost a third after it threw the hook a few minutes into the fight. The marlin and sailfish zone is only a scant 8 to 10 miles off the beach.
Adolpho, on the panga, “Dos Hermanos”, got a 70 pound roosterfish for his client. Using medium action spinning gear and a popper, it took over two hours to get the big fish to the boat.

Only a few boats ventured out this week and found only a few sailfish and dorado due to the runoff caused by the rains. One boat out on Friday released a 450lb. marlin, and caught 20
yellow-fin tuna and two wahoo.
