Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

Cabo Fish Report
March 5-11, 2007
WEATHER: We had mostly sunny skies this week with just a few overcast days, and they were just overcast in the mornings. Our daytime highs were in the mid 80’s while the nighttime lows were in the mid 60’s. No rain of course and the winds were mixed with the prevailing winds from the northwest at 10-15 knots, but just in the mid day, they died off in the evenings.
WATER: On the Pacific side of the Cape we had water at 72 degrees from the shore to five miles out, then there was a band of cool water at 68 degrees with a strong hint of green pushing toward the south in a band that was approximately 10 miles wide. To the west of that cool band the water warmed up again to 73-74 degrees. On the Cortez side of the Cape the water was almost uniformly 71-72 degrees from the shoreline to out past the Cabrillo seamount and it had just the slightest tinge of green to it. The strong temperature and color break that we had last week just off of the Punta Gorda area has spread apart a bit and drifted or been pushed to the north and is now in the East Cape area.
BAIT: This week the bait was 90% Mackerel with 10% Caballito and they were the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The week started just the same as last week ended, spotty Marlin fishing everywhere. Thankfully things picked up as we ended the week with the fish fairly close to home and starting to bite again. On Saturday we had three boats out and they all hooked up to Marlin with one boat in by 10am having released two Marlin, one client fighting a Striper on the fly for 45 minutes before breaking him off and the other boat releasing one fish. They are fairly close to shore with all these fish within that warm water band on the Pacific side close to shore. I heard tales of a Blue Marlin being caught this week, it was reported to have been in the 450-pound range but I did not see the fish myself. At least things are happening again!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Tuna were still scarce this week for most of the boats going offshore, but there was a decent bite on smaller fish between 10-20 pounds on the Cortez side up between Chileno and San Jose. They were biting on Sardines and were close to the shore, for the most part no any farther than 3 miles out. The key was to have plenty of the Sardines to chum with then to drift with line ones pinned to the hook. The Gorda Banks, specially the Inner Gorda, were also delivering a few fish with the same methods.
DORADO: The Dorado bite is still off since the water is cool, but there are a few being found out there. Once again they are being caught in the warm water band close to the beach on the Pacific side far more often than elsewhere.
WAHOO: There was a little bit of Wahoo action this week reported from the Gorda Banks area but that was all that I heard about.
INSHORE: Inshore was definitely the way to go earlier in the week, as the offshore fishing was so spotty. Anglers scored well on Sierra and on Pargo to 15 pounds around the rocks. African and Gaff-top-sail Pompano were bonuses and the use of chum definitely increased the odds of hooking up to them. A few Dorado were caught inshore and anglers fishing cut bait on the bottom did fairly well on smaller Grouper to 10 pounds.
NOTES: Thank goodness the offshore fishing improved this weekend. Now if only the Yellowfin start to show again things will be fine. The Gray whales have almost disappeared but there are still some Humpbacks offshore. Until next week, tight lines!
