CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT APRIL 28 - MAY 4, 2003
WEATHER: No change in the weather from last week’s report. Partly overcast most of the
week with an occasional clear day. Daytime highs in the high 80’s and nighttime lows in the high
60’s to low 70’s. Mostly calm mornings with the wind from the northwest starting around noon
every day and blowing at 10-15 knots until 3-4 AM. A good, stiff westerly started on Saturday
afternoon and left us little or no lee for the day but did not affect us on Sunday. (Los Brazos del
Mar)
WATER: The water on the Pacific side remained uncomfortable this last week as the wind
never really disappeared. Four to six foot swells with whitecaps were the norm by 10 AM. The
Sea of Cortez remained fairly calm until the afternoons. Surface temperatures on the Pacific were
in the 67-68 degree range and the water was a slightly off- color blue-green while on the Cortez
side we had areas that occasionally reached 79 degrees and beautiful blue in the higher
temperatures. There was no defined temperature break but the water did climb by several degrees
over a two mile wide band off of Grey Rock and to the east. (Biggest Fishing Hole In The
World)
BAIT: Same as last week, Caballito was available at $2 per bait. (Bluegill Boogie)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: I am reading over last weeks report and this week it seems almost identical. The
bite has picked up on Striped Marlin and there was some great action to be had outside of both
Gray Rock and Red Hill this week with an evenly mixed bite on both lures and live bait. The fish
continue to move along the coast and can be found just off the arch now. Almost all the boats
were finding at least a few fish to toss bait to, but not all the fish found were hungry. There were
Blue Marlin hooked this week and there was a 416 pound Swordfish landed as well. (The Only
Time I Saw Him Smile)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Once again there is no change from last weeks report. Yellowfin
continue to be fish of the week as there was a good bite at the 1150 spot, the 1000 fathom drop
east of the Gorda Banks and from 8-12 miles south of the arch. On Sunday there were football
fish found as close as two miles from the arch! The fish were both in the blind and with Porpoise
and the majority of them were in the 15-20 pound class. Dark feathers and cedar plugs got most
of the action. As normal, the first few boats to the fish got most of the action and there were
quite a few boats having 10-15 fish days. (Breathin’ Room)
DORADO: I should just post last weeks report for this week as very little has changed. There
have still been nice fish in the 35 pound range being caught but the average size has been 15-20
pounds. Dropping a live bait back after the initial hook-up has resulted in multiple fish days for
many boats. The fish have been scattered but this week the best results were to be had in the
warmer water on the Sea of Cortez. (Bad To The Bonefish)
WAHOO: Repeating last weeks report on Wahoo, we had a few really good days this week and
pretty close to home as well! Just off of Gray Rock and around Red Hill boats were getting bit
off on lures with mono leaders but still getting 25% of the strikes. Some boats were getting two
or three Wahoo a trip and they were good sized fish, most of them 40-60 pounds. I heard a
report that one boat caught 13 Wahoo between the inner and outer Gorda Bank. Sure wish it was
a predictable bite! (Why’s Everybody Getting Bit Except Me?)
INSHORE: A few Sierra were found this week on the Pacific side of the Cape but most of the
Pangas stayed on the Cortez side and worked just offshore for both Dorado and Marlin. I heard a
report of some good action just off the beach up in the Palmilla area for boats slow trolling live
bait. It appears that the Pargo (snapper) have been schooling and some of the guys were getting
very nice 10-20 pound fish on the live bait. (King Of The Surf)
NOTES: The fishing continues to improve but the wind needs to stop for more than a day or
two! The warm water continues to move into the area and as it does we are getting more action
on Blue Marlin. Just wait until it gets into the 82-85 degree range! This weeks report was
written to the music of “The Dorados” on their 2000 Flying Fish records release “Papa Was A
Fishin’ Man”.
