Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques
|

Tip&Trick Description 1:
My first time fishing Lake Cachuma was this last weekend April 27th 2002 and I will let you in on a secret this is a fine lake with great staff excellent fishing and abundant campsites. I was very impressed with the guys at the marina ( Jim and Allen) for giving us great tips for fishing their lake without holding back any information necessary for a first timer to their lake. Right out of the marina he told me to troll straight thru the center of the lake and we would be sure to get bit and he was right. Less than 10 minutes from the launch ramp right where he suggested we caught the first fish a nice largemouth bass about 3-4 lbs and lost the first hook up as we were surprised to get a strike so soon. This fish jumped clear out of the water and fought like a much larger fish than it actually ended up being. |

Tip&Trick Description 2:
We released the bass and continued anxious to get to the trout which is what we were after. On the way to the next spot Jim and Allen had given us directions to we saw 4 deer on the shore grazing like they owned the place (which I guess they did) We set our sites on the points jetting out along the far side of the lake about 200 feet offshore. Instantly off one of the points both the reels went off as we were trolling rainbow trout colored Yo-zuri Emperor Minnows and L-Jack series lures on 4 and 6 lb test at a fairly slow troll. First fish fell off but I managed to get mine to the boat and into it for supper that evening. We did a turn around and went right back over the same spot and sure enough another missed opportunity. Back we went again with another 2 strikes managing to get one in the boat for a better meal for the 3 of us eating that night. Back and forth again for nothing and we decided to give the opposite bank a try. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
On the other side of the lake were the serious bass guy's fishing the bow of their sleek boats with the chairs and trolling motor on the bow. We steered clear of them and moved again about 200 feet off the shoreline and continued our trolling pattern slow and parallel to shore. We started noticing the wind more and more as we headed back towards the launch ramp noticing there was only one jacket made it to the boat and it was mine! We again managed to get another rainbow to strike right out of the water it jumped and then a small battle and into the boat it came. We were done now 1 fish each for dinner and one released bass in about 2 hours fishing time. Now it was back to camp to make dinner and get warm. A jacket is a good thing to bring on any lake as the wind always decides to blow in the afternoon. I must tell you that the guy's at the marina tackle shop know their stuff about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Without their tips we may have come home empty handed as several others had that day. Good luck if you get a chance to fish Lake Cachuma and be sure to say hello the the great guys at the tackle shop near the launch ramp it may pay off big time for you in the long run.....Fish on! <'))))>< |

Cabo Fish Report
March 6-12, 2006
WEATHER: It looks like we have finally had a bit of spring weather come our way. This time of year we often get a month or so of on-off windy time, and this last week the wind started blowing on Tuesday. It blew hard (and it was cold) until Friday and since then it has been great. Our daytime highs have been in the mid to low 80’s while the night time lows were around 60 degrees. There was a pretty good cloud cover during mid-week but by Sunday it had cleared up.
WATER: It was very choppy and pretty rough on the Pacific side most of the week and the conditions were bouncy on the Cortez side as well. Very few, if any, boats fished on the Pacific, as there were extremely large swells and very rough conditions through Saturday. If anyone had made it out there they would have found cold water at 64-65 degrees out to the San Jaime, but warm water at 74 degrees past there to the west. On the Cortez side the water remained pretty much around 71-73 degrees with cool 68-70 degree water to the immediate south of the Cape.
BAIT: Bait was tough to get toward the end of the week, but if you did manage to get some it was still the normal $2 per bait. The bait guys attributed it to the full moon.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: At least the bite for Striped Marlin seemed to steady a little bit; we did not have the wild swings of good-bad days we saw for the last few weeks. The bite was not wide open by any means but the fish were there on the Cortez side. From the 95 Sport to 4 miles inside the 1150 to the Outer Gorda banks seemed to be the place to go with most boats catching at least one Marlin a day and some getting three. The bite was a mix of live bait and lures but the lures seemed to work best at slightly higher than normal speeds, mostly around 9 ½ knots instead of the normal 7 ½ to 8 knots. There were plenty of feeders out there and watching the Frigates dive or circle was a key to the live bait fishing. There were plenty of tailing and free jumping fish as well, but the tailing fish didn’t seem to be very hungry. Maybe after the full moon the bite will turn on for them.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: What, you want Tuna? Try some other week, as there were almost no Yellowfin caught this week. An occasional pod of Porpoise held some small fish to 15 pounds, but they were few and far between. Most of the boats that managed to get Tuna found them on Friday and Saturday within 5 miles of the coast on the Pacific side.
DORADO: Success rates on Dorado this week looked to be about 15% with some boats getting fish to 25 pounds and a few to 50 pounds. The fish were on the Cortez side of the Cape in the warm water and were caught by boats looking for Striped Marlin. There was the occasional double, but not many.
WAHOO: What Hoo?
INSHORE: This is a repeat of last weeks inshore report with the note that all the fish were found on the Cortez side due to the rough conditions on the Pacific. There was a pretty decent Sierra bite, mostly in the afternoons but occasionally early in the morning. Large groups of Jacks in the 25-35 pound class were spotted close to the beach but they were not very hungry, possibly spawning concentrations. A fair to good bite from bottom species such as red Snapper and Grouper in 100-150 feet of water off almost all the points started at the end of the week and there were some decent Yellowtail to 25 pounds caught in the same area by anglers using live bait fished just off the bottom.
NOTES: It’s not wide open by any means even though some of the booths around the Marina will tell you that it is for the Striped Marlin. Go out with a good attitude and your fingers crossed, plenty of beer in the cooler and some good friends and you will have fun, and just might get dinner and a trophy. That is all you can really expect right now, but that’s not a bad thing. If the Tuna ever show up things might get kicked into higher gear, at least we hope so. Meanwhile, listen to some good music and plan your trip! This week’s report was written to the sounds of Alison Krauss & Union Station on their 2002 CD “Live”. Until next week, tight lines!
