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

Author Name: webmaster

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! <'))))>< |

Gordo Banks Pangas
San Jose del Cabo
October 14, 2007
Anglers –
Which each passing day the crowds of anglers are increasing, as the fall season is now official here and the mega buck tournaments are just around the corner. Visitors have been greeted within near perfect weather conditions, warm days and clear sunny skies. It is also the time when the north winds start to become predominant, just like clockwork they are starting to pick up, but so far have not been a nuisance, averaging only 6 to 10 miles per hour. Water temperatures ranged from 83 to 86 degrees, ocean swells were minimal, though there was quite a strong current running south out of the Sea of Cortez. At this time there is a tropical low pressure system located several hundred miles southwest of Manzanillo and it is appearing to show signs of some development, though it does look like it will most likely continue on a westerly track and miss the Baja Peninsula.
Live bait supplies have been sufficient, with caballito, sardinas and mullet available. Sportfishing fleets are now fishing in directions of the Pacific and the Sea Of Cortez. The striped marlin action continued to be excellent on the Pacific, towards Golden Gate Bank, the stripers were striking aggressively on lures and bait, with catches of six or more fish per charters common. Good numbers of dorado were also found from just around Los Arcos to south of El Faro.
The panga fleets based out of San Jose del Cabo concentrated most of their efforts from Palmilla, Gordo Banks and north to Iman Bank. Good fish counts held up throughout the first part of the week, most common catches were yellowfin tuna and dorado, with a mix of billfish and bottom species, though the later part of the week and through the weekend this action dropped way off, going from an average of over a 12 combined fish to just two or three, hard to say where the fish have gone, conditions have not really changed much and bait supply has been good. Pangueros will have to do some more scouting to find some more consistent action for the coming week. The Inner Gordo Bank had been producing early limits on yellowfin tuna, most of them in the 10 to 15 pound class, but with a handful of larger specimens up to 50 pounds accounted for. This bite on the Bank completely diminished, with the better action switching north to the Iman Bank, but then over the weekend that bite also dropped way off and reports of better tuna action off of Palmilla came in. Anglers seemed to have better success on sardinas, but the fish were also striking on a variety of medium sized lures.
One of the more unusual catches of the week was a 50 pound roosterfish that hit a sardina that was being trolled on the surface near the Iman Bank, every season in October we do hear of a handful of roosterfish being taken further offshore, away from their normal inshore habitat. On the same bank, off the bottom, there was a mix of pargo, cabrilla and dogtooth snapper being accounted for. As well as a few early season sierra starting to appear in the fish counts. Not many reports of any wahoo action this past week, it is the time of year when these fish normally become more active.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita sent out approximately 76 charters for the week with anglers accounting for a fish count of: 8 sailfish, 9 striped marlin, 1 roosterfish, 2 wahoo, 6 sierra, 5 surgeonfish, 31 cabrilla, 42 pargo, 6 dogtooth snapper, 92 dorado and 236 yellowfin tuna.
Good Fishing, Eric
