[#000000]Cabo Fish Report[/#000000]
[#000000] July 9-15, 2012[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]WEATHER: [/#000000][#000000]Warm,humid and at least for the first part of the week, very sunny! In themiddle of the week we started to get some cloud cover and a bit oflocalized wind, and at the end of the week we had pretty solid cloudcover on Saturday and some gusty winds. Hurricane Fabio is passing600 miles to the southwest so I don't think any of this if from thatfar away. Our lows in the mornings have been in the low to mid 80'sand the highs for the days right around 100 degrees.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000] WATER:[/#000000][#000000]Still nice and warm out there, it's nice to see! I think the summerwater is here to stay! In front of Cabo it is 83 degrees and fairlyclean, up toward the east cape area it warms to 87 degrees in someplaces. If you travel 35 miles to the west you can find water thatis as cool as 80 degrees. The water on the Pacific side is not quiteas clean as that on the Cortez side, but it will clean up eventually. The only concern I have for the end of the week and the start ofnext week is the storm swells we have started to get. The shorelineis covered by wrack (foam) due to the swells pounding the beach, someof them at 4-8 feet. The good thing is that they are storm swellsand spaced well apart.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BAIT: [/#000000][#000000]Caballitoand Mullet were available at the normal $3 per bait and there wereplenty of green Jacks if you wanted them. The swells kept the baitguys from getting sardines at the end of the week.[/#000000][/#000000]
[#000000] FISHING:[/#000000]
[#000000][#000000]BILLFISH[/#000000][#000000]: Striped Marlin, Blue Marlin and Sailfish were the billfish caughtthis week. I did not hear of any Black Marlin, but it is possiblethat there were a few. Most of the fish have been found offshore 8to 20 miles. The 1150 and 95 spot have been the best for the StripedMarlin while off of the Cabrillo Seamount and the Gorda Banks someBlue Marlin have been hooked up. The Sailfish have been pretty mucheverywhere in small pods, anglers are reporting gangs of three tofour fish appearing in the spreads set for Blue Marlin. Since it ishard to hook them on the big lures, and difficult to get a decentfight from them on the heavy gear, almost all the boats are carryingsmaller gear to pitch live baits with.[/#000000][/#000000]
YELLOWFIN TUNA: We finally had some decent fish to 50 pounds showup close to home this week, not in any big numbers though. Between 8and 20 miles offshore they have been showing up in pods of Dolphin,and while most of the fish are smaller ones in the 10-20 pound range,double hook-ups on the larger fish are always possible. The bettersized fish seem to be eating well away from the boat, so trolling alure or bait a half-spool back, or off a kite, has worked well. Dropping back a live bait as soon as a fish is hooked up has alsoproduced some larger tuna.
[#000000]DORADO: I hope that they are here to staybecause the Dorado have arrived. Still no guarantee of a limit oftwo for everyone on the boat, but pretty close if you are targetingthem. And, there have been some very nice sized fish, to 45-50pounds! Yum! Oh, and they fight pretty darn well too! Look foranything floating on the water, including turtles, they sometimeshave Dorado under them, just don't pull your lures so close that youhook the turtle. Finding diving, swooping frigate birds is also anexcellent way to put some of these great eating fish in the cooler. Leaving the first fish you hook up in the water for a few minutesoften results in other Dorado coming in to follow it, giving you achance at multiple fish.[/#000000]
[#000000]WAHOO: I did not hear of any Wahoo thisweek.[/#000000]
[#000000] INSHORE: Sierra action this week wasdecent inshore, but not great, and there was good action on a mix ofbottom fish from snapper to grouper to trigger-fish. A fewYellowtail on the Pacific side, but no large ones that I heard of,some decent Amberjack action and good numbers or Roosterfish allalong the shoreline on the Cortez side.[/#000000]

[#000000]NOTES: Led Zeppelin and Brian Flynn, mymusic choices for the week. I listened to both last night as Brianplayed a bit of Zeppelin at Beso's, a great show! I thought our pup,Tawny was watching Brian play, but it turned out she had her eye onhis leftover burger sitting next to him! We are not expecting anyweather from the passing storms, but we will be getting swells. Withthe water warming up like this we will be keeping our eye out for anyfurther development to the south. Until next week, enjoy your summerand get some fishing in! Tight lines![/#000000]
