Cabo Fish Report

May 21-27,  2012

WEATHER:  Here at the tip of the Cape the wind blew almost all week long, coming mostly from the northwest but sometimes shifting and coming from the southwest.  Gusting to 30 knots at times, it was fairly steady during the middle of the week, only to die off on Sunday morning.  As you traveled up the coast toward San Jose the effect was much less noticeable. We had mostly sunny skies this week with the nighttime lows ranging from 62 degrees to 74 degrees and the daytime highs averaged 82 degrees, just about perfect!

WATER: There is not much to say about our water conditions that are good, at least for offshore fishing.  The strong currents that came in from the Pacific side last week really have had a lasting effect.  The water on the Pacific side from the coastline out to the Golden Gate Banks and the San Jaime Banks remains a cold 56 degrees and green.  On the Banks and to the west it warms a bit to 62 degrees but becomes even more dirty green.  Up toward San Jose on the Cortez side the water remains in the 62-64 degree range and green while along the beach up to San Jose the water became very green and dirty at the end of the week.  Warm water finally appears as you reach Punta Gorda and from the beach out to about three miles it is 75 degrees, continuing on up the coast to Los Frailes.  Due to the continuing wind the water on the Pacific side remained mostly unfishable unless you were in a Panga hanging close to the beach, and that was not much more than five miles up, after that it was nasty water with swells at 4-6 feet and the wind gusting to 30 knots.  On the Cortez side the swells were much smaller at the start of the week and now at the end of the week we are seeing the effects of Hurricane Bud, now dissipated and very far south of us.  The swells continue to build and will remain large for the next couple of days, but here on Sunday we are seeing 6-8 feet from the south.  The surfers are happy!

BAIT:  Just about the only live bait this week was Caballito at the normal $3 per bait.  The large swells at the end of the week almost shut off the Sardina netting and the water is too cold and dirty for the Mackerel, I am surprised to see there are still Caballito out there!

FISHING:

BILLFISH: Well, as I reported last week at the end of the IGFA Offshore Championship, the cold water shocked the Striped Marlin and the bite pretty much shut down with 47 teams releasing only 8 Marlin on the last day.  The situation has not changed much as the fish are still scarce in our area.  Boats that are targetting Marlin have to run almost 50 miles to get into that warm water toward Los Frailes, and even when they get there, getting a fish to bite is a coin toss.  A few fish have been found closer to home in the colder water but these fish have been very reluctant to bite.  My guess is that only 20% of the boats are seeing Marlin and out of them, maybe 20% are getting bit.  As a result I have been recommending to our anglers that they target something beside Marlin, like inshore fishing for Yellowtail.

YELLOWFIN TUNA: The Tuna bite remained off this week with only a few football sized fish caught, and most of them were caught in the blind with no porpoise or birds to indicate their presence.

DORADO: I saw no Dorado brought to the docks this week but heard of a few very small ones of about 8 pounds coming from the direction of San Jose.  No details on location or bait, just that there were a few small ones.

WAHOO:  Dedicated anglers getting to the grounds early up in the Punta Gorda area reported having a few Wahoo bites, and I did have one Captain tell me he lost a lure to a wahoo offshore around the 1150, but I did not hear of any being brought in this week.

 INSHORE:  There is no doubt in my mind that inshore fishing was the way to go this week as the bite for Yellowtail remained strong on the Cortez side of the Cape and there was still a decent bite on Sierra between the lighthouse and the arch on the Pacific side as well as off of the Cabo Del Sol area.  Mix in some decent grouper to 25 pounds, a few nice Snapper and occasionally a school of Pompano moving through and there was pretty consistent action.  The lack of Sardines at the end of the week hurt the inshore fishing just a little bit, but not a lot.

FISH RECIPE:  Check the blog for this weeks recipe! 

NOTES: Beach time and I think it will be a problem to keep the puppy from getting into the surf, she loves to swim and the swells might be a bit much today.  I wrote this report to the music of her snoring at my feet and the birds chirping outside as the sun comes up! Until next week, tight lines!

 

Happy Memorial Day to All!

Many thanks to all who have served in the past and present.  Your sacrifice can never be repayed.

Cabo Fish Report
May 14-20, 2012

WEATHER: I may have been premature in my declaration last week that it was summertime in Cabo. The week started with the summer feeling but on Wednesday night the wind started to blow and when we got up on Thursday morning the thermometer showed a cool 67 degrees, the wind blew all day and it never got above 80 degrees that I saw. On Friday morning it dropped still more to a low of 62 degrees, downright chilly for here! The wind started to taper off in the early morning and then died to nothing, it warmed to about 85 degrees and on Saturday we were back to normal with the morning low at 73 degrees, same on Sunday. What was interesting was on Friday a fog bank moved in from the Sea of Cortez. It was just marine fog, not getting much farther than one mile inland, but it moved in really fast as far toward Cabo as Grey Rock, then several hours later moved right on back. There was no rain this week but we did have decent dew in the mornings, as well as some moisture from the fog.
WATER: The water was both perfect and perfectly awful this week. Bad to hear, and worse for anglers, but the currents and winds have a way of doing things you cannot predict. We started the week with wonderful water conditions, which was nice since Cabo was once again hosting the IGFA Offshore Championship. This event involves teams from around the world who must have won a qualifying event to be invited. We started the week with water between Cabo and the East Cape at 75-77 degrees and those temperatures held for Tuesday, but there was a small intrusion of cooler water about 15 miles offshore, just to the outside of the 1150 area. On Wednesday the water to the Gorda Banks had cooled to 70 degrees but at the East Cape we were still seeing 76 degree water. Wednesday night the winds picked up and the current from the Pacific side came on strong so that on Thursday morning the same area between Cabo and San Jose had dropped to 60 degrees and the Punta Gorda/Frailes area was only 65 degrees, and a bit dirty. On the Pacific side the water became very rough due to the winds, at the end of the week we had water as cold as 55 degrees along the coast and extending past the Cape to the southwest 50 miles. That water was very dirty and green. The surface conditions moderated over the weekend but the water remained cold and dirty.
BAIT: Mostly Caballito with some Mullet this week, but there were a few Mackerel showing at the end of the week, probably due to the cool water. In the San Jose area the Sardinas were available at the beginning of the week but the cold water at the end of the week forced them much further north. The larger baits were the normal $3 each while the Sardinas, if you could find them, were running between $20 and $25 a scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Probably the best way to explain the Marlin bite this week is with a re-cap of the IGFA Offshore Championship results. Striped Marlin were the target of 47 teams competing for the title and they fished for four days, Monday through Thursday. For the first three days the number of bites increased later and later in the day. This was a result of the warmer water slowly moving away from our area. Day one, Monday, resulted in 139 Striped Marlin released and two Dorado caught. Most of the fish were found around the 1150 to the San Jose Canyon but boats traveling to the Punta Gorda area did even better. On day two there were 152 Striped Marlin released as the anglers and boats zeroed in on the fish concentrations, running there instead of trolling. Once again there were plenty of fish seen in the San Jose Canyon, fewer at the 1150 and the best bite was off of Punta Gorda and the Vinorama area. Day three had the boats running farther as the cool water started to be felt and the results reflected the fact with only 102 released for the day, along with one Dorado caught. On day four the wind was howling and the currents had pushed the cold water across the entire area. All that you heard on the tournament radio channel were questions on water temperatures and if anyone had found fish. The results speak strongly of the Striped Marlins preferred temperature as there were only 8 Striped Marlin released for the day. The bite remained off for the remainder of the week as the cold water maintained its influence in our area.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Offshore action for Yellowfin was slow to non-existent for almost everyone, but a few boats did manage to find some football to 30 pound fish due south early in the week. The fish were mixed with Porpoise but did not remain in the area. There were no Tuna caught by the tournament boats, even though Tuna over #30 were worth points.
DORADO: The few Dorado I saw were caught early in the week before the water temperature dropped. As the tournament results show, there were only three decent Dorado caught by 47 boats fishing for 4 days. All the fish I saw and heard of came from the Sea of Cortez side of the Cape.
WAHOO: I did not hear of any Wahoo caught this week, and the tournament boats fishing Vinorama and Los Frailes were in the perfect zone to get a few, but had no fish reported.
INSHORE: For boats and anglers wanting something besides Marlin this week, inshore was the way to go. Pompano have shown up in good numbers, averaging 6-9 pounds. Great eating fish and fun to fight, most of them, as a mater of fact all of them, were caught on the Cortez side of the Cape. There were some scattered Yellowtail and Sierra as well, but the numbers of Sierra dropped off a bit from last week. Mix in some decent Snapper and some Amberjack and there was action and meals to be had fishing inshore. Oh, there were also some small Roosterfish found as well!
FISH RECIPE: Check the blog for this weeks recipe!
NOTES: It’s Sunday and time for the morning beach walk with the pup. I don’t think I am going into the water, it’s too cold for me but the pup loves it. This weeks report was written to the music of the Eagles off of an old mix CD I have had for a long time. We have our toes and fingers crossed that the currents change again and bring back the warm blue water! Until next week, tight lines!

Cuban Style Fish with Orange Salsa

Cuban Style fish with Orange Salsa

I found this recipe in the Seattle Times, well sort of. The original recipe was for pork. After reading the recipe I decided this would be great with fish too! And of course I adjusted things a little as usual and to match what I find in the stores here
For the fish
You need 1 lb of fish, we used yellowtail.
2 oranges I used the sweet juice oranges.
1 large lime or 3 small ones
2 tbs chopped cilantro
4 cloves of garlic minced.
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

Juice the citrus, and mix in the garlic and cilantro. Pour over the fish
and let marinate for an hour.

Orange Cuke Salsa
In a medium size bowl, add the following:

½ cucumber, seeded and chopped in small cubes.
3 sweet oranges, slice the peel off, and as much of the white pith in the middle as you can and cube them.
1 scallion (green onion) sliced rings up to the dark green part.
20 mint leaves chopped
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 cup oil
salt and pepper to taste.
Mix together gently and let sit so the flavors can blend together.

Orange Rice
Follow the directions on the package to make rice, but add one peeled, pithed and chopped orange as above. Stir in so orange is blended with the rice. Cook as you would regular rice.

When ready to eat, place the rice on the plate first, with a fillet of fish next, salsa on the top.
With all the citrus this dish was light and refreshing on a warm spring evening.

Final Results for the IGFA Offshore Championship in Cabo San Lucas

It was no suprise to anyone that the team representing the 2010 Offshore Championship walked away with first place this year. Going in to the fourth day of fishing they held an almost insurmountable lead with more than twice the number of points than the second and third place teams. Releasing a total of 37 Striped Marlin, from three different boats with three different crews in the first three days, they proved that winning in 2010 was no fluke. The team lead after day one with 11 releases, tied for first place on day two at 11 releases with the team that would end up in second place, the Master Dolphins Tournament team, who ended up with a total of 3,800 points for the tournament. On the third day the 2010 Championship team released 15 Striped Marlin and on the fourth day they released no fish at all. The third place overall was the team representing the 7th Campeonato Int. de Pesca Grossa de Portemao. With 47 teams representing different qualifying tournaments from around the world, fishing for 4 days with a different boat and crew each day, we had the best of the best fishing in this tournament. The total releases for the 188 man days of fishing efforst was 401 billfish with three Dorado brought in and weighed for extra points. The fourth day of fishing had a dismal showing by the Marlin as only 8 fish were released. This was undoubtedly due to the sudden change in wind and current on Thursday night that dropped the water temperature by almost 7 degrees. Top angler for the tournament was Hernando Gonzalas from the 2010 Offshore Championship team with 24 releases and the top captain for the tournament was Capt. Luis Abaroa of the boat “Go Deep”, a 31′ Blackfin. Congradulations to everyone on a great tournament!

Day 3 up-date on IGFA Offshore Championship, Cabo San Lucas

I am a little late on the up-date today as we spent the afternoon at the beach watching the 47 boats returning. Every single one came home from the Sea of Cortez side of the Cape. Check out my fish report at the beginning of next week for the reason! Well, it looks like barring a total skunk on day 4, the 2010 Offshore Championship team will be repeating their sucess this year. At the end of the day they hold a very commanding lead with 7,400 points, over twice the number of points held by the Master Dolphins Tournament and the 7th Campeonato Int. de Pesca Grossa Del Portimao teams who are tied in second place with 3,600 points each. Angler Hernando Gonzalez reamins as the top angler with a combined 3 day total of 4,800 points. Total fish catch so far over three day and 47 teams is 393 Stri ped Marlin released with no Blue or Black Marlin reported. Tomorrow is the final day of the tournament and as I mentioned, barring the 2010 Championship team failing to go out, or getting skunked, they will be crowned as this year champion as well. I should have more information tomorrow and of course, the weekly report on Sunday! Until then, tight lines!

2nd day results from the IGFA Offshore Championship in Cabo San Lucas

In a repeat of yesterdays performance the fishing team that won the 2010 IGFA Offshore Championship proved that they are a strong team as 11 Striped Marlin released for the day maintained their position at the top of the leader board. Eleven releases each day have them leading the 47 teams entered with 4,400 points. Second place is shared by the teams representing the Master Dolphins Tournament and the 39th Annual Bluewater Tournament with 3,400 points each, just 5 fish behind the leading team.  The 39th Annual Bluewater Tournament team almost doubled their fish count of yesterday to remain near the top while the Master Dolphins Tournament team moved up from yesterdays total of 800 points, releasing 13 fish today compared to 4 yesterday.  Top angler is now Luis Lorenzo Arballo Castillo of the Master Dolphins Tournament team with 2,600 points while yesterdays leading angler Hernando Gonzalez is now in second with 2,200 points.  Check back tomorrow for the day 3 update

IGFA Offshore World Championship Day #1 Results

At the end of the first day of four days fishing there is still one fish hooked up and being fought by the team representing the Lae Game Fishing Club Billfish Tournament. With 47 teams entered into the tournament there have been 144 Striped Marlin released with the 2010 IGFA Offshore World Champions in first place with 2,200 points. Second place is the team representing the San Carlos Cantina Cup with a first day total of 1,400 points and the team representing the XV Torneio de Marlin Azul do Rio de Janeiro with 1,400 points. Two teams, the 7th Campeonato Int. de Pasca Grosso de Portimao and the 39th Annual Bluewater Tournament are tied at 1,200 points and there are 4 teasms tied at 1,ooo points. With three more days of fishing in the offing it is still anyones tournament. part of the difficulty for the teams involved is that the have to change boats every day, and it is a blind draw format. With 47 teams from around the world, experience in throwing live bait is a gigiantic plus. The first place team was fishing on board the “Valerie” and released 11 Striped marlin at 200 points each. Team angler Arturo Montelongo released four fish for his team. This team will be fishing aboard the “Listo”, “Yahoo” abd then the “Dream Weaver” for the next three days. Stay tuned for tomorrows update!

Cabo Fish Report

May 7-13,  2012

WEATHER:  It’s summertime!  We have had clear skies and warm weather all week, and the water is warming up as well.  With the daytime temperature getting into the mid to high 90’s and the nights only dropping to the high 70’s we know it’s not too long before going to the beach will become an almost daily ritual.  It’s about the only way to beat the heat without running the AC all day long.   Put the sweaters and long pants away and buy new tubes of sunscreen.

WATER: At the end of the week it was clear that warm water has been pushing our way from the east.  The surface temperatures on the Sea of Cortez inside the 1,000 fathom line east of the 95 spot is a steady 75-76 degrees.  Outside the 1,000 fathom line and from the beach on out north of the 95 spot to the lighthouse on the Pacific side the water is 69-70 degrees.  From the lighthouse on the Pacific side an 8 mile wide band of  67 degree water extends from the northeast to the southwest.  On the northern side of this line, for about 3 miles, there is a band of cold water at 60 degrees that runs right across the top of the San Jaime Banks.  North of this band the water warms a degree or so to 63-64 degrees.  Surface conditions throughout the area have been great with small swells and mostly light afternoon winds.

BAIT:  Caballito have been the prevailing bait this week with very few Mackerel and a decent supply of Mullet, all at the normal $3 per bait.  For boats willing to go the distance and needing Sardines, we were finally seeing some decent size ones from San Jose, but you had to be there early, and they were going for $20-$25 a scoop if you could get them.

FISHING:

BILLFISH: With the moon in it’s waning phase we are seeing more Striped Marlin on the surface and they seem more willing to take a bait than they were last week.  The favorite area is still between the 1150 and the San Jose Canyon, but there are fish showing up on the 95 spot, probably as the warm water keeps moving to the west the fish will follow.  A few boats were finding Marlin very close to the beach, less than two miles out.  They were not there in the numbers being found offshore, but they were willing to bite and many boats managed to close out a half day trip by catching one right outside Cabo.  In more good news, the warming water may also be bringing in more of the larger Marlin as several boats this week reported catching Blue Marlin.  I did not see any of the fish but they were reported to me as being less than 200 pounds and were caught on lures pulled for Striped Marlin.  Never forget that there are other billfish out there as well!  A private boat went out this week to run some checks on their electrical systems, checking the radar, sonar, FLIR and such and of course they put a couple of lines in the water.  Crossing the 95 spot they hooked up a Swordfish that weighed just under 300 pounds, on a lure, at night!  You never know what is going to show up!

YELLOWFIN TUNA: I did hear of a few boats in the area that lucked into #100 fish while working Dolphin but there were no numbers reported to me, just that a few had been caught.  Must be nice to luck into these fish!  For the rest of us, Yellowfin were pretty much a hit-or-miss situation.  Find the right porpoise pod and you might get a few fish averaging 15 pounds, but there were not many of them out there.  Boats fishing inshore trolling Rapallas for Yellowtail caught a few Yellowfin, but once again there were no number of them, just the occasional fish here and there.  These were not fish that I would have gone out and targeted this past week, but instead would have been happy to get as a by-catch.

DORADO:  I think the Dorado may just be a month away as we are slowly seeing the bite improve.  Once the water hits 80 degrees we might see it bust loose, but for now an occasional 30 pound fish with a few smaller ones in the 10 pound class are what we are seeing every day, and that is not per boat, but an average of about 10 boats.  They are there, but the numbers are not here yet.

WAHOO:  Wahoo were scattered this week with most of the fish reported coming from the warmer water up around the Gorda Banks and Punta Gorda.  More were being seen than were being caught, but there were some nice fish reported with weights ranging from 25 to 70 pounds.  Sure would be nice to get a couple of Wahoo fillets, I have some ingredients just waiting to use on them for a great meal!  The fish that have been caught have mostly been on live bait but a few have been reported caught on lures, and almost all the fish have come from shallow water, less than 350 feet.

 INSHORE:  Sierra continue to be the inshore fish of the week in our area, but I have heard reports from a few of our boats that have ventured up to the Punta Gorda area that there was a decent bite on Pompano that lasted for a few days.  These great eating fish were found close to the beach, averaged 6 pounds and were biting on Sardinas.  There are still some Yellowtail being found on the Pacific side of the Cape, but not in the numbers we were seeing several weeks ago, nor in the same size range.  Boats are averaging two to three fish per trip and the size has dropped to an average of 12 pounds.  Also being found inshore are good numbers of Roosterfish to 20 pounds.  Great action on spinning and fly tackle, when you mix in an occasional Jack Crevalle you better be ready!

FISH RECIPE:  Check the blog for this weeks recipe! 

NOTES: Tawny is snoring at my feet, waiting for the Sunday beach walk, that was my music for this report!  Can’t keep her waiting, and of course a great Sunday breakfast when we get back, a call to Mom for mothers day and then off to watch the final round of golf at TPC Sawgrass!  Have a great week everyone, and Happy Mothers Day!  Until next week, tight lines!

Lemon Scallion Marinade

Lemon Scallion Marinade
I used this both with chicken and fish last week it was so good.

1 lb white fish fillets, we used yellowtail.
Juice of 1 lemon
1 green onion sliced thin
1 ½ tsp fresh thyme
1 clove garlic minced
½ cup Avocado oil.

This was so easy and delicious.

Into a bowl squeeze the juice of one lemon, add the onion, thyme and garlic.
With a fork, smash the onion slices to help release the juices.

Mix in the oil and stir until well mixed.

Place fillets into a one gallon ziplock bag, pour marinade onto the fish.
Squeeze the air out of the bag, and close tightly.

Massage the marinade around the fish so it is totally covered.
Refrigerate for 1 – 3 hours
Then grill.
Remember the old term for cooking any fish. 5 minutes per inch per side.

Fish stuffed and wrapped in foil and will take a little longer.

Cabo Fish Report
April 30 – May 6, 2012

WEATHER: This was a very strange, yet very great week for weather in Cabo as we received our first rain in almost a year! It was sunny and warm all week with the temperatures at 6 AM in the mid 70’s while in the evenings it stayed warm, at 9 PM on Saturday it was still 85 degrees. Our first rain in almost a year arrived unexpectedly on Friday, which for some reason was also the best sea surface temperature shots of the week, amazing with the cloud cover we had. The front moved in from the southwest with heavy cloud combined with plenty of lightning and thunder. The animals were hiding under the bed with all the booms and rolling vibrations! The rain was not a large amount, just enough to get the cars good and dirty with runnels of water coursing down the dust, but it did manage to give the trees and plants a mush needed cleaning, and knocked the dust down for a while. The early part of the week saw mostly cloudy skies and after Friday the skies cleared up and we had sun and fun!
WATER: The water has started to change on us with warm water moving in from the east. Off of the Gorda Banks area we are seeing blue water at 78 degrees, changing to 74 degrees between San Jose and Cabo while in front of Cabo it is 72 degrees. On the Pacific side of the Cape we have 70 degrees below the San Jaime Banks and 67 degrees above it. That colder water above the San Jaime is green and just off the beach inside the Golden Gate Bank not only is it cold,but it is a very dirty red/green color. On the surface the Pacific side has had some swells to 8 feet with most of them averaging 4-6 feet. On the Cortez side of the Cape it has been smaller at 3-5 feet and spaced fairly far apart. The only real bad day on the water this week was on Friday when the front moved through, I would not have wanted to be out there after 1 PM!
BAIT: The usual Caballito and Mackerel with a few Mullet at the normal $3 per bait along with a few Sardines, but they are becoming more and more scarce recently. A few of the bait boats have been carrying frozen Ballyhoo, but you have to be careful as some of them have been frozen, thawed and re-frozen when they don’t sell the first day. That kind of bait falls apart very quickly.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Fishing for Striped Marlin was mostly concentrated in the area between the 1150 and the Gorda Banks as that is where the bait was. It was common early in the week to see dozens of fish either sleeping or tailing on the surface and you could actually find a few that were hungry. A good trip early in the week resulted in 4 to 6 releases while an average trip might have one or two. As the week went on and the moon became larger the bite dropped off as did the number of fish seen. I went on Wednesday and we saw 13 fish, resulting in 8 strikes with four of these released. I heard of a Blue Marlin being caught early in the week but do not know the size or where it was supposed to have been caught.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: It is a waiting game for the Yellowfin still, and while there are a few small fish being caught there are no numbers. The only fish I heard of this week were caught 7 miles to the southwest of the arch in the blind, striking on cedar plugs. One boat brought in tree out of five fish and another boated one out of three strikes. The fish were footballs of about 8-10 pounds. I did not hear of any other Yellowfin caught within our normal operating range. By the way, the boat that caught the three Yellowfin also caught and released a Marlin on that cedar plug!
DORADO: Once again there were a few Dorado caught in the warm water in the Sea of Cortez. Small fish were found close to the beach while there were a few larger nice sized fish found offshore by boats fishing for Marlin. No real numbers were reported by any of the boats, but it seems to be a sign of good things to come!
WAHOO: The full moon resulted in a few Wahoo but no large numbers. There were more strikes resulting in cut off lures and baits than there were fish caught! Maybe 15% of the boats had a Wahoo strike and half of those managed to get one to the boat. Average size on the speedsters was 25 pounds.
INSHORE: The Yellowtail bite has dropped off and the Sierra have taken over the position of the fish of the week for the anglers fishing inshore. Not that the Yellowtail aren’t out there, it’s just that the numbers have dropped off. Toss in an occasional Amberjack, Grouper and a few Snapper and fishing the beach has been the best way to insure having something to eat for dinner! The best areas have been from the lighthouse on the Pacific side to the arch, and on the Sea of Cortes from Chileano Bay to Palmilla Point.
FISH RECIPE: Check the blog for this weeks recipe!
NOTES: This weeks report was written to the music of Jack Johnson on the CD “On and On”, still one of my favorites from him. We hope you have a great week and check us out next week for an updated fishing report from Cabo San Lucas. Until then, tight lines!
