Apr 16, 2006; 08:39PM - Flashing stick baits for pike.

Author Name: Kasow

Tip&Trick Description 1:
When fishing for aggressive or active pike try using shallow running stick bait and retrieve the lure until it is about 10-15 feet away from the boat/pier. Then give it a jerk. The lure will create a bright flash that triggers the pike to bite. This technique works best in clear to mildly clear or stained water. You can try this for bass too. |

San Jose del Cabo
March 2, 2014
Anglers -
Spring break seems to have started early this year, as increasing
crowds of tourists were arriving to take advantage of the ideal
weather conditions and the many outdoor activities available. With the
month of February now over, we can say that it has lived up to its
reputation, being a bit crazy and unpredictable. We witnessed some
chilly mornings, with windy days and then just like that there were
very pleasant calm and almost summerlike conditions. Still many whales
in the area, but with warming days, we will see these mammals heading
back towards their northern feeding grounds soon.
On the Pacific side, the Golden Gate Bank has been the hot spot to
find wide open action for striped marlin, with marlin also being found
in the direction of the Sea of Cortez, but more spread out, as there
have not been the same concentrations of baitfish to find the billfish
schooling up, as on the Pacific. Even a few sailfish were found in the
mix this past week, a bit strange for this time of year. Ocean water
temperatures ranged from 70 degrees on the Pacific, to an average of
74 degrees off of San Jose del Cabo and north to Los Frailes. The more
consistent all around fishing action is being found in the direction
of the warmer waters.
Dorado never left local waters this winter and they normally do, these
fish are still being caught daily, from inshore to offshore, fish were
striking lures and various baits, rigged ballyhoo and live caballito.
Sizes were ranging from 5 to 25 lb. Still no sardinas being found in
local water, basically all season we have not seen these smaller
baitfish, larger baits and using lures has been the main deal. Number
of dorado were not huge, though some charters were catching up to five
or six. Surprisingly there were also wahoo hanging around in certain
areas as well, most of these fish were found from Punta Gorda to La
Fortuna, and within a mile of shore, again no big numbers, one or two,
here or there, sizes in the 15 to 25 lb. Class. The wahoo were
striking on trolled baits, rapalas and yo-yo jigs.
Other action now included the Eastern Pacific Bonito, spread
throughout the zone, striking on rapalas and jigs, sizes 2 to 10
pounds, fun action on light tackle, also a good eating species. This
past week we saw more numbers amberjack being accounted for, hitting
off the bottom structure, on yo-yo jigs and caballito. Sizes ranged up
to 40 pounds, with some charters catching three or four of these
powerful fighting jacks. An occasional cabrilla to 25 pounds was found
off the same rock piles. Only a handful of yellowtail so far this
season, though these were nicer sized 20 to 30 pound fish, in recent
days several big yellowtail were hooked into while trolling very close
to shore, where juvenile sized roosterfish and sierra wee being
targeted. We must also mention the presence of some hog sized jack
crevalle that will test inshore angler's endurance.
Only a handful of yellowfin tuna were found, most from the La Fortuna
to San Luis Banks, drift fishing with fresh dead sardinas is what
enticed this action, though with the lack of this bait source and the
combination of swift currents, this was a very hit or miss option.
When the tuna did come up to the chummed bait, a few tuna in the 20
pound class were accounted for.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los
Cabos Marina sent out approximately 102 charters for this past week,
with anglers accounting for a fish count of:
3 sailfish, 5 striped marlin, 13 wahoo, 14 yellowfin tuna, 5
yellowtail, 27 amberjack, 242 bonito, 13 jack crevalle, 34 sierra, 146
dorado, 48 roosterfish, 10 pompano, 18 yellow tail snapper and 9
cabrilla.
Good fishing, Eric
