Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 12-18, 2002
WEATHER: We had a great week here with typical August temperatures in the 90’s daytime
and into the high 70’s at night. A bit humid early in the week and then around mid-week we
started to get northwesterly breezes in the afternoon that cooled everything off. As of this
weekend the breezes started to steady all day so everything has remained cool. We only needed
the air-conditioner on two nights this week! (I Don’t Know You)
WATER: Early in the week the water was perfect as far as surface conditions go and then
during the weekend the Pacific side became a bit choppy, by Sunday if you were out farther than
4 miles it was tough going. The fishing was good, just a bit rough. The Sea of Cortez water
remained calm all week. Pacific side temperatures have been in the mid 80’s to high 70’s and the
Sea of Cortez has remained in the mid to high 80’s. (Glendale Train)
BAIT: A mix of Caballito, Mackerel and Mullet at $2 per fish, the normal price, could be had
this week depending on which Panga you purchased from. Everybody had Caballito, you had to
search for the Mackerel. (Hello Mary Lou)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: This week was a repeat of last weeks report on the Billfish. Lots of Striped Marlin
spotted on the surface and a lot of them were hungry. It was not uncommon to see boats flying
two, three or four Marlin flags. Most of the Striped Marlin were on the Pacific side or straight
south of the Cape. Most of the Blues that were caught were found on the Sea of Cortez side and
to the south, though a few large fish were found up around the Golden Gate Banks. Sailfish are
still out there and the best action was around the Gorda Banks area. Striped Marlin were fooled
with a mix of both live bait and lures, often when a live bait was tossed at a tailing fish the bait
was ignored and the fish struck a falling lure instead. Almost all the Blue Marlin as well as the
Sailfish were taken on lures with the favorite colors for the Blues being black/purple and
blue/silver. (Louisiana Lady)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: There were a few large fish brought in this week but most of the Tuna
caught were football fish in the 10-15 pound range. The larger fish were Dolphin associated and
there were several toads caught that were loners, not associated with either structure or Dolphin.
Live baits dropped in front of the path of feeding Dolphin brought in several large fish in the
100-150 class and the first boat to a pod usually got at least one Grande hooked up, if there were
any there. Marlin lures were the pick of the bigger fish, and in the same colors the Blues were
checking out. Most of the fish, both large and small, came from either south of the cape or
around the San Jaime Banks, with a few scattered schools reported from the outer Gorda area.
(Kick In The Head)
DORADO: Plenty of these tasty fish were caught this week and the key seemed to be finding
anything floating on the water. It could be just a little stick, it probably had a Dorado around it
somewhere. A lot of the fish were in the 25-35 pound class and for them, live bait ruled. Slow
trolling or drifting a live bait past floating objects, or just working current lines the same way
produced a lot of fish. Blind trolling also produced, but not in the same numbers, or the same
sizes. True, some of the beast Dorado came on the troll, big 50 pound Bulls, but most of the
larger fish were live bait, floating object fish. There was no specific area but blind trolling seemed
to be a bit better on the Pacific side out to about 13 miles, floating debris was found from there to
the San Jaime and in the current lines south of the Cape. (Panama Red)
WAHOO: Just a few fish were caught, and again, as last week, these were incidental fish. More
lures were lost to Wahoo than there were Wahoo caught. (Last Lonely Eagle)
INSHORE: The emphasis by the Panga captains seems to be on the nearshore Dorado and
Marlin. With the warm water close and the conditions good, they had no problem hooking their
clients up to Dorado and many of them were lucky and caught Marlin as well. The traditional
inshore species were caught by those targeting them and catches of Amberjack, Jack Crevalle and
Roosterfish were good. A scattering of Grouper and Snapper rounded out the bill. I Don’t Need
No Doctor)
NOTES: This weeks report was written to the music of “New Riders Of The Purple Sage” on
their 1976 CBS release, “Best Of”. Brings back a lot of memories! The fishing is great, get
yourself out of the office and treat yourself to a fishing trip, after all, you deserve it, don’t you?
Why do you work so hard if it’s not to treat yourself now and then? Hahaha!!! I am not going to
be fishing the first part of the coming week, the boat is getting hauled for a bit of fiberglass work
and bottom paint but I will still be talking to the captains, crew and anglers so I have the straight
skinny for next weeks report. Until then, Tight Lines!
