Jan 5, 2004; 10:17PM - Spanish Mackerel Tricks

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I love fishing for Spanish mackerel, so I do it often. When I shove off to go fishing, I often stumble upon a very large school of mackerel, but sometimes they all don't want to feed and reject anything you throw at them. When this happenes, a good trick to get them to bite is to get them exited so they just want to catch what the think is a little fish just for the fun of it. To do this you would want to swich immediately to anywhere from a 1/4oz to a 1/2oz kastmaser-(like a spoon but a lot better). I make a long cast to where the fish are and as soon as that lure hits the water I begin to reel in just fast enough to get the kastmaser poping out of the water kinda like a fleeing baitfish. After it jumps out of the water a couple times keep it fast just below the surface. Do this at least 4 times during your retrieve and pretty soon you will have dozens of mackerel chasing your lure just for the sport of it until the lure bites back and then you get to have all the fun. |
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
When you get those swarms of mackerel chasing the your line, sometimes your lure will come to the boat a little early and the fish will ignore the katmaster and just swim away. To prevent this you want to go to the opposite end of the boat, make your cast, and then maneuver the lure so it will swim parallel to the boat, instead of directly at it, taking the mackerel with it. You will be catching mackerel right at the side of the boat. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
These techniques have worked for me many times and gotten me coolers full of fish and I hope they work for you, too. Good fishing till next time. |

San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
December 17, 2017
Light crowds this week visiting the Los
Cabos area, normal slack period for
traveling, will pick up again over the
Christmas Holiday. Cool climate has
moved in, on and off winds out of the
north, even some rain on Thursday, not
enough to keep anglers from going out,
but made conditions more uncomfortable,
as high temperatures barely even
reached 70 degrees. Ocean temperature
has been in the 75 to 78 degree range,
we expect to see this cooling trend to
continue through the month. More whales
are now arriving from their annual
migration from the north, as
sightings are being reported now every
day.
This is now late in the season for
warmer water gamefish such as yellowfin
tuna, dorado and wahoo, but there will
still be opportunities for hooking into
these fish as long as water stays in
the 70s. The wahoo action slowed way
down this past week, with only handful
of these fish being caught earlier in
the week, we do anticipate that these
fish will become active once again,
before cold water eventually sends them
further south. Dorado actually showed
up in more numbers, still varying from
day to day, though many anglers were
able to catch their two fish limit.
Most of these fish were in the 5 to 15
lb., with an occasional fish to 20 lb.
reported. Remember to release juvenile
female dorado whenever you have the
opportunity, this is beneficial for
future fishery to maintain sustainable
numbers.
Yellowfin tuna were one of the more
common fish being caught on most days,
though numbers were fewer this week
compared to previous. Tuna were being
found off the Arches near Cabo San
Lucas, to Santa Maria, Palmilla, Punta
Gorda, La Fortuna and Iman Bank.
Sardinas were slightly harder to find
in recent days, with Palmilla Point
being the area where the schooling
batfish were being netted. The sardinas
were definitely needed for chances at
catching the yellowfin, as very few
were striking on squid strips or on
trolled lures. Sizes of the tuna
averaged 10 to 15 lb. though a few
larger specimens in the 30 to 40 lb.
range were accounted for, these larger
fish were found on the Iman Bank. Mixed
in with the schools of yellowfin tuna
were white skipjack, a bit smaller than
most of the tuna, but good eating, not
like the black skipjack which are
normally only used for cut bait.
Bottom action produced a variety of
species off of the more shallow rock
piles, wind was a factor on the grounds
to the north. Leopard grouper, pompano,
island jack, bonito, yellow snapper,
barred pargo and triggerfish are were
caught in limited numbers. Using
sardinas and chunk bait produced, not
much on yo-yo jigs at this time.
We continue to see some sierra coming
from near shore grounds, though no big
quantities yet. Also there were handful
of roosterfish caught, up to about 10
lb. No billfish action being reported
out of San Jose del Cabo now, best
chances for striped marlin has been
around the corner on the Pacific Banks.
The combined panga fleets launching out
of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina
sent out approximately 78 charters for
the week, with anglers reporting a fish
count of: 5 wahoo, 32 sierra, 160
yellowfin tuna, 84 dorado, 4 amberjack,
20 yellow snapper, 15 island jack, 8
barred pargo, 10 Eastern Pacific
bonito, 44 white skipjack, 3 rainbow
runner,5 roosterfish, 3 African
Pompano, 22 cabrilla and 105
triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
