Take apart a steelhead spin-and-glow. Slide a small bead down your leader on top of your hoochy ( plastic skirt )
slide on the spinner. Looks great trolling for halibut, stripers. Probably makes some noise too while going through the water.. Have fun |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR DECEMBER 21-27, 2003
WEATHER: This weeks highs were in the mid to high 80’s and the lows were in the mid 50’s.
We had some heavy cloud cover during mid-week but it cleared up by the weekend and things
were just great afterward. No rain of course, but the humidity has been heavy enough to require
windshield wipers in the mornings. The wind has been almost non-existent in the mornings but
around 10 am it starts to pick up and by 3 PM it is blowing nicely from the north-west at 10-12
knots.
WATER: The Pacific side has been 75 to 77 degrees this week with the temperature dropping
a little lower on the west side of the San Jaime Banks. On the Cortez side of the Cape the
near-shore water temperature, out to three miles, has been from 72 to 74 degrees while just
outside that it raises to 77 degrees. There was a band of warm water, up to 80 degrees, around
30 miles to the southeast all week. Surface conditions on the Pacific side have been good with
slight swells most of the week until Friday afternoon when they suddenly reached 6-8 feet. The
late morning winds brought on a bit of chop starting mid-day. On the Cortez side the conditions
remained good all day.
BAIT: Bait of the week has been Caballito, as normally happens with the new moon. They
have been the usual $2 per bait and there have been Sardinas as well at the normal $20 per bucket.
FISHING
BILLFISH: This week was pretty much a repeat of last weeks report, at least as far as the
Marlin were concerned. The only change is that the Marlin bite that was happening on bottom
fished live bait ended as the fish and the bait changed locations. Of course no one has really found
where they moved to yet. There was very sporadic action on Striped Marlin this week, with lucky
boats finding a fish or two on the surface and getting them to bite, but most boats were lucky to
find a Striped Marlin to toss bait at. The fish that were found seemed to be to the south of the
Cape. The bite was a pretty even mix of jig strikes and bait bites. A few boats returned from a
days work with several blue flags flying, but most of them had nada.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: You really had to travel and work hard to get into the Yellowfin this
week as they remained well offshore and scattered. Most of the fish found were 30 miles out,
where the water changed temperature. I thought that the temperature break we have had around
the Gorda Banks would be holding nice Tuna, but the cool water coming from the north is green
and bleeds into the warm water so that there is no defined color break to fish. The fish that were
found were football to school size and darker colored lures worked on them.
DORADO: I have to say that it appeared that Dorado were our fish of the week as the yellow
flags seemed most abundant on boats returning from a day of fishing. The concentrations of fish
that were found last week under pieces of wood are now gone, but some of the fish must have
decided to stay in the area. Most boats were able to scratch up a Dorado or two during a day’s
outing and the fish ran the range from small 10 pounders to nice 25 pound fish. The larger fish
were found off shore while near the coast the smaller fish were a little more abundant. The
favorite (and best) method this week was slow trolling live bait out around the rocky points.
WAHOO: This week most of the Wahoo flags that were flying were really for Sierra, but there
were a few boats that actually caught Wahoo. The fish were found on the Pacific side out in 300
feet of water while looking for Dorado and the average size seemed to be around 40 pounds. Not
a lot of fish of course, but they were there.
IN SHORE: Just like last week, Sierra, small Dorado and a few small Roosterfish pretty made
up all the inshore action this week. With the Sierra bite picking up, a lot of the Pangas that were
going well off shore last week stayed closer to the beach to ensure their anglers got into fish.
NOTES: I hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a safe and prosperous new year as
well. I know that I will be enjoying the warmth and sun as some of you just dream about it and
hope that you have a chance to come and thaw out in Cabo!
