Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques

Tip&Trick Description 1:
My first time fishing Lake Cachuma was this last weekend April 27th 2002 and I will let you in on a secret this is a fine lake with great staff excellent fishing and abundant campsites. I was very impressed with the guys at the marina ( Jim and Allen) for giving us great tips for fishing their lake without holding back any information necessary for a first timer to their lake. Right out of the marina he told me to troll straight thru the center of the lake and we would be sure to get bit and he was right. Less than 10 minutes from the launch ramp right where he suggested we caught the first fish a nice largemouth bass about 3-4 lbs and lost the first hook up as we were surprised to get a strike so soon. This fish jumped clear out of the water and fought like a much larger fish than it actually ended up being. |

Tip&Trick Description 2:
We released the bass and continued anxious to get to the trout which is what we were after. On the way to the next spot Jim and Allen had given us directions to we saw 4 deer on the shore grazing like they owned the place (which I guess they did) We set our sites on the points jetting out along the far side of the lake about 200 feet offshore. Instantly off one of the points both the reels went off as we were trolling rainbow trout colored Yo-zuri Emperor Minnows and L-Jack series lures on 4 and 6 lb test at a fairly slow troll. First fish fell off but I managed to get mine to the boat and into it for supper that evening. We did a turn around and went right back over the same spot and sure enough another missed opportunity. Back we went again with another 2 strikes managing to get one in the boat for a better meal for the 3 of us eating that night. Back and forth again for nothing and we decided to give the opposite bank a try. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
On the other side of the lake were the serious bass guy's fishing the bow of their sleek boats with the chairs and trolling motor on the bow. We steered clear of them and moved again about 200 feet off the shoreline and continued our trolling pattern slow and parallel to shore. We started noticing the wind more and more as we headed back towards the launch ramp noticing there was only one jacket made it to the boat and it was mine! We again managed to get another rainbow to strike right out of the water it jumped and then a small battle and into the boat it came. We were done now 1 fish each for dinner and one released bass in about 2 hours fishing time. Now it was back to camp to make dinner and get warm. A jacket is a good thing to bring on any lake as the wind always decides to blow in the afternoon. I must tell you that the guy's at the marina tackle shop know their stuff about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Without their tips we may have come home empty handed as several others had that day. Good luck if you get a chance to fish Lake Cachuma and be sure to say hello the the great guys at the tackle shop near the launch ramp it may pay off big time for you in the long run.....Fish on! <'))))>< |

San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
July `12, 2015
As school sessions end for the summer break we are now seeing more family
vacationers arrive in Los Cabos, they have been greeted with calm, warm and
humid patterns this past week. Distance tropical low pressure areas off to
the west have created more tropical conditions, though winds have been
light and skies very clear, moderate swells and clear blue water being
found close to shore. Only rainfall reported has been to the north of San
Jose del Cabo, near Miraflores and Santiago, vegetation is lush green in
this region, compared to the parched desert landscape south of the airport,
this is the normal pattern July through September, while coastal rainfall
is more often associated with storm systems from the south, not like local
thunderstorms that develop over the mountains north of San Jose del Cabo.
Ocean water temperatures have risen up to 85 degrees in areas, clear blue
water for the most part, varying currents, raging at times, fleets are
fishing over a wide span, searching for more productive waters. Billfish
action slowed, warmer water can make striped marlin very sluggish and the
majority of these stripers migrate towards California during the summer. A
handful of sailfish are now moving in, and there have been blue marlin hook
ups as well, though these fish are very scattered and not very active at
this time. The offshore fishing grounds are holding schools of bolito and
this past week we have seen more and more small football sized yellowfin
tuna arrive, they are usually a good indicator for attracting large
predators such as black and blue marlin. On the local Gordo Banks, this
action usually peaks during the months of August, September and October.
Dorado are even more scattered than the billfish are, only an occasional
fish being encountered, mixed sizes up to 20 lb., striking mainly in open
water on lures, this is the time of year where we normally see larger
concentrations of these popular gamefish. Wahoo have been elusive as well,
but everyday a few of these speedsters have been accounted for off of the
spots ranging from Red Hill, La Fortuna, to Iman Bank. The majority of the
wahoo strikes were taken on trolled Rapalas.
Panga fleets out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina, continue to target
early morning action on the San Luis Bank for red snapper (huachinango),
anglers working yo-yo jigs off of the structure were hooking into quality
snapper weighing in 6 to 12 lb. class. This bite has tapered off compared
to the past couple of weeks, though there is still a good chance at landing
four or five of these snapper, with the only real productive time being
early in the morning, after the sun starts to rise these fish shut down and
most charters will then scout out other options offshore or inshore.
This season we have seem very limited activity for dogtooth snapper along
the rocky shoreline, only an accessional story being told, most of them
involving massive strikes that results in broken lines. The main action
being targeted along the shoreline now has been for roosterfish, though
this action became more difficult the past week, water clarity was crystal
clear in many stretches and this can make these fish spooky. Anglers that
went further north near Vinorama did report great action on larger sized
roosterfish, apparently they witnessed some truly epic feeding frenzy
activity.
An unusual catch was made by a commercial pangero the other day as he was
returning into the marina channel area and was slow motoring, while leaving
a moonfish out on a line, he hooked and landed a 30 lb. snook, all in front
of local crowd hanging at the La Playita fillet stations, not an everyday
catch.
The past couple of days we have seen some sardinas being found and then
sold by the bait suppliers to charters operating in the direction of Iman
Bank, these baitfish were found along the beach north of Vinorama, smaller
in size, but are the first sardinas we have seen in at least two months and
were being used to catch good numbers of smaller sized yellowfin tuna, most
in the 5 to 8 lb. range, though a few tuna in the 30, 40 to 50 lb. range
were also landed, some of these on yo-yo jigs or strips of squid. It is now
the time of year where we see larger yellowfin moving on to the local Banks
such as the Gordo Banks, Iman and San Luis. Last year there was a flurry of
big tuna action in early August, time will tell what happens this season.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 75 charters, with anglers reporting a fish
count of: 5 sailfish,14 striped marlin, 16 dorado, 17 wahoo, 135 yellowfin
tuna, 3 amberjack, 8 cabrilla, 14 yellow snapper, 12 jack crevalle, 24
bonito, 24 roosterfish and 105 huachinango (red snapper).
Good fishing, Eric
