Cabo Flats
After a slow spring ans several trips up the baja to San Diego things are starting to look up here in Cabo. The west wind has started to back off and the water is staring to warm on both side of the cape. Here's a Friday fishing report. It stared off kinda slow. Nobody had caught much. I looked at some mammals for awhile and marked a bit of fish with them but they wouldn't bite. They looked like they would get together and find some tuna if I hung with them but I couldn't wait and let the 3 other boats that found me have them and I trolled toward the Jamie. As it turns out, one of the boats hung with the holeheads and did get some fish off of them later on.
I trolled all the way to the Jamie(around 7 miles) for nothing. Just as I got there a another baot gets a jig bite right off my bow and gets it. Nice. With that I said lets make a move up to the Gate area and hope we can find something there. I ran the 10 or so miles, slowed down started to get the spread back out when I saw a fish puddle near a slick spot a few hundred feet away. I turn toward it and there was another. DORADO, cool maybe we'll get a strike. I never made to the slick area. We got jig bit before we got there by a Flathead and before we could wind the fish to the boat and clear the other lures, the boat is completely surrounded by flats, Thousands of them. I got bit on the lures as I wound them in. We pinned on baits and it was instant on flats. I ran to the bridge, called in the my group. I looked as I was talking and saw there was a KELP up swell from us. A KELP, no boats around, Sweetl.....SKIN.........We landed the couple of fish we had hanging, slide up on the kelp through the iron a few times and a few baits but no SKIN Only more Dorado. You've got to be kidding me???? I find a Kelp , I'm first to it, and no Skin....... Anyway the flats were thick. We used all off our bait, also chunked up a couple, caught them on chunks. The group showed up and instantly got covered up by Dorado. A few charter boats found us after that and they also hammered them. Everybody got fixed up on the flats and started to leave with the fish, still thousands of them looking for something to kill. There were some nice fish in the school. We got several over 25# and a couple over 30#. The other 2 boats got some big ones as well. After that I put out all the big lures hoping to find and Blue in all that dorado but I never found it. I did see some BIG tuna splash around in front of me on the bank but of course no bites but I going back up that way this week with the kite and try to get a nice one. The weather was flat calm the entire day, sunny and warm.
