Imagine the opportunity to catch six different species of gamefish while being pampered at a remote island lodge in Northern Ontario, Canada. Red Pine Wilderness Lodge is that place. As hosts for the last 21 years my wife Janice and I have accommodated many satisfied guests from North America and some as far away as Singapore. Although Walleye is the most popular target, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass Whitefish, Perch and Brook Trout are all available on the 28 miles of Lady Evelyn Lake or the portage lakes that we feature. Check out all the details at www.redpinelodge.com or call the toll-free number to book your next all-inclusive fishing adventure.

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. |

09/13/2003 REPORT FROM GARY GRAHAM'S BAJA ON THE FLY:
PROVIDING QUALITY SALTWATER FLY-FISHING 365 DAYS A YEAR IN BAJA FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: bajafly@usa.net; USA toll-free (800) 919-2252; Mexico 011-52-624-14-10373
Sat., September 13, 2003 Report covers the period Wed.-Fri. (9/10 - 9/12)
EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY AND ZIHUATANEJO CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Hot, cloudless days were routine this week. Plenty of football-sized tuna kept the few boats out running from one porpoise school to another. After that action died off it was time to settle down and search for the sailfish attracted by the warm water. While the inshore seems to be recovering slowly from the past few weeks of wind and rain, it is still not worth the effort. Time spent further offshore will be much more productive.

· OFFSHORE: Tuna and sailfish or is it sailfish and tuna; anyway, that was
the best action to be found this week.
· INSHORE: Some pockets of clean water beginning to appear, but still overall not ideal conditions.
· BEACH: If you find an area with fairly clean water and some activity, DONT LEAVE IT. The next one may be miles down the beach. In front of the hotels is as good as it gets right now. Wait till next week.
BILLFISH - More sails than stripers and very few blues this week.
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Plenty of footballs and just when you begin to believe you
are safe with your 8-weight, along comes a gorilla-sized tuna and you get dusted.
DORADO - Ho Hum, still waiting for the bonanza.
ROOSTERFISH - Once the water clears up it will heat up again.
JACK CREVALLE - Only a few smaller variety to be found.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Look along the color break.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - A few found around the rocky points near Punta Colorada.
SIERRA - Slim pickings this week; besides, who wants to mess with the wire
bite tippet.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., September 13, 2003 Report covers the period Wed.-Fri. (9/10 - 9/12)
IN GENERAL: You can tell it is Sept. and shrimp season is open in Magdalena Bay. All the locals want to tell me about shrimping. There are very few doing real fishing, but here goes. Want dorado? As they say, Go West, about six to eight miles should do. If you start seeing some jumping marlin, you have probably gone too far. Plenty of tuna for sashimi to be had closer to the Thetis Bank as well as a few yellows on the pinnacles. Speaking of pinnacles, there is one about a mile south of the entrada that has been producing some nice-sized broomtail grouper if you get deep enough. Back up in the esteros, it must be good because there was no pressure from the locals. Last week, a school of yellows showed up – are you ready for this? – at the pier! It was wide open for a short time while creating quite a buzz in sleepy San Carlos.
Water Temperature 69°-76°

YELLOWTAIL - Take your pick either the entrada or Thetis Bank.
CORVINA - Either the bridge or pier is a good bet.
SNOOK - Quiet.
HALIBUT - Continuing action for those that are interested. Plenty on the south side of Belchers in skinny water.
SIERRA - A few under the bird schools.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
Please note the date. We are only providing weekly (not twice a week) reports for this area.
Saturday, September 13, 2003, Report covers the period Sat.-Fri. (9/06 - 9/13)
IN GENERAL: The fishing conditions have remained in about the same state and
condition for a several weeks now. The 82º blue water is close to beach, but the offshore fishing can only be rated as fair.
A few 20-pound class dorado are holding under the weed lines, but the only rain we received this week was just last night (9/12). And, it was not of enough duration to push much material out of the rivers to attract more dorado.
Each boat is hooking 1 or 2 sailfish a day. The lack of fishing pressure and tourists see only about 6 to 8 boats a day on the water.
The inshore roosterfish action is still excellent, with 5 to 7 of the fish being very large fish and averaging about 30- to 42-pounds. Contrary to the blue water, this bite has remained steady, in part, to the lack of rain. The inshore waters are clear and not muddied up from high flows out of the rivers.
Water Temperature 75º-90º
Air Temperature 77°-90º
Humidity 94%
Wind Calm
Conditions Mostly Cloudy (BKN) : 15,000 ft /
