Tip&Trick Description 1:
Here’s a fishing story.
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation
took place:
First guy:
’You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this
weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the
house next weekend.’
Second guy:
’That is nothing, I had to promise my wiife that I will build her a new
deck for the pool.’
Third guy:
’Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will
remodel the kitchen for her.’
They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not
said a word. So they asked him.!
’You haven’t said anything about what you had to do to be able to come
fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?’
Fourth guy:
’I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm,
gave the wife a nudge and said, ’Fishing or Sex’ and she said, ’Wear a
sweater.’

San Jose del Cabo
January 12, 2014
Anglers –
The Holiday Season has come to an end, school’s are back in session,
work schedules are set and it is now time to start the New Year. Also
a great time to start thinking about planning another adventure south
of the border, where there is plenty of warm sunshine and activities
to enjoy. While there was an Arctic freeze that swept through much of
the United States this past week, Southern Baja was basking in balmy
winter weather conditions, sunny days with highs of 75 to 80 degrees.
Winds were blowing predominately out of the north, but not overly
strong and anglers enjoyed comfortable ocean conditions most days.
Water temperatures ranged from 72 to 75 degrees, warmest areas located
30 to 40 miles offshore, in the direction of the Sea of Cortez.
Sportfishing fleets found action for striped marlin on the Pacific,
close to shore near the Old Light House, where concentrations of
baitfish schooled. On the outside of Cabo San Lucas, 30 miles of more
offshore, charters were finding action for yellowfin tuna which were
associated with moving porpoise, many of these yellowfin were of the
football sized, several days there were tuna close to the 100 pound
class being accounted for while trolling lures in the area where
porpoise were working. Still no source for sardinas, which would help
start up a consistent bite for schooling tuna. Though one local
pangero that acquired sardinas from a boat that netted them near
Vinorama on Friday, landed a 80 lb. yellowfin tuna on a dead sardina
while drift fishing the San Luis Bank. There good numbers of tuna on
these grounds, though you need the correct baitfish to entice them, we
are hoping the sardina situation becomes a more reliable consistent
source. There have been caballito and ballyhoo available most days,
skipjack and bolito have also been found on the fishing grounds, a
good option for cut baits.
Inshore action was just starting to pick up on the Pacific side of
Cabo San Lucas, lots of good sized sierra were being hooked into while
trolling with hoochies. Though we have now heard of reported
commercial gill net activity on these same stretches of beaches, these
nets are set in the evening and hauled out early in the day in hopes
of being more discrete, though the damage is blatantly evident, these
pirate coop operations never seem to get much bad publicity until
whales or porpoise become entangled, this form of fishing is
absolutely indiscriminate, trapping any species that happens to swim
through the particular set zone, including fish, turtles and mammals.
New sanctions are definitely in order to help protect this fragile
inshore ecosystem from complete collapse, this unique diverse fishery
is such a valuable natural resource and can be sustained for future
generations if managed properly.
San Jose del Cabo fleets are now working areas from Santa Maria to the
Gordo Banks and north to San Luis, ocean conditions were greenish as a
result of the cooler north winds, though a few dorado and an
occasional wahoo are still being encountered while trolling surface
lures or rigged baits, though no significant numbers for these fish,
these pelagic species are migrating south now, following their
preferred temperate currents and food sources. Anglers have been
finding good action on bonito while jigging yo-yo’s or trolling
smaller sized rapalas, these fish averaged from 4 to 8 pounds. There
were a handful of smaller sized yellowfin tuna being hooked into on
the yo-yo jigs where the concentrations of bonito are. A few cabrilla,
pargo and triggerfish were also in the mix.
Scattered billfish action off of the San Jose del Cabo, quite a few
mako sharks in this region now, some even struck on high speed lures
and many were hooked into on various baits, most resulting in cut
lines. These sharks always seem prefer these cooling currents, usually
a sign that mackerel schools are not far away.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los
Cabos Marina sent out approximately 85 charters for this past week,
with anglers accounting for a fish count of:
5 striped marlin, 3 wahoo, 16 yellowfin tuna, 315 bonito, 14 sierra,
10 roosterfish, 88 dorado, 8 mako shark, 2 grouper, 18 pargo and 40
triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
