Tip&Trick Description 1:
The Castaway
One day this guy, who has been stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years, sees an unusual
speck on the horizon. 'It's certainly not a ship, 'he thinks to himself. As the speck gets closer and closer,
he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft.
Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes this drop-dead gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and
scuba gear. She approaches the stunned guy and says to him, 'Tell me, how long has it been since
you've had a cigarette?' 'Ten years' replies the stunned man. With that, she reaches over and unzips a
waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it and
takes a long drag and says, 'Man oh man! Is that ever good!'
And how long has it been since you've had a sip of bourbon?' she asks him.
Trembling, the castaway replies: 'Ten years!' She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on her
right sleeve pulls out a flask and hands it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig and says, 'Wow,
that's absolutely fantastic!'
At this point, she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs own the front of her wet suit, looks at
him seductively and asks, 'And how long has it been since you've played around?' With tears in his eyes
the guy falls to his knees and says. 'Oh sweet Jesus! Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there too! |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS

Now into to a new month, weather patterns continues to be slightly cooler than during a normal
year, transition period is taking longer than we would expect. It has been a slow process
waiting for water conditions to warm and clean up, as well as for winds to become less of a
factor. At this time the ocean water temperature has ranged from 72 to 74 degrees. Clarity has
fluctuated, it seems just as we see blue water moving in there is a setback as currents push in
off colored currents again. Conditions can change very quickly at this time of year, so as days
become progressively warmer we expect to see offshore surface action pick up accordingly.
The main offshore species now has been the striped marlin, these billfish are striking on
trolled lures and on cast or dropped back baits, mainly caballito at this time. The marlin are
being found scattered throughout the zone, at times as close as a few miles from shore. They
became a bit more finicky during the recent the full moon, as well as with fluctuating
conditions, though most charters are having at least a chance or two while targeting these
fish, with some accounting for multiple catches. Not many dorado were seen in recent days
compared to last week when we did see a few of them.
Only an occasional yellowfin tuna were being found, these tuna were taken while drift fishing
with bait on grounds from Iman to Vinorama, the fish we did see ranged to over 80 lb. So they
are still in the area, just need the conditions to improve a bit more to their liking. Also a
handful of wahoo were seen on these same grounds, but they were very shy to striking any
offerings.
The most common catches have been various species found off the rock structure, such as bonito,
cabrilla, red snapper, fortune jack, amberjack, yellowtail, triggerfish and others. Anglers
reported mixed success depending on which area they targeting and how favorable the conditions
were on a given day.
Along the shore the best action we saw was reported from areas to the south of Puerto Los
Cabos, nice sized sierra were accounted for, some as large as 13 lb., also a mix of jacks and
of course more triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
