Not all animals with the word fish in their names count as fish. |

Even Catfish are finicky |
Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

All week local interests were following the development of Hurricane Nora and its projected
path forecast. Mid-week the way things were looking, Cabo San Lucas and surrounding area were
looking to take a direct landfall strike, by Saturday though the situation changed, as Nora
veered east and went in the direction of the Gulf of California, sweeping through Mazatlan,
Culiacan and locations to the north. Los Cabos only had cloud cover, very slight breeze and
little rain showers reported. So things went from preparation mode for emergency, to false
alarm, everything is okay.
Light tourists at this time. For the few anglers in town the fishing action showed signs of
improvement for larger fish. At least a couple of Black Marlin up to 450 lb., were taken from
near the Gordo Banks, also on the tuna grounds to the North, there were several yellowfin up to
100 lb. accounted for, other nice grade of 30 to 70 lb. tuna being the average sized tuna seen.
Anglers were using various available baits, sardinas, caballito, chihuil and strips of squid.
Overall anglers were doing well to land one or two of these tuna, though some boats had as many
as 3 or 4.
Very few dorado seen, though there were a few nice scattered bull dorado up close to 30 lb.
found. No wahoo to speak of, water temperatures still hovering in the upper 80s.
Off the high spots a handful of dogtooth snapper and grouper were landed, at times sea lions
and the sharks made this style of fishing impossible.
Open water trolling produced a mix of striped marlin, sailfish and dorado, towards Cabo San
Lucas we heard of some blue marlin being hooked into, it is that time now, lots of small
skipjack and yellowfin tuna, being their favored food source.
Not much of anything reported near shore, it is the time of year that the inshore action
scatters.
Good Fishing, Eric
