Tip&Trick Description 1:
MEAT STOCK CUBE CHEMICAL LURE
This started off by being an applied science project in school linked to fishing for predatory species. I am happy for anyone to try it out. It takes some preparation but is worth the experiment. You can use it for river, lake or sea fishing from a bank, beach, pier or boat. Use the strongest line you have for dragging. Have a camera to get evidence of your catch.
First get your meat stock cubes – the red varieties are the best imitation of the fluids that leak from wounded prey. They are much cheaper if bought in the large boxes and cost even less if you can get them put on someone else’s shopping list.
You also need a pair of tights or stockings so ask nicely – particularly if someone is wearing them at the time!
Cut the tights/stockings up into 10cm (4in) squares and put them onto a flat surface.
Take the foil wrapping off of each stock cube being careful not to crumble it and place one centrally onto each square of the tights/stockings.
Tie the four corners of the material together into a firm knot – a test of your dexterity – you may need to use bigger squares at first and trim them up afterwards.
Then tie a length of line inside the knot of each lure bag leaving plenty of spare to attach to the eye on your lure. Store your bags in a waterproof and crushproof container.
When you are ready to fish attach a bag to the eye of your lure making sure that you tie the knot so that a used bag can be easily removed from the eye but cannot slip off during movement underwater. A pair of fine scissors will useful to do the cutting during bag changing. Dispose of used bags and line responsibly please – not into the water or onto the site.
Keep safe – wear a lifejacket if you are fishing on or by deep water. Keep yourself warm and waterproof. Do not fish on your own – it is safer with others. Let someone know where you are going and have a means of contacting him or her.

Jun 22, 2007; 07:43PM - Ixtapa Zihuatanejo fish Report

JUNE 22, 2007
The effects of the red tide have begun to diminish. Although not completely gone, the red tide continues to affect the consistency of the fishing in the Ixtapa Zihautanejo area. In what has to be the strangest start to our summer season, our captains reported both good days and bad days for the week. Inshore captain Adolofo fishing 4 days with Angler Mr. Michalsky in Pouerto Vincentee Guerrero landing 29 Yellowtail jacks, 7 Roosterfish to 55 lbs as well as 1 African Pompano. The fish were caught on lures because the ability to get live bait was shut down because of the red tide. There were no big Eyes or Cocineros in the bay. Captain Adolofo reported raising more Roosterfish during the 4 days but they were reluctant to strike. Returning angler Mr. Larry Chandler fishing with Both Adolofo and Temo on the Secuestro landed a mixed bag of Bonitos and Jacks on the fly. His largest Jack on the fly pushed the scales to nearly 25 lbs. Several roosters came within casting distance but would not make the transfer to the fly. Offshore Captain Chiro on the Bloody hook reported raising several Sailfish but they were unwilling to bite. Several Marlin were reported this past week as well. Angler Mr. Mark Peterson fought a huge Yellowfin Tuna for nearly two hours before it parted company far too early. At week’s end the red had had reportedly move south to Acapulco however it is too early to say if it is gone for good.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather: Sunny temps in the 90’s
Sea Conditions: Calm to Moderate
Bait Supply: Fair
Sincerely,
Stan Lushinsky
