Tip&Trick Description 1:
I primarily use this rig for King Mackeral fishing on the East coast. The rig is very simple. When using a ribbon fish deep try attaching a single bait hook roughly 8-10 inches above the ribbon fish. This technique will provide more action to the dead ribbon fish and will also appear to the King Mackeral that the ribbon is attempting to feed on the live bait. All avid King Mackeral anglers know that a large king is more acceptable during a feed. I hope that this rig will help add an edge to everyone who fishes live bait for King Mackeral. The rig should be tied as described below:
30 - 50lb barrel swivel to haywire twist, 4 inch #6 leader wire, haywire twist to single bait hook (sz. preference), haywire twist 8 inch #6 wire, Hookup jig head 3/16, haywire twist to 3 or 4 hook stinger setup. No picture is provided due to the length of the rig. The small wire and hooks are not noticable when whole rig is in frame.

San Jose del Cabo

Anglers –
There seemed to be an increase of visitors traveling to the Los Cabos area this past
week, most likely people are seeking out warmer wintertime weather conditions, as
harsh temperatures continue to sweep across much of the United States. February is
one of the more unpredictable and cooler months in Southern Baja, water temperatures
typically are on a cooling trend, there are exceptionally strong currents, varying
wind patterns contribute to off colored currents moving in and this can change
clarity from day to day . At this time the water temperatures are above normal,
ranging from 73 to 75 degrees throughout most of the region, with an area of 78
degree water hanging 18 to 20 miles offshore of Cabo San Lucas. Last week there were
several days of gusty winds, predominately from the north, but also turning around
and blowing from the south. This turned over the inshore waters, where blue water
had been found as close to one mile from shore, now the color
in the same areas is greenish and this usually means that pelagic species such as
wahoo, dorado, striped marlin and yellowfin tuna become scattered and
uncooperative.
Anglers found much different fishing action this week due to the change in
conditions, wahoo, dorado, tuna and marlin were either very scarce or nonexistent.
Most of the dorado found were actually very close to shore, this is where there were
more baitfish schooling to attract the migrating dorado, as well as sierra and
smaller sized roosterfish. Sierra action is normally a sure bet during the winter
months along local beaches, so far this season has been an up and down situation,
some days there were big numbers to report, while on other days anglers were lucky
to find one or two fish. Hard to pinpoint what the reason for this is, though there
were reports of gill net activity happening along the remote and unpatrolled East
Cape region and this is never a good thing.
While surface action slowed and came to a standstill, the good news was that bottom
action started to show favorable signs of improving. The San Luis Bank was where
local panga fleets were concentrating their efforts, working with yo-yo jigs in
depths ranging from 120 to 180 feet, they were finding a mix of quality sized
amberjack up to 70 pounds, grouper, snapper, pargo, cabrilla, bonito and even a few
yellowfin tuna that were holding in deeper waters. Many charters were accounting for
a dozen fish in combination, but there was the factor of the breeze picking up early
and creating too fast of drift conditions.
We expect that the coming month will provide more consistent action for bottom
species, in addition there will be the option of trolling close to shore for sierra,
roosterfish and jacks. As conditions offshore stabilize, there should be improved
reports for striped marlin. It will also be the time when yellowfin tuna can be
encountered offshore schooling with fast traveling porpoise. So many options will be
available and prospects of the rapidly approaching spring season and the return of
more consistent surface action is just around the corner.
The combined panga fleet launching from La Playita/Puerto Los Cabos sent out
approximately 77 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count of: 3
striped marlin, 1 sailfish, 6 hammerhead shark, 3mako shark, 39 dorado, 13 yellowfin
tuna,134 Mexican bonito, 192 sierra, 13 roosterfish, 3 pompano, 38 pargo, 31
amberjack, 23 cabrilla, 2 yellowtail and 28 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
