Tip&Trick Description 1:
I recently learned this from an old Hawaiian fishing
book a friend loaned to me.
<>
<>When fishing for dolphin take a gallon jug attached to 20 feet of aid or dacron with a 2 ounce egg sinker sliding on it, connect to a swivel and then 6-10 feet of mono or fluro and a 6/0 circle hook.
<>
<>When you start hooking dolphin in the spread, throw the jug overboard baited with a chunk of fish, squid or small live-bait, being careful not to tangle your trolling lines. As you play out the already hooked fish, inevitably another dolphin takes the jug bait.
<>
<>This prevents you from losing the shoal whilst fighting the trolled fish and you also get several followers to cast to around the milk jug that you can go back to once you landed the first fish.
<>
<>Use a gaff to retrieve the jug/fish through the jug handle.
<>
<>Have tried it twice now and it worked like a charm both times, resulting in much more sport and fish on the grill.. Not sure if there are 'rules or regulations' against such things in the USA though.. |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
March 17, 2013
Anglers –
Up until now we are only seeing moderate crowds of visiting spring break
vacationers, though this coming week will be a very busy time for local
residents. The annual San Jose del Cabo Fiesta Week has just begun, many
events are planned, including a world class full length triathlon, off road
vehicle race, carnival rides, fishing tournaments, etc.. Should be a fun
time for all, but remember that there will be some annoying street closures
during this period, traffic and parking will be challenging. The weather is
now as nice as it gets, scattered cloud cover, residing winds, with high
temperatures up to 85 degrees.
With the spring time fishing season just starting to show signs of coming
to life, anglers are still finding the action to be up and down. Northern
winds have been more persistent than usual this year, they do seem to be
tapering off some now, ocean water temperatures are ranging 67 to 73
degrees, at this time there is a warming trend and this should help improve
the all around conditions. Baitfish schools have become scattered for the
past week, some days there have been reports of balled up mackerel found
offshore and along the shoreline near San Luis is where schooling sardinas
are being netted, tides and increased swell activity made this job tougher
for commercial pangeros.
Charters launching from Cabo San Lucas Marina are finding large numbers of
yellowfin tuna in the 15 to 20 pound range on the Pacific side near the San
Jaime Banks, los of porpoise activity in this same area. This action is out
of range for the San Jose fleets, though there has been a chance at hooking
into a much larger sized yellowfin tuna on the Gordo Banks, only a few of
these fish have actually been landed, but these tuna are all in the 50 to
200 pound class. We are hopeful that some warmer weather can help improve
this action. There are some yellowtail on these banks as well, but only a
handful are being landed, too many hammerhead sharks on the same grounds,
makes fishing with bait impossible and the yellows are not consistently
striking on yo-yo jigs at this time, preferring the same larger baitfish
that the sharks do.
Fleets based out of La Paz and the East Cape region reported great
yellowtail action on the days that the north winds allowed them to
comfortably reach the grounds. The overall bottom action for the San Jose
fleet has not been up to expectations, mixed success for various pargo
species, amberjack, cabrilla and an occasional yellowtail. This is never
peak season during this time frame and we do expect to see improved action
with the arrival of spring just around the corner.
After last week’s wide open striped marlin bite around the Gordo Banks the
cooler windy conditions over the weekend scattered this bite and just in
the past couple of days we are starting to see more marlin showing up
within local charter boat range. We do expect that the main concentration
for striped marlin will now shift to the grounds from San Jose del Cabo
towards the East Cape, this is the typical pattern. This is also the time
when whales move out of this area and head to their northern summer feeding
grounds.
The fishing close to shore remains consistent for sierra, with a few dorado
mixed in. More sierra action than anything else, sizes ranging up to 5
pounds, using live sardinas for bait was the best bet, slow trolling or
drift fishing. A handful of much larger dorado were found further offshore
by charters targeting billfish.
This week the combined panga fleets launching out of Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 68 charters and anglers accounted for a fish
count of: 16 striped marlin,
22 yellowfin tuna, 26 dorado, 315 sierra, 8 roosterfish, 16 amberjack,18
cabrilla, 33 various pargo species, 8 yellowtail, 15 bonito, 3 mako shark
and 25 triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
