Apr 3, 2012; 01:15PM - Hawaiin jug trick

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
Anglers –
August 2, 2015
As we start a new month there are no new storm systems on the horizon that
are forecast to affect Southern Baja. At this time Hurricane Guillermo is
far off to west, following a path towards Hawaii, but is supposed to weaken
before impact the island chain. Locally the weather has been very warm and
humid, though skies have been clear, none of the afternoon thunder storms
since last weekend. Ocean swells have been moderate, with water
temperatures holding in the 86/87 degree range. Light afternoon breezes
made for very comfortable conditions for anglers.
The action on the Gordo Banks for past couple of weeks, which had been for
mostly very small sized yellowfin tuna, has now faded out, still a few
marlin being hooked into from these grounds, both black and blue marlin, a
handful of striped marlin and sailfish. This past week there were marlin to
over 300 lb. landed, these fish were striking on trolled skipjack or tuna.
With supplies of sardinas still maintaining fleets in the vicinity of the
marina jetty the action now has switched north to the Iman Bank, using the
small sized sardina baitfish anglers were finding a grade of yellowfin tuna
in the 10 to 50 lb. class. No significant numbers, but most charters were
accounting for two, three, four of five tuna per morning. Off the bottom
this area produced some huachinango, dogtooth snapper, cabrilla and
triggerfish, again no big numbers, but a few quality fish were reported.
Dorado continue to virtually nonexistent, a combination of factors likely
the cause for this. Finding any action while surface trolling open waters
was difficult, more action was accounted for while using baitfish, drift
fishing over the structure where fish were concentrated. Just a handful of
wahoo were found, most of these while trolling early in the day with
Rapalas.
No inshore action to speak of either, just a few roosterfish hanging
around, the season for this gamefish is nearing the end. Though there is
always a chance at finding a roosterfish lingering around the marina jetty
where there are concentrations of various baitfish.
Eastern Pacific appears to be on track of having a strong el Niño warm
water phenomena that can cause havoc on normal fish migrations patterns. We
still have over two months of tropical storm season to deal with, so we
will monitored weather forecasts frequently.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 66 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 2 black marlin, 1 yellowtail, 5 sailfish, 4
striped marlin, 1 blue marlin, 2 wahoo, 190 yellowfin tuna, 13 dogtooth
snapper, 1 gulf grouper, 4 amberjack, 8 cabrilla, 1 surgeonfish, 22 white
skipjack tuna, 4 roosterfish and 32 huachinango (red snapper).
Good fishing, Eric
