Tip&Trick Description 1:
1. Honey is the only food that has every single substance to sustain life.
2. Honey doesn't ever turn bad. You can actually eat honey that was found in Egyptian tombs
thousands of years ago. (if you dare) ‼️
3. A single bee produces just HALF a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. Hard work.
4. The darker the honey, the more powerful its medicinal properties and the less sweet it is.
The inverse also holds true.
5. Honey is the original antibiotic. It's been used as an antibacterial and antifungal for
generations.
6. Honey is a natural sleeping pill. Consuming honey aids with the production of melatonin.
Drink a warm cup of chamomile and take a shot of honey to the dome. Game changer.
7. You don't need to wash your honey dipper if you leave it in the jar of honey itself. Honey
is a natural preservative, so bacteria will not grow.
8. To make one pound of honey, bees need to visit 2 million flowers. 2 MILLION.

Tip&Trick Description 2:
9. Honey is the only food made by an insect that's actually eaten by BOTH the insect and us.
We're literally best friends.
10. Honey is one of the original remedies for an everyday cough & allergies. Local honey is
said to be useful in curing seasonal allergies.
11. Bees don't sleep. Work hard. Play hard.
12. Honey is excellent on burns. Cool the burn in running water. Pat it dry. Apply raw, organic
honey. It will speed up healing and even reduce any eventual scarring.
13. Babies under 12 months of age shouldn't ingest honey (their immune system isn't yet strong
enough to handle a certain strain of bacteria that's quite prevalent in honey)
14. Honey, like a lot of 'animal-based' products have a myriad of topical and oral applications
that make it incredibly versatile. Nature's all purpose drug.
15. The only honey that exists in my world is raw, organic unfiltered honey. To pasteurize
honey is to ruin the work of thousands of bees. You are literally a war criminal.
16. Everyone raves about Manuka honey, but the real ones have tried Jarrah. If you know, you
know.
17. Honey is one of the best hydration sources in the world. Honey > Pre Workout.
18. Honey is nature's moisturizer. |

18. Honey is nature's moisturizer.
19. Royal jelly is a special compound that worker bees secret; so potent it can transform an
ordinary bee into a queen bee. It's like a concentrated, supercharged version of honey.
20. The honey bee is a crucial part of our ecosystem. Without their help, over a third of all
food eaten in America wouldn't exist.
21. Honey should be a key ingredient in shampoos. Cleopatra did it. Why shouldn't we?
22. Bees communicate with other bees by dancing. That's how they signal where the best flowers
are. Seems familiar...
23. Honey is a source of flavanoids and phenolic acids — antioxidants which have been studied
to have incredible anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer properties.
24. The hexagonal shape of honeycomb cells is a MARVEL. How did they know to use hexagons?
Hexagons are the most efficient shape to store the maximum amount of honey with the least
amount of wax needed to build. Geniuses.
To the anti-honey community:
When we eat honey we are NOT stealing from bees. It's a symbiotic relationship. We protect them
from the harsh conditions of nature, giving them a safe space to have their fun and make their
vomit.
They are so happy that they usually produce more honey than they could ever physically consume.
By consuming their excess honey, we are actually helping them restore balance in the hive.
So yes people, eat more honey. Buy all the varieties. Gift it to everyone around you. And
always remember to give thanks to our wonderful striped yellow friends

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
May 19, 2013
Anglers
The seasons first tropical storm has developed off of the Southern Mexican
coast, named Alvin, this weakening storm is far away from making any impact
on land, forecasters do expect to see increased wave activity over the
weekend as a southern hemisphere system is pushing in higher swells and
surfers are excited with anticipation. Spring time weather has started to
feel a bit more like summer, days are progressively becoming warmer, with
highs nearing 90 degrees. Winds have been light, switching from the north
to the south, unpredictable from day to day, as daily weather patterns are
changing continually. Ocean temperatures have ranged from 65 degrees on the
Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas, up to 75 degrees outside of San Jose del
Cabo and towards Los Frailes.
Anglers found that the fishing action has been varying, just like the
weather has been doing, on any given day just about anything could happen
offshore, there is an abundance of squid and other baitfish in local waters
now. At times crews encountered balled up medium sized squid on the surface
and were able to net some of them as use for bait. We are seeing more
schools of bolito now moving in on local fishing grounds, as well as mullet
close to shore. Favorable signs when we see this much bait activity, always
an attraction for gamefish to follow their preferred food source.
Striped marlin continue to provide consistent action offshore, fish have
been scattered throughout the region, anywhere from 2 to 20 miles from
shore. With all of the natural food in the area the billfish were at times
not interested in feeding, other days they would shy away from caballito,
but would readily strike bolito, some charters did accountant for multiple
marlin catch and release days. The majority of the marlin have ranged in
sizes from 80 lb. to 150 lb. A handful of open water dorado are being found
and small groups of these fish were also found closer to shore over the
rocky structure, places that hold concentrations of baitfish, a few dorado
over 30 lb. were reported. Not much talk about wahoo, but we know with such
plentiful baitfish around and the way the conditions are now warming and
with clean blue water being found, that any day these fish could become
increasingly active.
There are yellowtail holding on the high spots, the fish landed are in the
20 to 35 lb. class, they have not been biting consistently, they were
striking best on live chihuil batfish drifted down deep on the Gordo Banks.
These particular baits were very difficult to come by, only available at
first light on these same grounds and in limited numbers, not for sale.
Caballito continue to be the main bait source obtainable in the marina
area, sardinas are schooling along the beaches north of Punta Gorda, but
with higher surf conditions, the commercial pangeros were not safely able
to net them.
Some charters were able to obtain fresh brined sardinas and they reported
catches of various snapper, cabrilla, pompano and sierra. Some of these
late season sierra have been large, to over 10 pounds. This past week there
were several quality snook accounted for by anglers fishing off the shore
near the Pueto Los Cabos Marina jetty. These catches are early in the
season for the elusive snook, striking on baits and various lures, the
largest reported was a 33 lb. snook that hit on a Rapala type lure. An
unusual catch of a 20 pound halibut while trolling a live caballito for
roosterfish was accounted from La Playita panga charter.
Action for roosterfish has been steady this past week, with larger fish now
moving in, several roosters up to 50 lb. were caught and released, and many
other fish were over 20 pounds, numbers of fish have varied each day,
reports of 20 releases one day and the next day boats could only find a
handful best chance was early in the day. Strong currents have been running
and tidal swings can all have an effect on the bite.
The combined local panga fleets launching from La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 80 charters this past week and anglers
reported a fish count of: 16 striped marlin, 3 sailfish, 4 mako shark, 22
yellowtail, 19 amberjack, 38 huachinango, 12 barred pargo, 20 cabrilla, 23
bonito, 30 dorado, 42 sierra, 1 halibut, 9 pompano, 6 dogtooth snapper, 34
jack crevalle and 115 roosterfish.
Good fishing, Eric
