| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

Jan 5, 2004; 10:17PM - Spanish Mackerel Tricks

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I love fishing for Spanish mackerel, so I do it often. When I shove off to go fishing, I often stumble upon a very large school of mackerel, but sometimes they all don't want to feed and reject anything you throw at them. When this happenes, a good trick to get them to bite is to get them exited so they just want to catch what the think is a little fish just for the fun of it. To do this you would want to swich immediately to anywhere from a 1/4oz to a 1/2oz kastmaser-(like a spoon but a lot better). I make a long cast to where the fish are and as soon as that lure hits the water I begin to reel in just fast enough to get the kastmaser poping out of the water kinda like a fleeing baitfish. After it jumps out of the water a couple times keep it fast just below the surface. Do this at least 4 times during your retrieve and pretty soon you will have dozens of mackerel chasing your lure just for the sport of it until the lure bites back and then you get to have all the fun. |
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
When you get those swarms of mackerel chasing the your line, sometimes your lure will come to the boat a little early and the fish will ignore the katmaster and just swim away. To prevent this you want to go to the opposite end of the boat, make your cast, and then maneuver the lure so it will swim parallel to the boat, instead of directly at it, taking the mackerel with it. You will be catching mackerel right at the side of the boat. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
These techniques have worked for me many times and gotten me coolers full of fish and I hope they work for you, too. Good fishing till next time. |

San Jose del Cabo
August 4, 2013
Anglers
With the start of a new month we
have finally seen more stable weather patterns and the summer season is now
feeling more like we would expect, increased tropical humidity and warmer days.
The next couple of months is when forecasters will closely monitor the progress
of any low pressure areas, which can that quickly form into tropical storms. At
this time there is Hurricane Gil which is now far off to the west and there are
no other new systems developing that appear to threaten land. Ocean water
temperatures are now averaging 80 to 85 degrees and clean blue water is moving
within a couple of miles of shore, winds have resided and conditions are very
favorable for offshore gamefish action.
Moderate crowds of anglers are
now taking advantage of the much improved ocean conditions, no more having to
travel far offshore to find blue water. The fishing grounds from Palmilla to
the Gordo Banks, from 3 to 8 miles offshore have been consistent this past week
for billfish, dorado and yellowfin tuna. Besides good numbers of striped
marlin, were some sailfish, blue and black marlin. Schooling bolito and
skipjack are now congregating on these same grounds and are attracting the
normal variety of pelagic gamefish. Angles found action while trolling with
lures and various baits. Yellowfin tuna were found throughout this area, much
of the time without any presence of porpoise activity, these tuna were ranging
in the 8 to 15 lb. class, striking mainly on smaller hoochies type lures, this
is the first time this season where the tuna have made a presence in close
proximity offshore of San Jose del Cabo. Dorado are increasing in numbers as
well, with many charters accounted for several dorado per day, weights ranged
to over 40 pounds, anglers now have a good chance at hooking into a trophy
sized bull now.
There were some larger sized
yellowfin reportedly seen breezing on the surface, but only the smaller
football models are striking recently, we do expect something to develop for
the larger yellowfin as the season progresses.
The commercial pangero fleet
continues to find supplies of baitfish in the Puerto Los Cabos Marina channel,
caballito, mullet and moonfish are all available. Though with the added
pressure of having to supply the Cabo San Lucas fleet as well as local fleets,
this bait source has become less plentiful. It is a good thing that we are now
seeing quantities of other baitfish appearing on the fishing grounds. Migration
patterns have been running behind schedule this season, nice to see things get
back on track.
Inshore action has tapered off,
though there is still some quality roosterfish striking early in the day in the
vicinity of the Puerto Los Cabos Marina jetties. Not much bottom action being
found now, strong currents had been a contributing factor in not finding any
consistent bite off of the normally productive rock piles found north of Punta
Gorda. Though August is a month known more for offshore surface activity,
rather than bottom or inshore, it is a time when anglers can find dogtooth
snapper, amberjack and grouper on these high spots where other surface pelagic
are being targeted.
The combined panga fleets
launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out approximately 77
charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish count of: 3 blue marlin, 1
black marlin,11 sailfish, 70 striped marlin, 82 yellowfin tuna, 68 dorado, 84
roosterfish, 18 jack crevalle, 5 amberjack, 3 dogtooth snapper, 10 yellow
snapper, 12 huachinango (red snapper) and 12 cabrilla.
Good fishing, Eric
