|
| Not all fishes lay eggs. |
| Fishes like split fins, surf-perches, and some sharks instead carry and give birth to live young. Scientists have also discovered that the embryos of some of these fishes actually consume each other in the womb. How’s that for creepy fish facts? |

| The Sea Anemone looks like a flower, but it’s actually a carnivorous animal that eats small fish and shrimp. |

|
| Fishes hear with both their ears and their skeletons, sensing the vibrations of sound in the water. |
| Scientists even suspect that sharks can clearly hear sounds from over 3 km away. |

| In three decades, the world's oceans will contain more discarded plastic than fish when measured by weight, researchers say. |

| Even Catfish are finicky |
| Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

|
| Fish have built in radar? |
| Built-in Radar Many species of fish have a powerful sense organ called the lateral line running across their body. It can detect motion in the water, allowing them to hunt prey, avoid predators, and navigate in the dark. |

Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques
|

Tip&Trick Description 1:
My first time fishing Lake Cachuma was this last weekend April 27th 2002 and I will let you in on a secret this is a fine lake with great staff excellent fishing and abundant campsites. I was very impressed with the guys at the marina ( Jim and Allen) for giving us great tips for fishing their lake without holding back any information necessary for a first timer to their lake. Right out of the marina he told me to troll straight thru the center of the lake and we would be sure to get bit and he was right. Less than 10 minutes from the launch ramp right where he suggested we caught the first fish a nice largemouth bass about 3-4 lbs and lost the first hook up as we were surprised to get a strike so soon. This fish jumped clear out of the water and fought like a much larger fish than it actually ended up being. |

Tip&Trick Description 2:
We released the bass and continued anxious to get to the trout which is what we were after. On the way to the next spot Jim and Allen had given us directions to we saw 4 deer on the shore grazing like they owned the place (which I guess they did) We set our sites on the points jetting out along the far side of the lake about 200 feet offshore. Instantly off one of the points both the reels went off as we were trolling rainbow trout colored Yo-zuri Emperor Minnows and L-Jack series lures on 4 and 6 lb test at a fairly slow troll. First fish fell off but I managed to get mine to the boat and into it for supper that evening. We did a turn around and went right back over the same spot and sure enough another missed opportunity. Back we went again with another 2 strikes managing to get one in the boat for a better meal for the 3 of us eating that night. Back and forth again for nothing and we decided to give the opposite bank a try. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
On the other side of the lake were the serious bass guy's fishing the bow of their sleek boats with the chairs and trolling motor on the bow. We steered clear of them and moved again about 200 feet off the shoreline and continued our trolling pattern slow and parallel to shore. We started noticing the wind more and more as we headed back towards the launch ramp noticing there was only one jacket made it to the boat and it was mine! We again managed to get another rainbow to strike right out of the water it jumped and then a small battle and into the boat it came. We were done now 1 fish each for dinner and one released bass in about 2 hours fishing time. Now it was back to camp to make dinner and get warm. A jacket is a good thing to bring on any lake as the wind always decides to blow in the afternoon. I must tell you that the guy's at the marina tackle shop know their stuff about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Without their tips we may have come home empty handed as several others had that day. Good luck if you get a chance to fish Lake Cachuma and be sure to say hello the the great guys at the tackle shop near the launch ramp it may pay off big time for you in the long run.....Fish on! <'))))>< |

Cabo Fish Report
February 27 – March 4, 2012
WEATHER: We once again started the week with gusty days and partly cloudy skies, but by the end of the week we had great weather. With lows in the mid 60's and highs in the high 80's you could not ask for more perfect weather! As the week worked it's way toward the end, the winds started to die off a bit and when they did start each day, it was later and later. As I said, at the end of the week it was as god as you can get!
WATER: At the end of the week the water along the Pacific side from the shore out to the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Banks showed a pretty even 71 degrees as far north as Todo Santos. On the Cortez side of the Cape the water remained the same 71 degrees but extended much farther offshore, out to the 1,000 fathom line, and then it warmed up to 74 degrees just to our south.
BAIT: Mackerel and Caballito were the baits available at the normal $3 each and there were actually some decent numbers of Sardines to be found at the normal $25 a scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: One day the bite is on, the next day it is off, no consistency in anything except in the area the fish were found. Most of the fish were in the area between the 95 Spot and the 1150. Catches varied between 0 and 3 fish per boat and more fish were seen than were caught. The best bait appeared to be Mackerel, but at times they would ignore the mackerel and only eat a Caballito, other times they would not eat anything. There are some decent schools of Mackerel showing up on the Pacific side but for some reason not a lot of Marlin are in the same areas.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: These fish were pretty much non-existent for much of the week, at least until Saturday. All of a sudden, less than 6 miles off the arch several schools showed up and the boats that were there managed to limit out on fish to 25 pounds. Cedar plugs and small feathers were the key to multiple hook-ups. Elsewhere Yellowfin were scarce to absent.
DORADO: There were scattered Dorado found offshore in the warm 74 degree water, and these fish were nice sized, but there sure were not many of them. A few boats managed to catch fish to 30 pounds but they were not there thick enough to focus on, instead they were incidental catches for boats focusing on Marlin. There were scattered smaller fish to 10 pounds caught near shore by boats fishing for Sierra and Yellowtail, but once again not enough of them for any focused effort.
WAHOO: What Hoo? No reports this week, at least from anyone I heard from.
INSHORE: Well, things sure can change from week to week. This week Yellowtail re-gained the title of fish of the week, but you had to go to the Pacific side to have a decent shot at them. On the Cortez side of the Cape things inshore pretty much were concentrated on Sierra, Snapper and Grouper. Up in the San Jose area the water was calm, there were few Yellowfin or Yellowtail and it seems that the effort was mainly in the area of the San Louis Bank. On the Pacific side the yellowtail were fairly thick, and with a good depth sounder a boat could get on the fish time after time. Spread out between the arch and Marguerite, fishing in water between 120 and 200 feet in depth brought in consistent catches of fish between 15 and 30 pounds, often limits for anglers. A mix of live bait, yo-yo's and diamond jigs did well. There were Sierra in the area as well for anglers whose arms grew too tired to reel in another Yellowtail!
FISH RECIPE: Check the blog for this weeks recipe!
NOTES: Perfect weather at the end of the week as well as some absolutely great inshore fishing. Now if only the Striped Marlin would show up in force and the Tuna arrive and stay it would be perfect fishing as well, but we will take what we can get, and that is not at all bad right now! Full moon is in four days so if the warm water stays we might see a decent showing of Wahoo, we will just have to wait and see.
Have a great week, catch lots of fish, and get those reservations for Cabo made!
