As hosts for the last 21 years my wife Janice and I have accommodated many satisfied guests from North America and some as far away as Singapore. Although Walleye is the most popular target, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass Whitefish, Perch and Brook Trout are all available on the 28 miles of Lady Evelyn Lake or the portage lakes that we feature.

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
December 22, 2013
Anglers –
Crowds of tourists were light this past week, we do expect to see increased
crowds during Christmas week. The weather has settled, winds were light and
ocean conditions were great, air temperatures ranged from 60/80 degrees and
ocean currents have now varied from 74 to 77 degrees. Clarity of the ocean
fluctuated, having become greenish closer to shore, though conditions are
still favorable for this late in the year.
Anglers found improved action for dorado in recent days, the majority of
these fish have been found within a couple miles of shore, at times they
were found in larger sized schools, with fish ranging to over 20 lb.
Striking on caballito, ballyhoo and various trolled lures, many charters
were rapidly limiting out once they did find where the fish were. Sardinas
were not available at this time and caballito also became less plentiful
with the passing of the full moon.
Inshore action produced roosterfish, sierra and jack crevalle. Most of the
roosterfish are juvenile sized this time of year and should be released
with care in order to grow to maturity. Sierra bite would be wide open if
sardinas were readily available, though these scrappy fighters are striking
on rapalas and hoochies type lures, best action being early in the morning
at first light.
Billfish action was once again now centered on the Pacific side of Cabo San
Lucas, where good numbers of striped marlin are concentrated off of the old
light house and the more distant banks. We should see schools of mackerel
and sardinetas soon on local grounds, this is now the season when we start
to find these baitfish schooling and attracting more gamefish into the
region.
Whale season is now in full swing and these mammals are being sighted
throughout the area. Increasing recreational dive tour operations have put
additional pressure on the Gordo Banks and it is getting to the point where
rod and reel anglers can hardly even have a reasonable chance on these
grounds with so many scuba divers in the water at a given time.
Additionally these boats are anchored up right near the high spot, this
makes it difficult to drift fish in the manner accustomed for productive
fishing on these banks. This is definitely a confliction of interests and
it appears that this situation will likely become worse before any changes
are made.
Many commercial drift netters have been seen in the area lately, it is a
shame these boats are even allowed to operate in touristic zones. They are
truly destructive, their main catch is dorado and marlin, both of which are
supposedly protected sport fish only species, but are blatantly being
commercially exploited as a by catch. It is time to seriously put some
thought into protecting the future fishery and set priorities straight.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 56 charters for this past week, with anglers
accounting for a fish count of: 4 striped marlin, 5 wahoo, 22 bonito, 11
cabrilla, 6 amberjack, 14 pargo, 23 sierra, 18 roosterfish, 175 dorado, 24
triggerfish and 16 yellowfin tuna.
Good fishing, Eric
