Imagine the opportunity to catch six different species of gamefish while being pampered at a remote island lodge in Northern Ontario, Canada. Red Pine Wilderness Lodge is that place. 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. Check out all the details at www.redpinelodge.com or call the toll-free number to book your next all-inclusive fishing adventure.

Aug 9, 2023; 11:24PM - Interesting fish hook find

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Was shark meat a part of the cuisine in ancient Israel over 6,000 years ago? Archaeologists
have recently uncovered a significant clue suggesting so. In the archaeological site of
Ashkelon, one of the oldest copper fishhooks was found, shedding light on the past. This
fishhook, originating from an agricultural village during the Chalcolithic period, is believed
to have played a role in community-wide deep-sea fishing expeditions.
Ashkelon, a city layered with history, was constructed atop an ancient seaport bearing the same
name. Its roots extend as far back as ancient Egypt, with previous findings unearthing
structures from the Byzantine and Roman eras. The discovered hook measures approximately 6.5
centimeters in length and 4 centimeters in width. This size indicates its capacity to capture
marine creatures, including sharks measuring between 2 and 3 meters, or large fish like tuna—
both commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea.
Considering the insights marine biologists possess about the deep-sea ecosystems in this
region, it's plausible that sharks were a prime target for these fishing endeavors. |

Anglers -
Crowds of tourists continue to be lighter than usual, though we do anticipate more visitors in the coming weeks as school terms terminate and summer vacation begins. The weather has been near perfect, ocean water temperatures have dropped due to a northern current pushing in Pacific water and this has created cooler air temperatures accordingly, averaging in the lower 80s. Early in the week there were moderate winds out of the northwest, but they all but subsided by the weekend and anglers enjoyed excellent ocean conditions. Water temperatures have continued to fluctuate greatly, varying from the low 60s on the Pacific to the upper 70s in the East Cape area, but mid-week the cooler currents actually reached as far as Buena Vista, dipping down to 70 degrees before gradually starting to warm back up. These rapidly changing conditions has not helped the fishing stabilize and has made for inconsistent action, as concentrations of baitfish keep moving and gamefish are scattered.
Depending on where your charter launches from, there was a mix of mackerel, mullet, caballito and sardinas for bait, most of the time the supplies were plentiful. Though no particular species of fish was overly abundant there was a good variety of species being caught, catches included striped marlin, dorado, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, bonito, roosterfish, dogtooth snapper, yellow snapper, jack crevalle, cabrilla, pompano, amberjack and sierra.
The marlin bite dropped off some this week, but some charters were still landing multiple stripers per day. Sizes on the billfish averaged in the 80 to 150 pound range. Dorado had showed up in the fish counts last weekend, but as the water temperatures cooled throughout the week they became very few and far between. Yellowfin tuna reports were limited as well, with most of the action reported coming from 30 to 50 miles offshore of the East Cape region.
Wahoo had started to appear in the areas from Gordo Banks to north of Los Frailes, but with the influx of cooler water this came to a standstill, though hopes are that as the currents swifts and warms back up these highly sought after gamefish will once again become more active.
Along the shoreline angles were targeting dogtooth snapper, pargo colorado and roosterfish. The numbers of roosters are increasing, but still have not peaked, the fluctuating water conditions being a factor, they can now be seen chasing bait in the surf line, very exciting to watch the surface explode in white water of frantic mullet with slashing roosterfish attacking from underneath.
Yellow snapper continue to be the mainstay of the La Playita panga fleet, as the area of Cardon was producing good numbers of these quality-eating snapper in the 4 to 10 pound class. There were also a few amberjack, cabrilla, surgeonfish and pompano being accounted for from this same region.
Puerto Los Cabos marina project continues to progress in the final stages. This weekend they brought in a mega sized dredger that apparently will be able to break up and remove the remaining rocks blocking the entrance channel, an armada of Navy personnel is operating this project.
The combined La Playita panga fleet sent out approximately 55 charters for the week, with anglers accounting for a fish count of: 5 wahoo, 11 striped marlin, 1 sailfish, 15 dorado, 9 yellowfin tuna, 215 yellowtail snapper, 14 dogtooth snapper, 58 sierra, 22 Mexican bonito, 9 amberjack, 18 cabrilla, 29 pompano, 22 surgeonfish, 18 jack crevalle and 88 roosterfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
