Tip&Trick Description 1:
The Castaway
One day this guy, who has been stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years, sees an unusual
speck on the horizon. 'It's certainly not a ship, 'he thinks to himself. As the speck gets closer and closer,
he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft.
Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes this drop-dead gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and
scuba gear. She approaches the stunned guy and says to him, 'Tell me, how long has it been since
you've had a cigarette?' 'Ten years' replies the stunned man. With that, she reaches over and unzips a
waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it and
takes a long drag and says, 'Man oh man! Is that ever good!'
And how long has it been since you've had a sip of bourbon?' she asks him.
Trembling, the castaway replies: 'Ten years!' She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on her
right sleeve pulls out a flask and hands it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig and says, 'Wow,
that's absolutely fantastic!'
At this point, she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs own the front of her wet suit, looks at
him seductively and asks, 'And how long has it been since you've played around?' With tears in his eyes
the guy falls to his knees and says. 'Oh sweet Jesus! Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there too! |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
November 23, 2014
After a series of late season tropical storm fronts developing, this past
week we saw weather patterns return to the more prevalent Fall conditions.
Early morning chill, offshore breeze early in the day, shifting to variable
winds predominately from the north. Ocean water temperatures were still
holding 80/81 degrees, we expect that cooler current will gradually swept
into the region. All in all the climate is ideal now, while much of the
U.S. has endured record early cold waves, we are still wearing shorts in
the warm 80 degree sunshine. Crowds have been lighter than you would expect
for this time of year, but actually businesses have been much busier than
in previous weeks, so it is nice to see the activity.
Live bait supplies seemed to have rebounded some after recent shortages,
sardinas, caballito and some ballyhoo have been available. Skipjack, bolito
and chihuil have been other baitfish options, though never a guarantee they
will cooperate on the fishing grounds. Fishing action has been spread out
from the Pacific to the grounds north of Punta Gorda, no real temperature
break being found anywhere. Most San Jose del Cabo charters are now fishing
in the direction of the Sea of Cortez, there had been a bite going on for
smaller sized tuna, dorado and wahoo off of Santa Maria and Chileno , but
this action became more inconsistent through the week and fleets were
finding better chances in the vicinity of the Iman Bank.
Anglers found sporadic action for yellowfin tuna, at times in feeding
frenzies, other times not biting until later, though other days early
action was best, areas close off of La Fortuna and Punta Gorda also were
holding the schooling yellowfin tuna. One key was having the sardinas for
bait. These tuna averaged 10 to 20 pounds, various skipjack were mixed with
them. An occasional much larger tuna, weighing from 60 to over 200 pounds,
was being accounted for, no big numbers though, Gordo Banks was the best
bet at trying to find the larger grade of yellowfin. These fish were all
hitting on various baits, either live, dead or chunk. They were not being
taken on lures.
Most of the wahoo were striking on baits, as compared to on lures, you
never know with these elusive spooky fish, they are very unpredictable.
Many small wahoo under ten pounds were in the area, particularly closer to
Cabo San Lucas, though there were quite a few fish in the 20 to 40 pound
class and then an occasional larger specimen over 50 pounds also being
reported. Most of this wahoo action was from Punta Gorda and further north.
More dorado are now being encountered off of San José del Cabo grounds,
though the majority have been smaller sized fish, remember to release these
juvenile fish, so that they can mature and reproduce, helping to maintain
the future fishery. More sierra now moving inshore, always a sign of
cooling currents to come.
Off the bottom rock piles there have been a handful of dogtooth snapper,
amberjack, pargo, cabrilla and bonito found, though this has not been
consistent and with increasing late morning winds from the north, this has
not been a practical option at times. Billfish became even more scattered,
probably the best bet would in the direction of the Pacific banks. With the
warm ocean temperatures and plentiful schools of skipjack, there are still
chances of the black and blue marlin hanging throughout the present year.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 205 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 4 striped marlin, 115 wahoo, 590 yellowfin tuna,
310 dorado, 22 bonito, 150 skipjack, 23 cabrilla, 5 amberjack, 28 sierra,
15 jack crevalle, 2 roosterfish, 14 pargo and 6 dogtooth snapper.
Good fishing, Eric
