| 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. |

Apr 3, 2012; 01:15PM - Hawaiin jug trick

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I recently learned this from an old Hawaiian fishing
book a friend loaned to me.
<>
<>When fishing for dolphin take a gallon jug attached to 20 feet of aid or dacron with a 2 ounce egg sinker sliding on it, connect to a swivel and then 6-10 feet of mono or fluro and a 6/0 circle hook.
<>
<>When you start hooking dolphin in the spread, throw the jug overboard baited with a chunk of fish, squid or small live-bait, being careful not to tangle your trolling lines. As you play out the already hooked fish, inevitably another dolphin takes the jug bait.
<>
<>This prevents you from losing the shoal whilst fighting the trolled fish and you also get several followers to cast to around the milk jug that you can go back to once you landed the first fish.
<>
<>Use a gaff to retrieve the jug/fish through the jug handle.
<>
<>Have tried it twice now and it worked like a charm both times, resulting in much more sport and fish on the grill.. Not sure if there are 'rules or regulations' against such things in the USA though.. |

Oct 2, 2003; 03:23PM - Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Fishing Report 9/26/03 - 10/2/03
|
|
Category: Mexico Ixtapa Zihuatanejo
|
|
Author Name: Stan Lushinsky Susan Richards
|
Extremely light fishing pressure was reported in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo last week. September is normally a very rainy time but this year and last week as no exception, the weather has been unusually calm and dry. Sea conditions were favorable. Captain Adolofo Espinosa reported lots of Dorado and Sailfish close to shore along with two Big Blue Marlin. The inshore fishing continues to be red hot with big schools of ROOSTERFISH and YELLOWTAIL JACKS being found all along the coast. The Blue water is within 1 miles of shore and there continues to be ample schools of bait fish. Barring any unforeseen weather event, this year Ixtaap Zihuatanejo Total Tag & Release Tournament promises to be action packed as it was two years ago when 4 boats landed and released 71 Billfish in three days of fishing. Good boats are still available and interested anglers are encouraged to call or email our office for details, registration and hotel availability.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Weather: Cloudy with no rain.
Sea Conditions: Calm to Moderate.
Bait Supply: Good
Sincerely,
Stan Lushinsky
Susan Richards
