Most pole type lure retrievers are thick, bulky and rigid. StrikeBack is made of 1.5 metre fibreglass rods able to be connected together, each 8 or 10 mm in diameter, depending on the version.
Once you have your StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever at the boat; loctite the first two sections and slide the retriever in the gunwale rail on many aluminium boats, or attach a length of conduit along the inside of the boat. Your StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever is now stowed neatly as it has flexiblity to fit the contour of your the hull. Deck space is valuable, keep it clear. |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
August 15, 2021
Tropical conditions continue, this week, on Tuesday, we received the season's first real
significant rainfall, where even areas along the coastline felt sporadic on and off heavy
thunder showers. No major high winds, so that was nice, the rain was welcome, caused some
moderate flooding, but overall not too bad. The latest storm this weekend is major Hurricane
Linda, following a path far off towards the west, some increased ocean swells, scattered cloud
cover, higher humidity, not much else in the way of more precipitation. This is the time of
year where local weather patterns form afternoon rain squalls on almost a daily basis, most of
these over the mountainous region north of the International airport. The rain squall did shut
down all Port activities on Tuesday, not reopening until Wednesday at 10 a.m.
After the passing of the storm system baitfish became more scattered, as surf conditions made
it tougher for the netters to find the schools. Though as the week progressed the bait
situation did rebound some, mainly for sardinas and caballito. The San Jose del Cabo Estuary
opened to the ocean, sweeping a huge population of talapia fish into saltwater and creating a
major kill off, with these dead fish ending up on the beaches as wells as jammed into the
marina, creating a stinky mess.
Recent fishing action centered from the Gordo Banks and north near Vinorama. The Gordo Banks is
where schools of football sized yellowfin tuna up to 15 lb. are being caught in good numbers.
Though black skipjack are even more prevalent, especially near the high spot, tuna are more
consistent off the deeper drop offs. A few nice snapper and cabrilla were also accounted for
from these grounds. A couple of reports of lager marlin striking on trolled tuna, but hookups
were lost.
Only a few dorado seen, most smaller sized, should see some more schoolies showing up, being
attracted by floating debris.
Further north near Vinorama is where the chance at yellowfin tuna to 50 lb. has been. Though
bite is hit or miss, most action coming early. Lots of boat pressure here, since East Cape
fleets are now on these same grounds every day. Also this is a long run for normal charters, if
fortunate maybe a chance at one or two fish. Off the shallow rock piles triggerfish have
dominated things. A few roosterfish have been landed on offshore grounds, rather than close to
the beach stretches, this happens more frequently now, after the baitfish scatter right along
the beaches, the roosterfish go deeper looking for food.
Good Fishing, Eric
