Aug 8, 2004; 05:23AM - Stowage of StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retrievers
|
|
Category: [other]
|
|
Author Name: John Szymanski
|
Tip&Trick Description 1:
Simple Stowage of StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever for more deck Space.
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. |

REPORT FROM GARY GRAHAM'S BAJA ON THE FLY:
PROVIDING QUALITY SALTWATER FLY-FISHING 365 DAYS A YEAR IN BAJA FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: bajafly@usa.net; USA toll-free (800) 919-2252; Mexico 011-52-624-14-10373
Sat., August 30, 2003 Report covers the period Wed.-Fri. (8/27 - 8/29)
EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY AND ZIHUATANEJO CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL Chubasco Ignacio stirred things up enough for water temperatures to drop 5-6 degrees. The runoff from the rain created some off-color water extending out a few miles from shore. As expected, plenty of debris was dumped into the sea. If you find anything floating at the edge of the dirty water it can be 'Katy Bar the Door' dorado fishing. Offshore, tuna, billfish including sails and stripes seem to be impervious to Chubascos and were waiting for the boats when they finally went back out. If you need evidence of how much the water turned over during the storm, giant squid have shown up again and yep, they will bite a fly. I bet there are not many of you with one of those on your species list.
AIR & SEA -
Water temperature 74°-84°
Air temperature 77° - 88°

August 27 New Sept. 3 First Quarter Sept. 10 Full Sept. 18 Last Quarter
· OFFSHORE: Billfish, tuna, a few dorado and giant squid. What's holding
you back?.
· INSHORE: Ukkk. Dirty water several miles out makes for not perfect conditions,
but it is cleaning up more every day.
· BEACH: Another week and it should be back to normal with Bubba cruising up and down the beach looking for mullet.
BILLFISH - Sails and stripes filled the bill this week with several decent sized blues showing up in the pattern. Are you ready for one of those on the fly? Now is the time!
YELLOWFIN TUNA - Outside La Ribera for footballs and few larger ones mixed in
with the porpoise if you can find them first. Last boat loses.
DORADO - Best results working the color line from Punta Pescadero to Lighthouse.
ROOSTERFISH - They are there, it is tough to see them in dirty water and the few bait schools got broken up by Ignacio.
JACK CREVALLE - Punta Colorada receivers is a good place to start.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - They're mixed in with the tuna in front of La
Ribera.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - Wait until the water cleans up a tad.
SIERRA - Dirty water inshore makes it tough.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
Sat., August 30, 2003 Report covers the period Wed.-Fri. (8/27 - 8/29)
IN GENERAL: Soggy and sunny best describes Puerto San Carlos. About the only
remnants of Ignacio is murky water in the esteros and unsettled seas on the outside. Water temperatures are slowly creeping up and more exotics are being
reported being seen 240° - 270° degrees, 15 to 30 miles outside the entrada.
Quality-size tuna to 50-pounds a few dorado and a fair number of billfish are
enough to get everyone's attention and the esteros are taking a back seat.
Water Temperature 69°-76°
Air Temperature 71°-82°
Humidity 98%
Wind Calm
Conditions Clear
Visibility 3 miles
Sunrise 7:06 a.m. MDST

Sept. 3 First Quarter Sept. 10 Full Sept. 18 Last Quarter Sept. 25 New
YELLOWTAIL - Look for the bird schools along the 50 fathom line between the
entrada and Santa Maria Bay.
CORVINA - Pier, bridge and power plant all producing good action.
SNOOK - With the storm everything is a bit unsettled so far, but the water is
getting cleaner everyday.
HALIBUT - Even these guys got tossed around a tad.
SIERRA - Pier and bird schools the best place.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
Please note the date. We are only providing weekly (not twice a week)
reports for this area.
Sat., August 30, 2003, Report covers the period Sat.-Fri. (8/23 - 8/29)
IN GENERAL: There has not been much change in the weather or the fishing the
last couple of weeks. The 82º blue water is close to the beach, and the daytime highs are about 92º with 90% humidity. The seas are calm, and what little rain we have been getting, has been at night.
The few boats going out are getting 2 to 3 sailfish a day and at least 1 blue marlin a day is being reported by the fleet.
The roosterfish action on the beach is outstanding, however. I was talking to
Luis Marciel on the pier and he told me; 'Mucho, Mucho, Muchisimo Gallos!'
(That, my friends, means a lot of roosters).
Water Temperature 75º-90º
