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. |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT JUNE 21 TO JUNE 27, 2004
WEATHER: Wonderful summertime weather and the days just don’t seem to end. Our night time lows have been in the mid 70’s while the day time highs have been in the high 90’s and the humidity is starting to get up there. Last night we ran the air conditioner in our bedroom for the first time this year, but only for a couple of hours. We had warm, still days and a slight breeze pick up every day in the late afternoon.
WATER: It keeps getting warmer! We were seeing water temperatures in the 85 degree range up around Punta Gorda and the Pacific around the San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks has warmed up to 77-78 degrees. This band of warmer water has wrapped around the Cape and the fish are following it! Our surface conditions this week were great as we had very little daytime wind, for the most part just a bit of swell and chop.
BAIT: Caballito at $2 per bait, some Mullet at $2 per bait and some Sardinas at $20 per bucket. There were small Mackerel available at the bait receiver but they were very small.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The hot area this week was just outside the Cape, up to 10 miles out but for the most part mostly within 6 miles. There were Striped Marlin everywhere, along with an occasional Sailfish and Blue Marlin. This week almost every boat that came in was flying at least one Marlin flag, and if they weren’t, it was because they were focused on another species. Many boats were returning with multiple flags, the most I saw on one boat this week was six! They were biting well on live bait this week, at least compared to the number of strikes to be had on lures.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: More Tuna this week, and again most of them wee football size fish. Blind strikes were the normal method of finding them, but Ion Sunday I was out when a pod of porpoise were found. Of course we were not the ones to find them but the first two boats in the area hooked up to some nice Yellowfin in the 40-60 pound class. The football fish have been scattered from just off the beach to 15 miles out, so they have been easy to catch.
DORADO: The bite is still on for Dorado this week, and it keeps getting better. One of the signs of a good summer is the number of Flying Fish around, and right now they are everywhere to the south and the Sea of Cortez. Most of the Dorado being caught are around 15 pounds but there have been quite a few both larger and smaller. I saw some fish brought in the weighed an easy 50 pounds. The bite has seemed to be best about 1 ½ to 2 miles off the beach on the Sea of Cortez and the best method was slow trolling live Caballito.
WAHOO: It was not a red hot Wahoo bite this week but I did see some nice fish brought in. Two days in a row a boat on our dock brought in a Wahoo, and one of them was a very easy #100 fish! Another friend of mine got two Wahoo of about 40 pounds each on Sunday, along with three Dorado of #15-20, four football Yellowfin and a Striped Marlin released, all in 6 hours on live bait! All these fish were found close to shore, not out at the banks.
INSHORE: Most of the inshore fishing was on hold this week as the Pelagics showed up so close to the beach that no one wanted to go for Roosterfish and Jacks when there were Dorado, Marlin and Tuna right there! For the few boats that did try, the bite on Roosterfish was on the Pacific up past the lighthouse as the Mullet followed the water change.
NOTES: Kudos to both Marco Ehrenberg and Tony Berkowitz this week for their actions in having a long-liner apprehended in the act of fishing on top of the Outer Gordo Bank. Briefly, one of Marcos boats observed the long-liner in action. Marco called the Navy and was told they did not have a boat available to enforce the law, and had no fuel for a private boat. All Marcos boats were fishing or being worked on. He called Tony who said that he knew of a boat available and ended up getting two. They loaded on the Marines and a guy from the fisheries department went out to Gorda Banks and found the boat pulling in one line, filleting a Striped Marlin on the deck, two more Marlin jumping on the line still in the water and their small boat setting another five mile long-line at the same time. The boat was confiscated and there is legal action ensuing. Thanks to everyone involved. So why is the high speed Navy boat anchored off of Medano beach in front of the beach bars every day? This weeks report was written to the music of Fleetwood Mac on their 1990 Warner release “Behind the Mask”. Until next week, Tight Lines!
