Tip&Trick Description 1:
Here’s a fishing story.
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation
took place:
First guy:
’You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this
weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the
house next weekend.’
Second guy:
’That is nothing, I had to promise my wiife that I will build her a new
deck for the pool.’
Third guy:
’Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will
remodel the kitchen for her.’
They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not
said a word. So they asked him.!
’You haven’t said anything about what you had to do to be able to come
fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?’
Fourth guy:
’I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm,
gave the wife a nudge and said, ’Fishing or Sex’ and she said, ’Wear a
sweater.’

Anglers –
July 28, 2019
Tropical conditions, high temperatures
averaging 90 degrees, south wind
early in the week, settling down over
the weekend. There was the
development of Tropical Storm Dalila,
this system moved far to the west, no
impact with land, though there was
local tropical disturbances flaring up,
early in the week over the mountainous
region north of San Jose del Cabo
and in La Paz, where they had major
thunderstorms, it is now the time when
this tropical actives increases.
There were moderate ocean swells and
southern winds the first half of the
week, this contributed to stirring up
water conditions once again, greener
currents along the shoreline, clean
blue water found further offshore.
Ocean temperature is now in the 78 to
85 degree range, off of San Jose and
towards the north offshore, is where
the water is now warmest.
Conditions are now cleaning up closer
to shore, crazy how all through the
month of July conditions were changing
back and forth. It is now the season
when things can change rapidly, both
with the fishing action and the
weather.
Bait vendors offered a mix of
caballito, mullet, ballyhoo and slabs
of
squid. More open water trolling done
offshore, with blue marlin strikes
being reported daily, particularly
around the 1150 spot, also some striped
marlin and nicer sized dorado, to over
40 lb. Chances of finding porpoise
with associated yellowfin tuna, though
nothing consistent for tuna now,
some local commercial pangeros found
some yellowfin to 60 lb. north of
Vinorama.
Closer to shore from Cardon to Vinorama
there were good numbers of smaller
school sized dorado, under 10 lb., some
very small, remember catch and
release on these small dorado, limits
are two per license. As clean water
moves closer to shore we expect some of
the larger bulls to move in, now
most of the larger dorado reported are
out on the marlin grounds.
We had a surprise to see some activity
by wahoo, handful of these
speedsters were landed while trolling
offshore waters, has been a while
since we seen these fish, so that is a
great sign. More looking for various
surface action now, not much besides
triggerfish and an occasional snapper
or amberjack off the bottom now. Along
the shore there were still
roosterfish and jack crevalle, though
that action became less consistent
and actually more anglers are opting to
target the dorado which has been
the main bite for local charters.
*T*he combined sportfishing fleet
launching out of the panga area from
Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out an
estimated 66 charters for the week and
anglers reported an approximate fish
count of: 7 striped marlin, 4 blue
marlin, 5 wahoo, 235 dorado, 24
yellowfin tuna, 9 leopard grouper, 32
Mexican bonito, 14 red snapper, 7
yellow snapper, 8 amberjack, 9
roosterfish, 15 jack crevalle and 85
triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
