Tip&Trick Description 1:
I primarily use this rig for King Mackeral fishing on the East coast. The rig is very simple. When using a ribbon fish deep try attaching a single bait hook roughly 8-10 inches above the ribbon fish. This technique will provide more action to the dead ribbon fish and will also appear to the King Mackeral that the ribbon is attempting to feed on the live bait. All avid King Mackeral anglers know that a large king is more acceptable during a feed. I hope that this rig will help add an edge to everyone who fishes live bait for King Mackeral. The rig should be tied as described below:
30 - 50lb barrel swivel to haywire twist, 4 inch #6 leader wire, haywire twist to single bait hook (sz. preference), haywire twist 8 inch #6 wire, Hookup jig head 3/16, haywire twist to 3 or 4 hook stinger setup. No picture is provided due to the length of the rig. The small wire and hooks are not noticable when whole rig is in frame.

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
October 8, 2017
We are now seeing increasing numbers of tourists and visiting anglers
arrive in Los Cabos, as the fall season is now underway, in another couple
of weeks things will be crazy busy.. Weather patterns have settled down,
calmer days, though still quite warm and humid due to low pressure systems
forming further to the south, none of this is expected to have any impact
with land, just makes it more humid and tropical, increase in swell
expected over the weekend. The Baja landscape has definitely transformed to
lush green foliage.
The majority of the fleets based out of Puerto Los Cabos Marina are now
fishing the grounds from the Gordo Banks to Iman, San Luis and Vinorama.
Bait options have included sardinas, caballito and slabs of squid. Most
consistent action recently was for yellowfin tuna, drift fishing with
various baits was the main technique and average size yellowfin was in the
6 to 15 lb. class, though these same grounds have produced larger tuna in
the 30 to 100 lb. range, though there were no big numbers of the larger
grade tuna, just mixed in with the smaller fish. Though there is definitely
a chance at hooking into a bigger fish. The largest Yellowfin reported
this week was taken on Friday by Frank Harbin, from Chico, Ca., while
fishing with Gordo Banks Pangas skipper Jesus Pino, the tuna weighed in
after a long three hour battle and having died down deep, then slowly
inched towards the surface. All around the numbers of fish caught increased
this week.
Dorado remained scattered and in limited quantity, most fish were under ten
pounds, only an occasional larger specimen accounted for. A few more wahoo
starting to be seen, most of these came from the San Luis Bank area and
were striking on Rapalas. Sizes ranged 20 to 35 lb. Though still no
significant numbers. Ocean water temperatures now in the 82 to 85 degree
range, when it cools down a few more degrees that usually helps make the
wahoo more active.
Minimal bottom action going on, an occasional red snapper, pargo,
amberjack, leopard grouper or triggerfish. Not a lot of billfish action
going on, but the anglers that did specifically target these, there were a
couple of black marlin landed this past week, other blue and blacks were
seen chasing hooked tuna, so even though these billfish are not being found
in big numbers, they were in the area, just need a lot of patience if
looking to hook into one.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 114 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 2 black marlin, 12 wahoo, 4 rainbow runner, 4
amberjack, 630 yellowfin tuna, 38 dorado, 1 sailfish, 5 yellow snapper, 23
huachinango, 8 cabrilla (leopard grouper), 2 barred pargo and 110
triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
