Tip&Trick Description 1:
The Castaway
One day this guy, who has been stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years, sees an unusual
speck on the horizon. 'It's certainly not a ship, 'he thinks to himself. As the speck gets closer and closer,
he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft.
Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes this drop-dead gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and
scuba gear. She approaches the stunned guy and says to him, 'Tell me, how long has it been since
you've had a cigarette?' 'Ten years' replies the stunned man. With that, she reaches over and unzips a
waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it and
takes a long drag and says, 'Man oh man! Is that ever good!'
And how long has it been since you've had a sip of bourbon?' she asks him.
Trembling, the castaway replies: 'Ten years!' She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on her
right sleeve pulls out a flask and hands it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig and says, 'Wow,
that's absolutely fantastic!'
At this point, she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs own the front of her wet suit, looks at
him seductively and asks, 'And how long has it been since you've played around?' With tears in his eyes
the guy falls to his knees and says. 'Oh sweet Jesus! Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there too! |

Anglers –
September 1, 2019
Since the passing of Tropical Storm IVO
last week, where the Los Cabos
region did receive some much needed
rainfall without too high of wind,
weather patterns have been stable,
though just now there is a new T S
Juliette brewing to the southwest, this
system is forecast to follow a path
further away from the Baja Peninsula
new storms developing at this time.
The next three weeks is historically
the time frame with the highest chance
of hurricanes striking Southern Baja,
so we are all hoping that this year
we do not have any disasters. We have
felt a very slight cooling early
morning, but days have been warm and
humid with heat index over 100 degrees.
Starting last weekend there was decent
action for yellowfin tuna up to 100
lb. on the Iman Bank. Through this week
the bite became more sporadic, lots
of boat pressure on this one area since
this has been location where the
best chances of catching nice fish has
been. Boats from as far away as the
East Cape are making the long run south
to fish these same grounds. Drift
fishing with strips of squid was the
main deal, some limited availability
of sardinas, the tuna also were hitting
on the live caballito. Anglers were
feeling fortunate to land just one
yellowfin, a handful had as many as
three, and average size were 35 to 60
lb. anglers had better success using
leader material of 50 to 60 lb., many
of the larger tuna were lost after
extended battles. Also one black marlin
estimated to be well over 400 lb.
was battled for over three hours before
finally being lost due to lighter
leader.
Dorado were found a little closer to
shore than were the tuna, off of
Cardon, La Fortuna, Punta Gorda, many
juvenile sized dorado in the area,
had to search to find any over 10 lb.
Overall numbers of dorado were down
from previous weeks. Wahoo are in the
area, as they were seen free swimming
and feeding in the chum, though these
fish proved finicky and only a few
were actually landed, these fish can
become sluggish when water temperature
are over 80 degrees.
Off the bottom there was limited action
for yellow snapper, red snapper,
cabrilla, amberjack and triggerfish,
more snapper on yo-yo jigs early in
the day, after that tough pickings.
Only a few roosterfish found trolling
closer to shore, smaller sized, mixed
in was an occasional jack crevalle,
not much inshore trolling this time of
year.
Billfish action also slowed down, more
smaller sized striped marlin, a
couple of larger black marlin that were
lost after long battles. Weather is
looking good for the time being, slight
swells, warm blue water with lots
of baitfish in the area so we are
optimistic that reports will improve
soon.
*T*he combined sportfishing fleet
launching out of the panga area from
Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out an
estimated 62 charters for the week and
anglers reported an approximate fish
count of: 5 striped marlin, 3 blue
marlin, 185 dorado, 3 wahoo, 70
yellowfin tuna, 6 leopard grouper, 26
Mexican bonito, 14 yellow snapper, 4
barred pargo, 1 amberjack, 2 dogtooth
snapper, 3 roosterfish, 5 jack crevalle
and 38 triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
