| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

| If we’re going to be strict about it, jellyfish and starfish are not really fish because they don’t have a backbone. As a correction, many public aquariums are now using the terms “sea jellies” and “sea stars”. |

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.

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MARCH 14-20, 2005
WEATHER: The winds that we started the week with disappeared mid-week and as of now the weather is great! No clouds to speak of, daytime in the high 70s and night time in the low 60s, just about perfect. No rain this week, wow, two weeks in a row, maybe we are getting back to normal?
WATER: As the wind disappeared so did the choppy conditions that we began the week with. There are still some decent swells on the Pacific side, and occasionally a wind line, but there is almost pool-table like conditions on the Cortez side of the Cape. Green water close to shore and extending out 15 miles in places on the Pacific side, almost to the San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks and it was in the 66-67 degree range, warmer at the end of the week. Once past the cool green water the temperature rose to hit 72 degrees and the water became blue. The cool water wrapped around the Cape in a band that extended north up the Sea of Cortez almost all the way up the East Cape, getting warmer as it went. This band was 15 miles wide as well, with the warmer waters well past the 95 spot and the 1150. At the end of the week the cool water band was getting pinched off at the tip of the Cape as an eddy of warm water pushed our way.
BAIT: The normal $2 per bait for the bait of the month, Pacific Mackerel, and there were some small Caballito in the mix. The bait guys were saying that it has been hard to get any good bait this week.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Marlin continue to be shy and most seem to have taken a vacation. There were a few caught this week but I would have to say that the success rate was around 20-25 percent. Most of the fish caught were on live bait dropped back to Marlin appearing in the lure pattern, but the fish that did come in were often hungry enough that they got hooked on the lure before a bait reached them. Quite a few of the Marlin have been found mixed in with the Porpoise and Tuna and most of the action was due south or on the Cortez side of the Cape.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Once again the fish of the week, there still have not been a lot of big ones caught. Watching the fish landed and listening to the reports on the radio it seems that the larger fish are pushing 40 pounds while the averages are around 10-15 pounds. They have been found with Porpoise and without Porpoise. Around the San Jaime Banks there were fish caught on blind strikes right along the edges of the drops, elsewhere Porpoise were the key. We metered good fish almost every day when we found the Porpoise, but they have been shy and have been staying 150 feet down. Dropping live bait on them worked if you were able to get the line of travel guessed correctly.
DORADO: What a change from last week! I almost decided to call the Dorado the fish of the week, but while the action was hot, it died off a bit at the tail end. The thing that changed so much from last week was the appearance of scattered clumps of kelp brought to us on the currents from the northern Baja. Anything larger than a single strand seemed to hold fish and the first boats to the kelp really loaded up. Live bait worked well and after the fish became scattered, tossing chunks out brought them together again. The fish ranged from 6-20 pounds.
WAHOO: There were a few Wahoo caught this week, and they were associated with the kelp as well. Most of the fish were 20-25 pounds and there were not very many of them.
INSHORE: Inshore fishing continues to be a bit confusing. There are still plenty of Sierra around but the schools have been moving around a lot. The Yellowtail bite that we expected to have started by now just hasnt happened yet. With the calming of the seas the chance to bottom fish has improved and that has shown in the inshore catches as more Pargo and Grouper, as well as Amberjack and Jack Crevalle were landed.
NOTES: The Whales are beginning to move back north and we are seeing fewer every trip. It is spring break and the town and beaches are filled with students. I was feeling a bit funky today and listened to a bit of jazz while writing this report. I was tapping my toes instead of my fingers on the keyboard, maybe that is one of the reasons this report is a bit brief! Check out (if you can find it) the 1963 Polygram release called Jazz Samba with Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd. Until next week, Tight Lines!
