|
| Not all fishes lay eggs. |
| Fishes like split fins, surf-perches, and some sharks instead carry and give birth to live young. Scientists have also discovered that the embryos of some of these fishes actually consume each other in the womb. How’s that for creepy fish facts? |

| The Sea Anemone looks like a flower, but it’s actually a carnivorous animal that eats small fish and shrimp. |

|
| Fishes hear with both their ears and their skeletons, sensing the vibrations of sound in the water. |
| Scientists even suspect that sharks can clearly hear sounds from over 3 km away. |

| In three decades, the world's oceans will contain more discarded plastic than fish when measured by weight, researchers say. |

| Even Catfish are finicky |
| Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

| Fish have built in radar? |
| Built-in Radar Many species of fish have a powerful sense organ called the lateral line running across their body. It can detect motion in the water, allowing them to hunt prey, avoid predators, and navigate in the dark. |

Jan 4, 2004; 08:18PM - Power Drop -Shot Tactic

Tip&Trick Description 1:
We have been using a Power Drop Shot technique that you may have heard of, and it works great in Heavy Cover, and around docks and wood in rivers and lakes. We just rig a heavy weight of 3/8 to 3/4 of an ounce, and then tie on the bait, such as a Yamamoto 'IKA' tube about 10 inches up the line on a 3/0 Gamakatsu hook, and flip and pitch it right in the same way as a jig or other bait. It stays there longer and has more action. Deadly on in-active fish.

CABO FISH REPORT FOR OCTOBER 19 TO OCTOBER 26, 2003
WEATHER: The week started out sunny and warm and ended up cloudy and warm.
An overcast moved into the area on Friday afternoon giving us a relief from the glare on
the water we had early in the week. Our daytime highs were in the mid 90’s and at
night we did have as low as 74 degrees. The breezes were slight to non-existent until
Friday afternoon and then we cooled off a bit as the winds blew from the west at 5-10
knots. (Swinging Doors)
WATER: Again, the only significant temperature break in fishing distance for us has
been out past the San Jaime and Golden Gate banks on the west side. There the
water changes as much as three degrees over a few miles and the water is blue with a
touch of green. On the Sea of Cortez side the water has been much warmer, as high
as 89 degrees in a few areas such as the 1150 spot. The water has been cobalt blue
but way to warm for good fishing with little sign of surface activity such as porpoise or
flying fish. Surface conditions on both sides of the Cape have been great, with just
slight swell and a good ripple from the light breeze. (Mama Tried)
BAIT: This week there was no problem getting bait, and for a change there were
Sardinas available as well. The bigger baits were Caballito and were the normal $2 per
bait while the Sardinas were going for $20 a bucket. Many of the boats fishing the
tournaments this week were catching their own live bait early in the morning at sun-up
just off the lighthouse on the Pacific side. The baits were Skipjack Tuna, Blackfin Tuna
and a few Frigate Mackerel. These fish were biting on Sardinas after you had
chummed for a while and the bigger baits were caught on diamond jigs. (I’m A
Lonesome Fugitive)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Well, it took a while but the Blue Marlin finally made a showing on the last
day of the Bisbee tournament with 4 fish over the #300 minimum boated and weighed.
There were a lot more Striped Marlin caught and released and almost all of the action
took place on the Pacific side of the Cape. The San Jaime area and inside between
there, the Golden Gate and off the Lighthouse provided most of the fish. Live bait
accounted for many of the Striped Marlin but almost every big Blue Marlin fell to a
trolled lure. The big fish for the tournament was #565. The lighter colored lures
seemed to do better on the Blue Marlin with two qualifying fish on the first day both
falling for lures with lots of orange and the pattern was followed on the third day. On
the second day no qualifying fish were brought in. (I Think I’ll Just Stay Here And
Drink)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Tuna fishing was slow again this week with the fish mostly being
found far offshore. Of course it is the new moon and the Tuna bite is normally slow
during this moon phase anyway. Those boats willing to make the run sometimes found
the fish and often did not, but when they did the action was good on fish ranging from
20 to 60 pounds. A few fish in the #150 class were caught as well and they fell for live
bait pulled in front of the Porpoise. The smaller fish were eating cedar plugs and dark
feathers, the normal call for the football and school fish. A few pods of Porpoise were
found nearer to Cabo but they were worked very heavily. Sometimes Sardines were
the key here as the fish would be shy on anything larger and the Sardinas when used
both as chum and as a fly-lined bait brought the fish up and biting. (Branded Man)
DORADO: Even with a few good pieces of floating debris around the Dorado were
slow this week. We spotted and fished a large number of logs with only one of them
having any fish around, and then there were just two. Inshore seemed to be where the
action was on the Dorado and the Pacific side had more fish. Slow trolled live bait
within a mile of the beach produced fish to 50 pounds with a few boats getting three or
four in that size range. The rest of the time the Dorado were found while trolling lures
and getting blind strikes. (My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers)
WAHOO: To give you an idea, day three of the tournament, when the fishing was
better, produced only three Wahoo for 160 boats. (The Bottle Let Me Down)
INSHORE: Nearshore the action was predictable on the Skipjack, Bonita and Jack
Crevalle. There were Roosterfish in the 25 pound class found on the Pacific side as
well and there were a few Sierra caught. Many anglers when fishing early in the
morning were hooking into some nice Red Snapper in 60 feet of water around the
points while using Sardinas fished about 5 feet off the bottom. (Workin’ Man Blues)
NOTES: The Black and Blue Tournament is over. Day one had only two fish over the
minimum qualifying weight of #300 brought in. The biggest was 412 pounds and took
home around $330,000. Day two resulted in no qualifying fish so the money rolled over
into day three. On the third day the biggest qualifier was #565 and was worth over
$1,000,000, taking the money for the second and third day jackpots and the biggest fish
award as well. There were few fish caught until the last day when the bite happened at
the afternoon tide change. Next tournament coming up is the “For Pete’s Sake” charity
tournament, then the “W.O.N. Tuna Tournament” in November. This weeks report was
written to the country music of the great Merle Haggard on the C.D. “The Platinum
Collection” released by Direct Source in 2002. Thanks for the music Dad! Until next
week, Tight Lines!
