| 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? |

| 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. |

Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques
|

Category: California Freshwater Lakes

Tip&Trick Description 1:
My first time fishing Lake Cachuma was this last weekend April 27th 2002 and I will let you in on a secret this is a fine lake with great staff excellent fishing and abundant campsites. I was very impressed with the guys at the marina ( Jim and Allen) for giving us great tips for fishing their lake without holding back any information necessary for a first timer to their lake. Right out of the marina he told me to troll straight thru the center of the lake and we would be sure to get bit and he was right. Less than 10 minutes from the launch ramp right where he suggested we caught the first fish a nice largemouth bass about 3-4 lbs and lost the first hook up as we were surprised to get a strike so soon. This fish jumped clear out of the water and fought like a much larger fish than it actually ended up being. |

Tip&Trick Description 2:
We released the bass and continued anxious to get to the trout which is what we were after. On the way to the next spot Jim and Allen had given us directions to we saw 4 deer on the shore grazing like they owned the place (which I guess they did) We set our sites on the points jetting out along the far side of the lake about 200 feet offshore. Instantly off one of the points both the reels went off as we were trolling rainbow trout colored Yo-zuri Emperor Minnows and L-Jack series lures on 4 and 6 lb test at a fairly slow troll. First fish fell off but I managed to get mine to the boat and into it for supper that evening. We did a turn around and went right back over the same spot and sure enough another missed opportunity. Back we went again with another 2 strikes managing to get one in the boat for a better meal for the 3 of us eating that night. Back and forth again for nothing and we decided to give the opposite bank a try. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
On the other side of the lake were the serious bass guy's fishing the bow of their sleek boats with the chairs and trolling motor on the bow. We steered clear of them and moved again about 200 feet off the shoreline and continued our trolling pattern slow and parallel to shore. We started noticing the wind more and more as we headed back towards the launch ramp noticing there was only one jacket made it to the boat and it was mine! We again managed to get another rainbow to strike right out of the water it jumped and then a small battle and into the boat it came. We were done now 1 fish each for dinner and one released bass in about 2 hours fishing time. Now it was back to camp to make dinner and get warm. A jacket is a good thing to bring on any lake as the wind always decides to blow in the afternoon. I must tell you that the guy's at the marina tackle shop know their stuff about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Without their tips we may have come home empty handed as several others had that day. Good luck if you get a chance to fish Lake Cachuma and be sure to say hello the the great guys at the tackle shop near the launch ramp it may pay off big time for you in the long run.....Fish on! <'))))>< |

“FLY HOOKER” WEEKLY FISH COUNT
Striped Marlin: One tagged and released (#120)
Dorado: One taken (#45)
Yellowfin Tuna: Five taken (10-45#)
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JULY 18, 2003
Peter Simon booked the “Fly Hooker” for today to give a few guys here for a bachelor party a
chance to do some fishing. Peter is a Fly Fisherman (note the capitol letters?) and brought his
own gear just in case he got a chance to get some action on the 10 weight. Unfortunately it did
not work out that he was able to get a chance to use his gear as you really need a target to cast at
in order to do the “normal “ fly fishing. What happened instead was that we pulled a Marlin
popper on the 13 weight rod and ended up hooking a #35 Yellowfin Tuna on the troll. Wait, I’m
getting ahead of myself a bit here. The bachelor party consists of six guys, one of the arriving
today while we were fishing and one of the guys not interested in doing any fishing at all. They
rented a very nice house up in the “Pedregal” for the time here and Mary picked them up this
morning. I went along since Peter wanted a chance to do some fly fishing. Juan and Manuel took
us out for an hour to the South before we put lines in the water and about 45 minutes later we
spotted some Porpoise out on the horizon. We were the first boat there and on the first pass we
hooked up on three trolled lures on regular gear and also on the Marlin popper trolled on the fly
rod. The first two Tuna to the boat were in the 20 pound class, the last one was a good #45 and
gave us a great tussle at the side of the boat. Peter was on the Tuna hooked on the fly rod and it
was about 10 minutes after we got the last fish on conventional gear in the boat that Juan was in
position to get a gaff shot on Peters fish. The fish was just in range when it did a sudden dive
down and forward, and as Manuel tried to adjust the boat, the fish dove. Juan grabbed the rod
and pushed it as far down into the water as possible but the prop on the starboard engine ran
against the fly line and the fish was cut off. We figured that fish at around 20-25 pounds and full
of fight! About that time other boats were arriving in the area but there were no more fish caught
for the next hour. We figured that the school had followed the lost fish into the depths. Late on
while we were heading back Manuel spotted as big turtle on the surface and as we passed the
spot, there were two large Dorado under the turtle. Right away Juan tossed out a live bait and we
did a slow turn around the area. Surprisingly, it was not the live bait that got hit, it was the
Marlin lure in “Mean Joe Green” color, moving at what had to be only two knots, off of the
bridge rod that got hit. This was the Bull and it took about 25 minutes to get the fish to the boat
before Juan was able to get the first gaff shot at the fish The fish struggled at the gaff for a
minute then pulled loose and around two minutes later I was able to get the fish to the side of the
boat for the second gaff shot. This time it took and the 45 pound Dorado was ours! Another
pass on the spot with no results and we continued trolling in. About 10 miles from the Marina at
12:30, we had a Blue Marlin come up on the same lure the Dorado had hit, and this fish took
about 100 yards of line and made one jump before the hook pulled loose. Quite the trip for a
group of four bachelor, and these guys were plenty happy! Thanks guys, and we are hoping you
did not spend too much money tonight while out on the town!
“FLY HOOKER” FISH REPORT FOR JULY 19, 2003
I wish I remembered the names of the couple that fished today, but all I really know is that they
fished yesterday on one of the fleet boats and got nada, zero, zip, and they did not really want to
go another day. After explaining the difference between going out on a fleet boat and a boat
owned by a small business, they decided to give it another try. They were glad they did as they
tagged and released a Striped Marlin of 120 pounds (her first Marlin!) and brought two Yellowfin
Tuna to the boat. It was a long day, but the water was nice and the saw so much sea life that they
thought they were at “Sea World”! Thanks for the business and we were glad to make your trip
one to remember!
