Not all animals with the word fish in their names count as fish. |
Though their names may suggest otherwise, cuttlefish, starfish, and jellyfish aren’t actually fish. Generally-speaking, fishes must have skulls, gills, and fins. Surprisingly, though, not all fishes have proper spines. |

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. |

Anglers –
August 11, 2019
Typical moderate numbers of tourists
now arriving in the heat of the
summer, braving the warm humid climate.
Tropical conditions, highs of about
90 degrees, though feels more like a
100 degrees when calculating the heat
index. A relatively quiet week for
Eastern Pacific tropical storm
activity,
there are several low pressure area
developing at this time, the forecast
appears to have these systems drifting
off to the west, away from any
contact with land. The next six weeks
are historically the time when storms
can strike this region. Water
temperatures have recently ranged from
77 to
83 degrees, there have been two meter
swells and some south winds later in
the day, but the overall ocean
conditions have been favorable for
anglers,
with clean blue water now being found
close to shore.
For the past week the local panga bait
netters have been working the surf
zone just to the north of the Puerto
Los Cabos Marina jetty, finding good
sized schools of sardinas, but they
were having to work hard, other options
were caballito, slabs of squid and
ballyhoo.
Starting on Monday the yellowfin tuna
finally decided to bite, this action
was on the grounds from La Fortuna,
Twenty-Five Spot, to Iman Bank. These
yellowfin were ranging in sizes
averaging 30 to 65 lb., though we did
hear
of one tuna of about 100 lb. being
landed Friday. Some charters had as
many
as four tuna, others felt fortunate
with just one, but at least these tuna
were becoming more active. The fish
were hitting on sardinas, squid and
some on chunk bait from skipjack or
bolito.
Dorado action was wide open on these
same grounds, often not giving the
tuna a chance to even get to any baits.
Problem was that most of these
dorado have been very small, but
occasionally some larger fish were
mixed
in, the key is to release the smaller
dorado with care and try to fill your
personal limit with a couple of nicer
sized fish. Offshore, on the marlin
grounds there has been a better chance
of finding large bull dorado, fish
to over 40 lb., though not many
numbers, just a few scattered nicer
quality
fish.
Marlin bite was sporadic, but at this
time there can be opportunities for
sailfish, striped, blue and black
marlin. There was one black caught from
a
panga this week, weighed in the 400 lb.
range. Several blue marlin were
also reported, a handful of out of
season striped marlin, as well as a
couple of sailfish.
No wahoo to speak of, surface action
now mainly being for dorado, tuna or
billfish. Bottom action produced more
triggerfish than anything else, a few
yellow snapper, bonito, island jack and
leopard grouper. Though more
anglers were targeting the dorado and
tuna at this time. Along the shore
there were a few roosterfish still
hanging around, as well as jack
crevalle, though with increased surf
activity this season is now winding
down.
*T*he combined sportfishing fleet
launching out of the panga area from
Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out an
estimated 69 charters for the week and
anglers reported an approximate fish
count of: 2 sailfish, 1 black marlin,
4 striped marlin, 4 blue marlin, 450
dorado, 52 yellowfin tuna, 8 leopard
grouper, 45 Mexican bonito, 14 yellow
snapper, 1 island jack, 3 amberjack,
8 roosterfish, 6 jack crevalle and 38
triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
