Tip&Trick Description 1:
Simple Stowage of StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever for more deck Space.
Most pole type lure retrievers are thick, bulky and rigid. StrikeBack is made of 1.5 metre fibreglass rods able to be connected together, each 8 or 10 mm in diameter, depending on the version.
Once you have your StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever at the boat; loctite the first two sections and slide the retriever in the gunwale rail on many aluminium boats, or attach a length of conduit along the inside of the boat. Your StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever is now stowed neatly as it has flexiblity to fit the contour of your the hull. Deck space is valuable, keep it clear. |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
January 31, 2021
With new international travel restrictions now in place we have seen a
noticeable lack of tourists, though Los Cabos resorts are now offering the
required Covid 19 tests easily on site, needed for return trip. So
hopefully this will encourage more people to travel to Southern Baja in the
coming months. Weather followed normal patterns, scattered cloud cover,
though no precipitation this week, winds out of if the north, increased
some over last week, but there are cycles of calmer conditions mixed in,
high temperatures averaging 75 degrees.
Ocean conditions showed improvement from the Gordo Banks and towards San
Luis Bank, water temperatures averaged 70 to 72 degrees and clarity was now
cleaner than the previous week, there were also more signs of baitfish
schools on the same fishing grounds. In the marina area bait vendors are
offering sardinas, some caballito, mackerel and ballyhoo.
There was a lack of anglers though, not much activity for charters now.
Most of the charters have been concentrating on the areas from straight
offshore and north to Gordo and San Luis Banks. The highlight of the week
was a few quality grade yellowfin tuna landed that weighed in the 80 to 100
lb. class. A lot of patience and persistent was needed, because these tuna
were elusive, but at least a few more than previous weeks were accounted
for. Many local skippers who do not have charter work now are giving these
yellowfin a try. It is not always the normal time of year to find these
tuna n these high spots, but every year can vary.
Not much activity reported for billfish, water has been green on the normal
grounds, but we do see conditions improving now, winds were a contributing
factor and then there is also a lack of anglers. A handful of dorado were
found scattered throughout the region, a couple of them over 20 lb.
Limited numbers of sierra now along the shoreline, a mix of various
snappers, pompano, bonito, triggerfish, cabrilla, amberjack, yellowtail
found off of the rocky piles, though wind made this tough many days. We
look forward to some more steady weather and a warming trend, this should
help to improve the all-around action. February can be a very unpredictable
month.
Good fishing, Eric
