Tip&Trick Description 1:
The Castaway
One day this guy, who has been stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years, sees an unusual
speck on the horizon. 'It's certainly not a ship, 'he thinks to himself. As the speck gets closer and closer,
he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft.
Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes this drop-dead gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and
scuba gear. She approaches the stunned guy and says to him, 'Tell me, how long has it been since
you've had a cigarette?' 'Ten years' replies the stunned man. With that, she reaches over and unzips a
waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it and
takes a long drag and says, 'Man oh man! Is that ever good!'
And how long has it been since you've had a sip of bourbon?' she asks him.
Trembling, the castaway replies: 'Ten years!' She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on her
right sleeve pulls out a flask and hands it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig and says, 'Wow,
that's absolutely fantastic!'
At this point, she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs own the front of her wet suit, looks at
him seductively and asks, 'And how long has it been since you've played around?' With tears in his eyes
the guy falls to his knees and says. 'Oh sweet Jesus! Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there too! |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT OCTOBER 25-31, 2004
WEATHER: We are still experiencing the cooling weather as our night time lows have been in the low 70’s and the day time highs have been in the mid 80’s. I love this time of year! This week we had overcast skies and actually experienced a bit of rain as clouds moved through the area. The rain took all the dust off the plants and buildings and really greened up the desert! At the end of the week it cleared up for a couple of days and now it looks like we might have more cloudy days coming at us. That is a good thing, really!
WATER: There was not much change this week in the warm water and cool water borders, just the slight variance you might expect from normal tidal action and currents. There was still a band of warm water just off the shore on the Cortez side and it extended out to the San Jaime Banks on the Pacific side an up the coast there as well. Farther out, at a distance of around 15 miles the water began to cool off a bit and was a little off color. Warm water in the band was in the 84-85 degree range while the coldest water in the area was a seemingly frigid 75 degrees. Surface conditions were great all week as what wind we had was slight and only gave the surface a slight chop on top of the small 2-3 foot swells.
BAIT: The usual $2 per bait and almost all of it was Caballito. There were Sardinas available as well at $20 a scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: There were still some Blue and Black Marlin being hooked up this week and it was not uncommon for boats to have a shot at several Striped Marlin and Sailfish as well. The Black and Blue Marlin seemed to be more concentrated on the Cortez side of the Cape and were found in the warm water band. The Pacific side was holding the Sailfish and the concentrations of Striped Marlin. Good luck was had on the Pacific side from Cabo Falso to the Golden Gate area from 1 mile to 5 miles off the shoreline. Trolled lures in petrelero, blue/pink/silver and green/black worked well for the Blue Marlin, live bait (small tunas) for the Black Marlin and small brightly colored lures and Caballito for the Striped Marlin and Sailfish.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: There was no change in the status of the Yellowfin Tuna this week, the same areas and same conditions as the previous week still held. Almost all the Yellowfin reported this week were caught as bait for the tournament fishermen and by Pangas working the same areas. These areas were just off the light house on the Pacific side, on the ledge there, and just off the beach in 200 feet of water on the Cortez side in front of the Hacienda Del Mar Resort and Gray Rock. Chumming with live Sardines brought up the fish and they were almost all footballs between 8 and 15 pounds. We sure hope that the bigger fish show up this week as we are all looking forward to the Tuna Tournament on Thursday and Friday.
DORADO: Once again fish of the week, smaller lures in bright colors, live Caballito and Sardinas were the keys to getting a cooler full of Dorado, and most boats that were working for them had no problem. I guess the pressure had no effect, unlike my thoughts for last week (I thought that the pressure was less because of the Marlin tournaments) as almost every boat that seriously tried for them was able to get plenty of fish in the box. The fish were concentrated near shore, feeding on the abundant bait on the Pacific side of the Cape. Quite a few fish were found on the Cortez side as well, again near the shore. Any floating object was worth checking out, from dead seals (an amazing number of nice sized Dorado came off of one found inside the Golden Gate Banks) to bits of trash floating in the water, almost everything held a fish or two.
WAHOO: Not quite as many Wahoo were caught as there were last week and it may have to do with the moon phase (or maybe not, I always get in trouble trying to figure these fish out). Still, there were orange flags flying every day so fish were being found. Most of them came while boats were fishing for the Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna, so there was no concentrated effort for them. I am sure that has someone specifically targeted them they would have had success.
INSHORE: Almost every Panga Captain that I talked to this week and every one I saw on the water have been concentrating on the Yellowfin Tuna, Dorado and Wahoo.
NOTES: The next big tournament is the last of the year and there is going to be a large number of boats entered. The Tuna Tournament has been a blast so far every year and I hope this year is the same. This week was a bit of a rest for most of us as there was only one tournament, the “For Pete’s Sake” charity tournament. The fishing has been great, the bookings filling up and I am almost ready for a vacation (don’t I wish!). I decided that this week music would be one of my old standbys, “The Brian Flynn Band” on the special “Cabo” edition. Check him out at http//brianflynnband.com and enjoy the music along with me! Until next week, tight lines!
