Mar 5, 2009; 05:22PM - Meat Stock Cube Chemical Lure

Tip&Trick Description 1:
MEAT STOCK CUBE CHEMICAL LURE
This started off by being an applied science project in school linked to fishing for predatory species. I am happy for anyone to try it out. It takes some preparation but is worth the experiment. You can use it for river, lake or sea fishing from a bank, beach, pier or boat. Use the strongest line you have for dragging. Have a camera to get evidence of your catch.
First get your meat stock cubes – the red varieties are the best imitation of the fluids that leak from wounded prey. They are much cheaper if bought in the large boxes and cost even less if you can get them put on someone else’s shopping list.
You also need a pair of tights or stockings so ask nicely – particularly if someone is wearing them at the time!
Cut the tights/stockings up into 10cm (4in) squares and put them onto a flat surface.
Take the foil wrapping off of each stock cube being careful not to crumble it and place one centrally onto each square of the tights/stockings.
Tie the four corners of the material together into a firm knot – a test of your dexterity – you may need to use bigger squares at first and trim them up afterwards.
Then tie a length of line inside the knot of each lure bag leaving plenty of spare to attach to the eye on your lure. Store your bags in a waterproof and crushproof container.
When you are ready to fish attach a bag to the eye of your lure making sure that you tie the knot so that a used bag can be easily removed from the eye but cannot slip off during movement underwater. A pair of fine scissors will useful to do the cutting during bag changing. Dispose of used bags and line responsibly please – not into the water or onto the site.
Keep safe – wear a lifejacket if you are fishing on or by deep water. Keep yourself warm and waterproof. Do not fish on your own – it is safer with others. Let someone know where you are going and have a means of contacting him or her.

Fishing is slow. Winter has definitely returned. We experienced strong north winds both yesterday and today. Sierra – the best ceviche – are by the pyramids north of town, accessible from shore early; and still lots of sierra from the lighthouse south to Cabo Pulmo. Natural color flies, white and green, and white grey seem to work best. We can no longer get sardina at Cabo Pulmo. There were some roosterfish at the lighthouse before the wind came, but five-foot surf and dirty cold water has shut off the shore fishing. Offshore fishing was good for small dorado until the wind came. No boats have gone out the last two days.

Marginal weather persisted most of the week causing an uncomfortable ride for yachts traveling through the area. By the end of the week it was clear skies and no wind prevailed. I think the crews were spending more time hanging on than fishing. Water temps definitely cooled down this week. The entrada produced fair-to-good fishing for small yellowtail, leopard grouper and barracuda. The whale count continues to grow each week and both Lopez Mateos and San Carlos are beginning to fill up with eager tourists in search of an up-close and personal experience with a unsuspecting whale. Still little action to report in the esteros from both San Carlos and Lopez Mateos.

I have been reflecting on how we have very calm seas here in Mexico from October through June, compared to what’s happening off the coasts of the U.S. the last few weeks. Plus the fishing is good. Calm seas and good fishing is a hard combination to beat.
The blue water is close and a lot of sailfish are being caught. There are not too many dorado or tuna, but a few blue marlin are starting to show. Client Bob Nelson released his first fly-caught sailfish while fishing with Capt. Martin on the panga “Isamar.” It was the first time he had ever had a flyrod in his hands, and was a little more than impressed about the experience. Also fly-fishing with Capt. Martin for one day was Tom Marshal of Idaho and John Wilkinson of Ohio. They hooked three sails and had raised 8.
Conventional gear fishermen Rick Erdman and his son fished three days on the “Gitana II” with Capt. Adan. They released a total of 12 sailfish.
Capt. Adolpho of the panga “Dos Hermanos,” and his compadre Arturo of the panga “Janneth,” made the 30 mile run to Papanoa for roosters. Normally at this time of the year the roosters start to thin out a bit, but they each hooked at least 8 and 8 jack crevalle. The roosters were averaging about 35 pounds, and the hard-fighting jacks were about 15 pounds. The fish were taken on slow trolled live bait or surface poppers.

The weather has been great, and the fishing action has been picking up all week long. There were very few boats out, but those that did venture out experienced some excellent action on sails. Dorado and Tuna are around, and there have been a lot more tuna on the docks than we have seen in a long time. Inshore no one was out.
