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! |

Report Description:
GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
June 18, 2017
It is starting to feel more like summer with each passing week, though the
climate is still very comfortable, high temperature near 90 degrees. Some
scattered tropical clouds now appearing, there was a Tropical Storm Calvin
last week off of the southern Mexican coast, did bring heavy rainfall to
isolated areas, but here in Los Cabos we were not impacted at all from this
system. Ocean swells have been light to moderate, water temperature are
reaching 78 to 80 degrees in the direction of San Jose del Cabo and to the
north, this is also where the clarity of the ocean has been the clearest,
attracting more pelagic gamefish.
Just coming off the full moon phase from last week, conditions are settled
down in the direction of the Sea of Cortez, though the Pacific has had more
wind, with much cooler water temperatures and greener currents, not the
deep blue waters being found north of Punta Gorda. Update on water clarity
turning green after strong south sinds on Friday, this did slow down the
action and now we will wait for conditions to rebound as winds reside.
Bait suppliers are mainly dealing caballito and mullet now, offshore
grounds are seeing more bolito move in and some reports of chihuil also
being present. All around action showed favorable improvement in recent
days, still no huge numbers of any particular species, but always a great
sign when we see billfish, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, dorado and roosterfish
all being found on a daily basis. Most consistent grounds were from the
Iman and San Luis Banks, north to Vinorama, this is where the water is
clean and blue, with lots of baitfish schools present, which in turn means
that the gamefish have more than enough natural food source to gorge
themselves on and are not always hungry and aggressive in striking what
anglers offer.
Yellowfin tuna are scattered throughout offshore grounds, though best
chance at hooking into a 40 to 60 lb. yellowfin was in the vicinity of San
Luis Bank and the bait of choice was either caballito or bolito, either
while drift fishing or slow trolling. Other tuna in the 10 to 25 lb. range
were randomly striking trolled Rapalas, hoochies, yo-yo jigs, etc. Though
the better grade of tuna were striking mainly on the larger live baitfish.
Though these fish were limited in numbers, with anglers very fortunate to
land one or two of them.
.Inshore action is now dominated by roosterfish, with many fish in the 20
to 60 lb. class landed, as well as a handful of even larger fish reported.
A bit sporadic as to where the best action might be found on any given day.
Also mixed in are some jack crevalle to over 25 lb., as well as some late
season sierra, a few nice sized fish close to ten pounds. Not much reported
for inshore dogtooth snapper or amberjack, we are expected this annual bite
to start up anytime, with schooling mullet now found along the shore line,
this attracts larger gamefish.
The highlight of the week has to be the dorado action, after seeing very
few of these popular gamefish for months, this week we finally saw more
significant numbers, especially later in the week around the same San Luis
and Iman Bank areas. Many charters were accounting for three or four dorado
per outing, which would have been unheard of during previous weeks. Sizes
were respectable as well, most of these dorado were in the 10 to 17 lb.
range. These fish were striking best on slow trolled baits, but a
percentage were also taken on lures. Wahoo are becoming more active as
well, with many fish cutting mono leaders used while targeting tuna, some
wahoo to 30 lb. were landed on caballito, as well as trolled Rapalas, many
more wahoo were actually missed than were caught.
The main concentration of striped marlin was found around the 1150 spot
further offshore, though marlin were also encountered near San Luis and
Iman Banks on some days. Also there were a couple of reports of swordfish
sightings further offshore as well.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 77 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 8 striped marlin, 16 wahoo, 68 dorado, 3
amberjack, 5 pompano, 28 bonito, 58 yellowfin tuna, 14 yellow snapper, 12
barred pargo, 15 leopard grouper, 34 huachinango, 18 jack crevalle, 75
roosterfish, 22 sierra and 65 triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
