| Not all fishes lay eggs. |
| Fishes like split fins, surf-perches, and some sharks instead carry and give birth to live young. Scientists have also discovered that the embryos of some of these fishes actually consume each other in the womb. How’s that for creepy fish facts? |

| The Sea Anemone looks like a flower, but it’s actually a carnivorous animal that eats small fish and shrimp. |

| Fishes hear with both their ears and their skeletons, sensing the vibrations of sound in the water. |
| Scientists even suspect that sharks can clearly hear sounds from over 3 km away. |

| 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. |

| Fish have built in radar? |
| Built-in Radar Many species of fish have a powerful sense organ called the lateral line running across their body. It can detect motion in the water, allowing them to hunt prey, avoid predators, and navigate in the dark. |

Looking for the Excalibur (Bill Dance signature series) Fat Free Fry in Crawfish. The lure is 2' long and the body is practicly see thru (with the exception for where the crawfish design and color has been airbrushed) I would like to purchase as many as you have. I will take old, new, it doesn't matter. This is all my boyfriend fishes with and he is almost out of these.
Thanks

Tip&Trick Description 1:
We have been using a Power Drop Shot technique that you may have heard of, and it works great in Heavy Cover, and around docks and wood in rivers and lakes. We just rig a heavy weight of 3/8 to 3/4 of an ounce, and then tie on the bait, such as a Yamamoto 'IKA' tube about 10 inches up the line on a 3/0 Gamakatsu hook, and flip and pitch it right in the same way as a jig or other bait. It stays there longer and has more action. Deadly on in-active fish.

Whew! Hurricane “Lane” Heads East
REPORT #1028 “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
Endless Season Update 09/16/06
East Cape
While the locals continue to clean-up after Hurricane John, “Lane” came bobbing and weaving up the Mexican coast. Fortunately, Friday night its course altered to the East and this morning conditions are cloudy but calm.
Tuna and billfish provided the best action offshore most of the week. Back inshore, as the off color water dissipated, there were more dorado to be found under the debris left in John’s wake.
Beach action is sporadic at best with a few ladyfish found near the hotels providing the best action. With the dirty water along the beach, sight casting is impossible. Your best bet is to look for diving pelicans working the sardina schools from La Ribera to Punta Colorada.

Aside from the large swells from Hurricane Lane down below, the weather has been nice. The large swells prevented most of the boats from going out to Thetis Bank where the marlin and dorado action had been great earlier in the week. Last week the dorado were even found in the Entrada when the water temps reached 80 degrees. Back in the Esteros, the pargo action has slowed down from last week’s bite. Still there was decent grouper action up at Lopez Mateos and of course still a few corvina and plenty of spotted bay bass at Devil’s Curve.

We really do not know how the fishing is right now. Tropical storm Lane formed only 60 miles out in front of us, and the port has been closed for 4 days now.
We do know the blue water has not come in very much from the 20 mile mark where it was pushed out last week by hurricane John.
And, just like Hurricane John, even though the port was closed and we got rain, we did not get any wind at all. However, I have recorded 9.75 inches of rain since this last Monday (the 11th), almost twice the amount of rain we got from John.
Things should start clearing up soon, and we can get back to fishing.
