| When Anglerfish mate, they melt into each other and share their bodies forever. |
|
|
|
| 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. |
|
|
| In three decades, the world's oceans will contain more discarded plastic than fish when measured by weight, researchers say. |

|
|
| As of 2020, there were 34,000 known fish species around world. That’s more than the number of species in all other vertebrates: birds, reptiles, mammals, and amphibians combined. |

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Here’s a fishing story.
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation
took place:
First guy:
’You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this
weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the
house next weekend.’
Second guy:
’That is nothing, I had to promise my wiife that I will build her a new
deck for the pool.’
Third guy:
’Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will
remodel the kitchen for her.’
They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not
said a word. So they asked him.!
’You haven’t said anything about what you had to do to be able to come
fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?’
Fourth guy:
’I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm,
gave the wife a nudge and said, ’Fishing or Sex’ and she said, ’Wear a
sweater.’

Description 1:
When only the best will do! A perfect fit: measured, tucked, darted and approved by Hurricane's own pattern and design craftsman. Vulnerable wear and stress points are double reinforced with an extra tough material sewn to the underside of the cover. An unbreakable 1/4' poly draw rope sewn with the perimeter hem enables the cover to be cinched tight to the hull. 1' poly loops are sewn around the perimeter of the cover to accept a Hurricane strap/buckle tie down kit, bungee cords, or rope ties for positive securing to the boat. Built tough to take the exposure and abuse that boat covers are exposed to when trailering, storing, or mooring.

Cabo Fish Report
July 9-15, 2012
WEATHER: Warm, humid and at least for the first part of the week, very sunny! In the middle of the week we started to get some cloud cover and a bit of localized wind, and at the end of the week we had pretty solid cloud cover on Saturday and some gusty winds. Hurricane Fabio is passing 600 miles to the southwest so I don't think any of this if from that far away. Our lows in the mornings have been in the low to mid 80's and the highs for the days right around 100 degrees.
WATER: Still nice and warm out there, it's nice to see! I think the summer water is here to stay! In front of Cabo it is 83 degrees and fairly clean, up toward the east cape area it warms to 87 degrees in some places. If you travel 35 miles to the west you can find water that is as cool as 80 degrees. The water on the Pacific side is not quite as clean as that on the Cortez side, but it will clean up eventually. The only concern I have for the end of the week and the start of next week is the storm swells we have started to get. The shoreline is covered by wrack (foam) due to the swells pounding the beach, some of them at 4-8 feet. The good thing is that they are storm swells and spaced well apart.
BAIT: Caballito and Mullet were available at the normal $3 per bait and there were plenty of green Jacks if you wanted them. The swells kept the bait guys from getting sardines at the end of the week.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Striped Marlin, Blue Marlin and Sailfish were the billfish caught this week. I did not hear of any Black Marlin, but it is possible that there were a few. Most of the fish have been found offshore 8 to 20 miles. The 1150 and 95 spot have been the best for the Striped Marlin while off of the Cabrillo Seamount and the Gorda Banks some Blue Marlin have been hooked up. The Sailfish have been pretty much everywhere in small pods, anglers are reporting gangs of three to four fish appearing in the spreads set for Blue Marlin. Since it is hard to hook them on the big lures, and difficult to get a decent fight from them on the heavy gear, almost all the boats are carrying smaller gear to pitch live baits with.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: We finally had some decent fish to 50 pounds show up close to home this week, not in any big numbers though. Between 8 and 20 miles offshore they have been showing up in pods of Dolphin, and while most of the fish are smaller ones in the 10-20 pound range, double hook-ups on the larger fish are always possible. The better sized fish seem to be eating well away from the boat, so trolling a lure or bait a half-spool back, or off a kite, has worked well. Dropping back a live bait as soon as a fish is hooked up has also produced some larger tuna.
DORADO: I hope that they are here to stay because the Dorado have arrived. Still no guarantee of a limit of two for everyone on the boat, but pretty close if you are targeting them. And, there have been some very nice sized fish, to 45-50 pounds! Yum! Oh, and they fight pretty darn well too! Look for anything floating on the water, including turtles, they sometimes have Dorado under them, just don't pull your lures so close that you hook the turtle. Finding diving, swooping frigate birds is also an excellent way to put some of these great eating fish in the cooler. Leaving the first fish you hook up in the water for a few minutes often results in other Dorado coming in to follow it, giving you a chance at multiple fish.
WAHOO: I did not hear of any Wahoo this week.
INSHORE: Sierra action this week was decent inshore, but not great, and there was good action on a mix of bottom fish from snapper to grouper to trigger-fish. A few Yellowtail on the Pacific side, but no large ones that I heard of, some decent Amberjack action and good numbers or Roosterfish all along the shoreline on the Cortez side.
FISH RECIPE: Check the blog for this weeks recipe!
NOTES: Led Zeppelin and Brian Flynn, my music choices for the week. I listened to both last night as Brian played a bit of Zeppelin at Beso's, a great show! I thought our pup, Tawny was watching Brian play, but it turned out she had her eye on his leftover burger sitting next to him! We are not expecting any weather from the passing storms, but we will be getting swells. With the water warming up like this we will be keeping our eye out for any further development to the south. Until next week, enjoy your summer and get some fishing in! Tight lines!
