| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

| If we’re going to be strict about it, jellyfish and starfish are not really fish because they don’t have a backbone. As a correction, many public aquariums are now using the terms “sea jellies” and “sea stars”. |

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JANUARY 27-FEBRUARY
2, 2003
WEATHER: Most of this past week was partly to
mostly cloudy. The exceptions were the first
and last day! A lot of people found out that you
can still get sunburned in an overcast. Our
nighttime lows were in the low 60�s and the
daytime highs were in the high 80�s on our sunny
days and the mid 80�s on the overcast days. With
all the overcast we still had no rain, but that is
normal here in Cabo this time of year. (Part Two)
WATER: The Pacific side had some swells this week,
but they were spaced far apart and there
was little if any wind, so there was no chop, just
light wind riffles for most of the time. The
Cortez side of the Cape was almost like glass this
week. Most of the water around the Cape has
been in the low 70�s but about 35 miles to the
southeast there has been warm spot. Earlier in the
week there was a band of warm water around 15 miles
offshore on the Cortez side but that has
been pushed up to the northeast by cooler Pacific
water. (Available Space)
BAIT: Mostly Mackerel this week but there are a
few Caballito showing up in the bait tanks.
The normal $2 per bait. A few bait boats up in the
Chileno bay area have been selling Sardinas at
$20 a scoop. (Side One Suite)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: There have been Marlin everywhere this
week and in no particular concentrations.
Both he Pacific side and the Cortez side were
delivering at least one or two shots a day and most
boats were coming in flying multiple Marlin flags.
Live bait, either slow trolled or dropped deep.
have been steady producers, and when tossed at fish
sighted on the surface have gotten good
responses as well. Lures have also worked well,
but not quite as well as the live bait. The old
reliables such as Mean Joe Green, Purple/Black and
Petrolero have been the top colors for the
lures. Most of the fish have been averaging #100
with a few over the #150 mark. (Perforated
Sleep)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: I saw a lot of nice fish brought
in this week. There were a lot of Yellowfin
over #100 and a few that broke the #200 mark.
While you always remember the large fish, most
of the Yellowfin caught were smaller football and
school fish. The footballs averaged 10-20
pounds and made up the preponderance of the fleets
catch but there were a lot of boats getting
into the school fish of 35-60 pounds. All the fish
were found mixed in with Porpoise and they
were scattered, with no steady, reliable locations
except for the current line 15 miles to the south.
The best lures in order of production were deep
running plugs such as Marauders and Bonitos,
cedar plugs and feathers. A few of the larger fish
were caught on live bait. (Strange)
DORADO: Most of the boats were able to find a fish
or two this week, but the concentrations
just were not there for large numbers of fish.
Most of the Dorado that were caught were found
mixed in with the Tuna and the averaged #20-#25.
Several boats did find floating debris and
loaded up on nice fish in the #30 class, but for
everyone else, they were lucky to get one or two
fish a day. As with the Tuna, the Dorado were
scattered around with no specific areas producing
better than others. (Little Shoes)
WAHOO: There were a few nice fish in the #50 class
brought in this week but except for the
report of one private boat catching an even dozen
Wahoo off of a piece of debris (no idea where,
and this is an unconfirmed report) there was no
steady bite. The Wahoo that I know of were
caught at the Banks while the boats were working
for Tuna. There were other strikes but they bit
through the mono leader used on the Tuna lures.
(Jib�s Hat)
INSHORE: A few Roosterfish as well as a scattering
of Sierra, Snapper and Grouper made up
the inshore catch this week. No large amounts of
any of these fish were found, and with the
number of Tuna just offshore and Marlin in close,
combined with the great water conditions,
many of the Pangas that would normally be fishing
the beach were found up to 15 miles out.
(Agile N.)
NOTES: The fishing has been great this past week
and we are also finding Whales, Porpoise and
Turtles on every trip. The only thing that has
been making me sad is seeing all the Marlin brought
in to be hung for pictures. There is no need to
kill the fish, no one needs the skin for a mount
anymore, it�s all fiberglass nowadays. If you
want a picture, get one of the fish beside the
boat!
A lot of the crews tell the clients that they need
the fish to feed the family. Maybe if you tell
them
that if they kill a Marlin then they can consider
that their tip, they might change their mind, then
again, maybe not.....This weeks report was written
to the sound of Leo Kottke on his 1981
Chrysalis release �Guitar Music�.
