| 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. |

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.’

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 23 TO JUNE 29, 2003
WEATHER: The wind picked up again this week and was from the southwest, giving us almost
nowhere to hide once it started blowing hard at 14-16 knots with gusts to 22 knots. Fortunately
it did not really get going until past noon and everyone was already on the way in. This started on
Tuesday and continued throughout the week. Our nighttime lows were warmer this week, most
evenings it did not drop into the high 70s but stayed in the low 80s. Our daytime highs were in
the mid to high 90s, but cooler offshore. (Now That You Know)
WATER: The winds we have been getting have made for some choppy conditions in the
afternoons on the Sea of Cortez but on the Pacific side it has been choppy all the time. The
beginning of the week had water as warm as 80 degrees out front but as of this morning we were
reading 72 degrees. The wind combined with the increased flow of the California current pushed
the cooler water around the Cape again. Right now you need to go either 30 miles south and get
your butt kicked on the way back in or go 25 miles east to the 1150 area in order to find 78
degree water. (Im Gone)
BAIT: Most of the bait available has been Caballito caught by boats snagging them in the Marina
or Mackerel that they have bought from the bait barge out in front. There have been lots of
Mullet available as well for those seeking Roosterfish inshore. All these baits have been the usual
$2 per bait. (Bailando/Aquatic Park)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Lots of Striped Marlin were spotted early in the week as they packed up at the Cape
getting ready to follow the warm water north. Not many of them were hungry but a few boats
were able to get more than one fish to bite. Most boats just had an experience in futility in getting
these fish to bite. As the cool water moved in the fish moved back up the Sea of Cortez and by
the end of the week the fish were scattered again but the bite was a bit better. A few Blue Marlin
were hooked early in the week, but not many of them were landed and they were not large fish,
most less than 250 pounds. The Striped Marlin bite was best on live bait and the Blues were
striking lures in blue/black and green/black. (Bella)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Good news and bad news here. The good news is that there was a
concentration of fish holding on the 1150 spot this week and there were some nice ones in there.
Fish to 200 pounds were landed and there were quite a few in the 35 pound class as well as a
few in between. The bad news is that it was a late bite and by the time the action had started to
pick up most of the fleet boats had to leave, and the wind started to kick in as well, making it a
rough ride home. The key to success was slow trolling live Mackerel in among the Porpoise and
then being in the right place at the right time. Many boats were skunked but a few were coming
up with some nice fish. There was also action 25 miles to the south of the Marina on football
Tuna in among Porpoise, and these fish were running 20-25 pounds. As normal, the early boats
to the fish got the best action. feathers and Cedar plugs were working well on these fish.
(Deeper, Dig Deeper)
DORADO: The fish were scattered for the most part. Some nice fish were found in among the
Tuna at the 1150, some more nice ones were found from Punta Ballena to San Jose out to a
distance of three miles. Pangas fishing off the beach for Roosterfish were picking up one or two
smaller fish, most of them less than 15 pounds in size. (Trane)
WAHOO: There were a few nice fish found this week and almost all the action was within three
miles of the beach on the Sea of Cortez side. Not all fish were getting hits but I saw fish to 100
pounds and quite a few in the 40-50 pound class as well. Best lures were dark colored 9 straight
runners, and a few lucky fishermen caught Wahoo on slow trolled live bait. (Mingus)
NEARSHORE: Roosterfishing was just starting to take off great at the beginning of the week
with quite a few fish in the 30-50 pound class being found on the Pacific side of the Cape, up
around the Sunset Beach area to the lighthouse. The cool water moved in and the bite dropped
off a bit. The fish were still there later in the week, but were not biting as well. Some nice sized
Sierra were being caught in the same area, and there were also some big Jack Crevalle cruising the
beach. On the Sea of Cortez side the bite was on for big Sierra in the vicinity of the Hacienda Del
Mar Resort, a lot of large 10 pound Sierra were found there. With the wind kicking up the way it
did, not a lot of bottom fishing was going on, but a few boats were hooking up with some large
grouper on live baits dropped on rockpiles in 150-200 feet of water. (Hannibal)
NOTES: With the ebb and flow of the cold water across our area, I just dont know what to
expect anymore. I just postponed two days of charter clients we had early this coming week until
later in the week, hoping that the weather lays down and the fishing picks up. There are good fish
out there but timing is everything, and since I like repeat clients we decided to wait a few days.
Lets see what happens! This weeks report was written to one of the best albums ever put out by
Carlos Santana, his Blues For Salvador album, released in 1987 by CBS/Columbia Records.
My favorite cut on the album is the live 1983 take of Now That You Know. Listen and enjoy,
and until next week, I hope you have Tight Lines!
