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! |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
September 15, 2013
Anglers –
Local weather has settled down this past week, this has given the area a
chance to dry out after all of the recent rainfall. The desert landscape
has transformed to a lush green color, days remain warm, with scattered
tropical cloud cover and high humidity. With each passing day we are
starting to feel a hint of fall in the air, particularly early morning.
There is now a low pressure system developing off of the Southern Mexico
mainland coast and we will be monitoring its progress closely, as this is
the time when the local environment is favorable for tropical storms to
form rapidly.
Crowds of tourists are light now, this is the time when family priorities
shift towards starting the new school year. It will be soon enough when the
busy fall fishing season is in full swing. For the anglers that are making
the trip they have enjoyed great fishing action in recent days. Most
consistent bite has been found on the areas north of Punta Gorda, from La
Fortuna to San Luis Bank, for yellowfin tuna and dorado. Ocean current has
been swift from the south, this has made any bottom fishing that much more
difficult. Water temperatures are in the 84 to 87 degree range, clear blue
conditions are found within a couple of miles from shore.
Squid has been the best bait for the yellowfin tuna, the giant squid are
being jigging up by the commercial fleet in dark hours and sold to charter
boats in the morning, there are also limited supplies of caballito, still
no sardinas available. Drift fishing with strips of squid on light tackle
has been the best bet for catching limits of yellowfin tuna, the fish were
now larger than in previous weeks, averaging 15 to 20 pounds. The larger
cow sized tuna that were starting to show up on the Gordo Banks have not
been active this past week, though surely they are still in the area, we
expect these cows to become more active soon.
Dorado schools have been spread throughout the area, found by trolling
lures and baitfish. The majority of the fish have been smaller sized,
though with patience anglers have been able to find some larger sized
dorado mixed in. Limit on these fish is two per license and the inspectors
are enforcing these regulations. Only a few wahoo being accounted for, they
become sluggish in the warmer water, we expect that these speedsters will
become more active as fall conditions transition in the coming weeks.
Billfish have slowed this past week out of San Jose del Cabo, only
scattered reports of mostly smaller sized striped marlin, surely there are
black and blue marlin lurking on the grounds, they just are not readily
striking lately, the way the conditions are anything could happen on any
given day.
No inshore action being reported, bottom action was limited to a handful of
amberjack, pargo and grouper, though no numbers to speak of, though a few
impressive fish were accounted for, amberjack up to 78 lb. and one grouper
over 100 pounds landed by a La Playita commercial pangero, current has been
relentless, hard to effectively drift fish the bottom structure when moving
so fast.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 75 charters this past week with anglers
accounting for a fish count of: 3 striped marlin, 8 wahoo, 5 amberjack, 2
grouper, 16 red snapper, 300 black skipjack, 415 yellowfin tuna and 550
dorado (many released).
Good fishing, Eric
