|
| 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. |

| Even Catfish are finicky |
| 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. |

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 JULY 4-10, 2005
WEATHER: Clear skies at the end of the week were welcome after expecting cloud cover from the disturbance and tropical storm that had starting developing down around Acapulco. We had expected to get a heavy cloud deck as it worked its way up the west coast. Didn’t happen and we are glad! What did occur was glassy water during the middle of the week and then the winds picked up again on Friday, continuing through out the weekend, but as I said, clear skies. Day time highs were in the mid 90’s and night time lows in the mid 70’s.
WATER: At the beginning of the week the water on the Pacific side turned very choppy, then calmed at the middle of the week. At the end of the week it had chopped up again. It looked as if the California current started to push hard and brought the cool water to wrap around the point again as the water was in the high 60’s to low 70’s on the Pacific side out to the banks, and green as well. This water wrapped around the Cape and continued up to just short of the Gordo banks and out to a distance of 20 miles. Outside of this cold plume the water was 76-78 degrees and blued up again, but was choppy.
BAIT: Caballito and Mackerel at $2 per bait with a few Mullet in the mix.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The cold water on the Pacific side brought in reports of Swordfish and a Panga was reported to have caught one weighing at just around 160 pounds. Striped Marlin were out there but it was 25 miles before you got into any serious action. Fish were found closer to the Cape, as close as 6 miles, but there was nothing steady or consistent about them. I did not hear of any large Blue or Black Marlin in our area this week, but I am going off of reports from other Captains and anglers received over the last 1 ½ days as I just returned from a boat delivery to Puerto Vallarta.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: I did not hear of any large Tuna this week, but then again I was gone for most of the week. The fish I did see come in this weekend were all smaller fish in the football and school category. I heard a rumor (that’s all it was!) that there were big fish found at the Gorda Banks, but talked to no one who could give me any solid information on that. The football and school fish were found 25-35 miles to the south-southwest, right around where there was a temperature break from 72 to 74 degrees.
DORADO: Apparently you needed to go up the Sea of Cortez, chasing the warmer water for the Dorado this week. The cold water chased them out and few fish were found close to home.
WAHOO: I can give you very little information on the Wahoo bite. I did see a few flags flying this week end but did not get a chance to talk to the Captains or anglers flying them.
INSHORE: A good solid discussion with a much respected Panga Captain revealed that the bite had been off this week, as well as his bookings. During a trip for food, with a diving friend on board, they were able to get into some very good Pargo action on the Pacific side and catch a few Roosterfish as well. The comment was that most of the boats were not going far enough up the coast, most of the fish were found up around Migrainos.
NOTES: Fingers are crossed that the cold water goes away and the winds die down. It’s not terrible, but who wants to run for 25 miles and get bounced around to get into the fish? We were just getting some great action going when I left for Vallarta and maybe it will turn around quickly! Meanwhile this report was written to the music of “Arcano”, the brother/sister duo of Erika and Vick del Real Alvarado, with violin and viola. I heard them at the square doing a public show in Vallarta and bought one of the three releases they had for sale. Classical and covers of easy listening music, great stuff! By the way, Russ, thanks for the across the board comp at the Four Seasons resort course at Punta Mita, totally awesome experience! Until next week, tight lines!
