Starfish do not have blood. Their blood is actually filtered sea water. |

Not all animals with the word fish in their names count as fish. |
Though their names may suggest otherwise, cuttlefish, starfish, and jellyfish aren’t actually fish. Generally-speaking, fishes must have skulls, gills, and fins. Surprisingly, though, not all fishes have proper spines. |

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. |

San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
February 10, 2019
We saw more north winds through most of
the week, calming down for the weekend,
ideal climate now, moderate crowds,
making this a great time to visit the
Los Cabos area. Ocean temperatures
dropped into the 70 to 72 degree range
though most of the region, transition
period for migrating pelagic gamefish,
warmer water species head south during
this colder period.
Offshore action was limited mainly to
looking for striped marlin, action was
better early in the week and became
more scattered as the week progressed.
Schools of mackerel were found off of
the San Jose del Cabo grounds, as well
as sardineta, chihuil and inside the
marina area there were caballito. Some
unconfirmed reports of sardinas being
seen along beach stretches north of
Cabo San Lucas, so we are hoping that
maybe these baitfish will become
available.
With the cooling waters the action for
the more glamorous species such as
yellowfin tuna, dorado and wahoo has
all but halted. Normal deal during this
time frame, besides the on and off
striped marlin action offshore, fleets
start to search out inshore and bottom
structure for a variety of smaller
fish. We are waiting to see if a run of
yellowtail and red snapper develops.
There were red crabs found this week
drifting to the surface on the Gordo
Banks, this is normally a positive sign
for finding the red snapper. So far the
snapper action was mainly for the
smaller sized fish, the huachinango of
over ten pounds have not been plentiful
yet. More triggerfish off the rock
piles than anything else. Drift fishing
with pieces of squid seemed to produce
the more consistent action, most of
these fish smaller in size, but all of
them very fine eating. We saw a few
sheepshead and pompano in the mix.
The weather feels like we are now on a
warming trend, at least we have now
seen the frigid low temperatures as the
week before. We need these north winds
to lay down more and give a chance for
ocean conditions to rebound. Recently
there were strong currents moving in
and out, this always make it tough to
try and concentrate on bottom action.
The combined sportfishing fleet out of
the panga area from Puerto Los Cabos
Marina reported an estimated 59
charters for the week and anglers
reported an approximate fish count of:
1 sailfish, 13 striped marlin, 11
dorado, 2 yellowfin tuna, 92 bonito,
125 red snapper, 4 bagueta, 6 yellow
snapper, 8 pompano, 10 surgeon fish, 8
barred pargo, 3 sheepshead, 8 hog fish,
13 sierra and 85 triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
