Imagine the opportunity to catch six different species of gamefish while being pampered at a remote island lodge in Northern Ontario, Canada. Red Pine Wilderness Lodge is that place. As hosts for the last 21 years my wife Janice and I have accommodated many satisfied guests from North America and some as far away as Singapore. Although Walleye is the most popular target, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass Whitefish, Perch and Brook Trout are all available on the 28 miles of Lady Evelyn Lake or the portage lakes that we feature. Check out all the details at www.redpinelodge.com or call the toll-free number to book your next all-inclusive fishing adventure.

Aug 9, 2023; 11:24PM - Interesting fish hook find

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Was shark meat a part of the cuisine in ancient Israel over 6,000 years ago? Archaeologists
have recently uncovered a significant clue suggesting so. In the archaeological site of
Ashkelon, one of the oldest copper fishhooks was found, shedding light on the past. This
fishhook, originating from an agricultural village during the Chalcolithic period, is believed
to have played a role in community-wide deep-sea fishing expeditions.
Ashkelon, a city layered with history, was constructed atop an ancient seaport bearing the same
name. Its roots extend as far back as ancient Egypt, with previous findings unearthing
structures from the Byzantine and Roman eras. The discovered hook measures approximately 6.5
centimeters in length and 4 centimeters in width. This size indicates its capacity to capture
marine creatures, including sharks measuring between 2 and 3 meters, or large fish like tuna—
both commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea.
Considering the insights marine biologists possess about the deep-sea ecosystems in this
region, it's plausible that sharks were a prime target for these fishing endeavors. |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
April 28, 2019
For the entire month we have noticed
far less tourists arriving than we
would normally see, we believe that
part of the reason for this has been
the U.S. government threatening to shut
down the border with Mexico and people
are worried that they will become
stranded or lose out on deposits paid,
etc, many people have mentioned this
and are waiting for the situation to
stabilize before committing to their
travel plans or simply just going
elsewhere. We never thought the border
would actually be closed, think it just
was a scare tactic, anyway, this has
hurt local businesses.
Weather patterns were typical spring
time, actually still a little chilly
early in the morning, down to 60
degrees, though skies are mostly clear
and sunny with daytime highs reaching
85 degrees, ideal climate, only if it
could stay like this year round. Winds
were very moderate, ocean conditions
comfortable, though water was still
cooler, averaging 68 to 71 degrees
through much of the inshore zone, we
now see warmer water on the outside, up
to 74/75 degrees, should move closer to
shore soon, pushing in cleaner blue
water and bring in more of the pelagic
gamefish.
There continue to be schooling sardinas
found around the jetty area of Puerto
Los Cabos Marina, nice sized sardinas
as well, this has been the main
baitfish being used now, also some
smaller sized mullet in the mix. New
marina rules are not allowing bait
netters to work inside the marina as
they had in the past, this has limited
opportunities for caballito, it is
about time that authorities do try to
control this marina and they could also
work on wake speed enforcement.
Most consistent action being found now
was for sierra and bonito, sierra
mainly on the live sardinas, being
found along many of the inshore
stretches. Bonito were hitting the same
baits and also readily on the yo-yo
jigs, hanging over the various rock
piles.
Areas north of Punta Gorda, Cardon, La
Fortuna and Iman Bank, were being
targeted as well, catches included
yellow snapper, amberjack, cabrilla,
bonito and triggerfish. Later in the
week a couple of yellowtail were
reported from off the Outer Gordo Bank,
so maybe something will happen on this,
it has been another slow season for
yellowtail, but still a chance they
will become active in the coming weeks.
There has been a noticeable increase in
sea lion activity on these same fishing
grounds, this can always put a damper
on things in a hurry.
This year we have seen more fluctuating
water conditions, has started to warm
up, then just like that would turn over
and cool back off, becoming greenish,
has been on and off like this for
weeks. With some more consistent warmer
weather, less wind, we should see some
stabilization and improved action
before long. This can be the time where
things can change quickly, increasing
activity for the striped marlin, tuna,
wahoo and dorado. We will hope this
happens sooner than later.
The combined sportfishing fleet out of
the panga area from Puerto Los Cabos
Marina reported an estimated 58
charters for the week and anglers
reported an approximate fish count of:
5 yellowfin tuna, 2 yellowtail, 15
leopard grouper, 125 bonito, 24 red
snapper, 14 mohara, 14 yellow snapper,
22 amberjack, 165 sierra, 4 glasseye
pargo, 7 roosterfish and 75
triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
