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
October 18, 2020
We continue to see larger crowds of anglers arriving, as this is always one of the busiest times for sportfishing fleets in the Los Cabos area. Also
this is big tournament time, with the Los Cabos Billfish and Bisbee Offshore just finishing and this next week there will be the largest and
richest of all, the Bisbee’s Black and Blue event, followed early next month by the WON Tuna Jackpot. Overall this season will be remembered as
the year of unpresented numbers of changes and cancellations, all this due to the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic.
Weather patterns were again increasingly tropical, as mornings had started to be a little chilly, not anymore, as lows were back in the upper 70’s and
highs about 90 degrees, but combined with humidity factor the heat index was more like 99 degrees. This change all happened at the start of this
past week, as a tropical low pressure system developed off to the west of the Southern Peninsula. On Tuesday morning we received about one inch of
rain, more than what was originally forecast, though we did still have charters fishing that day, as weather front passed through by mid-morning.
The rest of the week has been clear with slight swells and little wind. Ocean water temperature actually warmed back up, as it had been on a
cooling trend, but now it was back into the 87 degree range.
Local fleets were mostly fishing the grounds from the Gordo Banks and north towards Vinorama, main bait source has been sardinas, with slabs of squid
also being used. Despite ideal ocean conditions most days, the all-around action was more hit or miss. Perhaps the sudden warmer water put the fish
off the bite, hard to say, also added pressure. Main catch we saw was for dorado, with the majority of these fish taken while trolling and they were
weighing in the 5 to 15 lb. range. Very few wahoo landed, but we did see a handful of them brought in, most of these hit on trolled Rapalas and were
in the 20 to 40 lb. class. As water temperature drops back near 80 degrees we expect to see much better activity on these sought after gamefish.
We did see a few nice yellowfin tuna brought to the scales, topping 130 lb. and a couple of cows over 200 lb. were taken during recent tournaments.
Most of the tuna we are seeing are more in the 50 to 70 lb. class, though even these became more elusive in recent days. Most of the tuna were taken
on sardinas, though larger baits were also used for chance at the cows. The Gordo Banks produced a few of the larger tuna, though more charters are
trying their luck on the Iman, San Luis and Vinorama grounds where action had been more consistent.
Off the bottom a handful of nice dogtooth snapper, cabrilla and amberjack were accounted for, though no consistent action to speak of and numbers
were limited. Billfish action was spread out, we saw more sailfish than anything else, but a few much larger blue and black marlin were in the
area, as we saw a few of them weighed in during recent tournaments, the largest being the 593 lb. black marlin taken by legendary La Playita
pangero Hugo Pino, who also caught the winning yellowfin tuna of 236 lb. during the same event.
Good fishing, Eric
