Tip&Trick Description 1:
MEAT STOCK CUBE CHEMICAL LURE
This started off by being an applied science project in school linked to fishing for predatory species. I am happy for anyone to try it out. It takes some preparation but is worth the experiment. You can use it for river, lake or sea fishing from a bank, beach, pier or boat. Use the strongest line you have for dragging. Have a camera to get evidence of your catch.
First get your meat stock cubes the red varieties are the best imitation of the fluids that leak from wounded prey. They are much cheaper if bought in the large boxes and cost even less if you can get them put on someone elses shopping list.
You also need a pair of tights or stockings so ask nicely particularly if someone is wearing them at the time!
Cut the tights/stockings up into 10cm (4in) squares and put them onto a flat surface.
Take the foil wrapping off of each stock cube being careful not to crumble it and place one centrally onto each square of the tights/stockings.
Tie the four corners of the material together into a firm knot a test of your dexterity you may need to use bigger squares at first and trim them up afterwards.
Then tie a length of line inside the knot of each lure bag leaving plenty of spare to attach to the eye on your lure. Store your bags in a waterproof and crushproof container.
When you are ready to fish attach a bag to the eye of your lure making sure that you tie the knot so that a used bag can be easily removed from the eye but cannot slip off during movement underwater. A pair of fine scissors will useful to do the cutting during bag changing. Dispose of used bags and line responsibly please not into the water or onto the site.
Keep safe wear a lifejacket if you are fishing on or by deep water. Keep yourself warm and waterproof. Do not fish on your own it is safer with others. Let someone know where you are going and have a means of contacting him or her.

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
November 12, 2017
Peak season now for the panga fleets
out of San Jose del Cabo, this Sunday
is the annual Wahoo Tournament, which
also coincides with the sanctioned Iron
Man event in Los Cabos, many roads will
be closed off and patience will be
needed to navigate in any direction. It
can always be a challenge this time of
year, as everyone seems to want to
visit and go fishing all on the same
dates. Another couple of weeks and
things will settle back down to more
ordinary schedules.
Ocean temperatures are now in the 81 to
84 degrees range, still a few degrees
higher than normal for this time frame.
Early in the week we felt the season’s
first real consistent wind patterns
from the north develop, this made for
much tougher fishing conditions in the
direction of the Gordo Banks, Iman and
San Luis Banks. Many charters opted to
fish in the direction of Cabo San
Lucas, in calmer waters, catching good
number of fish, though the grade of
yellowfin tuna were smaller, off of
Palmilla Point there was a hot bite for
football sized tuna, with a few dorado
and wahoo mixed in. Bait netters were
still finding sardinas, despite the
heavy pressure, the bait schools were
now mainly concentrated around Palmilla
beaches. Other bait options included
some caballito, ballyhoo, slabs of
squid and chihuil.
Last weekend the Los Cabos WON Tuna
Jackpot was held and local La Playita
team “Estrella del Norte” with team
captain James Rosenwald and mate/angler
Adrian Miranda who caught the winning
338 lb. yellowfin tuna, taking home a
cool quarter of a million dollars for
their efforts, congratulations to them.
In tune up for the event last week, on
Tuesday, a 323 lb. yellowfin tuna was
caught from the panga Killer II with
skipper Chame Pino, in last week’s
report we mistaken did not mention the
angler who actually landed that fish,
this was local Los Cabos resident Jack
Dudenhoeffer. This week we had several
other cow sized tuna landed, including
Michael Aviani’s 220 lb., Miguel
Angeles with a 234 lb. tuna and Walter
Korbler with a 221 lb fish, all of
these taken off of the Gordo Banks.
Targeting the larger sized tuna
required lots of patience and
stockpiling larger quantities of bait,
sardinas, squid and chunks of skipjack
were all used, the majority of the
largest tuna were hooked on either
chunk of skipjack or strips of squid.
There were also nice sized tuna to over
100 lb. landed while fishing the San
Luis Bank, though that was tough
through much of the week due to north
winds, no big numbers of these larger
fish, but some anglers did account for
one, two and even three in one morning.
Most common sized tuna being caught
were more in the 7 to 15 lb. class,
these hit mostly of the sardinas, with
Iman Bank and Palmilla Point being hot
spot on particular days.
Dorado were much more scattered than
the tuna, limited numbers of these fish
were accounted for, more juvenile
sized, an occasional fish to 15 lb.
This is traditionally the peak time for
targeting wahoo, so far the action has
been random, not consistent day to day,
but for anglers specifically targeting
these gamefish, they were having
multiple chances and landed as many as
four per boat, though most felt
fortunate having one wahoo in the fish
box. They were hitting on both trolled
lures, such as Rapalas and also on trap
hooked baits, caballito and chihuil.
With the water temperature still
holding warm, we expect to have wahoo
in the area through next month as well.
Heavy pressure recently and wahoo can
prove to be one species that becomes
more elusive when large congregations
of boats are zooming around there
preferred feeding grounds.
Not much going off the bottom now, or
close to shore, that usually picks up
as water temperatures drop some. A few
sierra were caught this past week, also
miscellaneous pargo, snapper, but more
triggerfish than anything else.
The combined panga fleets launching out
of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina
sent out approximately 270 charters for
the week, with anglers reporting a fish
count of: 2 black marlin, 58 wahoo, 14
sierra, 920 yellowfin tuna, 72 dorado,
3 amberjack, 1 yellowtail, 14 yellow
snapper, 18 huachinango, 22 Eastern
Pacific bonito, 65 white skipjack, 13
cabrilla, 3 barred pargo and 140
triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
