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. |

We had the first serious storm system strike the Los Cabos area this week. Hurricane Genevieve which developed off of the Southern mainland coast,
strengthening rapidly to a category four storm, before weakening some as it past much closer to the Baja Peninsula than was originally forecast, with
the eye passing within about 50 miles of land as it paralleled the Baja coast on a northwesterly track. Rainfall ranging from 6 to 12 inches was
recorded, wind gusts to 60 mph and some fairly serious flooding in lower locations. There were local Port closure for three days due to heavy storm
swells, reopening for Saturday morning. Most of the region was out of power for two to three days before utilities were restored. Overall the area
escaped any serious devastating damage and did receive some much needed rainfall.
All of the rain caused a lot of muddy run off and ocean was stirred up and dirty to over five miles offshore, with weather now settled we should see
clarity improve and rebound with each passing day. Live bait also became very scattered, with bait vendors scrambling to find limited resources for
caballito, mullet and a few sardinas.
Before the storm most of the better fishing opportunities came off of the San Luis Bank and this is where the fleets resumed after the storm.
Fighting greenish dirty currents made things tough for anglers over the weekend, though they did find a mix of species off the bottom and some
limited surface action. Anglers used lures, yo-yo jigs and limited bait for a mix of pargo, red snapper, cabrilla, amberjack, bonito, dorado, with the
highlight being a handful of yellowfin tuna in the 40 to 60 lb. range.
No inshore action was found as it seems that the high swell scattered all that had been going on close to the shoreline. This is the time of year
that conditions can clear back up just as fast as they had turned over, as long as no new storms strike. We do see the forecast of new systems
possibly developing for late next week, so we will be monitoring these reports and hope that they pass off further to the west. The next six weeks
are historically the period when Hurricanes have developed and impacted this zone.
Light crowds, good fishing, Eric
