| When Anglerfish mate, they melt into each other and share their bodies forever. |

|
|
| Not all fishes lay eggs. |
| Fishes like split fins, surf-perches, and some sharks instead carry and give birth to live young. Scientists have also discovered that the embryos of some of these fishes actually consume each other in the womb. How’s that for creepy fish facts? |

|
| The Sea Anemone looks like a flower, but it’s actually a carnivorous animal that eats small fish and shrimp. |
|
|
|
| Fishes hear with both their ears and their skeletons, sensing the vibrations of sound in the water. |
| Scientists even suspect that sharks can clearly hear sounds from over 3 km away. |
|
|
| In three decades, the world's oceans will contain more discarded plastic than fish when measured by weight, researchers say. |

|
|
| As of 2020, there were 34,000 known fish species around world. That’s more than the number of species in all other vertebrates: birds, reptiles, mammals, and amphibians combined. |

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Three colossus / extra jumbo shrimp (look like small lobster tails) per
adult.
2 small mini bottles of vodka
1 lemon
1 small bottle of Chinese hot and sweet mustard.
A small bottle of cream of horseradish sauce
Bacon sliced
Wood tooth picks
One large jar of mango chutney
· Shell shrimp / discard shell
· Wash in cool water after de-vain
· Put cleaned shrimp in bowl, pour vodka over shrimp, this kills and germs
and get’s rid of the stinky fish smell
· Squeeze a lemon over the shrimp and chill
· Drain bowl
· Mix horseradish and Chinese mustard 50/50 then rub the shrimp down with
the mix
· Wrap shrimp in bacon strips (boars head smoked bacon is nice for an added
kick), use toothpicks to hold bacon around shrimp
· Grill both sides then stand them up and grill the backs (We must always
cook our bacon)
· Place cooked shrimp on a plate, once bacon has cooled you can remove the
toothpicks prior to serving.
It should have shrink wrapped around the shrimp.
· Serve with mango chutney for dipping a room temp.

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT NOVEMBER 18-24, 2002
WEATHER: This week the weather cooled a bit, seems as if we are approaching an autumn
kind of situation. Our nighttime lows have been in the low 60’s while our daytime highs have
reached the mid 90’s with a bit of humidity at times. The skies have been partly cloudy for the
most part and we have had no rain this past week. The weathermen say that we can expect some
thundershowers this coming week, but I’ll believe it when I hear/see it! (Theme For A Rainy
Day)
WATER: Surface conditions have been very good on both the Sea of Cortez and the pacific side
this week. Weak winds from the northwest have ensured good conditions all week long and the
most difficult situations we have had to deal with have been the tide changes concurrent with the
full moon. Water temps have been the same as last week with the exception that the cool band of
water coming down from the northern Sea of Cortez has gotten closer. Everything else has
stayed about the same. There have been distinct temperature breaks to the west of both the San
Jaime and the Golden Gate banks, and the breaks have been pretty severe, but the distances have
been too far for most of the fleet boats here in Cabo. We are looking at 50-70 miles out and a
temp change of 5 degrees in a mile distance. (Take You There)
BAIT: Most of the bait we found this week has been small Mackerel, the 8-10 inch size. There
have been some Caballito and both species have been the usual $2 per bait. With a bit of
bargaining you can get 12 for $20. There are still some Sardines at the usual $20-25 per small
scoop. (Jamaican Winds)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: This week has been a bit strange for Billfish. We have been seeing a lot of Sailfish
caught early in the morning along with a few Striped Marlin being hooked up. Normally the
abundance of Sailfish corresponds with a very strong Dorado bite, but this week it seems that the
Sails have stood ground on their own. Most of these fish have been found close to shore in the
same areas that the Dorado frequent, and most of them have been caught on live bait. That
average size has been 70 pounds, no minnow for sure but just a little shy of the 120 pound Striped
Marlin people are looking for. These fish (the Striped Marlin) have been caught in the same areas
but are also being found on the 95 spot and in areas further to the south. There have been a few
late season Blue Marlin hooked up, but not many of them have been landed. Best baits for the
Sailfish have been the small live Mackerel, best for the Striped Marlin have been the same baits
plus any Caballito. The Blue marlin have been fooled by artificial lures this week, and mostly by
ones in darker colors. (Mobimientos Del Alma)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: This full moon seems to be a bit different. Usually we see an up-swing in
the Yellowfin Tuna during the full moon but this week there actually seemed to be a drop. The
fish that were found were footballs and they all were associated with either Porpoise or floating
debris. Most of the favorite spots were in the current lines at either 12 miles or 25 miles to the
south. These fish were still fun to catch and there were plenty of them around if you were in the
right spot at the right time. 6” cedar plugs were a hands down favorite, followed by 6” feathers in
Guacamaya or Petrolero. (She Never Said Why)
DORADO: Thank goodness for most of the boats that there were Dorado around this week. If
not for these great fish, many of the boats would not be flying any flags at all. The Dorado were
running from 15 to 25 pounds on the average and most of them were found by trolling artificial
then switching to live bait once the schools were located. Our fish this week seemed to show a
preference for the Pacific side of the Cape, and most of them were only a short distance from the
shore. (Kissin’ On The Beach)
WAHOO: There were a few nice fish caught this week and I suspect it had a lot to do with the
full moon. They averaged 35 pounds and some of them were caught on live bait while deep
dropping live Mackerel for the Striped Marlin. I heard stories aplenty from anglers about the
number of baits they brought up that had either been cut in half or stolen altogether. (Trailer hook
hidden in the tail!?) (Every Moment With You)
INSHORE: The inshore fishing this week was almost a mirror of last weeks escapades. Most of
the small boat fleet was focused on slow trolling live Caballito or Mackerel in the hope of finding
a Dorado or a Striped Marlin. There were reports of small Yellowtail and Roosterfish, but I did
find out that the bite for those small gear tackle busters, the “Skipjack”, was wide open.
(Midnight In San Juan)
NOTES: Those of you with whom we have tagged and released fish using the “Billfish
Foundation” tags during the past 3 months, you need to be aware that things have changed just a
bit. When last we ordered the tags (two months ago) there was supposed to be the option of
having a release certificate mailed to you stating the date, location, angler, boat, species,
estimated size and fighting time. This certificate was supposed to be at no charge to you as the
angler. Well, the “Billfish Foundation” is a non-profit organization dependent solely on donations
from anglers in order to keep its self afloat. It’s purpose has been to educate anglers about
species sustainability, and the collection of more accurate fish data to better understand the
reproduction and growth cycles of the Billfish. According to the foundation, there has been a
lack of financial support, they claim it is due to the economic situation in the U.S., and due to the
climbing expenses they have been forced to begin charging for the release certificates. As a
non-member there is a charge of $20 per certificate but if you decide to become a 1 year member
at the special introduction rate of $25, all certificates are free. If you are confused, just go to their
website and check them out. They said there were too many charter boats and organizations to
be able to notify everyone in advance. Guess that is why I had to find out by my clients e-mailing
me to ask why they were getting a charge for certificates. Sigh, I guess it’s not just a Mexican
thing after all! This weeks report was written to the sounds of Earl Klugh and his guitar on the
1991 Warner Brothers CD release “Midnight in San Juan”
