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 else’s 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
August 18, 2013
Anglers –
Despite this time of year traditionally be known as the off season tourists
visiting Southern Baja, this summer there have been quite a few people
arriving. We are now in the midst of the most tropical period, which
normally lasts for the next four or five weeks. On Monday there was a storm
front that swept in from the east, lightening, thunder, some scattered
rain, sportfishing fleets canceled early morning charters, by 9 a.m. the
front had passed and some charters did launch later. This is local tropical
weather forming offshore, chance of isolated rain showers and more rain
over the weekend. Though there are new tropical storms that are forming to
the south, with ocean water temperature now 85 degrees or warmer the
environment is ripe for quick storm develop, heat index has been over 100
degrees, very high humidity and forecasts will be monitored closely.
With the warming tropical weather, light winds, ocean temperatures have
risen and the all around offshore fishing action has improved. Clean blue
water is now close to shore, concentrations of bolito, skipjack and
football sized yellowfin tuna are on the fishing grounds, attracting a
variety of gamefish, catches have included, sailfish, blue marlin, striped
marlin, dorado, wahoo, yellowfin tuna and skipjack. Inshore there are still
decent numbers of late season roosterfish hanging around the Puerto Los
Cabos Marina Jetty area.
Not much bottom action now available, swift currents make it more difficult
for drift fishing over the structure. The commercial panga fleet coming
from the Los Frailes direction have been setting anchors on the San Luis
Bank and hauling in big numbers of huachinango, the true red snapper,
valuable commercial catch, averaging 6 to 12 pounds. Some of the charter
boats are now getting into this action, drift fishing with pieces of fresh
giant squid. The squid are being caught off Los Frailes in quantity, can be
purchased from this panga fleet, $10 buys you a lot of squid, this is
something that has just developed this week, it has been working though.
Still no supplies of sardinas, these baitfish would work great for chumming
the yellowfin tuna into a surface feeding frenzy, it is time the local bait
supplying pangeros should starting to scout out this bait source. In the
mean time they are still finding plentiful caballito, mullet and moonfish.
Surf conditions are moderate now, takes one group to start chasing the
sardinas, then the rest will follow.
Dorado have been the most numerous gamefish being found, ranging in all
sizes, up to 45 lb., offshore and inshore, throughout the blue water,
striking a wide variety of lures and baits, blind strikes and found on set
buoys or other debris. Many dorado are be released, the limit on these fish
is two per license, best to release the juveniles and only bag the larger
specimens. More wahoo were accounted for off the high spots north of Punta
Gorda, most of these fish hit on trolled lures and ranged in the 25 to 50
lb. class. Wahoo are normally not that active when the water temperatures
get so warm, but these fish are elusive and will feed when they feel like
it.
Striped marlin have been hanging around, despite the warm currents, while
most of the stripers would now be found in cooler Pacific waters, there are
significant numbers of these fish still in the area, at times found in
grounds of five or six, tailing on the surface, often proving to be finicky
and not interested, other times readily striking lures and trolled baits.
Everyday we are hearing stories of blue marlin strikes and an occasional
black marlin encounter, we expect to see more of this action, as this is
now the time, with the conditions ideal and the food prevalent, big fish
will be lurking.
Yellowfin tuna action has been found from Iman to San Luis Bank, trolling
hoochie type lures or drift fishing with strips of fresh squid, the action
has been sporadic, feeding on their particular schedule, some charter would
have 5 to 10 tuna in the box, though most anglers were fortunate to catch
one or two. Sizes have averaged 8 to 15 pounds.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 78 charters for the week, with anglers
reporting a fish count of: 2 blue marlin, 38 striped marlin, 8 sailfish,
124 yellowfin tuna, 215 dorado, 12 wahoo, 30 roosterfish, 14 jack crevalle,
45 huachinango (red snapper) and 11 cabrilla.
Good fishing, Eric
