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.

San Jose del Cabo

Anglers –
Well the official summer season has now started, though the weather
patterns seem all mixed up and it still feels a bit like spring, with
breezes off the ocean keeping conditions comfortable. Days have been mostly
sunny, a mix of marine haze and some tropical cloud cover formation, high
temperatures have been moderate, averaging in the upper 80s. The climate
has been ideal, sure would be great if the entire summer was this mild.
Great time to travel to Southern Baja now, airline tickets have been
discounted and crowds are relatively light, perfect time to come have fun
in the sun.
Ocean temperatures have stabilized from Cabo San Lucas to Los Frailes,
where water temperatures now ranged from 75 to 78 degrees. Swift currents
have swept inshore and even though the water is warmer, it has turned over
once again and is a murky greenish color through most of the inshore zone.
Clean blue water has been spotty offshore, most often found 8 to 15 miles
from shore. Swells are moderate now, variable winds have been predominately
out of the Northeast and then switching directly out of the east, before
turning from out of the south. Common pattern that affects the Southern
Baja region each season during this transition period from the spring
season into the tropical summer, by next month these Pacific air flows and
marine moisture normally give way to the sultry tropical patterns.
Anglers continued to enjoy perhaps the best roosterfish action in the past
ten years, with many trophy sized fish of over fifty pounds being accounted
for. Trolling baitfish such as caballito, mullet and moonfish, which have
been plentiful around the PLC marina jetties, have resulted in epic action
for the past several weeks now. Just yesterday the action did taper way
off, as the current switched and brought in green water along the coastal
stretches where the roosterfish had been so plentiful, as conditions
rebound we expect to see more of these jacks providing trills to anglers.
We do encourage practicing the sport of catch and release on these
particular gamefish, not renown for favorable eating qualities, but more so
as an aggressive inshore adversary which sport anglers can only encounter
in certain parts of the Pacific coast.
The marlin action improved this past week, as good numbers of striped
marlin were found in the blue water, most of the time about 8 to 15 miles
from shore, many charters were accounting for multiple billfish days, often
up to five per boat, most all boats targeting the billfish accounted for
one or two. The stripers were readily striking on lures, many reports of
multiple hook ups, also striking trolled or cast baits. No consistent
counts of dorado being reported, but these gamefish are scattered
throughout the offshore blue water fishing grounds, bull dorado to 40
pounds were weighed in, this is the time of year where we normally can find
larger sized dorado, but more often they are solitary fish or in small
groups, unless you happen upon some floating debris which could be
attracting large concentrations of dorado of all sizes.
Other action found close to shore included amberjack, dogtooth snapper,
pompano, jack crevalle, cabrilla and pargo colorado. This action was best
early in the morning and was hit or miss from day to day, but some quality
sized fish were accounted for anglers while slow trolling live baits over
shallow water rock outcroppings, often in only 30 or 40 feet of water, one
80 pound amberjack was accounted for, snapper to 40 pounds, of course many
hook ups resulted in cut lines due to the close proximity of the sharp rock
piles.
Last weekend the local Father’s Day Tournament based out of La Playita,
Puerto Los Cabos Marina, saw 32 teams compete for three qualifying species,
yellowfin tuna, dorado and wahoo, first place fish was a 42 pound wahoo,
runner up was a 40 pound dorado and there were no tuna accounted for. This
week there were a few reports of fleets spotting tuna on the surface while
trolling offshore waters, but these fish disappeared as quickly as they had
appeared, also quite a bit more porpoise activity being reported offshore,
this is always a favorable sign that we should start to see some more
yellowfin move into the region.
The combined panga fleet launching out of Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out
approximately 112 charters for the week, with anglers reporting a fish
count of, 7 sailfish, 26 striped marlin, 15 dorado, 1 wahoo, 24 amberjack,
16 pargo colorado, 20 yellow snapper, 15 barred pargo, 14 dogtooth snapper,
19 cabrilla, 14 pompano, 8 sierra and 230 roosterfish.
Good fishing, Eric
