Apr 3, 2012; 01:15PM - Hawaiin jug trick

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I recently learned this from an old Hawaiian fishing
book a friend loaned to me.
<>
<>When fishing for dolphin take a gallon jug attached to 20 feet of aid or dacron with a 2 ounce egg sinker sliding on it, connect to a swivel and then 6-10 feet of mono or fluro and a 6/0 circle hook.
<>
<>When you start hooking dolphin in the spread, throw the jug overboard baited with a chunk of fish, squid or small live-bait, being careful not to tangle your trolling lines. As you play out the already hooked fish, inevitably another dolphin takes the jug bait.
<>
<>This prevents you from losing the shoal whilst fighting the trolled fish and you also get several followers to cast to around the milk jug that you can go back to once you landed the first fish.
<>
<>Use a gaff to retrieve the jug/fish through the jug handle.
<>
<>Have tried it twice now and it worked like a charm both times, resulting in much more sport and fish on the grill.. Not sure if there are 'rules or regulations' against such things in the USA though.. |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR AUGUST 23 TO AUGUST 30, 2003
WEATHER: Thank goodness that Hurricane Ignacio is gone! We received just enough rainfall
from it that the desert was well watered and there was no heavy runoff. Just to the north in San
Jose the rain came down harder and even further, up toward La Paz, they got up to 19 inches in
24 hours. The Port opened on the 25th at 10 am after the Port Captain decided the storm was
past. Belaboring the obvious, the beginning of the week was cloudy with rain, the end of the
week was sunny and dry. Lows in the high 70’s and highs in the mid 90’s.
WATER: Rough water at the beginning of the week, but good enough to fish on when the Port
opened. We did not receive any large storm swells. Once the wind went away the water was
almost perfect. I say almost because there has been an area that has moved along the Sea of
Cortez coast that has been very cold, as low as 68 degrees, and has been a dirty green color. This
area has covered an easy 10 square miles and has moved from along the coast up at San Jose,
along the coast to Cabo and has now eddied off to the southeast. It is slowly warming and is now
in the high 70’s and moving away. There has been a very distinct debris line associated with it as
well. On the Pacific side, the winds have left the water slightly choppy but there has been a very
distinct temperature break running from just off the front of Cabo out past the San Jaime Bank
with 81 degree water on the north side and 85 degree water on the south side. The break has
been over a very short distance.
BAIT: It was almost impossible to get any bait in the early part of the week and almost all of the
boats went out baitless. A few of the Pangas were able to net a couple of Mullet and a few more
caught some slipmouth (a bony snapper looking fish) and they were better than nothing, but not
much. The big bait boat came in from the Mag Bay area on Thursday and unloaded into the
receivers so everyone had fresh Mackerel on Friday. The bait had not cured yet and on Friday
almost half the bait sold died within 4 hours. On Saturday the bait had settled down and very few
of them died (other than from being eaten!). The price on all bait this week was the normal $2
per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: We were not sure what kind of effect the Hurricane was going to have on the fishing
but the effects did not last as long as we had feared. Marlin were being caught on the day the
Captain re-opened the port and the bite just seemed to get a little better each day. Most of the
fish were caught in the area of the temperature breaks and where there were color changes in the
water. A great area this week for Striped Marlin was on the east edge of the cold water eddy in
the Sea of Cortez and the Blues were scattered in there as well. Another area that seemed good
was 24 miles to the south of the Cape where there were some reels spooled by big fish. The
Pacific side lighthouse had fish 7 miles out and it was a mixed bag with both Striped and Blue
Marlin as well as some Yellowfin Tuna. The Blue Marlin off the cold water eddy loved light
colored lures as there were large numbers of big squid in the area. Live Mackerel on the Stripers
was the ticket, but you had to toss to a lot of fish to get a bite.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: East of the 95 Spot and west of the Pacific lighthouse were the Tuna
locations this week. Past the 95 spot there were some larger fish found, with a few over #150,
but most of them in the 36-60 pound class. The Pacific side fish were a bit smaller with many of
them footballs but there were some nice 40 pounders in the mix. In both areas the fish were
associated with Porpoise. Cedar plugs and feathers were the ticket.
DORADO: The debris washed into the water by the Hurricane has begun to hold Dorado and
there were a few boats that found good logs to work. The fish have been averaging 15 pounds
but there have been a few nice 40 pounders in the mix. Live bait worked around the debris was
the way to go and a few boats did well getting chunk lines going in areas of debris.
WAHOO: Most of the Wahoo action seemed to come from the Pacific side this week and it was
from boats working the temperature break. The fish were not giants but most of them were in the
30 pound range. Marlin lures seemed to get lost on a regular basis as few boats were specifically
looking for the fish.
INSHORE: With the water inshore being cold and green, there was very little action. Most of
the Pangas were working offshore since the water on the Cortez side was so nice. Jack Crevalle
was the catch of the day for boats that insisted on trying the inshore opportunities.
NOTES: Big Squid at the 1150 and 95 Spots this week were an opportunity many of the boats
in the area could not pass up. The fish were running from 15 to 40 pounds. Not surprisingly,
many of the Marlin caught in the area had Squid hanging from their mouths! White Iron worked
vertically hooked many of the Squid, as did chunk bait. A few boats pulled off the concentration
and started chunking with cut Squid and hooked into large Dorado. Here is a quick reminder for
those of you looking to book a charter in Cabo (or anywhere else). I had a couple come to me
this week complaining about a booking they had made with another company. They had booked
a day when the port was closed by the Captain, and had booked the date a few months in
advance. Upon finding that they were not going to be able to go fishing they asked about getting
their 50% deposit refunded and were told to check their paperwork. The company would not
offer any refund for any reason but instead offered to apply the deposit to another booking within
the next year from the canceled trip. Wow, what if you are only able to get here every other year?
Anyway, just a reminder, check out the refund policies before you book. This weeks report was
written to the Surf Guitar Music of Dick Dale on his 1994 album “Unknown Territory”. A client
of mine was nice enough to burn about 30 albums for me and bring them down, but since they are
copies I don’t have all the information on them yet. I am working on it though! Thanks Charlie!
Until next week, tight lines!
