| 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 a word, 'Tough'. Fish did not bite this week like
they have the previous couple weeks. I think it has
to do with the full moon and am hopeful the action
will pick up soon.
Boats targeting billfish are only getting one or two
shots in a day. Ones not lucky enough to convert
the limited opportunities are going without.
Schoolie sized dorado that have been providing
loads of action have disappeared. There are a few
big bulls being landed off shore but it is a matter of
luck finding one.
It has taken a great deal of luck to be in the right
spot at the right time hunting for tuna. There has
been 2 main schools of porpoise. One has been off
Punta Arena Light house and the other outside and
north of Punta Pescadero. Both schools are moving
from 20 to 45 miles off shore. The first couple of
boats to find them have been doing well, but it is
just crumbs for the boats not on them early.
My grandson's were here this week and did manage
to catch some dorado and tuna. They also had a
couple shots at marlin but couldn't get one to stick.
Recently we have had a couple groups of bird
watchers charter our service to sight marine birds.
We did the first tour of this sort last year and I was
very apprehensive. The experience has turned out
to be very educational, rewarding and even exciting.
I had no idea the Sea of Cortez was such a rich
habitat for marine birds.
The first trip inspired me to buy the camera I now
use to capture all the images in my fishing reports.
Recently I learned this area hosts three types of
boobie birds. We have the brown boobie, the red
footed boobie and the blue footed boobie.
Boobie birds got their name based on the Spanish
slang term bubie, meaning 'dunce', as these tame
birds had a habit of landing on board sailing ships,
where they were easily captured and eaten. Owing
to this, boobies are often mentioned as having been
caught and eaten by shipwrecked sailors. As
appetizing as it sounds I have limited my shooting
to the camera.
This morning I noticed some tracks on the beach in
front of our place where a sea turtle had come up
looking for a place to lay her eggs. There was
evidence of one false hole she dug and more tracks
back to the water. This place is so alive with
different types of sea life it is incredible.
