| 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. |

| Even Catfish are finicky |
| Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

|
| Fish have built in radar? |
| Built-in Radar Many species of fish have a powerful sense organ called the lateral line running across their body. It can detect motion in the water, allowing them to hunt prey, avoid predators, and navigate in the dark. |

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Take apart a steelhead spin-and-glow. Slide a small bead down your leader on top of your hoochy ( plastic skirt )
slide on the spinner. Looks great trolling for halibut, stripers. Probably makes some noise too while going through the water.. Have fun |

CABO FISH REPORT FOR NOVEMBER 30 TO DECEMBER 6, 2003
WEATHER: We had a good week weather wise with our highs in the high 80’s and
lows in the mid 60’s. It was partly cloudy at the beginning of the week but cleared up at
the end. Light winds in the afternoon but almost no breeze in the mornings made for
very comfortable conditions.
WATER: We had one day this week, I believe it was Tuesday, when the surface
conditions on the Pacific side were rough, but that was due to conflicting currents, not
due to wind. By rough, I mean that there were big swells, some of them 8 foot, with a
lot of little stuff between and small standing whitecaps. This condition extended for
almost 15 miles. The rest of the week there were small swells of the normal 2-4 foot
variety, calm in the mornings with a little chop in the afternoons. The Sea of Cortez
was calm up until past the Vinorama area, then it got rough due to wind. The Sea of
Cortez was showing an almost even 79-80 degrees across the board at the end of the
week while the Pacific side was just a degree cooler. There was a good temperature
break 30 miles to the west where we went from 78 to 76 degree water.
BAIT: Mackerel at the normal $2 each and Sardinas at $20 a bucket were available all
week long.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: This is the third week in a row where the concentration of Marlin has been
on the lighthouse and most of them have been caught while dropping down live bait.
These are Striped Marlin and the average weight has been around 110 pounds. A few
have been caught on the troll while working close to the coast up the Pacific side. Dark
colored lures have been the ticket there.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Long runs and keeping your fingers crossed were the key to
getting Tuna this week. The closest I heard of them coming in was 14 miles to the west
but the concentration of Tuna was found on the temperature break 30 miles west. Of
course, they were associated with the Porpoise. Live bait, small feathers, cedar plugs
and little hootchies were working on them. Most of the Tuna were in the football
category, up to 20 pounds, with a few larger fish mixed in. I know there were fish found
in other places, but that is where most of the effort was centered.
DORADO: Either you found wood floating or you found Frigate birds working, that was
almost the only way anyone caught Dorado this week. Most of the fish found were less
than 25 pounds in size and some boats did very well if they were the first to a piece of
wood. Live bait was the key and if you were lucky, there could be a big school under
the wood and you limited out. Most of the boats never saw a Dorado this week though.
WAHOO: Coming up on the full moon there were Wahoo caught at the end of the
week and they were found on the banks or on the ledge at the lighthouse. Quite a few
boats got bit while soaking bait for Marlin but of course, those teeth made short work of
the mono leaders! Most of the fish were in the 45 pound class with a few going to 80
pounds.
INSHORE: Small Sierra, Jack Crevalle and Pargo were the fish caught inshore this
week, and the action was not very hot. Most boats came in with a couple of Pargo
caught on live bait and a few Sierra, but a few boats actually got into good schools of
the little razormouths and were able to get a dozen or more fish in the 5 pound class.
NOTES: The whales are starting to show up. Mary and I were invited out on a sunset
cruise and we spent almost an hour watching three Humpbacks right off the point. As
the water cools down we should start to see the Gray whales showing up as well. The
fishing was a bit off this week, it seemed you either got Marlin close to home while
soaking bait, or made a long journey offshore for a chance at small Tuna. I know this is
not the kind of information you like to hear, but that’s the way it is. Things should pick
up soon. Until next week, Tight lines!
