Aug 8, 2004; 05:23AM - Stowage of StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retrievers

Author Name: John Szymanski

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Simple Stowage of StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever for more deck Space.
Most pole type lure retrievers are thick, bulky and rigid. StrikeBack is made of 1.5 metre fibreglass rods able to be connected together, each 8 or 10 mm in diameter, depending on the version.
Once you have your StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever at the boat; loctite the first two sections and slide the retriever in the gunwale rail on many aluminium boats, or attach a length of conduit along the inside of the boat. Your StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever is now stowed neatly as it has flexiblity to fit the contour of your the hull. Deck space is valuable, keep it clear. |

Sept. 25, 2004. Report covers the period Sat.-Fri. (9/18-9/24)
EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY, ZIHUATANEJO, MEXICO; AND SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE
IN GENERAL: No weird weather, no worries as the dorado continue play close to shore. A bit further out, plenty of tuna in the 20 - 35 pound range to put a bend in your stick. Be careful. Every once and a while a slug will show up and turn the party into work. Most of our clients wimped out after the dorado/tuna dance and seemed to be more interested in the pool and margaritas than the billfish.

Sept. 28, Full; Oct. 6, Last Quarter; Oct. 14, New; Oct. 20, First Quarter.
OFFSHORE: Most of the buzz was about the tuna, with the billfish taking a distant second.
INSHORE: Dorado dominated close to shore with a few skipjack, jacks and an occasional rooster.
BEACH: Roosters appeared along Bartle Beach, but seemed to be doing more cruising than biting.
BILLFISH – Sails dropped off a tad, but the blues turned on filling the gap.
YELLOWFIN TUNA – Enough to wear you out before noon.
DORADO – Getting larger, but still within a few miles of shore.
ROOSTERFISH\\JACK CREVALLE – Plenty to look at along Bartle attracted by the mullet schools moving up and down the beach.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – Find the right school and you may come up with some in the double digit class.
PARGO AND CABRILLA – Lots of locals fishing on the beach at night, can’t make up my mind if the fish are biting or they just want to cool off.
SIERRA – Not enough to rig with wire.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: By mid-week the wind had quit and it got hot. Dorado and marlin have begun to arrive in significant numbers close to the entrada. Try a heading of 230 – 240 degrees and you should find the action at about 15 miles. With the flaky weather earlier in the week plus shrimp season, no one was fishing the esteros.

YELLOWTAIL – Bird schools near the entrada to a few miles offshore will get in the neighborhood.
CORVINA – Try a popper at the bridge or the pier.
SNOOK – Still waiting for the larger variety to get going.
HALIBUT – Sandy beach, shallow water and olive Clouser should be a winner.
SIERRA – A few mixed in the bird schools at the entrada.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: The 80º blue water is still holding 5 miles off the beach. Recent rain storms this last week have created very well defined current lines holding debris washed out of the rivers. These current lines have been holding a lot of 25 to 35 pound dorado.
Adolpho, on the panga “Dos Hermanos,” released 4 sailfish yesterday, and took 4 very nice dorado. He also told me the roosterfish have slowed a little on the beaches, but he had managed 4 this last week in two days of fishing. He feels very confident the bite will pick up again once the shoreline turbidity cleans up.
The average for sailfish is about 2 fish per boat per day.
Between 5 and 7 miles the school sized tuna (about 15 to 20 pounds), have been giving us a lot of action. They have been there several days now, and do not appear to be moving.
