Tip&Trick Description 1:
The Castaway
One day this guy, who has been stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years, sees an unusual
speck on the horizon. 'It's certainly not a ship, 'he thinks to himself. As the speck gets closer and closer,
he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft.
Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes this drop-dead gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and
scuba gear. She approaches the stunned guy and says to him, 'Tell me, how long has it been since
you've had a cigarette?' 'Ten years' replies the stunned man. With that, she reaches over and unzips a
waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it and
takes a long drag and says, 'Man oh man! Is that ever good!'
And how long has it been since you've had a sip of bourbon?' she asks him.
Trembling, the castaway replies: 'Ten years!' She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on her
right sleeve pulls out a flask and hands it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig and says, 'Wow,
that's absolutely fantastic!'
At this point, she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs own the front of her wet suit, looks at
him seductively and asks, 'And how long has it been since you've played around?' With tears in his eyes
the guy falls to his knees and says. 'Oh sweet Jesus! Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there too! |

Cabo Fish Report
Sept. 19-25, 2005
WEATHER: There was no change in our weather this week, it’s still hot and humid. Our day time highs have been in the 100 degree range while the night time lows have been right around 80 degrees. No rain this week even though we did have a bit of cloud cover early.
WATER: The Sea of Cortez was pretty much a solid 85-88 degrees no matter where you went this week, the only difference anyone could find was there were current lines of green water out there and the fish seemed to be up along the edges. On the Pacific side we had a small upwelling of cold 82-83 degree water right along the edge of the Cape early in the week and that has held together and moved offshore. At the end of the week the cool green water is sitting right on top of the San Jaime Bank while the warm water has worked it’s way back around and now lies between the San Jaime and the shore almost all the way up to the Golden Gate Banks.
BAIT: Almost everyone had a difficult time getting bait at the beginning of the week and there were a lot of grunts and ladyfish showing up in bait tanks. They are not the best baits in the world, but are better than nothing I guess. We were able to get Caballito and Mullet at the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: It seemed that the bite on the Pacific side died down for Billfish this week but it stayed pretty good just past the 95 spot and up between the 1150 and the Gorda Banks. Most of this was due to the green water forming a barrier and holding the fish. It was an even mix of Striped and Blue Marlin with most of the Blues being in the 200-250 pound range and the Stripers in the 120 pound class.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: This week was almost a repeat of last week, so here it is. I didn’t hear of may large Tuna this week, in fact almost the only action on Yellowfin I heard of was on football and slightly larger fish up at Punta Gorda, caught by using Sardinas, and a pod of Porpoise holding school fish in the 25-35 pound range up to the north of the 1150, between there and the 1,000 fathom line at Punta Gorda. Like I said Sardinas for the footballs, and the school fish were biting dark colored feathers and live bait dropped to 50 feet.
DORADO: Bigger fish have begun showing up, and of course it helps if you can find something floating in the water. I know of two boats that were able to get into some very hot action this week, one at a dead seal and another at a dead turtle. The seal held a large school of fish averaging 20 pounds while the turtle had fish averaging twice that. Other than floating objects, the action was on smaller fish in the 8-15 pound class just offshore in water between ½ mile and 5 miles out, both on the Pacific side and on the Sea of Cortez side.
WAHOO: There were still Wahoo being caught this week and they were spread out. I had one do a rocket on me and just cut the skirt on a lure. Most of the fish were found along the 50-100 fathom area along both coasts, but there were not as many found as there were last week.
INSHORE: Most of the normal inshore fisheries were on hold as the Panga fishermen attacked the Dorado just off of the beach. There were a few Roosterfish reported, but most of the Pangas were getting Dorado, small Yellowfin and Bonito.
NOTES: Keeping busy, again I have to take off as I have a charter. Have fun this week and I hope you get a big one! Tournament season is only a few weeks away and already the big boats are showing back up! Until next week, Tight Lines!
