| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

Aug 1, 2023; 07:26AM - They Don't Teach You This About Honey Bees in Schools

Tip&Trick Description 1:
1. Honey is the only food that has every single substance to sustain life.
2. Honey doesn't ever turn bad. You can actually eat honey that was found in Egyptian tombs
thousands of years ago. (if you dare) ‼️
3. A single bee produces just HALF a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. Hard work.
4. The darker the honey, the more powerful its medicinal properties and the less sweet it is.
The inverse also holds true.
5. Honey is the original antibiotic. It's been used as an antibacterial and antifungal for
generations.
6. Honey is a natural sleeping pill. Consuming honey aids with the production of melatonin.
Drink a warm cup of chamomile and take a shot of honey to the dome. Game changer.
7. You don't need to wash your honey dipper if you leave it in the jar of honey itself. Honey
is a natural preservative, so bacteria will not grow.
8. To make one pound of honey, bees need to visit 2 million flowers. 2 MILLION.

Tip&Trick Description 2:
9. Honey is the only food made by an insect that's actually eaten by BOTH the insect and us.
We're literally best friends.
10. Honey is one of the original remedies for an everyday cough & allergies. Local honey is
said to be useful in curing seasonal allergies.
11. Bees don't sleep. Work hard. Play hard.
12. Honey is excellent on burns. Cool the burn in running water. Pat it dry. Apply raw, organic
honey. It will speed up healing and even reduce any eventual scarring.
13. Babies under 12 months of age shouldn't ingest honey (their immune system isn't yet strong
enough to handle a certain strain of bacteria that's quite prevalent in honey)
14. Honey, like a lot of 'animal-based' products have a myriad of topical and oral applications
that make it incredibly versatile. Nature's all purpose drug.
15. The only honey that exists in my world is raw, organic unfiltered honey. To pasteurize
honey is to ruin the work of thousands of bees. You are literally a war criminal.
16. Everyone raves about Manuka honey, but the real ones have tried Jarrah. If you know, you
know.
17. Honey is one of the best hydration sources in the world. Honey > Pre Workout.
18. Honey is nature's moisturizer. |

18. Honey is nature's moisturizer.
19. Royal jelly is a special compound that worker bees secret; so potent it can transform an
ordinary bee into a queen bee. It's like a concentrated, supercharged version of honey.
20. The honey bee is a crucial part of our ecosystem. Without their help, over a third of all
food eaten in America wouldn't exist.
21. Honey should be a key ingredient in shampoos. Cleopatra did it. Why shouldn't we?
22. Bees communicate with other bees by dancing. That's how they signal where the best flowers
are. Seems familiar...
23. Honey is a source of flavanoids and phenolic acids — antioxidants which have been studied
to have incredible anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer properties.
24. The hexagonal shape of honeycomb cells is a MARVEL. How did they know to use hexagons?
Hexagons are the most efficient shape to store the maximum amount of honey with the least
amount of wax needed to build. Geniuses.
To the anti-honey community:
When we eat honey we are NOT stealing from bees. It's a symbiotic relationship. We protect them
from the harsh conditions of nature, giving them a safe space to have their fun and make their
vomit.
They are so happy that they usually produce more honey than they could ever physically consume.
By consuming their excess honey, we are actually helping them restore balance in the hive.
So yes people, eat more honey. Buy all the varieties. Gift it to everyone around you. And
always remember to give thanks to our wonderful striped yellow friends

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MAY 2-8, 2004
WEATHER: Summertime, summertime, summertime! I think we are getting there as the days are getting warmer, as are the nights. Sunny skies with our night time lows ranging from the mid 60s to the mid 70s and in the early morning you can smell the humidity. Our days are ranging from the low 80s to the mid 90s with plenty of sun, a bit of moisture in the air and mostly light breezes. Perfect weather for fishing!
WATER: Water temperatures this week have been from the high 60s out near Golden Gate Banks to the high 70s in the Sea of Cortez. The highest I saw this week was 78.9 degrees out near the 1150 spot. The water on the Pacific near shore and just off the Cape 1 mile has been a bit cooler than the surrounding water, but only by a degree or two, and has been a bit green from the large swells. Surface conditions got a bit choppy during the middle of the week on the Pacific side as the afternoon winds kicked in, but the Cortez side has remained very nice.
BAIT: We have had a good mix of both Caballito and Mackerel this week, with most of the Caballito fairly small but with some nice big Mackerel available. The normal price at $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Remember the last time you went fishing and were told You should have been here last week!? Well, this was last week for anglers wanting to catch a Striped Marlin, and we can only hope that it is not the only week. Almost every boat returning from a trip was flying at least one Marlin flag this week and the reason was easy to discover when you went out. The fish were close, and there were a lot of them! As was the case last week, the Marlin were close to shore, many of the fish were caught less than a mile from the beach. The hottest action toward the end of the week was right in front of town, at distances ranging from 3 miles to 10 miles out. A lot of boats ran out of live bait during the hot action and had to return to the marina to re-load! On my best day out we spotted over 24 fish, had two releases, lost a couple of others and ran out of bait at 11 AM. The next day my guys took our clients out and returned at 1 PM. They picked up 15 baits in the morning and returned with four Marlin flags flying. The fish were ranging from 50 to 180 pounds and live bait was the key. Few fish came in on the artificials, most of them were sighted tailing and had live bait tossed at them. If that didnt work, a dead bait was dropped back. If the fish were not interested in that, a dead bait was thrown in front of the fish with no hook or line attached. Most of the time they would go for that one, then light up and eat the next one with a hook in it. Ah, great fishing and no long runs to get to the grounds! Now, if the fish just hold here close for a few more weeks we should have great action as the moon goes to the new phase!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Tuna fishing has been on the back burner this week as the fish that have been around, and there have not been many of them, have mostly been small football sized fish (literally). Most of the action has been up on the Pacific side in Porpoise and the action has been sketchy. The best catch I heard of was 14 footballs, and the water was not in the best of condition that day. Small feathers in dark colors took honors this week, a change from the red ones that worked best last week.
DORADO: Scattered fish ranging in size from 10 to 35 pounds provided some action this week for anglers lucky enough to get hooked up. Most of the fish were found near shore mixed in with the Striped Marlin, but I understand there was some fair action farther up the Sea of Cortez off of Punta Gorda and Vinorama. The fish were found either in the open under Frigate birds, or under floating debris. Best action was on smaller Marlin lures in Bleeding Mackerel or Dorado colors, and of course, on live bait dropped back on hooking up with a lure accounted for approximately 20% of the second fish caught.
WAHOO: Again the bite has dropped off a bit, but there are still fish being found out there. While not specifically structure orientated, the best results have been close to shore and off the Banks. Of course, this may be because this is where the Marlin action has been and there have been a lot of boats working these areas! Most of the fish have been between 40 and 60 pounds, with an occasional fish to 90 pounds being caught.
INSHORE: There was no change in the inshore action this week, with the exception that the Sierra bite dropped off as the inshore waters warmed up, and the Roosterfish bite picked up. The Roosterfish are still small, most of them are between 5 and 15 pounds and they were being caught on small Caballito slow trolled just outside the first breaker. The best action was had on the Pacific side between the arches and Cabo Falso. There were some nice Jack Crevalle hooked up as well and for those willing to get in close to the rocks, some great Pargo were found ranging from 15 to 35 pounds, they had a preference for live Caballito.
NOTES: My apologies to everyone for last weeks report being either late or not getting out at all. And there were a few of you who received multiple copies! I just hope that this weeks report does not suffer the same problem. We had our computer crash and could not get on line; hopefully by the time Mary gets this for posting, the problem will have been resolved. Thanks so very much to all of you who e-mailed and were concerned about the reason; both of us are just fine! This weeks report was written to the country music of Vince Gill on his 1991 MCA release Pocket Full Of Gold. I felt a little bit country this week! Until next week, Tight Lines!
