| 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. |

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JUNE 24-30, 2002
WEATHER: Daytime highs have been up to 92 degrees and nighttime have been as low as 68 degrees. We had pretty gusty winds out of the west early in the week but now things have mellowed out quite a lot. Scattered high clouds have kept the temperature down a bit in the mornings. (Rocky Mountain Way) WATER: The first part of the week saw very choppy water on the Pacific side of the Cape but as warm water approached the winds laid down and it got quite nice. There was a shift in the water this week. We started off with the Pacific side very cold out to 35 miles, that is where it warmed up to 71-71 degrees. The Sea of Cortez was nice, the temps there were around 72 degrees just up the coast 10 miles. As of today the water on the Pacific side is cool only out three miles, then it warms up to 70. Out 10 miles it warms to 72-73 degrees and starts getting nice and blue. The Cortez side of the Cape now has a band of cold water in the 67-69 range all the way up the coast to the East Cape. Here in Cabo it is 25 miles to the warm water, up the coast it is 5 miles out of Los Frailles. The Pacific lived up to its name the last three days of the week with low swells and very little wind. (Turn To Stone)
BAIT: The normal mix of Caballito and Mackerel at the normal price of $2 per bait. (County Fair)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: This week if you wanted a Marlin you had quite a run to get to the area. 95% of the Marlin caught were found on the Sea of Cortez side of the Cape and you did not find them until you were 6 miles or more to the east of Gorda Banks. This meant a run of 30 miles. There were a few caught on the Pacific side but again, they were a long distance away, 30 miles. When you did find them, there were a lot of them. This week most of the action for marlin came from live bait. There were a few Blue Marlin hooked up this week so our fingers are crossed that things will begin to pick up! (Meadows)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: The only places I heard reports of Yellowfin caught were in Dolphin pods.
There were a few found on both the Pacific and the Cortez but what action there was happened mainly on the Cortez, and it was sparse. The fish were footballs, most less than 20 pounds and were fooled with small 4 and 6 feathers in dark colors. (Ill Tell The World About You)
DORADO: A few scattered Dorado up to 60 pounds in size were found on the Cortez side from the same areas where the Marlin were caught. Most of the Dorado action came in the Pacific waters out around the San Jaime Banks. Patches of Kelp, some of them 50 in diameter, drifted around and held a large number of fish. The first boats to find them this week had outstanding action with fish averaging 30 pounds. A few days later the average was down to 15 pounds and they were getting bite shy. Live bait appeared to be the ticket for the toads and the chickens would hit almost anything tossed or trolled past them. Other than the Kelp patches there were only a few fish caught. (Days Gone By)
WAHOO: A few were found under the Kelp on the Pacific side at the Jaime Banks. A live bait rigged with a stinger hook on wire leader and a two ounce egg sinker on the main line worked for a couple of fish. The bait was placed down 50 feet while still100 yards away from the Kelp, then drifted to the patch. The Kelp fish were the only ones I heard of this week. (Wolf)
INSHORE: The Sea of Cortez side was slow all week for inshore action. Not much of a bite going on for anything, but there were reports of a few Roosterfish and Sierra. The Pacific side managed to get a good bite going on Red Snapper as the congregated close to the rocks in spawning aggregations. Small live baits or 4 Rapalas got some of them to bite but many more were lost in the rocks than were landed. A few small Dorado (lost fish?) were caught and there was a little bit of a Sierra bite early in the week. (Welcome To The Club)
NOTES: We were seeing lots of Purse Seiners transiting the area this week and a few of them made circles around us as we fished the Kelp patches at the San Jaime. Just checking them out as I was marking no Tuna under them. The Kelp did have lots of Turtles resting in them. It looks like things will pick up this week as the warm water on the Pacific moves in. Our fingers are crossed (again!) that the Blue Marlin and the Dorado will come on strong. Oh, dont forget the Tuna! Till next week, Tight Lines!
