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 SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT NEW YEARS WEEKEND, 2005
WEATHER: Welcome to the New Year! This weeks report will be brief as there is a lot on my plate at the start of the year. Our weather was a bit unusual for this time of year as we had mostly cloudy skies during the middle of the week with some actual rain falling on Wednesday night. Not a lot, but it was enough to knock the dust off of everything in most parts of Cabo. The rest of the week was partly to mostly cloudy with night time lows in the mid 60’s and day time highs in the low 80’s.
WATER: The water this week seemed to be fairly const6ant throughout our cruising range with temperatures in the 74-75 degree range predominate. There was no defined temperature break but there were a few areas where the water was a degree or two warmer. Surface conditions on the Pacific side got a bit rough in the afternoons when a westerly wind would spring up, sometimes from the northwest and sometimes from the southwest. The Sea of Cortez side of the cape was consistently calm, except when the wind was from the southwest and on Sunday when a strong East-Northeast wind came up. Then we whd some very choppy water on the Cortez side.
BAIT: This week the bait was a mix of Caballito and Mackerel. They have been the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: A friend of mine caught a #500 Blue Marlin this week 33 miles to the south of the cape in 77 degree water! Just goes to show you never know when the big boy (or girl) will show up! Nice fish Dan! The Striped Marlin bite has been sporadic as the fish move first one way then another. There was fairly consistent action out near the San Jaime Banks this week and there were a lot of sleepers found. The fish that were tailing were moving fast and it took concentration to get a bait in front of them. The bite seemed to be mainly on live bait, but some of the fish came to dark colored lures. Dan’s big fish was on a blue/silver lure though, so you never know.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Scattered football fish to 25 pounds under porpoise on the Sea of Cortez side less than 5 miles from shore during the middle of the week ended up in some fish boxes this week, but over all the Yellowfin action was a bit slow. Some fish were reported from almost all areas this week, but there was no steady bite, and no really large fish have been showing up yet.
DORADO: Dorado action moved away from the cape this week with most of the fish being found at lest 15 miles up either coast. On the Pacific side there was a good bite taking place inside the Golden Gate Banks and one day, Friday, there was a chunk of floating wood found 8 miles farther north that held quite a nice load of fish. On the Cortes side, the action was off of the Westin and slowly moved up toward Punta Gorda. Most of the fish were small but there were enough fish over 20 pounds to make a good fight and a decent stock for the house.
WAHOO: Very few Wahoo were caught this week, and those that were found were incidental fish in the 30-40 pound class, close to shore on the Cortez side.
INSHORE: Inshore fishing remained slow this week but there are some Sierra beginning to show up. A few small scattered Roosterfish (and one at 35 pounds) were caught by clients on a Panga fishing the Pacific coast this week. Jack Crevalle, Snapper and Pompano round up the major species caught next to the beach and most of the Pangas have been heading out a bit farther looking for Dorado and Striped Marlin.
NOTES: Happy New Year and may this one be even better than the last! May all the fish you hook be big ones! Until next week, Tight Lines!
