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. |

Anglers -
Spring break tourist activity seemed to have slowed some, even though the
actual local Easter Holiday week does not begin until mid month. Weather
has been nearly perfect, highs in the low 80s, there has been scattered
cloud cover, burning off as the days progressed. Winds were moderate,
mostly from the east and switching from the south, ocean temperature now
averaged in the 70 to 75 degree range, a slight drop from last week, but
still warmer than normal for early April. Quite a few whale sightings
continue, despite this now being late season for these mammals, the
majority have already began their northern migration.
Offshore , anglers found hit or miss action for the billfish, spread out,
no concentrations of baitfish to attract any big numbers of striped marlin,
fish were found further offshore some days and then as close as two miles
to shore on others, clarity of water varied with the flowing currents.
Dorado were found every day, though only in small groups, more of these
fish were within several miles of shore, this is where half beak schools
(ballyhoo) have been schooling. Weights averaged 10 to 15 pounds.
No yellowfin tuna to speak of, except an odd fish up to 30 pounds, being
hooked into while working high spots with yo-yo jigs, from Iman to San Luis
Bank. The most common catch were the Eastern Pacific bonito, striking
readily on the iron jigs, ranging 3 to 10 lb. There was more porpoise
activity now being seen offshore, though not many yellowfin were being
reported. Early morning proved to be the best time for fishing over the
rock piles, mixed in with the feisty bonito, were a handful of quality
snapper, amberjack and cabrilla. Yellowtail action has been very spotty,
most of the fish we have seen were nice 25 to 35 lb. A couple of these hogs
were even hooked into while drifting live baits just outside of the Marina
Jetty entrance.
This whole year has been abnormal, with warmer winter weather and ocean
water temperature, enough so, where tropical pelagic species such as wahoo
and dorado have remained in local waters throughout the winter and into the
spring. Everyday there have been reports of wahoo being either hooked into,
seen free swimming, or actually landed, most of this wahoo action was found
from Punta Gorda and north along the ledges, towards Vinormama. A couple of
fifty pound plus wahoo were accounted for, most of the 'hoo landed were in
the 20 to 30 pound class.
Close to shore there were lots of powerful jack crevalle moving in, also
some juvenile sized roosterfish and sierra. This action could be wide open
with sardinas, but none of these smaller baitfish have been available in
recent months, with the main bait source now being either live caballito or
rigged ballyhoo. We did see one 12 pound snook caught right off of the
panga dock area, this fish hit on a live bait.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 84 charters for this past week, with anglers
accounting for a fish count of: 6 striped marlin, 9 wahoo, 6 yellowfin
tuna, 8 yellowtail, 17 amberjack, 80 dorado, 28 jack crevalle, 48 sierra,
22 roosterfish, 580 bonito, 15 cabrilla and 32 misc. pargo.
Good fishing, Eric
