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! |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
September 29, 2019
Anglers –
Last week we were preoccupied with the
progression of Hurricane Lorena,
though the Los Cabos area ended up not
getting hit very hard at all, as
this small but the powerful system
changed direction and followed a path
towards the East Cape, where they felt
more substantial impact. Local
marinas were shut down for three days
over the weekend, reopening on Monday
morning. We are still seeing light
crowds of visitors, though within a
couple of weeks that will all change.
The weather is now transitioning,
noticeably cooler in the mornings,
though daytime highs are near 90
degrees
and it even feels warmer when you
combine the humidity heat index. Ocean
water temperature is now in the 82 to
84 degree range, still favorable for
storm activity. Weather is now very
tropical, can be unpredictable,
presently we are watching a new low
pressure area forming near Acapulco,
which has a good chance to become
Tropical Storm Narda, we will watch
what
happens with this in coming days. With
limited numbers of anglers in town,
most charters were now fishing the
grounds from Iman to Vinorama. Sardinas
were found off the beach stretches
north of Vinorama for the first part of
the week before scattering, over the
weekend the bait vendors searched for
sardinas schooling back near the marina
jetty.
The all-around action was spotty
through much of the week, as water
conditions had turned over and were off
colored, also there was a very
strong current sweeping through. As the
week progressed conditions
rebounded and reports were much better
for the weekend. Yellowfin tuna and
dorado were the most common species, an
occasional billfish or wahoo, also
a mix of bottom dwellers.
Drift fishing with sardinas, strips of
squid, chunks of skipjack or bolito
was the main method for enticing the
yellowfin, fish ranged in sizes from
15 to 75 lb. Bite was still a bit
scratchy, but some charters did account
for up to five tuna. Dorado numbers
were down from how they had been, found
in scattered schools, hard to find one
much larger than ten lb., so many of
the smaller dorado were released, as
anglers tried to fill out their two
fish limit with nicer sized specimens.
With the strong currents running that
did not help the bottom action, hard
to stay down, fish do not like battling
that either. We did see a few
smaller amberjack, leopard grouper,
yellow snapper, barred pargo, bonito
and triggerfish.
*T*he combined sportfishing fleet
launching out of the panga area from
Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out an
estimated 59 charters for the week and
anglers reported an approximate fish
count of: 1 black marlin, 2 blue
marlin, 3 striped marlin, 145 dorado,
10 wahoo, 74 yellowfin tuna, 11
leopard grouper, 18 Mexican bonito, 12
yellow snapper, 6 rainbow runner, 8
barred pargo, 4 pompano, 4 amberjack, 6
rainbow runner and 35 triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
