Tip&Trick Description 1:
I recently learned this from an old Hawaiian fishing
book a friend loaned to me.
<>
<>When fishing for dolphin take a gallon jug attached to 20 feet of aid or dacron with a 2 ounce egg sinker sliding on it, connect to a swivel and then 6-10 feet of mono or fluro and a 6/0 circle hook.
<>
<>When you start hooking dolphin in the spread, throw the jug overboard baited with a chunk of fish, squid or small live-bait, being careful not to tangle your trolling lines. As you play out the already hooked fish, inevitably another dolphin takes the jug bait.
<>
<>This prevents you from losing the shoal whilst fighting the trolled fish and you also get several followers to cast to around the milk jug that you can go back to once you landed the first fish.
<>
<>Use a gaff to retrieve the jug/fish through the jug handle.
<>
<>Have tried it twice now and it worked like a charm both times, resulting in much more sport and fish on the grill.. Not sure if there are 'rules or regulations' against such things in the USA though.. |

San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
November 25, 2018
Lots of tourists now visiting the Los
Cabos region for this Thanksgiving
Holiday week. We felt more wind this
week, blowing out of the north, as well
as from the south, this contributed to
rougher ocean conditions for anglers,
at times limiting options and
opportunities. Water temperatures were
in the 78 to 81 degree range. Crowds of
anglers were slightly less than
previous weeks, due to tougher
conditions and it being the time we see
a decline in anglers, as there usually
is between holiday periods.
Overall the fishing was more scattered,
off on the Pacific banks there was
incredible wide open action for striped
marlin, not seen like this for many
years. All the way from Mag Bay, to
Finger and Golden Gate Banks, more than
20 marlin per charter was reported.
Fleets from Puerto Los Cabos Marina
were mainly fishing the grounds from
the Gordo Banks, to Iman and San Luis,
as far north as Vinorama. These areas
were producing yellowfin tuna, dorado
and wahoo.
The tuna action was less productive
this most recent period, north winds
made drift fishing even more
challenging, being swept off the spot
so fast and then having to reset. Full
moon period also never seems to help
the yellowfin tuna action, though tuna
were still being caught every day, but
more like a one, two or three per boat
average. Sizes ranging from small
footballs, to 40 to 80 lb. and there
were also two yellowfin tuna over 200
pounds landed this week, one a 208 lb.
and the other 247 lb.
Wahoo were striking on the grounds from
Iman to Vinorama, the best odds for
enticing strikes was on slow trolled
baits, such as caballito and chihuil,
some ‘hoo were also taken on higher
speed trolling lures, sizes ranged from
10 to 40 lb. No huge numbers, but some
more fortunate anglers landed as many
as four or five wahoo, other anglers
lost that many strikes without landing
one, that is how wahoo fishing can go.
We look for this bite to improve in
coming weeks, as crowds and heavy boat
pressure lighten, should be a great
December.
Early in the week we saw more dorado
action, particular later in the morning
just south of Punta Gorda, this is
where bait schools were attracting
hungry schools of dorado, boats
arriving on this scene were quickly
able to limit out on nice quality fish
as large as 20 lb.
Surprisingly roosterfish were still
roaming the shoreline, most of these
were smaller juvenile fish, fun sport
on light tackle and please remember to
always catch and carefully release
these game fish. We heard of at least
one snook being landed off of the beach
in front of Marriott Resort.
Very little bottom action done this
week, winds and currents made this
tough, there were plenty of triggerfish
on the Iman Banks, made it tough to
battle through these in order to have a
chance at the finicky tuna.
The combined panga fleets launching out
of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos Marina
sent out approximately 162 charters for
the week. Anglers reported a fish count
of: 3 striped marlin, 4 sailfish, 115
dorado, 84 wahoo, 125 yellowfin tuna,
18 bonito, 22 white skipjack, 15 red
snapper, 8 yellow snapper, 11 cabrilla,
6 sierra, 16 roosterfish and 140
triggerfish.
Good fishing, Eric
