Tip&Trick Description 1:
MEAT STOCK CUBE CHEMICAL LURE
This started off by being an applied science project in school linked to fishing for predatory species. I am happy for anyone to try it out. It takes some preparation but is worth the experiment. You can use it for river, lake or sea fishing from a bank, beach, pier or boat. Use the strongest line you have for dragging. Have a camera to get evidence of your catch.
First get your meat stock cubes – the red varieties are the best imitation of the fluids that leak from wounded prey. They are much cheaper if bought in the large boxes and cost even less if you can get them put on someone else’s shopping list.
You also need a pair of tights or stockings so ask nicely – particularly if someone is wearing them at the time!
Cut the tights/stockings up into 10cm (4in) squares and put them onto a flat surface.
Take the foil wrapping off of each stock cube being careful not to crumble it and place one centrally onto each square of the tights/stockings.
Tie the four corners of the material together into a firm knot – a test of your dexterity – you may need to use bigger squares at first and trim them up afterwards.
Then tie a length of line inside the knot of each lure bag leaving plenty of spare to attach to the eye on your lure. Store your bags in a waterproof and crushproof container.
When you are ready to fish attach a bag to the eye of your lure making sure that you tie the knot so that a used bag can be easily removed from the eye but cannot slip off during movement underwater. A pair of fine scissors will useful to do the cutting during bag changing. Dispose of used bags and line responsibly please – not into the water or onto the site.
Keep safe – wear a lifejacket if you are fishing on or by deep water. Keep yourself warm and waterproof. Do not fish on your own – it is safer with others. Let someone know where you are going and have a means of contacting him or her.

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
October 6, 2019
Anglers –
The busy fall season has already
started, we saw much larger crowds of
anglers arriving and this will continue
through November. Last week we were
all closely watching the development
and progress of Tropical Storm Norda,
we ended up being very fortunate as
this system stayed along the mainland
and never made much impact at all on
Southern Baja, just a few sprinkles
and cloud cover and of course increased
tropical humidity. Weather patterns
are changing progressively now, cooler
mornings, though high temperatures
are still around 90 degrees. Forecast
looks clear for now, which is a
relief for all of the vising anglers
and fleet operators as well,
Calm ocean now, with very slight
breezes, water temperature in the 83/84
degree range and clear blue water close
to shore. Bait has consisted of
sardinas, being netted near the marina
jetty areas, also some caballito,
ballyhoo and slabs of squid available.
Main fishing grounds being
concentrated on have been from Palmilla
Pint to Iman Bank and in between.
The action for yellowfin tuna slowed
way down, as more black skipjack were
schooling on the same tuna grounds,
early in the week a handful of
yellowfin up to 70 lb. were landed, but
after that it was more dorado and
wahoo which were dominating the action,
though over the weekend the tuna
action did seem to start back up near
the Iman bank, as several yellowfin
tuna in the 40 to 60 lb. class were
accounted for.. A new group of dorado
moved in, especially off of the
Palmilla Point, where limits were the
rule
for fish of 10 to 20 lb., they were
striking on a variety of trolling lures
as well as baits. Inspectors are now
regularly checking limits, so make
sure to not go over your two fish limit
of dorado.
Wahoo became more active as well, areas
to the north of Punta Gorda, as
well as off of Palmilla produced wahoo
to over 40 lb., trolling Rapalas
accounted for the majority of strikes,
some charters accounted for up to
three ‘hoo, which is good for this
early in the season.
We heard of some larger sized bull
dorado on the Pacific, up to 40 lb.,
though no big numbers at all. Also we
heard of a handful of cow sized
yellowfin tuna being encountered
offshore traveling with porpoise, we
expect to start seeing these large tuna
to make their way towards the Gordo
Banks soon, as they are running behind
schedule this year.
Not much going off the bottom, though
there were a few amberjack in the 50
lb. class landed, also a selection or
pargo, cabrilla, bonito, pompano and
triggerfish. Current has slacked, so
maybe that will help improve bottom
action, though most anglers now have
preferred to target the surface
species.
Billfish action out of San Jose del
Cabo was scattered, a few sailfish and
striped marlin being the main deal,
found on the same grounds such as Iman
Bank.
*T*he combined sportfishing fleet
launching out of the panga area from
Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out an
estimated 102 charters for the week and
anglers reported an approximate fish
count of: 3 sailfish, 5 striped
marlin, 32 yellowfin tuna, 325 dorado,
26 wahoo, 12 leopard grouper, 14
Mexican bonito, 16 yellow snapper, 12
big eye jack, 12 barred pargo, 8
pompano, 5 sierra, 9 amberjack and 75
triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
