| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Muddy Water Baits
By Steve VonBrandt
Nothing ruins the occasional fishing trip more than driving a long distance to your favorite spot, only to find out its been raining for the last few weeks and the water is the color of Chocolate milk! Many years ago, I was like most weekend anglers, and would immediately try to find another lake or river that might be a little more clear, or just turn around and go home. But I found over the last 20 years, that it isnt necessary to give up so quickly on muddy water.
There are many times when a creek arm, or a certain portion of the lake or river isnt as muddy, or there is a transition zone where it goes from muddy to stained, which can be a good area, but, even if there is no clearer water, there are many things you can do. Most gamefish react the same way to muddy water, they go shallow and they move closer to structure. This could mean a lot of different types of structure, such as brushpiles, laydowns, rocks, stump fields, pads on shallow flats, anything! When the bas are holding tight to cover, because of low visibility, the lure presentations sometimes need to be precise, such as when flipping a log or tree roots with a jig. Bellow are the 6 basic choices you should have rigged for fishing muddy waters.
Plastic Worms: I know this sounds like a strange choice, but a lot of times when bass are holding real tight to cover, a larger, bulkier worm, with some rattle inserted, possibly with a paddle tail, worked real close in the cover, can work well. I used a black or a black/red combination in muddy water. I also use the new Big 7 inch Senko that is out now, and drop it right into heavier cover. I have been using the new Cut-Tail worm for this also.
Vibrating Rattlers: These baits such as the Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap, Cotton Bordell, Diamond Shad, or the Rattlin Rapalas, are excellent choices for probing different depths of muddy water, and where muddy changes to stained. The noise and vibrations of these baits, along with a realistic shad shape, make these great baits and stained to muddy water.
Crankbaits: I use a lot of the real fat bodied crankbaits in muddy water. I choose different baits with a wide wobble, and sometimes rattles. I usually stay with darker colors with red in muddy water. These colors with a wide wobble, are easier for bass to find.
Spinnerbaits: The bass will be using their lateral line more in the muddy water, so a spinnerbait with a heavy pulse such as a Terminator night bait, with a black skirt, and Colorado blade, is a perfect choice. You could even add rattles to this bait, which I have had success with in the muddy rivers and lakes in the Northeast. I always use a single Colorado blade on the spinner baits in muddy water, but in stained, or warmer stained water, I do go to an Oklahoma Blade sometimes with good results.
Topwaters: These are my favorite baits to use in muddy water. There are so many baits that shallow, muddy water bass will hit! The buzzbait worked slowly around cover will draw tremendous strikes. The walking type baits, such as a Zara Spook, and Fenwick walking baits, Jitterbugs, Crazy Crawlers, and a variety of other topwaters, including poppers with rattles, are excellent and exciting choices for muddy water bass. The bass will all be in water that is 1-4 feet deep, eliminating a lot of the water, making them easier to catch!
Jigs: Jigs in Brown/Black or Blue/Black with a Zoom or uncle Josh trailer, with some rattles, are an excellent choice to flip into laydowns, and shallow stump fields, and of course on docks. Make repeated casts to give them a good look and provoke them.
If you stick with these baits and methods the next time you run into muddy water, you will never be afraid to see it again. It will become a friend, as it has become to me.

Gordo Banks Pangas
San Jose del Cabo
November 5, 2006
Anglers
Anglers were arriving in Los Cabos by the hundreds and excitement was in the air
with anticipation of the mega dollar Western Outdoor News Jackpot Tuna Tournament.
The weather was close to perfect, paradise like, clear sunny skies with high
temperatures in the upper 80s. Ocean water temperatures ranged from 82 to 84
degrees, only slight swells, there was some wind further offshore to deal with, but
overall conditions would have to be considered to be ideal. Live bait consisted of
sardinas, caballito and some mullet. The fishing action was good enough to satisfy
most anglers, though more variety would be a bonus, as the main catch recently has
been yellowfin tuna, as the water temperatures drops we do expect more species to
become active. Fleets were now spreading out more than in previous weeks, action has
ranged from the Pacific and into the Sea of Cortez, anywhere within one mile of
shore to as far out as fifty miles.
San Jose panga fleets were concentrating their efforts around the Gordo Banks, close
to shore off of La Playita to Punta Gorda and north to the Iman Bank. The incredible
bite for yellowfin tuna that has gone on for over three weeks now and has been
within paddling distance of the beach, straight out front of La Playita, is now
finally starting to taper off, though good numbers of tuna are still being seen,
they are just more shy and not so eager to bite. Catches this week on these inshore
tuna varied from 3 or 4 fish per boat up to a dozen and average sizes were in the 15
to 25 pound range.
Further offshore the cruiser fleet was finding some larger yellowfin tuna traveling
with porpoise, but so far this bite was hit or miss, though at times did produce
several quality-sized tuna. The Outer Gordo Bank was perhaps the most consistent
area to produce larger yellowfin tuna this past week, though the numbers of fish
landed was not huge, there were some world class specimens accounted for. On Monday,
Oct. 30 th, angler Mike Mahoney from Emeryville, Ca. was trolling with a live
skipjack from the panga Killer with Gordo Banks Pangas skipper Chame Pino when he
hooked into a monster sized fish that they battled for close to two hours on 80
pound tackle before finally bringing to gaff. Back at the beach the big yellowfin
was officially weighed in at 310 pounds. At least a couple of dozen other tuna were
also taken from the Gordo Banks this week that ranged form 75 to 210 pounds.
Dorado counts were down for how they normally would be at this time of year, but a
couple of very nice sized bulls were reported from the Pacific, one of 55 pounds and
another of 70 pounds. The dorado on the Sea of Cortez side were smaller sized,
anywhere from 5 to 20 pounds and not very numerous.
Wahoo continued to be scarce, but have shown signs of coming to life. On Saturday, a
panga fishing the Iman Bank had a quadruple hook up while trolling lures, though
they only landed two of the fish, which were in the 35 to 40 pound range, this was a
very encouraging sign that maybe these prized gamefish will start become more
active.
Other catches included a fluke 40-pound class roosterfish caught while bottomfishing
in 200 feet of water and a mix of smaller pargo species. Off the beach there were a
couple of nice sized snook landed off of the San Jose Estuary area, including one
40-pounder, sierra are biting early in the morning in the same area.
The combined panga fleets launching from La Playita beach sent out approximately 208
charters for the week with anglers accounting for a fish count of: 3 striped marlin,
8 sailfish, 12 wahoo, 92 dorado, 835 yellowfin tuna, 110 white skipjack, 6 dogtooth
snapper, 8 amberjack, 5 grouper, 16 cabrilla, 25 sierra, 2 roosterfish and 15
rainbow runners.
Good fishing, Eric
