| 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:
Here’s a fishing story.
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation
took place:
First guy:
’You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this
weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the
house next weekend.’
Second guy:
’That is nothing, I had to promise my wiife that I will build her a new
deck for the pool.’
Third guy:
’Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will
remodel the kitchen for her.’
They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not
said a word. So they asked him.!
’You haven’t said anything about what you had to do to be able to come
fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?’
Fourth guy:
’I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm,
gave the wife a nudge and said, ’Fishing or Sex’ and she said, ’Wear a
sweater.’

Cabo Fish Report
April 3-9, 2006
WEATHER: Sunny skies all week long except on Saturday when we had a fairly strong cloud cover, daytime highs in the mid 80s and nighttime lows in the high 60s and we had no rain. There was a bit of wind from the NW in the mornings but most days it died of in the afternoon.
WATER: We had a definite split in the water situation this week with the water on the Pacific side of the Cape being considerably cooler that that on the Cortez side. On the Pacific we saw temperatures from 65-69 degrees with the warmer water being very close to shore right at the Cape and in a warm plume that ran across the San Jaime Bank from the south. On the Cortez side the water was much warmer with most of it 72-76 degrees. The warmest water was a ridge that ran from just to the north of the Outer Gorda Banks and then south across the 95 spot. There was a very strong temperature and color division in the water 10-20 miles directly south of us; the break was 69 degrees to the west and 74 degrees to the east across a distance of about 1 mile. The water on the cold side was also very green.
BAIT: This past week there were Caballito available at the usual $2 per bait, some small Mackerel and on a couple of days, Sardinas at $20 a scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: There are still a few Swordfish being found in the cold, green water on the Pacific side and directly south, but they have been hard to get hooked up too. There has been the on-off Striped Marlin taking place again with one day being great and the next sucking. One boat could release five fish on Tuesday and then go 0 for 12 on Wednesday when the fish would not open their mouths. The fish are out there but sometimes they just wont eat! Most boats are seeing plenty of fish, on occasion 20 or more on a trip and all the fish have been found on the Cortez side with most of them between 15 and 30 miles out to the SE and East. Dark colored lures and rigged dead baits have produced the best results since it seems the fish are stuffing themselves on squid.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: What Tuna? I havent seen a Yellowfin of over 15 pounds in a month or so. There have been a few small footballs caught just a couple of miles off of the beach on the Cortez side but not in any numbers. There are still Purse Seiners out at the Jaime Bank area, and you can see one of the Super Seiners (with the helicopter on it) looking very loaded and anchored in San Lucas bay. If they are around there has to be fish out there, but no one has been able to find them yet. Maybe they are all inside the holds of the Seiners?
DORADO: A few scattered fish have been reported in the 40-50 pound class this week but for the most part the fish have been considerably smaller as well as fairly scarce. Those that have been found have come from the warm water on the Cortez side of the Cape, and up around the Punta Gorda area has seemed to produce the best action. While not consistent in a day-to-day manner, it has been consistent over the week.
WAHOO: The Wahoo are biting better according to friends of mine. One Captain caught a #70 fish on Friday and a #60 on Saturday while the boat directly behind me caught one about #60 on Saturday. These fish were caught at the 95 spot (2) and 30 miles to the SE (1). I saw other Wahoo flags as well so there is the possibility that they were not all for Sierra.
INSHORE: Sierra, small Roosterfish, Bonita and Skipjack as well as the occasional Yellowtail continue to make the inshore fishing the way to go for action. Best results have been either right at the Arch, up the Pacific at Los Arcos and on the Cortez side in front of Cabo Real. Sardines have resulted in the best action but small Caballito and Mackerel worked also.
NOTES: Once again I wrote a report to a Mark Knopfler soundtrack, this time the 2000 Mercury release to the movie A Shot At Glory. Keeping our fingers crossed for better fishing in the near future, until next week, tight lines!
