Aug 9, 2023; 11:24PM - Interesting fish hook find

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Was shark meat a part of the cuisine in ancient Israel over 6,000 years ago? Archaeologists
have recently uncovered a significant clue suggesting so. In the archaeological site of
Ashkelon, one of the oldest copper fishhooks was found, shedding light on the past. This
fishhook, originating from an agricultural village during the Chalcolithic period, is believed
to have played a role in community-wide deep-sea fishing expeditions.
Ashkelon, a city layered with history, was constructed atop an ancient seaport bearing the same
name. Its roots extend as far back as ancient Egypt, with previous findings unearthing
structures from the Byzantine and Roman eras. The discovered hook measures approximately 6.5
centimeters in length and 4 centimeters in width. This size indicates its capacity to capture
marine creatures, including sharks measuring between 2 and 3 meters, or large fish like tuna—
both commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea.
Considering the insights marine biologists possess about the deep-sea ecosystems in this
region, it's plausible that sharks were a prime target for these fishing endeavors. |

San Jose del Cabo

Anglers –
Moderate crowds of tourists are not traveling to Southern Baja and they are
enjoying very pleasant conditions, clear sunny skies with high temperatures
reaching into the upper 80s. Within several weeks we will see summer heat
waves starting to arrive as the tropical season begins. Anglers have found
various options for a variety of species, from offshore, inshore and over
the rocky structure. Winds have been lighter than in previous weeks, though
there was a couple of days of gusty south wind over the weekend that pushed
in off colored currents and slowed the all around fishing action down for a
few days.
Now there is a warming trend once again, offshore conditions are
stabilizing, there is blue water being found within several miles of shore
and ocean temperatures have ranged from the upper 60s to upper 70s,
depending on location, warmest areas were further offshore and in the
direction of San Jose del Cabo and north towards Los Frailes. Sportfishing
fleets are searching all of the proven local fishing grounds, as they know
during this season anything can happen on any given day. Striped marlin
have been the most common offshore species found, scattered through the
zone from 5 to 25 miles offshore, they were striking on trolling lures, but
striking on live bait more readily. Striped marlin are running large this
season, many fish are in the 120 to 140 lb. range. Quite a few charters
were accounting were multiple billfish days, there were times when the
marlin would be spotted and presented baits and showed no interest at all,
this often happens when there is an abundance of squid in the area. The
stripers have been gorging on these squid, also the changing current and
moon phases can create different feeding habits. Dorado are spread
throughout the grounds as well, found inshore and offshore, most of the
time in small groups, not very numerous at this time, averaged size was 10
to 20 lb.
Caballito has been the most common baitfish available, still no source for
sardinas and mackerel were scarce, should start seeing more bolito and
skipjack showing up on the fishing grounds. Schooling mullet are now moving
into the region, they are always a preferred baitfish when trolling close
to shore. We have seen good numbers of roosterfish in recent weeks, these
fish have ranged in sizes to over 40 lbs., many of them weighing in the 20
lb. class. There have been schools of 20 to 30 pound jack crevalle roaming
the shoreline, aggressive and always ready to do battle. A handful of
dogtooth snapper are now being reported, it is the time we should see more
of these largest of snapper species moving along shore near the rocky
outcroppings. It will be time for anglers to break out their heaviest
tackle for these powerful pargo.
Schooling yellowtail remain in the area, action has been somewhat sporadic,
but they are definitely are holding on favored grounds, the yellows being
landed are mostly in the 20 to 35 pound class. The Gordo Banks has produced
some of the largest yellowtail seen this season. These fish were hooked
while drifting baits deep over the high spots and on yo-yo jigs,
occasionally they would make brief appearances on the surface. A handful of
red snapper were hooked into as well, both on live baits and on yo-yo jigs.
Leopard grouper, amberjack, bonito, barred pargo and triggerfish rounded
out the action found off the rock piles.
The combined local panga fleets launching from La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 84 charters this past week and anglers
reported a fish count of: 18 striped marlin, 6 mako shark, 4 wahoo, 27
yellowtail, 14 amberjack, 28 huachinango, 14 barred pargo, 26 leopard
grouper, 28 bonito,
38 dorado, 32 sierra, 7 dogtooth snapper, 26 jack crevalle and 125
roosterfish.
Good fishing, Eric
