Author Name: John Szymanski

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Simple Stowage of StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever for more deck Space.
Most pole type lure retrievers are thick, bulky and rigid. StrikeBack is made of 1.5 metre fibreglass rods able to be connected together, each 8 or 10 mm in diameter, depending on the version.
Once you have your StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever at the boat; loctite the first two sections and slide the retriever in the gunwale rail on many aluminium boats, or attach a length of conduit along the inside of the boat. Your StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retriever is now stowed neatly as it has flexiblity to fit the contour of your the hull. Deck space is valuable, keep it clear. |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JANUARY 6-12, 2002
WEATHER: This weeks weather was a little
different than last weeks. Most of the week we
had cloudy skies that kept our nighttime
temperatures up in the low 70�s and high 60�s
while our
daytime highs were in the high 80�s with high
humidity. Not quite the winter weather we had
become used to. On Tuesday it even rained
(sprinkled actually) for a few hours. Forecasts
had
called for thunderstorms and high winds but the
never appeared, than goodness. On Sunday it
appeared that the skies had cleared a bit and we
got some sun, the band of heavy weather is now
passing to the south! (Tropical Lady)
WATER: Due to the cloud cover we had a difficult
time getting an accurate surface temperature
map, but we made do with reports from all the
different boats out there. A cold water finger was
reported (and actually showed up on the map on our
one clear day!) approaching the San Jaime
Banks from the west and supposedly there was a 4
degree temperature break with a defined
current where the warm 76 degree water was met by
the cool 72 degree water. On the Sea of
Cortez side there was a 20 mile wide band of warm
water that ran from the main mass to the
south of us up across the 95, 1150 and Gordo banks.
Other than these two defined areas, the
general temperature was in the 74 degree range. (E
Piko)
BAIT: A good mix this week of both Mackerel and
Caballito. The normal price of $2 each. No
reports on the Sardine situation. (Baby Blues)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The Striped Marlin action started off
the week with a bang and then slowly the
numbers decreased. There were still fish sighted
and hooked every day by all the boats but not in
the numbers we had seen at the beginning of the
week when it was not uncommon for each boat
to be flying three or four Marlin flags. The Sea
of Cortes around the high spots seemed to be the
main focus of the action although an occasional
good bite was reported from the Pacific banks as
well. Action seemed to be pretty evenly spread
between lures and live bait with live bait having a
slight edge. The Striped Marlin were averaging 110
pounds. (Red, Red Wine)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Lots of football and school
Yellowfin Tuna this week mixed in with the
Porpoise and there were a few of the larger fish
found as well. Most of the Tuna in the Porpoise
were in the 10-25 pound class and were caught on
feathers and cedar plugs while the larger fish
were found by boats dropping live bait on the edge
of the Pacific banks. Very good action early
in the week when we had all the cloud cover and it
tapered off a bit later on as the skies cleared.
DORADO: Dorado action dropped off a bit from the
steady bite we had last week but almost
every boat was able to put a few in the box. The
fish were spread out with no concentration
except for when floating debris was found. Both he
Pacific and the Cortez side of the Cape
produced fish with a few more being found on the
Cortez side. (Nobody�s Child)
WAHOO: There was a good Wahoo bite reported on
Friday around 15 miles to the east of the
Marina but it lasted only one day and appeared to
be the result of a school moving through.
There were also fish reported on the San Jaime and
the Golden gate but not in large numbers.
Best action came on 9� Striped Marlin lures since
that was the focus for most of the boats in
those areas. (Crazy)
INSHORE: The Sierra bite is still on in the early
morning but not a lot else has changed since last
week. A few Dorado are being found just off the
green water but not a lot else in happening
inshore. (Reggae Train)
NOTES: We are still keeping our fingers crossed
that the Striped Marlin that were packed on the
Golden gate move closer to us. Still a lot of
Whale action and we are seeing a pickup in the
Tuna. Fingers are crossed everywhere I look that
it will bust wide open soon! I�ll let you know
how we did this coming week next Monday! Until
then, Tight Lines! This weeks report was
written to the Hawaiian reggae music of �Kapena�
on their 1992 KDE Records release �The
Kapena Collection�.
