Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

Mar 5, 2009; 05:22PM - Meat Stock Cube Chemical Lure
|
Category: Fishing tips and tricks

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.

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT SEPTEMBER 20-26, 2004
WEATHER: The weather this week was just awesome, that about the best way to put it. Our humidity was down, our high temperatures were in the low to mid 90’s, nights were in the high 70’s and there was just enough of a breeze that things stayed cool. At least it was cool if you were not hunkered down in the engine room wrenching on stuff! I saw a lot of that this week as boats were getting ready for the tournaments coming up. We had partly cloudy skies early in the week and that helped things a lot also.
WATER: In an unexpected change of conditions, the water on the Sea of Cortez side of the Cape was actually cooler by a few degrees than the Pacific side at the end of this week. Between Cabo and San Jose we were seeing water temps in the 83 degree range and on the Pacific side around the San Jaime and the Golden Gate Banks there was mostly 85-88 degrees. There was a small temperature break to the south of the cape around 20 miles that seemed to have some fish concentrated but otherwise things were really spread out. The surface conditions were great this week with just a slight swell and very little wind.
BAIT: No change in bait availability this week, the normal summer Caballito at $2 per bait and some Mullet as well.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Marlin and Sailfish cooperated this week as conditions continue to improve. There were plenty of Sailfish to be found and often small packs of them would attack the spread. Striped Marlin showed themselves as well and live bait seemed to be the key for them. Blue Marlin appeared in the spread on almost every trip this week but bites were a little more difficult to come by. The Sailfish action was almost all on the Pacific side with most of the action around the temperature break to the south of the lighthouse and also close to shore up inside the Golden Gate area. Blue Marlin were almost everywhere but not in any concentration, they were found from the Gorda Banks to the Golden Gate Banks and well offshore as well as in close.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: It was a good week for Yellowfin Tuna and it was a bit of a toss-up as to which fish would take my fish of the week award, the Yellowfin or the Dorado. I saw Tuna flags on almost every boat that returned to the Marina this week and some of the fish were beauties! Many boats were able to get into triple digit fish if they were the first to the Porpoise and some of them got multiple hook-ups. These fish were found offshore as well as just a few miles off of the lighthouse near the ledge drop-off. Fish in the #18-#35 range were more common though and they could be found near the temperature break 20 miles south. Football size Yellowfin to #10-#12 could be found nearer shore, sometimes as close as a half mile, and almost all of them were on the Pacific side.
DORADO: The inshore fish this week ran between #10 and #25 on the Pacific side and the key was to watch the Frigate birds at the beginning of the week and work the Turtles at the end of the week. Off shore the fish were larger and fish in the #50-#60 were not uncommon. Of course, for multiple hook-ups live bait dropped behind a fish hooked on a lure often resulted in great action. The offshore fish were scattered but almost all of them came from the Pacific side.
WAHOO: There were a lot more Wahoo caught this week than last week and about 50% of the boats at least had a Wahoo strike. The areas near drop offs seemed to show a bit more promise as the fish came in, and that was making it worth putting in a bit of effort at the edges of the Banks and ledges. Most of the fish were between #20 and #50 with a few larger ones in the #80 range being boated by a few lucky anglers.
INSHORE: Skipjack, Yellowfin, Dorado and Sailfish provided action for the Panga fishermen this week. There were not very many Roosterfish caught, but the ones that were found were really nice sized, going to #50 on the high end and #30 on the low. Bottom fishing improved as well with a good variety of Snapper and Grouper being caught on large live baits as well as cut bait.
NOTES: The fishing continues to improve as does my golf game (hahaha, a joke, come on, I shot a 153 last week, and no, that was not for 36 holes!). At least the fishing is getting better and we are looking forward to the Blue Marlin bite turning on. We know the water is just right as there are a large number of Turtles to be found on the Pacific side, and every year I have been here that has been a good indicator of a great Marlin bite about to happen. Keep checking and I’ll try and let you know how it is going. Until next week, tight lines!
