Aug 8, 2004; 05:23AM - Stowage of StrikeBack Fishing Lure Retrievers

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 MAY 26 - MAY 31, 2003
WEATHER: Windy, windy, windy! All week long the wind has been blowing from the
west-northwest and starting on Tuesday night, it did not stop until Thursday early am. Now it has
started every day at noon and blown until around three am. Almost whitecaps in the Marina, and
during the middle of the week our early morning low was 58 degrees. Daytime highs have ranged
from 80 to 90 degrees. Clear skies most of the week with just a slight haze later on. (Grey
Walls)
WATER: The strong winds combined with an increase in strength of the California current
brought cold water into our area again, starting on Tuesday. This strong current forced water as
cold as 67 degrees across the 95 and 1150 spots on Tuesday. As the week wore on the cold
waters started to retreat and on the Cortez side of the Cape the nearshore waters warmed up to
71-72 degrees. As of the end of the week we have water temperature on the Pacific side of the
Cape at 61 degrees. (I Feel So Good)
BAIT: Mackerel was the bait of the week at the normal $2 per bait, and it was difficult to find
at times if you were one of the later boats out of the Marina. (Keep Your Distance)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Most of the Marlin action this week was on Striped Marlin though there was a
report of a Blue Marlin caught early in the week. Monday and Tuesday were good for Striped
Marlin with fish being found all over the place out at the 95 spot. It was not uncommon for 30
fish to be spotted on the surface during a trip, but bites were few and far between. Sometimes
trying a dead bait instead of a live one worked, or dropping the leader size down helped, but the
average hookup ratio was still one fish for every 10 baited. With the strong winds and cold water
starting on Tuesday afternoon, the fish disappeared although a few were still found close to shore
on the Cortez side. (You Dream Too Much)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Scattered action on Yellowfin as most of them have moved far out of
the day charter boats range. Private boats were reporting action at a distance of 70 miles to the
southeast. Football size fish were reported outside Red Hill and there were a few caught on
yo-yo’s just off the arch. (1932 Vincent Black Lightning)
DORADO: A few fish were caught at the beginning of the week and the catch rate dropped off
as the cold water moved in. Best results were had on bright colored lures and slow trolled live
bait. (Why Must I Plead)
WAHOO: There was a short, one day bite on Wahoo on Thursday as boats fishing the calmer
water off of Red Hill found a concentration of fish in the 30-40 pound class. Most of the fish
were lost due to monofiliment leaders on the lures, but as they hits were reported many of the
crews changed over to wire leaders and were able to hang on to a fish or two. (God Loves A
Drunk)
INSHORE: Two day of good Roosterfish at the beginning of the week changed as the cold
water moved in and in their place came Sierra and Yellowtail. The Pacific side became unfishable
up past the lighthouse. (Psycho Street)
NOTES: Hopefully the winds and currents will change and warm water will return to our
area. Everyone here is joking that we will be seeing Albacore again! Well, you never know. This
week’s report is going out a day early since we will be going up to the East Cape on Sunday to do
a little surf fishing and to listen to “The Dorado’s”, the World’s Greatest Fishing Band when they
play at the “Let’s Talk Hook-up Tournament” at Rancho Leonero. This week’s report was
written to the music of Richard Thompson on his “Rumors and Sighs” CD, a 1991 Capitol
release. Many thanks to Billy “Be-Bop” Bowman for lending me his CD to listen to!
