Tip&Trick Description 1:
The Castaway
One day this guy, who has been stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years, sees an unusual
speck on the horizon. 'It's certainly not a ship, 'he thinks to himself. As the speck gets closer and closer,
he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft.
Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes this drop-dead gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and
scuba gear. She approaches the stunned guy and says to him, 'Tell me, how long has it been since
you've had a cigarette?' 'Ten years' replies the stunned man. With that, she reaches over and unzips a
waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it and
takes a long drag and says, 'Man oh man! Is that ever good!'
And how long has it been since you've had a sip of bourbon?' she asks him.
Trembling, the castaway replies: 'Ten years!' She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on her
right sleeve pulls out a flask and hands it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig and says, 'Wow,
that's absolutely fantastic!'
At this point, she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs own the front of her wet suit, looks at
him seductively and asks, 'And how long has it been since you've played around?' With tears in his eyes
the guy falls to his knees and says. 'Oh sweet Jesus! Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there too! |

REPORT #970. “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
Michael Hibbard, Southbury, Conn., spent his last day chasing YFT from outside of Cabo Pulmo to 10 miles offshore. He demonstrated that the practice he had on his previous trip paid off and managed to raise his total up to double digits with his largest in the 30 pound class.
Bisbee Black and Blue Tournament attracted 56 teams to compete for the big jackpot. Since the preceding week had produced a 400 , 500 and a 614-pound blue, anticipation ran high for the 240 anglers seeking the fame and a big check for winning the event. Unfortunately, the big blues didn’t get the invite and only one qualifying fish made it to the scales, 344 lbs. caught by lady angler Charlene Sanford onboard 'Adam's Folly'

Looking at the SST’s on http://terrafin.com it appears that the warmer water is filling in nicely. Diana Hoyt, of Magbay Outfitters, confirmed that the fishing outside Boca de Soledad is great, with yellowfin tuna and dorado being found just a few miles offshore. Further out at the Thetis Bank there are reports of more marlin sightings. Boats straight-lining to the entrada found a steady dorado bite. At the entrada (entrance) there are plenty of bonito and skipjack under the bird schools and occasionally some fire-cracker yellows show up in the melee. As the water temperature continues to warm up, the bite is improving from San Carlos all the way up to panhandle above Lopez Mateos. Sierra, corvina, halibut at the sandy beaches and even snook now and then are keeping the rods bent and smiles on the anglers’ faces.

There has not been much change this last couple of weeks. The 80º blue water is only a short 2 mile run off the beach, and the boats are still taking most of their fish between 10 and 12 miles out. The sailfish are averaging between two and three fish a day, per boat.
Adolpho, on the panga Dos Hermanos, fished the blue water two days and ended up with seven sailfish released. The three days of inshore fishing yielded (each day) two large roosterfish, averaging about 35- to 38-pounds, and three or four large jack crevalle, averaging about 18- to 20-pounds.
The week accounted for five blue marlin again. They are sticking around, even though the water is way too warm for their preference, because of the huge schools of skipjack tuna here. As normal for this time of the year, there are very few boats fishing in the fleet, and even though the fishing is fairy good, it will stay this way till November.
