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

Author Name: Fish hooks

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. |

Cabo Fish Report
July 17-23, 2006
WEATHER: With the passing of Hurricanes Bud and Carlotta we received large swells, and a bit of wind, but for the past week things have come back to normal. Our daytime highs have remained in the high 90’s with an occasional foray into the 102-degree range while at night we have been thankful for cooler temperatures in the low 80’s with a slight breeze. Next week we might see some overcast conditions and possibly a bit of rain as Tropical Storm Emilia may have a bit of an effect on our weather as she is expected to pass us well to the southwest.
WATER: The storm swells we ended with last week died off and there were only seas to 3-4 feet on the Pacific side and less on the Cortez side of the Cape this week. At the end of the week we had very slight seas everywhere with very little wind on the Cortez side and some choppy conditions on the Pacific. Water temperatures were mixed a bit as we had a band of very warm water (84-85 degrees) cross the tip of the Baja at a distance of about 15 miles. On the Pacific side of the Cape the water was 77-80 degrees with the warmer water in a band across the San Jaime Bank. On the Sea of Cortez we had a hot spot of water around the Gorda Banks with temperatures at 86 degrees. We had green water close to shore on the Pacific side and slightly green water on the San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks. The water on the Sea of Cortez was very nice and blue.
BAIT: Mostly Caballito and Mullet with a few Mackerel at the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: On again, off again are the words to use for the Billfish bite this past week. We had a client fish 6 days straight for Marlin with the emphasis being on Blues. Day one was a shut-out, day two resulted in two Striped Marlin, day three was a Striped Marlin and a Dorado, day four was a release of a Blue of about #200 and another the same size jumped off, day five was a Striped Marlin release and a Blue of about #500 jumped off and day six was another shut-out. The action was inconsistent and scattered. Most of the Striped Marlin and the small Blues were found within 2 miles of the shore on the Cortez side while the larger Blue was found at the 95 spot. All these fish fell for one of two 10” lures from Black Bart. The fleet’s catches were about the same with the on-off results, but fewer fish were found on the Pacific side than on the Cortez.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: I heard of one boat getting into Tuna at the San Jaime early in the week but that was the only positive Tuna note I heard. There were scattered blind strikes on fish to #30, but nothing consistent. My fingers are still crossed.
DORADO: Maintaining their status as fish of the week, the Dorado were small and scattered, but still more plentiful than any other species. Most of the fish were found within 2 miles of the beach on both the Cortez and the Pacific side of the Cape with there being a slight increase in the number of fish found on the Pacific side as the week wore on.
WAHOO: What Hoo? I saw one confirmed Wahoo flag this week.
INSHORE: A repeat of last week’s inshore action. Fishing for Roosterfish continues to improve and anglers found the best results either slow trolling mullet just outside the surf break during the day or soaking live bait at night in the 50-60 foot zone. There were fish to #80 caught but the average was 20 pounds. Other than the Roosterfish there is almost no action to report. Almost all the inshore action was from Cabo Falso and up the coast toward San Jose.
NOTES: This weeks water was a bit warmer overall than last weeks, and we are now in Hurricane season so that will have an effect on where the storms head. I am still waiting for the good fishing to start, it’s not bad right now, but as you can see, it’s nothing to write home about, at least compared to what we are used to! This weeks report was written to the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young on the 1970 Atlantic release “Deja-Vu”. Until next week, Tight Lines!
