Tip&Trick Description 1:
I primarily use this rig for King Mackeral fishing on the East coast. The rig is very simple. When using a ribbon fish deep try attaching a single bait hook roughly 8-10 inches above the ribbon fish. This technique will provide more action to the dead ribbon fish and will also appear to the King Mackeral that the ribbon is attempting to feed on the live bait. All avid King Mackeral anglers know that a large king is more acceptable during a feed. I hope that this rig will help add an edge to everyone who fishes live bait for King Mackeral. The rig should be tied as described below:
30 - 50lb barrel swivel to haywire twist, 4 inch #6 leader wire, haywire twist to single bait hook (sz. preference), haywire twist 8 inch #6 wire, Hookup jig head 3/16, haywire twist to 3 or 4 hook stinger setup. No picture is provided due to the length of the rig. The small wire and hooks are not noticable when whole rig is in frame.

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JULY 11-17, 2005
WEATHER: Clear skies with few if any clouds were the norm for this week, and there was enough wind to keep things cool here in town. Of course, if things are cool in town from the breeze, things were bound to be a bit choppy out on the water. Our day time highs were in the mid to high 90’s and our night time lows were in the mid 70’s.
WATER: The consistent wind on the Pacific side kept the water there choppy, but on the Sea of Cortez things were pretty good with just a bit of a ground swell and a bit of a chop in the late afternoon. Water temperatures have been climbing and we were seeing blue water with temperatures in the 82 degree range from just outside of town to up the past the Gorda Banks on the Cortez side of the Cape while the Pacific side the water that was a lot cooler, around the low 70’s for the most part, and very green close to shore. This lasted until the week end, and then the California current re-exerted its self and pushed the warm water back toward the Punta Gorda area. As of this report, the water just outside of town is in the low to mid 70’s.
BAIT: Almost all Caballito this week, but there were a few Mackerel in the mix and they were all at the normal $2 per bait.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Most of the Billfish action this week was on Striped Marlin and most of the action happened up around the San Jose Canyon area. There were fish found at the 95 spot and the 1150 as well as just in front of town, but the majority of fish seen and caught were just outside of the red hill area. The bite was pretty evenly mixed between lures and live bait, but trolling at slightly faster than normal speeds, around 9 ½ knots with lures seemed to produce real well for the boats trying it. The average size of the Striped Marlin was small, just around 100 pounds, but there were plenty of them to be found. There were a few nice Blue Marlin found as well, but not in any numbers or consistency. A few Sailfish have begun to appear in the local waters as well.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Tuna were scarce this week and I am not sure why. The fish that were caught were footballs for the most part although there was one day early in the week when boats that braved the ocean conditions on the Pacific side and went out 40 miles got into a decent school of fish in the 60-80 pound range. Boats trying the same area the next day met rough seas and no fish.
DORADO: More Dorado were found this week than were found last week, but the bite is still not wide open. Let the water continue to warm another week and things might begin to happen.
WAHOO: There were some nice Wahoo found this week and most of them came from the edges of the San Jose Canyon by boats working the area for Striped Marlin. I had a trip on Wednesday when we had three lures cut off by the razor gang and had none of them hook up.
INSHORE: Inshore action has been slow with just a few Roosterfish and Pargo, along with a scattering of Amberjack and Jack Crevalle. Most of the action has been on the Pacific side so it has been an early morning bite, before the wind picks up.
NOTES: It was looking good at the middle of the week for fishing to improve, but with the movement of the cool water back toward the Cortez side of the Cape, the good thoughts may have been a bit premature. None of us have experienced the cool water hanging around as long as this season has done and we all hope things get back to normal quickly. No music this week! Until next week, tight lines!
