Not all animals with the word fish in their names count as fish. |
Though their names may suggest otherwise, cuttlefish, starfish, and jellyfish aren’t actually fish. Generally-speaking, fishes must have skulls, gills, and fins. Surprisingly, though, not all fishes have proper spines. |

In three decades, the world's oceans will contain more discarded plastic than fish when measured by weight, researchers say. |

Even Catfish are finicky |
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. |

New month is feeling more tropical by
the day, increased humidity, last
week there were distance tropical
storms, Erick and Flossie, both headed
far off to the west causing no impact
with land. Presently there is a new
storm named Gil, is expected to follow
the same direction off west. Swells
have been moderate, winds mainly out of
the south later in the day,
unpredictable from day to day when the
breeze might pick up. Ocean
temperatures are ranging from 80 to 86
degrees. High daytime temperature
averaging 90 degrees.
The last few days there were sardinas
found schooling just to the north of
the marina jetty, so this has been a
bonus bait option as well as
caballito, ballyhoo and slabs of squid.
Most common fish has been dorado,
spread throughout the area,
particularly around the Iman Bank. The
majority
of these fish were smaller in size,
though a handful of larger fish to over
20 b. were mixed in. There has been a
lot of catch and release going on.
Most charters were easily getting their
two dorado limits per person limits.
Very few yellowfin tuna were landed,
though many were seen on different
grounds, just with all of the natural
food source in the area they just did
not appear to be that hungry, the tuna
that were caught were in the 15 to
25 lb. range. A few wahoo were
reported, found trolling in open water,
on
marlin and dorado grounds. Marlin
action slowed down compared to previous
week, though there were still chances
at striped and blue marlin, also we
saw at least one sailfish, have yet to
report any black marlin this season.
Bottom action consisted mainly of
triggerfish, with an occasional leopard
grouper, amberjack or snapper. Some
days various shark species were also
hooked into while trying the bottom
action. Most charters are now
concentrating more on surface bite.
Along the shoreline there were a
handful of roosterfish reported, though
the season for these fish is now
winding down.
*T*he combined sportfishing fleet
launching out of the panga area from
Puerto Los Cabos Marina sent out an
estimated 72 charters for the week and
anglers reported an approximate fish
count of: 2 sailfish, 3 striped
marlin, 2 blue marlin, 6 wahoo, 255
dorado, 8 yellowfin tuna, 11 leopard
grouper, 12 Mexican bonito, 16 red
snapper, 1 Pacific golden eyed tile
fish, 4 yellow snapper, 9 amberjack, 6
roosterfish, 4 jack crevalle and 90
triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
