| Not all fishes lay eggs. |
| Fishes like split fins, surf-perches, and some sharks instead carry and give birth to live young. Scientists have also discovered that the embryos of some of these fishes actually consume each other in the womb. How’s that for creepy fish facts? |

| Fishes hear with both their ears and their skeletons, sensing the vibrations of sound in the water. |
| Scientists even suspect that sharks can clearly hear sounds from over 3 km away. |

| Fish have built in radar? |
| Built-in Radar Many species of fish have a powerful sense organ called the lateral line running across their body. It can detect motion in the water, allowing them to hunt prey, avoid predators, and navigate in the dark. |

Looking for the Excalibur (Bill Dance signature series) Fat Free Fry in Crawfish. The lure is 2' long and the body is practicly see thru (with the exception for where the crawfish design and color has been airbrushed) I would like to purchase as many as you have. I will take old, new, it doesn't matter. This is all my boyfriend fishes with and he is almost out of these.
Thanks

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! |

Nov 20, 2003; 05:38PM - Baja North Winds-Zihuatanejo and Guatemala Salifish
|

Category: Saltwater Fly Fishing Reports

Author Name: Gary Graham

REPORT FROM GARY GRAHAM'S BAJA ON THE FLY:
PROVIDING QUALITY SALTWATER FLY-FISHING 365 DAYS A YEAR IN BAJA FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: bajafly@usa.net; USA toll-free (800) 919-2252; Mexico 011-52-624-14-10373
Thursday, Nov. 20, 2003 Report covers the period Sat.-Thurs. (11/13 - 11/20 )
EAST CAPE, MAGDALENA BAY, ZIHUATANEJO, MEXICO; AND IZTAPA, GUATEMALA CONDITIONS
EAST CAPE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: North winds continued to make it tough for the fly fishers as well as anyone else attempting to fish either offshore or inshore. Once the wind arrived mid-morning, all but the hardest of core headed back to their hotels.
AIR & SEA -
Water temperature 74°-80°
Air temperature 75° - 80°
Humidity about 50%
Wind NW at 6 mph
Conditions clear
Visibility 12 miles
Sunrise 6:35 a.m. MST
Sunset 5:22 p.m. MST
Nov 23 New, Nov. 30 First Quarter, Dec.8 Full Dec. 16 Last Quarter
o OFFSHORE: The ride out in the mornings was bearable but the few tuna and billfish caught were hardly worth the wet ride home..
o INSHORE: Some action under the mooring buoys and the good news was you didn’t have to go far to get out of the wind when it came.
o BEACH: Gray light is the beast bet. Rooster alley has a few ladyfish and smaller jacks. La Ribera produced a few sierra before the wind cranked up. Out at Punta Colorada it was pretty much the same deal with a few ladyfish and sierra.
BILLFISH – Fewer sails as the water cools down, and an occasional stripe.
YELLOWFIN TUNA – Long haul and little to show for the effort.
DORADO – A few smaller ones inside around the mooring buoys.
ROOSTERFISH – Only heard of one caught all week.
JACK CREVALLE – Wind has made it tough.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK - Same as the tuna . . . stop the wind and they
bite.
PARGO AND CABRILLA - A few of the reefs producing good catches.
SIERRA – A few diving birds and you may hit the jackpot.
MAGDALENA BAY, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO
IN GENERAL: Lots of long faces among the yacht crowd working the offshore. Few birds and little bait to attract and hold the exotics. Best single day’s catch I have heard of lately was not even double digits for billfish which is unusual for the area at this time of year. Many of the boats have already either headed home or on to Cabo and the Mainland. Back in the Mangroves action was much better. Plenty of corvina, pompano, grouper and a few smaller snook offered some diversion to the disgruntled offshore crowd. The Entrada as well as the entrance to Santa Maria Bay provided some small yellowtail action under the diving pelicans.
Water Temperature 67°-78°
Air Temperature 69°- 80°
Humidity 97%
Wind Calm
Conditions Haze
Visibility 6 miles
Sunrise 6:46 a.m. MST
Sunset 5:37 p.m. MST
Nov 23 New, Nov. 30 First Quarter, Dec.8 Full Dec. 16 Last Quarter
YELLOWTAIL - Either bay entrance producing good catches under the bird
schools.
CORVINA – One of the best years I can remember for orange mouth critters.
SNOOK – More lost than caught
HALIBUT – A slow retrieved chartreuse Clouser is almost a sure thing.
SIERRA – If you lose your fly you probably found them.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: We are having excellent fishing for sailfish right now. The 82º blue water is only 9 miles out and each boat is raising from 8 to 15 fish a day. The list for boats and clients who are catching and releasing, on conventional gear, 4 to 6 sails a day are actually too numerous to list.
Fly fishing clients, like Terry Carter of Cumberland, Ohio are hooking 2 to 3 sailfish a day average.
We also had the roosterfish move back in. Captain Adolpho is averaging 5 to 6 a day for his clients, with the fish running about 25 to 40 pounds.
Water Temperature 75º-86º
Air Temperature 75° - 89º
Humidity 70%
Wind SSE at 5 mph

Baja on the Fly's Zihuatanejo report by Ed Kunze
IZTAPA, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: In the past week, we have a lot of offshore action to report. The 2003 Presidential Challenge wrapped up in Guatemala this past week, so we had more boats on the water fishing than we have had in a while. Action for the 30 participants was HOT with a wide open bite on the last day! In the 3 days of fishing they released 553 Sailfish and a couple of Blue Marlin. In addition to this action several of the local boats were out prior to and during the tournament and released an additional 153 sails with a couple of Marlin thrown in. The total on sails released for the week was 706, which is not bad. Dorado were also present but we don’t have counts on them. Inshore there was no one out, once again. The action is really great right now, so its time to get on down to Guatemala!
Water Temperature 80º-85º
Air Temperature 78°-86º
