Tip&Trick Description 1:
MEAT STOCK CUBE CHEMICAL LURE
This started off by being an applied science project in school linked to fishing for predatory species. I am happy for anyone to try it out. It takes some preparation but is worth the experiment. You can use it for river, lake or sea fishing from a bank, beach, pier or boat. Use the strongest line you have for dragging. Have a camera to get evidence of your catch.
First get your meat stock cubes – the red varieties are the best imitation of the fluids that leak from wounded prey. They are much cheaper if bought in the large boxes and cost even less if you can get them put on someone else’s shopping list.
You also need a pair of tights or stockings so ask nicely – particularly if someone is wearing them at the time!
Cut the tights/stockings up into 10cm (4in) squares and put them onto a flat surface.
Take the foil wrapping off of each stock cube being careful not to crumble it and place one centrally onto each square of the tights/stockings.
Tie the four corners of the material together into a firm knot – a test of your dexterity – you may need to use bigger squares at first and trim them up afterwards.
Then tie a length of line inside the knot of each lure bag leaving plenty of spare to attach to the eye on your lure. Store your bags in a waterproof and crushproof container.
When you are ready to fish attach a bag to the eye of your lure making sure that you tie the knot so that a used bag can be easily removed from the eye but cannot slip off during movement underwater. A pair of fine scissors will useful to do the cutting during bag changing. Dispose of used bags and line responsibly please – not into the water or onto the site.
Keep safe – wear a lifejacket if you are fishing on or by deep water. Keep yourself warm and waterproof. Do not fish on your own – it is safer with others. Let someone know where you are going and have a means of contacting him or her.

Report Description:
GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
March 11, 2013
Anglers –
We saw weather patterns change during this first week of March, as
conditions felt much more spring like, overcast, scattered clouds,
increased humidity and high temperatures in the mid 80s. Not so cold in the
early mornings, as near of a perfect climate as anyone could wish for.
Great time to visit the Southern Baja area now, crowds are increasing as
spring break has begun for some, not overly busy, just about right amount
of visitors. North winds let up finally and this gave a chance for offshore
ocean conditions to settle down and anglers reported having some epic
marlin action on the fishing grounds of the famed Gordo Banks.
On Wednesday fleets fishing offshore of San Jose del Cabo reported finding
concentrations of mackerel and other baitfish balled up on the surface and
started to see number of striped marlin on these same grounds. The next day
this baitfish activity switched to the Gordo Banks, where anglers were able
to jig up their own mackerel in a hurry and then witness incredible marlin
action, similar to what happens on the Pacific banks, such as Golden Gate.
Striped marlin were seen in schools, at times by the hundreds and many
charter boats accounted for multiple hook ups and three, four or five
marlin landed in a short period of time. It is incredible how action can
change just overnight, conditions switch around, currents move, cleaner
water pushes in and with the huge influx of mackerel, the gamefish were
right behind, following their food source. Will be interesting to see how
long this action can sustain, local pangeros need to remember to not become
overly greedy and take too many of these marlin for themselves, this is a
good time for authorities to enforce regulations, such as no commercial
sale of any billfish.
The marlin bite was definitely the highlight of the week, but the bottom
action also started to heat up, particularly off of the rock piles further
north, towards San Luis and Vinorama, this is where anglers reported
quality action while using yo-yo jigs for amberjack up to 40 pounds,
grouper, cabrilla, pargo and a couple of yellowtail in the mix. East Cape
and La Paz areas are now reporting very impressive catches on large sized
yellowtail and we are encouraged that these same fish will also take up
residence on the local grounds off San Jose del Cabo. Promising signs now,
with the winds residing, loads of baitfish on the fishing grounds, supplies
of sardinas rebounding near San Luis, water clarity improving and with the
weather now on a noticeable warming trend, these favorable conditions
should only improve. Though we most certainly will have some more northern
winds this month, it does appear that the worst of these persistent
northerlies are over with and we will start to have more options open up as
offshore conditions become more comfortable.
Ocean temperatures are now ranging from 68 to 72 degrees. There are still
significant numbers of whales in the area, expecting that they will be
headed north soon as the weather continues to warm. Sierra are the most
common fish found close to shore, also some smaller sized roosterfish, jack
crevalle and a handful of dorado found near shore, often seen chasing
ballyhoo.
Not much yellowfin action found recently, though there were reports of
seeing yellowfin outside of Gordo breaking the surface, but they were hard
to hook into. On Thursday a couple of tuna up to 120 pounds were taken on
chunk bait off of the Outer Gordo Bank, first of these fish caught off of
these grounds that we have heard about for over a week. This does provide
proof that tuna are still hanging around the Gordo Banks, plenty of food on
these grounds, so the tuna proved finicky as they normally are.
This week the combined panga fleets launching out of Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 74 charters and anglers accounted for a fish
count of: 22 striped marlin, 3 yellowfin tuna, 46 dorado, 240 sierra,
16 roosterfish, 10 jack crevalle, 20 amberjack,19 cabrilla, 48 mixed pargo
species, 5 yellowtail, 14 bonito and
16 triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
