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.

CABO FISH REPORT FOR DECEMBER 7 TO DECEMBER 14, 2003
WEATHER: Winter time is here as the nights have been getting down into the high
50’s and the daytime highs have been in the mid to low 80’s. Guess that may be warm
to those of you up north, but we are wearing sweaters and coats at night. Makes me
wish we had a fireplace at home! The skies have been mostly clear, no clouds to hold
the heat in. No rain, but there has been a lot of wind.
WATER: The water has cooled right down and for the most part we are seeing
temperatures in the 74-75 range both on the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez. There is a
finger of slightly warmer water out to the southeast, but it is only up to 76 degrees. The
wind we have been having has made the surface conditions pretty rough and
uncomfortable, but still fishable. Swells at 3-6 feet with lots of chop on top around mid
morning.
BAIT: Mackerel at the normal $2 each and Sardinas at $20 a bucket were available all
week long.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The concentration of fish that were on the lighthouse moved up the Pacific
side this week and are now around the Los Arcos area. They are scattered but are
now striking lures as well as live bait. There are still a few Blue and Black Marlin
around. There is at least one Blue Marlin being caught every day (but consider that
this is for the entire fleet) and I know that a few boats have hooked up to #600 plus
Blues and Blacks this week as well. Lures are the way to go on the big fish, but they
are few and far between.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Seems like this week the Tuna just disappeared. It could be that
they are still there, but just so far out that no one wants to get pounded to pieces
getting to them.
DORADO: Same area as the Striped Marlin this week, up the Pacific off of Los Arcos.
Scattered fish to 30 pounds, biting best on slow trolled live bait or bait tossed under
Frigate birds.
WAHOO: Only a few Wahoo were reported this week, and they came from the Gorda
Banks area. Dark colored lures.
INSHORE: Slow inshore action due to the sea conditions. There was the annual
Sierra tournament held this week in the San Lucas Bay, but everyone I talked to said
they lost fish, no one I know actually got one in the boat!
NOTES: You may have noticed that the report this week is really brief. I have been up
in California this week and all the information I have is based on what Mary and a few
friends told me last night. Take it for what it is! Until next week, Tight Lines!
