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 Fish Report
Oct. 2-8, 2006
WEATHER: Our daytime highs were in the mid to low 90’s this week while the nighttime lows were in the mid 70’s. Combine that with a slight lowering in the humidity and it was pretty comfortable for us that live here. Of course if you are used to a lot lower temperatures and lower humidity you knew that you were in the tropics and had to carry a sweat rag with you when you walked around town. It was mostly sunny this week and we had the full moon as well.
WATER: I don’t think the water conditions can get much better than we have had for the last few weeks considering the time of year. Both the Pacific side and the Sea of Cortez side of the cape have had smooth conditions on the surface with swells slight at 2-3 feet and very little wind chop. Water temperatures have been between 83 and 86 degrees with an occasional spot hitting lows of 82 degrees and highs of 89 degrees. The only consistent temperature break has been to the southwest at a distance of 15 miles where the warm water is closer to shore and the cooler water just outside. There was only a one-degree change, but that was the extent of any break in the area.
BAIT: Caballito in the larger sizes were readily available this week at the normal $2 per bait, and for boats that went up the Cortez side there were Sardinas available off of La Playita at $20 a bucket.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: With all the tournaments upcoming in the next few weeks I will put a bit more focus on the billfish action in this report. There were plenty of Blue Marlin and Striped Marlin to be found and I did see quite a few small Black Marlin as well. Most of the blacks were found close to the beach along the points and the Blues were coming off of the current lines or within a mile or two of the banks. Lures were taking most of the blue marlin hook-ups and the favorite colors seemed to be Petrelero and blue/pink/silver. During the tournaments there will likely be a lot more boats working slow trolled live baits around the banks, but no one is really doing that yet. The Cabrillo seamount, the 1150 area as well as the San Jaime and the Golden Gate area have all produced decent Blue Marlin this week. For some reason the 95 Spot has not been quite as productive. The Striped Marlin have been found close to shore and they have been mixed in with the Dorado and a few Sailfish. Striped Marlin have been averaging #120-#130 while the average Blue has been in the #200-#250 class with a few fish in the “qualifying” area of over #300. Keep in mind that even if you are trolling lures to bring one of the mamas up, it pays off to have a bridles Bonita or Yellowfin Tuna in the tubes just in case the big girl decides she is window shopping! Sometimes the free meal is irresistible. Get a load of Sardines first thing in the morning and put a couple of the big baits in the tubes, if you don’t get a chance to use them on a big Blue, they still make for a great “Charlie” while fishing for Dorado.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Find the porpoise and you find the Tuna. This is the time of year when it is true every trip, but not all the porpoise will hold fish. If you get lucky as some people did 25 miles to the south this week, you will get a chance to fight fish to #180, with a lot of them around #70-#80. Closer to home on the Pacific side there were lots of school fish in the 25-40 pound ranges, but once again you had to find the porpoise that held fish. These school fish were between the San Jaime and Golden Gate Banks and the coastline. Best lures were Cedar plugs and dark colored feathers for the smaller fish and live bait for the larger ones.
DORADO: The fish of the week with every boat getting at least a couple of fish and a lot of boats limiting out on these great eating fish. There was a concentration of fish off of the ledge at the lighthouse and a decent concentration of fish spread out across the current line up at Los Arcos.
WAHOO: There were a few Wahoo this week and they were mostly caught close to the beach on the Pacific side by anglers targeting Dorado. The smallest I heard of (and got a piece of) was 45 pounds but there were reports of fish to 75 pounds.
INSHORE: There were still a few Roosterfish being reported this week but with there being so many Dorado close in it was hard to get the Captains of the Pangas to target anything else.
NOTES: My friend Dan broke the cherry on his new 63’ Bertram “Sporty Game” yesterday with the release of an estimated #350 Blue. I will be fishing this boat for the Bisbee so it’s nice to know that it can raise fish. Now all I need to do is bring a few C/W CD’s! Until next week, tight lines!
