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 SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT FOR JULY 28 TO AUGUST 3, 2003
WEATHER: It was back to being baked in an oven for us this week as the breeze we were
getting most of last week disappeared. Our daytime highs were in the high 90’s in the shade and
our nighttime lows were in the high 70’s to low 80’s. There was cloud cover early in the week
and on Wednesday we actually had rain all day (if you can call it rain, for my wife it was a drizzle,
but she is from Seattle!). No wind to go with it so while we enjoyed the moisture, it was also
humid. (Smackwater Jack)
WATER: Some decent swells this week but the wind was down and early in the week we had
almost glassy conditions. Starting on Thursday we began to get a little breeze in the afternoon
that ruffled the surface a bit and by Saturday the afternoon breeze had pushed up a little chop.
Our temperatures on the Sea of Cortez side were up to the 87 degree range while on the Pacific
you could still find some 79 degree water around the Jaime Bank. Inshore the water was still a bit
green but offshore there was a nice blue color except for the area from the Los Arcos on the
Pacific to Golden Gate Banks and south to San Jaime’s north corner, there it was muddy brown
and around 78 degrees. No strongly defined temperature breaks in the area this week. (I Feel
The Earth Move)
BAIT: Mackerel and Mullet at the normal $2 per bait. (Sweet Seasons)
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The billfishing this week was slow almost everywhere with very few boats coming
into the marina with flags flying for Marlin. This was surprising since we are in the week of the
new moon, normally a great time for the Blues to bite. A few boats were betting Strikes from the
guy in the blue suit almost 20 miles due south while working Bonita and Yellowfin schools in the
area, and there were a few Striped Marlin in there as well. A better area for the Striped Marlin
was up at the Golden Gate Bank on the Pacific side, where one private yacht reported 12 fish in
one day. Elsewhere the pickings were slow, and most boats were lucky if they found one Marlin
all day long. (Carry Your Load)
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Once again the fish of the week! The Seiners did hang around last week,
and you know that they had to have set on the fish, but except for Thursday when there seemed to
be very few fish of any kind caught, the bite on football Yellowfin stayed steady. Large pods of
Porpoise from 15 to 25 miles to the south and east spotted the concentrations of fish, and this was
a good thing, as almost everyone who got into them caught fish. Early in the week there were
25-35 pound fish and later on most of them were 15-20. Best lures were cedar plugs, feathers in
black, purple and pink/white. (Been To Canaan)
DORADO: The Dorado were scattered for almost everyone, just like last week, but a few boats
were able to get into some nice fish. Frigate birds working and turtles on the surface were some
of the keys the captains were looking for, and the first one on the scene got good results. On
Monday, one of the boats found a wire spool floating out to the south and was able to do very
well before everyone else showed up, then the fish got wary and stopped biting. Live bait was a
key factor, being the go-to for working Frigates and turtles, and also as a drop-back for fish
picked up on the troll. (Nightingale)
WAHOO: A few fish were found, a few more caught, but not in any quantity nor consistency.
(Jazzman)
NEARSHORE: Pangas were working just off the beach for Roosterfish and having some luck
with them, most of the fish being in the 20-30 pound class. The Jack Crevalle were in there as
well and some of the boats were able to pick up Dorado in the surf. Most of the Pangas were
venturing offshore early in the week looking for Dorado and Tuna, and some of them had good
luck. (Corazon)
NOTES: It looks as if many of the Purse Seiners we were worried about last week have left the
area, a good thing as far as we are concerned. The water was great this week and the fishing was
good if you wanted anything other than Marlin. Our fingers are crossed that the weather
continues to stay good and the bite keeps getting better. I am planning to take my boat out of the
water the second week of this month for the annual bottom paint job, and will be doing some
other work as well, you can almost bet that the bite will go wide open at that time, it just seems to
work that way! This weeks report was written to the vocals of Carole King on the CD “Carol
King Super Hits”, the 2000 release by Ode Records.
