Starfish do not have blood. Their blood is actually filtered sea water. |

Not all animals with the word fish in their names count as fish. |
Though their names may suggest otherwise, cuttlefish, starfish, and jellyfish aren’t actually fish. Generally-speaking, fishes must have skulls, gills, and fins. Surprisingly, though, not all fishes have proper spines. |

In three decades, the world's oceans will contain more discarded plastic than fish when measured by weight, researchers say. |

Even Catfish are finicky |
Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

San Jose del Cabo
Anglers –
May 12, 2019
Light crowds of anglers are now
visiting, making it a great time to
come down with the minimal pressure.
Weather conditions are now ideal, very
little wind, perfect temperature, sunny
skies, with highs of about 82 degrees.
Ocean water temperature is now ranging
from as chilly as 68 degrees on the
Pacific, up to 75 degrees off of San
Jose del Cabo and towards the north.
Supplies of sardinas have become
scarcer, but are being found most
mornings. Surface action is slow to get
going, it is now the season where
things can change very quickly,
depending on conditions. Main action
now has been found from Palmilla to
Gordo Banks, La Fortuna, Iman and San
Luis. Catches included a mix of bonito,
sierra, roosterfish, pompano,
amberjack, red snapper, pargo, cabrilla
and yellowtail.
Some of the hard core local pangeros
fishing commercially have been leaving
very early, this has paid off in being
able to jig up chihuil baitfish by
using sabiki rigs on the Gordo Banks.
After the sun comes these bait fish do
not want to bite. These candy baits
have been producing quality catches of
yellowtail, averaging 25 to 30 lb.,
while soaking these baits on both the
Inner and Outer Gordo Banks. Sport
fishing fleet are catching a few, but
hard to leave at the hour needed to
catch the better bait for this action.
Anglers are using a mixed of available
batfish and yo yo jigs to produce a mix
of good eating bottom species. Marlin
action has been very spotty, but they
are seeing a few of the striped marlin,
actually in recent days, more of these
billfish were seen closer to shore than
further offshore, where water was a bit
more greenish. Still transition time to
where the water changes from green to
blue and currents are pushing in from
different directions. We are optimistic
that the all around action improve
soon.
No talk of yellowfin tuna, dorado or
wahoo now, but that could change at any
given time as conditions become warmer
and more favorable. Still plenty of sea
lions to deal with as well. Most all of
the whales have now moved out of the
region and are on their migration north
to their summer feeding grounds.
Inshore action consisted on some
roosterfish to 20 lb. and sporadic
action for sierra to over 5 lb. A
handful of African Pompano found off
inshore rocky areas, though there are
so many aggressive triggerfish it is
hard to get through them.
The combined sportfishing fleet out of
the panga area from Puerto Los Cabos
Marina reported an estimated 55
charters for the week and anglers
reported an approximate fish count of:
1 striped marlin, 14 yellowtail, 14
leopard grouper, 155 bonito, 26 red
snapper, 12 yellow snapper, 7 African
pompano, 10 moharra, 4 amberjack, 32
sierra, 4 glasseye pargo, 14
roosterfish and 85 triggerfish.
Good Fishing, Eric
