Feb 15, 2009; 04:24PM - Make 'Em Last : Save A Grub
|
|
Category: Fishing tips and tricks
|
|
Author Name: Nathan
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 1:
Make your grubs, curly tails, dingers, etc last by sliding the grub past the eye of the hook and then stick a toothpick/shaved wood into the eye and cut the ends. This prevents throwing the grub off even after a few hits. Also play with the cutting to change a lure's action. |

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
August 2, 2020
Much of the same patterns this past week. Light crowds of tourists arriving, greeted by warm summer conditions, no new tropical storms that we
see developing at this time. Windy conditions were dominant through the entire month of July, though this week winds finally settled down late in
the week and through the weekend, giving a chance for water clarity to improve and ocean temperatures were once again on a warming trend, ranging
from the mid to upper 70s.
Bait supplies mainly consisted of caballito, with some mullet still found as well, no sardinas were reported yet and usually we do not see them until
closer to October. The majority of local sport fishing charters were fishing the grounds from the Gordo Banks and north to Vinorama. Finding a
mix of inshore, bottom and offshore action. Most consistent action was found working the shallow rock piles and areas such as San Luis and
Vinorama Banks, more often in depths of 100 to 180 ft., using yo-yo jigs and bait. Various cabrilla, grouper, snapper, pargo and amberjack were
hooked into, though these fish had to be worked for, no easy big numbers at this time. No wahoo or dorado action was reported
We did hear of a few yellowfin tuna being hooked into near the San Luis Bank, on yo-yo jigs and bait, these tuna were in the 40 to 50 lb. class. We
hope with conditions now stabilizing that this tuna action will become steadier, the month of August is normally one of the best times of the year
to find good numbers of quality sized yellowfin tuna. Other private charters were going much further offshore in search of warmer clean blue
water and migrating porpoise which in turn can be associated with schooling yellowfin, so far this action was very hit or miss, especially with how the
wind had been and the distance which was needed to possibly find action. Normally this month is when we find the tuna closer to shore on the high
spots, just taking a little longer to develop this summer with the way ocean conditions have been.
Along the shoreline anglers are still finding jack crevalle and some very nice sized roosterfish, we are now in the late time of the season for these
fish, but since we have not seen a lot of huge storm surf activity this could last for another couple of weeks.
We did not have many anglers that wanted to go looking for billfish, it is kind of in between seasons now, as the striped marlin move out, following
cooler currents towards the north and then we see the black and blue marlin show up, which is now the time frame when they usually become more
prevalent on local grounds. We did see a handful of striped marlin landed this past week, most of these were in the 100 to 140 lb. range.
Light crowds, good fishing, Eric
