Imagine the opportunity to catch six different species of gamefish while being pampered at a remote island lodge in Northern Ontario, Canada. Red Pine Wilderness Lodge is that place. As hosts for the last 21 years my wife Janice and I have accommodated many satisfied guests from North America and some as far away as Singapore. Although Walleye is the most popular target, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass Whitefish, Perch and Brook Trout are all available on the 28 miles of Lady Evelyn Lake or the portage lakes that we feature. Check out all the details at www.redpinelodge.com or call the toll-free number to book your next all-inclusive fishing adventure.

Tip&Trick Description 1:
1. Honey is the only food that has every single substance to sustain life.
2. Honey doesn't ever turn bad. You can actually eat honey that was found in Egyptian tombs
thousands of years ago. (if you dare) ‼️
3. A single bee produces just HALF a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. Hard work.
4. The darker the honey, the more powerful its medicinal properties and the less sweet it is.
The inverse also holds true.
5. Honey is the original antibiotic. It's been used as an antibacterial and antifungal for
generations.
6. Honey is a natural sleeping pill. Consuming honey aids with the production of melatonin.
Drink a warm cup of chamomile and take a shot of honey to the dome. Game changer.
7. You don't need to wash your honey dipper if you leave it in the jar of honey itself. Honey
is a natural preservative, so bacteria will not grow.
8. To make one pound of honey, bees need to visit 2 million flowers. 2 MILLION.

Tip&Trick Description 2:
9. Honey is the only food made by an insect that's actually eaten by BOTH the insect and us.
We're literally best friends.
10. Honey is one of the original remedies for an everyday cough & allergies. Local honey is
said to be useful in curing seasonal allergies.
11. Bees don't sleep. Work hard. Play hard.
12. Honey is excellent on burns. Cool the burn in running water. Pat it dry. Apply raw, organic
honey. It will speed up healing and even reduce any eventual scarring.
13. Babies under 12 months of age shouldn't ingest honey (their immune system isn't yet strong
enough to handle a certain strain of bacteria that's quite prevalent in honey)
14. Honey, like a lot of 'animal-based' products have a myriad of topical and oral applications
that make it incredibly versatile. Nature's all purpose drug.
15. The only honey that exists in my world is raw, organic unfiltered honey. To pasteurize
honey is to ruin the work of thousands of bees. You are literally a war criminal.
16. Everyone raves about Manuka honey, but the real ones have tried Jarrah. If you know, you
know.
17. Honey is one of the best hydration sources in the world. Honey > Pre Workout.
18. Honey is nature's moisturizer. |

18. Honey is nature's moisturizer.
19. Royal jelly is a special compound that worker bees secret; so potent it can transform an
ordinary bee into a queen bee. It's like a concentrated, supercharged version of honey.
20. The honey bee is a crucial part of our ecosystem. Without their help, over a third of all
food eaten in America wouldn't exist.
21. Honey should be a key ingredient in shampoos. Cleopatra did it. Why shouldn't we?
22. Bees communicate with other bees by dancing. That's how they signal where the best flowers
are. Seems familiar...
23. Honey is a source of flavanoids and phenolic acids — antioxidants which have been studied
to have incredible anti-inflammatory and even anti-cancer properties.
24. The hexagonal shape of honeycomb cells is a MARVEL. How did they know to use hexagons?
Hexagons are the most efficient shape to store the maximum amount of honey with the least
amount of wax needed to build. Geniuses.
To the anti-honey community:
When we eat honey we are NOT stealing from bees. It's a symbiotic relationship. We protect them
from the harsh conditions of nature, giving them a safe space to have their fun and make their
vomit.
They are so happy that they usually produce more honey than they could ever physically consume.
By consuming their excess honey, we are actually helping them restore balance in the hive.
So yes people, eat more honey. Buy all the varieties. Gift it to everyone around you. And
always remember to give thanks to our wonderful striped yellow friends

GORDO BANKS PANGAS
San Jose del Cabo
Anglers
July 5, 2015
We are now settling into the new month of July, weather on the horizon
remains calm at this time, no new tropical storms threatening, there are a
pair of low pressure areas far off towards the west, heading in the
direction of Hawaii, nothing to worry about in Southern Baja. With ocean
water temperatures ranging into the low 80s, these conditions can be ripe
for tropical storm systems to develop rapidly, so we will all be monitoring
forecasts closely.
Swells remain very moderate, currents are stronger that normal, winds were
somewhat unpredictable, at times picking up from the north and then just as
quickly shifting from out of the south, mainly from mid-day and into the
afternoon, early in the day ocean conditions were much calmer. Sportfishing
fleets have been concentrating on the grounds from outside of Cabo San
Lucas and north towards San Luis Bank.
Bait supplies often become more scattered during the full moon phase,
though at this time there have been both caballito and moonfish available.
On the offshore grounds there have been bolito, skipjack and some smaller
yellowfin tuna showing up, these can all be used for live bait as well.
There have been limited numbers of larger sized yellowfin tuna found
by sportfishers
traveling anywhere from 25 to 40 miles offshore, these tuna, up to 200
pounds, were traveling with pods of porpoise, striking on a variety of
lures, as well as available baitfish. A handful of yellowfin also were
hooked into off of the San Luis Bank by anglers that were targeting the red
snapper action that has been happening early morning on these grounds.
These tuna were ranging from smaller sized footballs, up to about 40 lb. No
significant numbers though, more tuna were seen at times, but it was
another story trying to entice them into biting, especially on days where
winds increased and currents were swift.
There are a wide selection of gamefish now present on the local grounds, a
time when offshore billfish grand slams are feasible, with there being
striped marlin, sailfish, black and blue marlin all being hooked into this
past week. Marlin have been found in close proximity to shore, most of this
action from 3 to 10 miles from shore. Blue water has recently been
encountered in close proximity on most days, fluctuating currents did move
off colored water in on occasions and boats would then travel further to
find cleaner areas. This is still the time of year when conditions are
stabilizing, as the hot summer season progresses, usually by mid-July we do
not have to deal with cooler Pacific currents working our direction, by
this time we would expect water temperatures of 85 degrees for the rest of
the summer.
One 400 pound class black marlin was reportedly landed by a charter based
out of Palmilla, also some blue marlin making their presence this past
week, most of these were in the 100 lb.to 200 lb. range. There are more
numbers of striped marlin than of the other species, a handful of sailfish
in the mix. Dorado were scattered, mixed sized, majority were smaller fish,
not in the numbers we would expect for this time period.
Many charters were doing some early morning bottom jigging or targeting
inshore roosterfish action, before trying some open blue water or outer
banks activity, this time of year there are a variety of options to choose
from and on any particular day a certain area can go off. The red snapper
(huachinango) bite has continued on the San Luis Bank, this has mainly been
an early morning bite on yo-yo jigs for snapper up to 12 lb., with Mexican
bonito, a few cabrilla or amberjack mixed in. This action had been more
consistent last week, but is still producing, we must remember factors such
as fast currents and bright full moon phases can change feeding habits.
Roosterfish continue to patrol inshore waters, this is peak season for
chances at finding trophy sized roosterfish, jack crevalle and dogtooth
snapper can also found close to during this season.
Wahoo became a bit more active mid-week, as many charters accounted for
wahoo while trolling Rapalas or smaller hoochie type lures on grounds north
of Punta Gorda, though again no numbers, most charters were fortunate to
land one of these elusive wahoo, weights ranged to 35 lb.
The combined panga fleets launching out of La Playita, Puerto Los Cabos
Marina sent out approximately 73 charters for the shortened week, with
anglers reporting a fish count of: 2 blue marlin, 5 sailfish, 29 striped
marlin, 1 island jack, 74 dorado, 11 wahoo, 14 yellowfin tuna, 9 amberjack,
14 cabrilla, 5 dogtooth snapper, 2 pargo colorado, 15 yellow snapper, 8
jack crevalle, 66 bonito, 58 roosterfish and 115 huachinango (red snapper).
Good fishing, Eric
