Aug 9, 2023; 11:24PM - Interesting fish hook find

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Was shark meat a part of the cuisine in ancient Israel over 6,000 years ago? Archaeologists
have recently uncovered a significant clue suggesting so. In the archaeological site of
Ashkelon, one of the oldest copper fishhooks was found, shedding light on the past. This
fishhook, originating from an agricultural village during the Chalcolithic period, is believed
to have played a role in community-wide deep-sea fishing expeditions.
Ashkelon, a city layered with history, was constructed atop an ancient seaport bearing the same
name. Its roots extend as far back as ancient Egypt, with previous findings unearthing
structures from the Byzantine and Roman eras. The discovered hook measures approximately 6.5
centimeters in length and 4 centimeters in width. This size indicates its capacity to capture
marine creatures, including sharks measuring between 2 and 3 meters, or large fish like tuna—
both commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea.
Considering the insights marine biologists possess about the deep-sea ecosystems in this
region, it's plausible that sharks were a prime target for these fishing endeavors. |

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT APRIL 4-10, 2004
WEATHER: I swear to you that I am not making this up, but once again we have an almost
identical repeat of last weeks weather. Maybe I am starting to sound like a broken record, but
hear me out. The week started with wonderful calm weather, sunny and warm with not a cloud in
the sky. On Tuesday the wind started to blow as cloud cover moved in. It started to blow hard
on Wednesday and on Friday a lot of boats cancelled their trips. On Saturday the wind started to
die back down and the clouds moved away. Sigh. Night time lows were in the area of 60 degrees
while the daytime highs ranged from 82 to 98 degrees, depending on where you were and the day
of the week!
WATER: Down to a low of 59 degrees right at the Cape at the end of the week, the water close
to home has been very, very cold! Thank goodness the water warms up as you get offshore, or
we might just be looking at another Albacore bite (not that would be a bad thing). One you got
around 15 miles out the water started to warm up and on the Sea of Cortez side that meant that
you were looking at temperatures that may have hit the low 70’s. Directly to the south the water
continued to stay cold as the currents carried that chilly stuff almost thirty miles out before it
began to dissipate. Out on the Pacific side the normal temperature break area, between the
Golden Gate and the San Jaime Banks continued to run true to form. Once you reached the rise
the water started to warm up, but for most of the week it was just so rough out there that no one
was going. Up the Cortez the water inshore began to warm up as well and it was a good thing, as
that was almost the only area the smaller boats could concentrate on without getting slammed
around.
BAIT: The normal $2 per bait for Caballito with very few small Mackerel available. I did not
hear of any Sardines making it down to Cabo from San Jose.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Heck, I have no idea what to say about the Bill fish this week except that some
boats were lucky and caught some. I would have to venture a guess that for most of the week
one in twenty boats were lucky to get hooked up, and of them, maybe half got the fish to the boat.
A lot of it had to do with the full moon, but the water temperature and surface conditions
contributed as well. Some of the boats that did catch fish were catching them on lures, bait was
not working real well. After banging heads around after a few beers, we have come up with a
pretty good reason (at least it sounds like it after a couple!), too much squid around for the
Marlin to be interested in Mackerel or Caballito. Why should they work hard at chasing small fish
when they can eat squid candy. That also migh explain why most of the fish caught on lures were
caught on ones that were in squid colors! Most of the fish found were at the temperature breaks
and that was almost the only place.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: A repeat of last weeks report on the Tuna. Almost all the Yellowfin I saw
or heard about this week were football fish and many of them were not found with Porpoise, but
instead found in free swimming schools. Small feathers in dark colors worked well as did larger
lures in Petrelero (sure must be a lot of squid out there now). The Sea of Cortez side, out to 15
miles while the wind blew, and out a bit farther after it stopped on the weekend had the majority
of the fish, perhaps due to the small temperature break there. There were a few larger fish found
and caught, but they were around the San Jaime and for most of the week the water was too
rough to get to them.
DORADO: Same as last week! Scattered fish, and good sized ones, were the order for the week.
Many of the Dorado found and caught were in the 25-50 pound class. Marlin lures in Petrelero
go the first ones and live bait on the drop back usually hooked up another. Warmer water, out
past the temperature break was where most of the fish were found, though there were a few found
close to shore on the Cortez side up around the Palmilla Hotel.
WAHOO: Even with the full moon there were not many Wahoo found this week. Cold water
may have been the reason because I did hear that there was a bit of a bite happening up around
the north end of Punta Gorda, and the water was warmer up there.
INSHORE: Slow fishing in rough water, but those that could handle it found fair fishing up
around the lighthouse on the Pacific side for Yellowtail to 25 pounds on live bait dropped deep.
There were also Sierra in the 4 to 8 pound range in the same area as well as right in the Cabo San
Lucas Bay. Elsewhere the inshore action was slow with only a few fish found.
NOTES: Not a red banner week on the fishing front, nor on the weather front! (that was a
repeat of the first line from last weeks report!) We need warm water, no wind and then things
will take off! Around the town, things are busy as it is Semana Santa, or Holy Week, and
everyone is on Holiday! Lots of people out and about but the fun police are out as well. Sigh, a
couple of live music sets at the beach and the fun police shut down Brian Flynn’s indoor/outdoor
gig at the beach. Heck, if I wanted this I would have moved to southern California (the state, that
is!)! No music this week as it is late at my house, Mary is asleep and I have to get up early and
fish on Easter Sunday! Until next week, tight lines!
