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

Cabo Fish Report
Nov. 14-20, 2005
WEATHER: There was no change in the weather this week as our day time highs were in the high 80s and our nighttime lows were in the mid 60s. We had a few high clouds late in the week but there was no rain.
WATER: Surface conditions were great no matter which way you went this week, on the Pacific side seas were slight at 1-3 feet and only slight breezes from the NW and on the Sea of Cortez the conditions were the same, with slight breezes from the north. Up past the Gorda Bank on the Sea of Cortez the water became pretty green, but the temperature remained at 79-81 degrees. On the Pacific side the water was the same out to the San Jaime and then to the south, but farther west and north it dropped into the mid 70s with the area around Golden Gate Bank a cool 72 degrees. The temperature break on the Pacific side is still there and I tried to work it several times last week, but without much in the way of luck, it was holding bait but I found no big fish marks and there was little surface activity.
BAIT: There were plenty of Mackerel available at the normal $2 per bait early in the week and there were also a few Caballito as well but at the end of the week bait became hard to come by. A lot of boats were making their own bait instead of buying it. I have not heard anything on the Sardinas.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: The only billfish activity I have heard about this week has been about Striped Marlin, I have heard of no Blues or Blacks caught this week, and only a couple of Sailfish. There are fish on the Pacific side of the cape from right in front of the light house on up the coast but the concentrations seem to be on the Golden Gate Bank and they are getting hit hard by the fleet boats without the range to get to the Finger Bank. There are immense concentrations of Mackerel on the Golden Gate and most of the boats are catching them on Sabiki rigs then dropping them back down on weighted lines to hook up to Marlin and an occasional Dorado, Tuna and Wahoo. The Golden Gate has also become an important stop for the faster boats that are continuing on up the line to the Finger Bank. Stopping at the Golden and fishing bait for an hour has almost become a necessity as the bait the Marlin are feeding on at the Finger Bank are Sardines and almost impossible to catch. Filling up the bait tanks then continuing on can put you in the middle of some of the most fantastic Marlin action available, and we can only hope the action continues as the fish start to move closer. It is not uncommon to hear of boats getting 30 bites, but far fewer hook-ups of course. At least the mackerel are the right size, close to the 5-6Sardinas. A dozen releases on a day trip to the Finger Bank was common this week, and what kept a lot of the boats from getting more than that was the lack of enough bait.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: I was hearing about some decent Yellowfin showing up to the north, most of it information from boats working the area of the Finger Bank. There was some mid-week action to the south about 20 miles, but the fish moved through pretty quickly. Most of the fish caught mid-week were in the football to 30 pound class, the fish to the north are reported to be a bit larger, 40-50 pounds, but they are moving around a lot.
DORADO: As the water has cooled down close to home so has the Dorado bite. There are still boats getting one or two fish per trip, but only a few have been doing better than that. A couple of boats that have gone a little farther up the line past the finger banks have reported good Dorado catches, probably because of all the bait in the area. Their fish were averaging 25 pounds and many of them were larger. 5-8 fish per boat was not unexpected once the fish were found, and most of them were caught by dropping back a live bait after the first one hooked on the troll was brought behind the boat.
WAHOO: There were a few scattered fish reported but no great action on these speedsters this week.
INSHORE: I had reports of some Roosterfish, decent Pargo, a few early, small sierra and reports of a few Yellowtail beginning to show up. Live bait and vertical jigging were the way to go fir the inshore species this week.
NOTES: Its not too late to get in on the hot Striped Marlin action. It is still going off but who knows how long it can last. I just hope the fish continue to move in our direction so everyone can get in on the bite. For this past week I would have to say the action was a bit slower than normal with the exception of the Golden Gate and Finger Banks, and a lot of people may have been a bit disappointed in the local catch rates, but at least the water was great! My fingers are crossed that the close to home activity will pick up and we will not have to be making 2 hour runs to get to the fish. Until next week, Tight Lines!
