| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

Tip&Trick Description 1:
Take apart a steelhead spin-and-glow. Slide a small bead down your leader on top of your hoochy ( plastic skirt )
slide on the spinner. Looks great trolling for halibut, stripers. Probably makes some noise too while going through the water.. Have fun |

Endless Season Update 08/16/2009
REPORT #1178 'Below the Border' Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
East Cape
Had the dorado foaming behind the boat this morning and told your client to grab the fly rod. His response was later. Got limits of dorado and needlefish, and also got him his first marlin ever!
Even though we got out late, bait wasnt a problem; its on the small side for the hook but fine for chumming. Fished the same place where we barely scratched out some skipjack yesterday; today there were dorado everywhere.
By 10:30 the client asked what his chances were of catching a marlin. I'm thinking not good with the little time we have to work with and why would we leave this? I plunked in the marlin lures. We were not a half mile off shore by the light house and wham! A striper just commits suicide. The only thing I was not able to get in all the cluster was good photos.
Continuing todays storythe fly guy was having so much fun I couldn't get him to pick up the fly rod. Finally, in all the commotion I thought, Gary is not going to be pleased if we don't get a dorado on the fly. So I picked up the rod and started to strip line. Something I quickly discovered is EVERYBODY has to be on the fly page. Every time I started to cast, someone would step in front or behind me and foul the line. I was good with it until Chuy came up behind me with a rod. I thought I was going to choke him. He looked at me like I was nuts. We are talking three to five pound dorado.
I had a few follows and changed the fly a couple of times because it just seemed like they didn't want to bite it. It would attract them but I couldn't close the deal. All in all I spent more time getting out tangles because of the fire drill on the boat than having the bait in the right spot. You need to understand the client and his wife were pinned to the rail with these fishMark Rayor
I've been trying to do some catching. But the swell has been really big and the water kind of beat up. Add in the oppressive heat and it's a recipe for tough fishing. The swell is supposed to subside in the next few days. I hope to get some quality fishing inLance Peterson

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico
Captain Sergio reported a large volume of dorado has moved in ten miles from the Boca de Soledad entrance. Some of the fish topped thirty-five pounds. He went on to say that there were plenty of smaller yellowtail and yellowfin tuna in the same area.
Snapper and grouper are still being caught on the rock reefs a few miles offshore.
Outside of the Entrada on a west heading, the shark fishermen reported a good show of dorado near the shark buoys.
Inside the bay the action remained consistent for sierra, corvina and a few leopard grouper in the deeper waterBob Hoyt

Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
The blue water remains close to the beach with the action for the offshore species about typical for this time of the yeara couple of sailfish per day per boat, and a few dorado are being taken by the fleet.
The best action is inshore with lots of jack crevalle and roosterfish. Fly fishing clients David and Sarah Henry of Langley, British Columbia fished with Adolfo and Cheva on the panga Dos Hermanos up near the Pantla area and wore themselves out on jack crevalle.
Then they fished with Cheva and me for roosters down at Puerto Vicente Guerrero, which was more of a learning curve day. The waves were large and fairly dangerous and we only raised eight roosters.
On Friday, with the waves settled down and they now being experienced, we raised about 20 roosters, with Sarah getting one which will be submitted for an IGFA 8 kilo line class recordEd Kunze
