HEADLINES: March 21, 2016:
It ended pretty badly I must say: it seems JC caught Donald Trump down on the dock after Trump had flown in to Marlin fish, well anyway a war of words broke out and then things got ugly. It seems JC was the one who threw the first punch, cold cocking Trump. Well, Trump came back with a flying drop kick which caught JC in his jaw and knocked him out for a second. JC the rock that he is wasn't hurt a bit, he sprang back into action and caught Trump and put him in a Japanese Stranglehold and then flipped Trump over into the Chinese Telephone, which wasn't pretty at all. Trump remarkably came back and got JC in a toehold and then proceeded to put JC in a Butterfly / Banana Split, well that pretty much hurt JC until he pulled himself together and caught Trump off guard and was able to put Trump into a Chickenwing Camel Clutch in which he held him till Trump managed to put JC into a Three-Quarter Facelock. Well, we all thought it was over for JC but you never can under estimate the little cheat , all of the sudden JC breaks free, and puts Trump into a Rope-Hung Figure-Four Armlock as Trumped screamed in pain: JC was whispering to Fish Report Boy pass it to me, pass it to me. So the fool that Fish Report Boy is, did what JC asked: and passed him the "Foreign Object" well it was over for Trump after that. JC put Trump into the most gruesome hold he could think of the "Apache Indian Deathlock" and then proceeded to use "Mad Mountain Mikes Atomic Drop" and then to top it off JC put Trump into a headlock and made him say "Uncle Festus" in which the wuss that Trump is, he did it. Well, that was it for Trump he was sprawled on the dock, knocked out!!! JC was seen throwing Fish Report Boy something and everyone suspects it was the "Foreign Object" which is totally illegal. Anyway, that's the way it went down and the lies and legend of JC continue till next week?
Jc Sportfishing Charters is a family owned and operated business and has been fishing in Cabo San Lucas for the past 18 years. Jerry, explains that his charter business is geared more for families and novice anglers, making sure everyone who charters a boat with him have a great time and lots of fun. We welcome families, and groups. We want everyone who fishes with us to take all the sites in and have a memorable experience. This is what is most important to us. We have and do a few tournaments each year and can cater to fisherman who might be interested in tournament fishing. Well lets get on with the fishing report for this past week.
WEATHER: It has been pretty darn good over the last week with most days in the mid to ladder 80,s and lows in the 60,s at night. We can't get much better than that really. Not a lot of wind just a little breeze in the afternoons, but as far as fishing goes, it has been some pretty smooth seas making it a nice ride when out sport fishing.
WATER: On average the temperatures have been in the mid to low 70,s a little above average than normal. It should be cooler right now, but this year has been weird all year. Of course up inside of the Sea of Cortez is always much warmer than we have in Cabo as sometimes it's a whole different ball game down there as far as species being caught. The clash of the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez here in Cabo makes for a much different chain of events as far a fishing goes.

BILLFISH: Marlin fishing has been pretty good this past week around the 95 spot and now the fish are moving back up to the pacific side to the San Jamie Banks area. Most fish being caught have been taken on live bait and lures. I know some of the other fleets have caught fish in this area also from their reports.
Cabo has more Striped Marlin caught than anywhere on earth and here is a little info. About them The striped marlin is a species of marlin found in tropical to temperate Indo-Pacific oceans not far from the surface. It is a desirable commercial and game fish with a record weight (in 1982) of 190 kg (420 lb) and a maximum length of 4.2 m (13.8 ft). The striped marlin is a predator that hunts during the day in the top 100 meters or so of the water column, often near the surface. One of their chief prey is sardines.
DORADO: The Dorado fishing has been just ok as of now. We had thought they were long gone, but there is still some around to our surprise. It seems with the water warmer, it has kept them in the area somewhat so it's all good as far as we are concerned. They are hitting lures and live bait.
WAHOO: I did hear of a an 80lb pounder being caught this past week, but that's about it.
TUNA: I haven't heard of anything as far as Tuna goes as they seem to be long gone right now but they will show up sooner or later.
INSHORE: The inshore action has been pretty darn good. Actually the Redsnapper, Yellowtail and Grouper fishing has been good on Pacific side, Sierra action also has been consistent from Solmar to the Pump House on hootchies and striped bait also a few Amber Jacks being landed. The Jack Crevalle have been around with some being caught on the pacific side.

3 tablespoons chopped garlic, fresh (see tip) or 3 tablespoons from a jars
1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons paprika
fresh ground sea salt, to taste (see tip)

2. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Preheat large heavy bottom pan with the butter in it on medium. Toss shrimp around for about 10 minutes until pink and lightly browned.
4. TIPS: Do not substitute with garlic powder OR dried parsley! Sea salt is stronger than table salt so use less than normal. Table salt can be substituted.
5. Serve with steak or pasta with a white sauce.
6. I KNOW THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO MY OTHER SHRIMP RECIPE, BUT I MADE IT THIS WAY TONIGHT AND IT WAS SO UNBELIEVABLE THAT I HAD TO POST IT! EVEN BETTER THAN MY OTHER SHRIMP RECIPE!

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, garlic, red pepper flakes and shrimp. Season with grill seasoning or salt and pepper and cook shrimp 3 minutes or until just pink. Toss with lemon zest, juice and chopped parsley. Remove shrimp to a serving platter, leaving the garlic cloves in the pan.
Smoking Fish Information!!
The preservation of fish has been an integral part of every seafaring culture. Over the course of thousands of years of drying, salting and smoking fish the technique has developed to a point where once common food has become a delicacy. In this article, let's look at hot smoked fish. Cold smoking requires temperatures below 80 degrees F. For several days. Hot smoking, however, can be done at temperatures of up to 250 degrees F
And only takes a few hours. It is best to start with a salt water brine. The brining process is quick so don't worry about having to start out the day before. Plan on the fish being in the brine for about 15 minutes per 1/2 inch of thickness. Also plan on 1 quart of brine per pound of fish.
The brine can be simply salt and water. Plan on 1 tablespoon of plain salt, meaning salt without iodine, per cup of water. If you want to use tap water, let it sit in a large container without a lid to let the chlorine dissipate. The brine can also contain whatever seasonings you choose to add. You can replace some of the water with white wine, or you can add peppercorns, brown sugar, or any seasoning that you like with fish. But what kind of fish to use? Any fish will work. However fattier fish will absorb more smoke flavor, so fish like salmon and trout are perfect for smoking. You can use whole fish or parts, but fillets with the skin still on are better than other cuts.
BEWARE: Please beware of the guys in the street selling boat charters. If you wait till the day you are fishing and go to the dock where your boat is many times people will mislead you to another boat or dock trying to put you on a boat that was not meant for you. You need to have a person guide you to your boat, who is from a reputable charter company. This way there is no confusion or misleading. Please remember when renting Sport fishing boats in Cabo that you rent your boat from reputable and established business. Walk into a fishing fleet office and ask questions about what you are getting and what are the costs? You don't want to rent boats from vendors in the streets and you do not want to book through shady websites offering you the world. Check through travel forums about reputable fishing fleets to deal with. Look for testimonials about the fleet your booking, your charter with. Ask about what will the boat be supplying? Will it include beverages or lunches? How much does it cost to fillet your catch? Check to see if charter boat is insured? Ask about getting your catch smoked? Check cost of a fishing license. These are just a few things to consider when booking your charter boat. We will be talking more about this in the next weeks fishing report. Until next time good fishing and we hope to see you in Cabo soon.
