HEADLINES: September 11, 2016
The Marlin Chronicles will be coming out soon in theatres near you. JC was seen on the red carpet promoting his new movie about the life and times of a Marlin Fisherman. Fish Report Boy Screamed: “Stop, Stop all this stuff about JC, its all lies, the lil jackass thinks he is god. Movie, Stand up Comedian, Book Author, Song Writer its all lies, lies, and more lies. These idiots Chris and Darrel all they do is talk about JC, well I am here to tell everyone the truth, JC is a legend in his own mind!!! Fish Report Boy whispered: “Look I will probably get fired for these comments, JC is the Idi Amin Dada of fishing, who was known as the ‘Butcher of Alaska’ for his brutal, despotic rule in Alaska whilst president of Salmon fishing in the 1970s, Estimates for the number of Salmon who were either killed, tortured, or imprisoned vary from 100,000 to half a million. Fish Report Boy went on to say this the Butcher has no mercy on any fish, not even a Bluegill. Around, all the bait and Tackle stores in Alaska JC is called the Colonel Gaddafi of Trout Fishing. Fish Report Screamed: “Dont anyone get it, Dont anyone care!!!!
JC,s LEGEND and LIES will continue 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: Well, Hurricane Newton did roll through Cabo and we made it through the storm really with no serious damage. What I can say is the storm was nothing to play with and we had gusts of winds up to 90 miles an hour. Luckily we made it through with a few trees down, and power outages, for like a day for most people. We still have a while till hurricane season is over with and it can’t come sooner.

WATER: Well the water has been cooling down some and we expect it to continue to cool over the next few days. It has had an effect on the fishing it seems when the water cools some we are seeing more action.
Please check out the Tempbreak map link below to get a good idea on water temperatures.
www.tempbreak.com/index.php?&cwregion=cb


BILLFISH: The Blue Marlin fishing has slowed some compared to what it was over the last month. There was only a few Blues caught over this last week and one of them was a 150lb fish our boats caught. The Striped Marlin fishing has been still pretty strong with some good number throughout the fishing grounds. If you use ballyhoo, lures and live bait for the Stripers you will most likely land some fish. The hot spots for Marlin about 4 to 9 miles offshore up and around the Horseshoe to Jamie Banks, the Margarita area and Los Arcos near Todo Santos. The Sailfish bite has slowed as the Striped Marlin were really the talk of the town over this past week.


DORADO: The Dorado fishing was better this past week and we are hoping it gets better with the water temperatures normal but we sure don’t need any of that green algae bloom which will really slows the bite down. I am thinking that this warm water we have in the area is just too much for them and they are staying away. We haven’t seen really too much good Dorado action all year as it has been pretty much hit and miss but over last 2 weeks, but it’s starting to kick into gear big time. Lots of the fish are small but there is some big ones lurking around always which makes for some great action.

SWORDFISH: Hasn’t heard of any caught this week.

WAHOO: The Wahoo fishing has slowed over the past week with really not the numbers we were seeing but still ok.

TUNA: The Tuna have been very hard to find this past week and when you do find them most are football size fish, with lots of work for the big Tuna. The Tuna have been moving up north towards the Finger Bank, so it is one heck of a boat ride to get to them .The Tuna have been hard to catch actually with most fish hitting king busters, but the bigger Tuna are biting live bait and lures.
ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif
INSHORE: The inshore fishing has just been ok with most of the action due to Roosterfish and they have been some decent size fish at 25 to 35lbs has been normal. There has been some good Amberjack action reported using iron. Small Tuna on sardines has been good inshore if you can find the sardines. From Grey Rock to the Pump House has been the area for decent Tuna and even Sailfish action using ballyhoo. Some small Dorado every once in a while have been landed.
It might be worth grabbing a Panga and going out for a 5 hour excursion to see what happens inshore.

JC,s Baja Tuna Salad Recipe!!!

Tuna Salad with Fresh Tuna
Makes about 2 cups of salad
2 5-ounce cans water-packed tuna fish
2 to 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 rib celery, diced small
1 small shallot or 1/4 red onion, diced small
1 tablespoon lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)
1 tablespoon pickle relish, optional
Salt and pepper

Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, celery, shallot, lemon juice, pickle relish (if using), a sprinkle of salt, and a few cracks of fresh black pepper to the tuna fish. Stir with a fork to combine, breaking up any large chunks of tuna fish as you go. Add more mayo if you’d like smoother, creamier tuna salad. Taste and add more of any of the ingredients to taste.

Use immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tuna Salad Variations
· Use yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter salad.
· Use extra-virgin olive oil instead of mayo for a looser salad.
· Use canned salmon, smoked trout, or leftover chicken in place of the tuna.
· Add diced apples, raisins, or dried fruit to the basic recipe.
· Add diced fennel, shredded cabbage, diced cucumbers, or any other crunchy vegetable.
· Add a dash of curry powder, dukkah, harissa, chopped fresh herbs, or any other spice mix in your cupboard.
· Tuna and mayo — it’s as simple as you can get, and a perfectly acceptable lunch.


JC,s Baja Tuna Linguine!!
Marinating tuna and chopped tomatoes in wine, lemon zest and olive oil for an hour makes a fresh, simple pasta sauce.

INGREDIENTS

· 2 tablespoons pine nuts

· 1 pound tuna steak, cut into 1/2-inch dice

· 1/2 cup dry white wine

· 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

· 1/2 pound cherry tomatoes, coarsely chopped

· 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

· 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fennel fronds

· 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

· 1 pound linguine

· Salt and freshly ground pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a small skillet, toast the pine nuts over moderate heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the tuna, wine and lemon zest, 1/2 cup of the cherry tomatoes and 2 tablespoons each of the olive oil and fennel fronds. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep skillet. Add the crushed red pepper and the remaining cherry tomatoes and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is flavorful, about 10 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, cook the linguine in boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the linguine.

4. Add the tuna mixture and the remaining 2 tablespoons of fennel fronds to the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring just until the tuna starts to whiten, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the linguine and the reserved pasta cooking water and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.

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.

Fish Report Boy: Screamed , “yea im back, I quit last week but it didn’t work out with the circus, besides, JC the worm called, and said he needed my help. I guess he was court ordered to Marlin Boot Camp, by a judge in Mexico. It was either Marlin Boot Camp or Jail. I don’t even know what the lil Twirp did, but he took that clown Chris with him to camp. Maybe those 2 fools will lean something? I doubt it, but maybe!! Fish Report Boy says: JC, “Im in charge now not you, and I hope Chris is in there a long, long time. Things are going to change JC, no more glitz and glamour which you love, no more ebooks, no more songs, no more Dome of Silence, no more Donald Trump lies, no more fishing stories, and that ritual of you standing in the mirror every morning chanting that stupid Marlin song you wrote and then looking at yourself for a half an hour, is going to end, just STOP, STOP, STOP!!!
I was sent to a Carp Boot Camp once for 45 days and I came out a better man. While you are in Marlin Boot Camp JC: “Your LEGENDS and LIES are going to end”.
Fish Report Boy says: I love to see that Mango Farmer Chris in Boot Camp”I am sending a couple boys over to the ranch in the EAST Cape to pick them Mango trees Clean. LOL, LOL, LOL

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: Let it rain!! Let it rain!!Let it rain!! While it has been pretty hot and sunny most all of this past week we are expecting tropical storm Newton this next week on Tuesday. Newton could have hurricane force winds with it and we know we are going to get a good down pour at the least. Today is cloudy and overcast but really that’s what comes when your in Cabo in September.

WATER: Well the water has been very nice right up to today actually. It has started churning with some swells coming in now as I write the report. Newton is coming soon and we expect mostly a rain event out of it, but it will churn up the water bigtime.
Please check out the Tempbreak map link below to get a good idea on water temperatures.
www.tempbreak.com/index.php?&cwregion=cb

BILLFISH: We have been averaging like 3 to 5 Striped Marlin hookups a day on our boats over the last 3 days. There is really a lot of fish around and they are hitting live bait, lures and ballyhoo. All Billfishing is really strong over the past week, with Most of the action is on the Pacific side from Grey Rock to Ranch Migrino has been hot lately. Strong Striped Marlin fishing all week. JC says, “we have been having very good Billfish fishing for like 3 weeks now” it has been a great year for Blue Marlin and we expect it to keep being good through out October and tournament season
DORADO: Well we were wondering where all the Dorado were and now they have shown up in numbers. Much better than it has been over the last month with some pretty good action pretty much all over the place but really good tight to the beach. Most of them have been ranging from 12lb to 120lbs, but we have had some up to 30lb to 40lbs.
SWORDFISH: Hasn’t heard of any caught this week.

WAHOO: Purple and Black Jet Heads are working really good this week for Wahoo. Lots of good action at Grey Rock and in front of the Pedregal Rocks. If you troll really fast inshore we are sure you will see some action.. They are hitting rapalas deep divers and or downrigging rapalas. Some have been taking on live bait and some reaching 35lbs to 50lbs.

TUNA: Tuna fishing has been pretty much hit and miss over the past week and most being caught are football size fish with some big one being landed once in a while. If you do run into a school there is a good chance you would land a big one. We have to run aways to have a chance to run into any sort of schools. At leaset we are seeing some Tuna action and the smaller ones are really good to eat and I have added some good Skip Jack recipes to this report and basically you can use the same recipe for the football size Tunas being caught.

INSHORE: Tuna, Wahoo and Dorado action have propelled the inshore action this past week. It has been pretty hot on all species inshore. You will likely catch Wahoo on Jet Heads and black and purple Rapalas. Dorado inshore you will catch with live bait and trolling lures. Rooster are of course making things happen close to shore also, so it is pretty wide open right now inshore. Some Skip Jacks are hitting also with some good numbers being reported. There has been Striped Marlin reported caught inshore also on Pangas so it mite be worth grabbing a Panga and going out for a 5 hour excursion to see what happens inshore.

JC,s Baja Wahoo "Mojo de Ajo"!!


We are BIG fans of Wahoo fish and with having lived in Baja , we had many occasions to experiment with this fine fish…

Ono or Wahoo, they are one and the same! Wahoo fish is the fastest fish in the ocean and it’s firm white flaky flesh is such a perfect texture for grilling. It is considered a prize fish when caught and is often called "ono".

One important issue with Wahoo is it can be dry, so it is important not to overcook it!

A great grilled Wahoo fish recipe is with "Mojo de Ajo" sauce. The translation is essentially "drenched in garlic". This dish is simple and a crowd pleaser.It is an easy and delicious toasted garlic butter. For garlic lovers,it will become a family favorite.

Also,keep in mind that this Mojo de Ajo Sauce can be used with any fish or shellfish. I really like this with is Tombo/ Fresh Albacore Tuna, grilled medium rare. We actually brought this back from our days of living in Mexico.

One important note, check out our other fish pages too! Many of the sauces and preparations work super for Ono or Wahoo!

For four portions

4 Six to 8 ounce Ono/Wahoo fish Filets

A mild fish rub or paprika

Salt and Pepper

Canola Oil for prepping the fish for the grill

1/8 stick of butter

3 to 4 cloves fresh Garlic smashed with the flat side of the knife then slice thin.

2 Key Limes or 1 large Lime

Salt and Pepper to taste

Chopped Cilantro for garnish

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: Really good weather over the last week with many hot and sunny days, nothing like last week where we had lots of rain and overcast skies. It seems also we have been spared some storms so far this year and we hope we can get through this month and September. Highs have been in the ladder 90,s with lows in the low 70,s range. I have been monitoring the weather channels for storms in the eastern pacific and it has been pretty slow as of lately.

WATER: It seems to be changing and cooling down on the Pacific side according to the Tempbreak map. Some areas it is down to 79 degrees and should be cooling off some over the next month. East Cape area still with very warm water up to 88 degrees. Much calmer seas as of the last week with no storms so that was a good news for anglers going out on the local sport fishers.
Please check out the Tempbreak map link below to get a good idea on water temperatures.
www.tempbreak.com/index.php?&cwregion=cb

BILLFISH: Very good Bill fishing for the past month and a half really, lots of Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin but the Sailfish has slowed big time over this time last year when it was all Sailfish. Now the Blue Marlin have unleashed giving us lots of great sportfishing action. We have been hooking record amounts of fish and losing a lot also. Probably, more Ble Marlin than I have ever seen here in Cabo over the last 20 years. Lots of fish up and around Ranch Migrino to San Jamie Banks and there hitting ballyhoo, live bait and lures, but mostly ballyhoo is what is landing them. Everything is strong so you really don’t know what your going to land, as it could be a big Blue Marlin, or even a Black Marlin as it is that time of year for them, and who knows.

DORADO: Were not catching to many Dorado here in Cabo now but up north in Mag Bay it is wide open there. Some reports indicate some really big Bull Dorados being taken. The water up there is really much cooler than what we have been experiencing here in Cabo so we are expecting that when some of that cooler water rolls into our area we will see some good Dorado action also. It has been a really weird year for Dorado as there hasn’t been to many around and it is very similar to last year even when it was hit or miss.

SWORDFISH: Hasn’t heard of any caught this week.

WAHOO: I really slowed on the WAHOO this past week we were really going like gangbusters for like 2 weeks, and now it is normal, meaning when we get a Wahoo we fell pretty lucky that we will be having a great dinner of grilled Whaoo.

TUNA: We aren’t catching a lot but when we do run into a school they are normally nice sized fish. A lot of Tuna action were seeing was mostly football size Tuna being caught tight to the beach using Cedar Plugs and King Busters. The bigger Tuna have moved up and around Jamie Banks. It was good Tuna action at the start of the week but they have moved on since then.
INSHORE: Rooster fish is the main story inshore, along with some Skip Jack. The water has been a little murky, and churned up over the last 2 weeks with all the rain we have had. Small Tuna on sardines has been good inshore if you can find the sardines. From Grey Rock to the Pump House has been the area for decent Tuna and even Sailfish action using ballyhoo. Some small Dorado every once in a while have been landed.

It might be worth grabbing a Panga and going out for a 5 hour excursion to see what happens inshore.

JC,s Baja Shrimp Scampi with Linguini!


Ingredients
1 pound linguini
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 shallots, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves

Directions
Watch how to make this recipe.
For the pasta, put a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When it has come to the boil, add a couple of tablespoons of salt and the linguini. Stir to make sure the pasta separates; cover. When the water returns to a boil, cook for about 6 to 8 minutes or until the pasta is not quite done. Drain the pasta.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the shallots, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) until the shallots are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add them to the pan and cook until they have turned pink, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan; set aside and keep warm. Add wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil. When the butter has melted, return the shrimp to the pan along with the parsley and cooked pasta. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over a bit more olive oil and serve immediately.

JC,s Baja Grilled Shrimp Tacos and Avacado Salsa!!

These shrimp tacos are perfect for a casual and fun summer dinner party. You can prepare most of the recipe ahead of time, then just fire up the grill and lay out all of the components for everyone help themselves. It’s one of those recipes with a long list of ingredients but please don’t let that discourage you; they are truly very quick and easy to make! As with all of my shrimp recipes, I recommend buying frozen shrimp labeled “shell split and deveined.” Most shrimp are cleaned and flash frozen shortly after being caught, so the “fresh” shrimp you see in the seafood case at the supermarket is typically thawed frozen shrimp. Who knows how long it’s been sitting there, so you’re better off buying frozen and defrosting it yourself. Come dinnertime, all you have to do is run it under warm water to defrost, then peel. Begin by making the avocado salsa. Combine the garlic, shallot and jalapeño pepper in a food processor and process until finely minced. For the jalapeño pepper, I like to cut the flesh off the seeds and stem, leaving the spiciest part of the pepper behind. Of course, if you like more heat, throw in some of the seeds. (If you touch the seeds, just be sure to wash your hands well and avoid touching your eyes.) Next, seed and chop the tomato and add it to the jalapeño mixture Cut a grid into the avocado, then use a soup spoon to scoop out the chunks. Add the avocado to the jalapeño mixture, along with the salt, fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. Stir to combine. When you taste it, you might worry it’s too spicy but, rest assured, it’ll be perfect combined with the shrimp and fixins in the tortilla. It’s not intended to be eaten on its own like guacamole. Next, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, salt and a hint of cayenne pepper. Grill the shrimp over medium heat. The reason I use large shrimp for this recipe is so that they don’t fall through the grates. If you’re worried your shrimp will slip through, you can always thread them on skewers or just cook them indoors in a saute pan. Either way, be careful not to overcook them — they only need a minute or two per side. Finally, heat the tortillas on the grill or in the microwave, and assemble the tacos with all the fixins. Serve with Margaritas and enjoy!

Ingredients

For the Salsa

· 1 small shallot
· 1 jalapeno pepper, quartered and seeded
· 2 garlic cloves, peeled
· 1 tomato, seeded and chopped
· 1 avocado, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
· 3/4 teaspoon salt
· 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, from half a lime
· 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
For the Shrimp

· 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
· 1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
· 1/2 teaspoon salt
· Scant 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
· 1-1/2 pounds large or extra large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
For Assembling

· 8 – 10 six-inch corn or flour tortillas
· Approximately 2 cups chopped red cabbage, for garnish (I buy it pre-chopped in a bag)
· 2 limes, cut into wedges, for garnish
· Approximately 1 cup sour cream, for garnish
Instructions

1. Make the Salsa: Put the shallot, jalapeno and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped (a mini food processor is best, but large will work too). Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Add chopped tomatoes, avocado, salt, lime juice and cilantro and stir to combine. Set aside. (If not using right away, place a piece of saran wrap inside the bowl and directly over salsa to prevent discoloration and refrigerate.)

2. Make the Shrimp: Heat grill to medium. Meanwhile, mix the olive oil, chili powder, salt, cayenne pepper and shrimp in a large bowl. Stir until shrimp are evenly coated with seasoning. Grease grill with a wad of paper towels dipped in vegetable oil or non-flammable cooking spray. Place shrimp on grill and cook until just opaque, about 1-1/2 – 2 minutes per side. Cover to keep shrimp warm.

3. Grill the tortillas until warm and slightly charred, about 20 seconds per side. (Alternatively, heat tortillas in microwave according to package instructions.)

4. Spoon avocado salsa generously over warm tortillas, then top with 3 shrimp, red cabbage and dollops of sour cream. Serve tacos with lime wedges on the side.
