But regardless of who invented "Cortez fish trap," last week's historic albacore catch at East Cape, Baja (2003) California Sur, Mexico suggests an interesting alternative use for the phrase...http://www.mexfish.com/mexi/mexi/af030407/af030407.htm
An impromptu list of these "trapped" fishes provided by San Lucas Cove angler Jim Mori includes: white seabass, yellowfin and spotfin croaker, halibut, grunion, spotted bay bass, corbina, ocean whitefish, sheephead, and the rare gulf or Monterey sierra (Scomberomorus concolor).
All of these species are found in the Pacific, of course. They are also found in the northern Sea of Cortez, but not in its south end. They are "trapped," and the cut-off line is centered around Santa Rosalia.
