Weapons of mass destruction
The East Cape fishing season is rapidly coming to a close as weather changes and more kite boarders arrive. The water in the Sea of Cortez is still blue and above 80 degrees but history tells us these conditions will be short lived. A real time view of current East Cape weather can be viewed on our live webcams at: http://teamjenwren.com/east-cape-webcam.html
Fishermen on the East Cape have had to travel long distances and still struggle in search of action while in Cabo San Lucas action has been full throttle for the last several weeks.
Both Jen Wren boats participated in the WON tuna tournament in Cabo. Pre fish went very well but landing a money fish in the tournament didn't go our way. Winning is always the most fun but I have to tell you win lose or draw at this tournament a great time is had by all. Pat McDonald and WON do an incredible job putting it all together and this year was no exception. My hat is off to them.
After enduring the strongest hurricane in recorded history "Cabo strong" is the motto in Cabo San Lucas. There is still evidence of the destruction caused but the community has banded together to rebuild and make certain visitors have a good time.
Following the tournament we were scheduled to depart for Mag Bay. Because fishing was so good in Cabo and reports of tough fishing in Mag our guests decided that we should change plans and just fish Cabo. I love Mag and initially was a little disappointed but in the end believe it was a good decision. Jim Froehlich had been trying to catch a marlin on the fly for several years and we checked that one off his bucket list. He also landed a 50lb tuna and countless bull dorado on his fly gear. After an outstanding trip we agreed that next year would be Mag Bay or bust.
We just put Jen Wren III in dry dock for winter and I was amazed how big her arsenal is. It didn't look like much with everything in its place on the boat but in one big heap, yikes!
That is the new Accurate SR6 in my hand. For light tackle it stands up. All the Accurates on the glass table are like fine jewelry. Matched with Calstar rods this gear is a perfect weapon of mass destruction for fishermen.
Humpback arriving is a sure sign of winter
Shrimpers also come with winter
Obviously a Cabo tuna. East Cape hasn't seen a fish like that for more than a month.
Fish were eating the fly so well I got in on the action
50 lb tuna on the fly is impressive
Bucket list marlin
Dorado
Sailfish action
