Looks, as if JC and Chris have pulled of a daring escape from the Marlin Boot Camp where they were being held. It is alleged that JC instructed Chris to get a message to Darrel, to fly the Whirly Bird into the Marlin Boot Camp compound. Darrel is the guy who watches the East Cape Ranch for Chris and sits out there watching the Mangos grow.
Chris says: ¨Look, Darrel is my right hand man and if I tell him to bring in the chopper, he will¨.
It seems JC did it again, staging a mutiny and then escaping from Marlin Boot Camp by pretending to go on a hunger strike. It looks as if the lil rat didn't eat for like a week before they sent him to Marlin Boot Camp Hospital, where Chris had got a job working as a nurse. Then the two clowns bribed a guard to get them outside on to the grassy knoll, then JC pulled out his bullhorn and ordered all the Marlin Boot Camp inmates to mutiny and riot over bad living conditions. Well, that's all it took and here came old Darrel flying in with the chopper taking out a guard tower with the rotor blades and scooping up JC and Chris, then JC grabbed the controls of the bird and flew to his office, landing right in front of Dairy Queen, where they found Fish Report Boy with his legs propped up on JC,s desk acting like he owned the joint.
JC Screamed: ¨I am back you little worm, now get out of my office and go write that stupid report you write for me¨.
Chris shouted: ¨Fish Report Boy you are everything JC told me you were, a little Twirp he found on some Arkansa farm pond, fishing for Perch with Salmon Eggs, drinking 16 ounce Burgies and eating a bag of Fritos¨.
I will get your job one day Fish Boy!! Wait!!!
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 the weather has been cloudy and even rainy alot of this past week. With rain showers off and on all day yesterday and today as I write this report. We have a tropical rain storm to our south east that is dropping participation through out our fishing grounds and most of Baja California Sur. We have probably picked up a couple inches of rain over the last few days and it seems it mite be around for at least Wednesday.
WATER: The water is kind of all over the place with some storms passing by us, making for a real large washing machine out there spitting out different currents and sea conditions. Most of our area is still with warm temperatures from 82 to 89 degrees.
Please check out the Tempbreak map link below to get a good idea on water temperatures.

BILLFISH: Sailfish is the fish of the week!!! Lots of Sailfish action along with strong Sriped Marlin and Blue Marlin catches being reported. All across the board for Billfishing is strong right now and has been for the last month and a half. The hot spots for the Marlin are from the 95 spot to up to San Jamie Banks and ost fish are being taken on live bait and lures. Well if you go out and land a couple Marlin and when your heading in ask the captain to pull in tight to the beach and do some Sailfish fishing. This has been one of the best years I can remember for Sailfish. Grey Rock up to Margarita have been good using lures, live bait and ballyhoo. They have been landing some really good size Sails.
Sailfish have just been off the hook which is normal to Puerta Vallarta but not Cabo, so we aren't complaining as it is all good action if we Catch and Release any Billfish catches.
DORADO: It isn't like last week it has bee pretty much hit and miss this week. Much better than it has been over the last month with some pretty decent action in some spots. Most of them have been smaller, ranging from 6lb to 15lbs, but we have had some up to 30lb to 40lbs.
SWORDFISH: Hasn't heard of any caught this week.
WAHOO: Still some Wahoo around this past week. Not like last week but if you use Purple and Black Jet and 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 most in the 15lbs to 35lbs range.
TUNA: Lots of great Tuna action this past week with most being landed up and around the San Jamie Banks on cedar plugs and striker kings. Most are football size Tuna but some have tipped the scales at up over 100lbs using live bait along with lures, and our own Bob Marlin Sportfisher did land one very big Yellowfin tipping the scales at 205lbs. The fatboy took 3 hours and 45 minutes to land and the guys were kite fishing to land the big one.
INSHORE: Strong Saifish action inshore with most being caught tighter to the beach within a mile or so of shore.Tuna on sardines from Grey Rock to the Pump House has also been hot. Some 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. It mite be worth grabbing a Panga and going out for a 5 hour excursion to see what happens inshore.

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. Come by the office here in Cabo and get all the latest up to date fishing report. http://www.jcsportfishing.com http://youtu.be/tSXN6pifQyQ
