Cabo San Lucas - Saltwater Fishing Report
Our report is compiled from the catches of our fleet.
We'll update the report every Monday.
THE BIG FISH CONTINUE TO IMPRESS….
With only a few boats clearing the inlet each morning the number of Big Black and Blue Marlin that are being caught is surprising even to the locals that have been here and fished these waters all their lives.
So lets get right into the details of the weeks catches….
Mr. Booth and his family made a last minute decision to go chasing the fish on their vacation here at Lands End. They booked our 35' Cabo Express "CISCO" on 8-9-10 with Captain Jose "Mocho" Nunez at the helm and mate Ricardo working the cockpit. As luck would have it an estimated 600 lb. + Black Marlin ate a trolled jig and the battle was on. After an hour and a half battle the big "Black" was boat side for a clean release. In addition they live baited 2 Striped Marlin and boated 2 Yellowfin Tuna for the dinner table. Memories that will last a lifetime…..Cabo fishing at it's best.
April 11th. proved to be productive for the Mercker family fishing aboard our world class 40' Cabo Flybridge named "Caliente". With Jaime "THE HOOK" Gonzalez at the controls and first mate Fernando in the cockpit the families first Blue Marlin ate a trolled jig on an outrigger. A 40 minute battle was all it took to bring this estimated 300 lb. Blue along side the boat and released. They also released a Striped Marlin to cap off the day.
On August 12th the Fibich family chartered our great 45' Cabo Express "Picante 45" and had a day they will all remember for a long time. Mr. Fibich is a charter boat Captain and faxed a real nice note about the experience from start to finish fishing with "PICANTE". Thanks for the kind words Todd. They also released a nice Blue Marlin estimated at 340 lb. along with releasing a Striped Marlin. To top off the day they boated 2 Yellowfin Tuna for the dinner table during their stay in Cabo.
Another "Big" Blue Marlin rose into the pattern of our fast 29'Blackfin "Picante 29" with Captain Alex Collins at the controls and deckhand "Charro" working the cockpit. As it always seems to happen Angel Gomez and his buddies made a last minute decision and took away
memories that will last a lifetime. "Charro" live baited the estimated 500 lb. Blue and they had the fish boat side very quickly but it was to green to handle so they played the fish a bit longer for a smooth release. They also released 2 Striped Marlin.
