Cabo San Lucas Fishing Report, December 27

Unseasonably cool water temps. continue to frustrate anglers. The Marlin continue to feed slowly if they feed at all. Yellowfin tuna are feeding regularly as well as Dorado. Inshore fishing has been red hot and lightening up the tackle and doing some live baiting has been adding some excitement to our charters. All around most fun is to do a little of everything and keep fish on the line, finding the Marlin is easy getting them to bite is an all together different thing. Specialty charters running as far north as finger bank are producing billfish in large numbers as the bite is wide open in pockets of warm water holding on the largest sea mounds on the Pacific Side.

Cabo Fishing Report, December 20

The Striped Marlin are driving anglers crazy, finicky feeders are being spotted all day long, the water temps are just not cooperating because of the multiple cold fronts moving down the Pacific. Wind conditions and current change are not providing stable enough temperatures for the Marlin to metabolize as fast as usual driving down the rate at which they can feed. Long story short the bite looks incredible with birds diving and bill fish slashing the surface, problem being is that the fish are only feeding for a matter of seconds rather than 10 to 15 minutes as usual. Vessels spend all day chasing the baitball pitching and seeing them disappear, then it pops up again. On average we are seeing 1 or 2 billfish released per charter, and are pitching bait at 20 to 30. Yellowfin Tuna are everywhere and are feeding steadily. Dorados continue to eat as well. Fast trolling lures at the end of the day has been producing Wahoo as well. Best bet for a great charter is chase the Tuna, and Dorado until everyone is worn out and the coolers are full, slip into the feeders after slack tide during the warmest time of the day and try for a marlin while fast trolling lures for Wahoo.

The whales are here! The humpback whale migration has arrived and as always is appreciated. They make a lovely addition to any charter as they can be seen numerous times throughout the day. Ask your captains to take a few minutes to follow the whales. All of them have had lots of practice and can get you quite close without causing any stress to the whale itself. They also help keep the bait balled up. Plenty of Marlin, Tuna, and Dorado as always.

Cabo San Lucas Fishing Report, November 29

Striped Marlin everywhere, on the surface eating live baits. Drifting and run and gun tactics are successful. The Gordo Banks are flooded with big Wahoos in the 50lb range as well as schools of Yellowfin Tuna. Dorados are available on both sides of the peninsula. This is the peak season for cabo when the fishing shuts off everywhereb else Cabo holds billfish through the winter. Thanksgiving has passed time to start planning on releasing a marlin for Christmas!!

Cabo Fishing Report November 22

The moon phase is over and the bite is wide open once again. Take your pick fishing, this is the best season for multi - day charters. Wahoo and Yellowfin tuna are stacked up on the inner and outer Gordo Banks. Striped marlin are balling up bait and keeping the birds busy from the lighthouse bank all the way to finger banks. And right off of lands end late season Blue and Black Marlin are biting steadily. Break out the light tackle and lock horns with huge roosterfish on live bait, three days of fishing is just about right.

Cabo San Lucas Fishing Report, November 15

Striped Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, and Dorado. All within a couple miles of the Arch. Heavy action and multiple hookups. Perfect charter fishing. This kind of fishing makes it great to head out with a bunch of friends, kick back enjoy the sun and pass around the stick. Whales are starting to show up and lots of big sea turtles are being spotted. You really couldn't ask for anything better.

Short run BIG action! Striped marlin balling up bait in front of the lighthouse, making for great live bait fishing. Dorado and Yellowfin tuna available in all directions. Typical catch on the day being three or four billfish, and as many Dorado as you can catch. This type of fishing is tons of fun, not much time in between hook ups.

TUNA TIME!! Fluctuations in water temps have shaken things up a bit and have some tournament teams pre fishing a little harder to get the game plan together. The end of last week had giant yellowfin all over the gordo banks. Should be another exciting tournament to end this years season. The stripeys are back and are moving south from mag bay. This year they are met with a steady supply of bait, and a strong temperature break pushing everything in shore. Bait and marlin held up against the beach, like taking candy from a baby!

Cabo San Lucas Fishing Report, October 25

Crazy tournament this year! Congrats to our Friend John Stonecipher and team Rehab with two nice Blue Marlin. This year Cabo hung more monsters in the first day than the last years tourney did in all three. Black and Blue marlin are still abundant, tons of Dorado, and steady yellowfin Tuna. Land's end fisherman will now shift gears and get ready for the WON Tuna Jackpot. Warm water and loads of sardines have combined to turn the sea of cortez into a heaven for Big Marlin. As long as conditions hold we will enjoy a red hot bite!!

Re-spool your reels and set your drags it is tournament time! This year has great potential, Blue and Black marlin are abundant. We have had numerous fish over 300lbs. and one Monster 700 + lb Blue this week. That monster was landed on a Shimano 30w Tyrnos with 40lb test by Joe Weider of the Triple shot fishing team out of New Jersey. They went three for three that day on Blue marlin and six for eight on the four days they fished!! Charter fishing is nonstop action with great numbers of Dorado, Wahoo, and Yellowfin Tuna. Rooster fish are biting steady inshore as well.

Fleet production has been steady and plentiful.

Cabo Fishing Report October 1

October is here and we are having the type of season Cabo is known for. Steady Blue and Black Marlin catches, Striped Marlin are thick, and Dorado are everywhere. Typical numbers on a full day charter are a handful of billfish releases, more Dorado than there are hours in the day., and Yellow fin tuna running beneath schools of porpoise. Rooster fish are available as well as California Yellowtail. Wiyh Tournament season upom us we will be seeing larger fish as the anglers focus more on catching that one big fish and break out the big tackle. Expect mates and captains to be dragging bigger baits and tightening their technique in preparation.

Cabo San Lucas Fishing Report, September 20

Bit late in the season, but we have finally moved in to the Pacific. Tuna are abundant, as well as Dorado. One month to the tournaments, and the fish are doing their part. Registered entries are down this year so the odds are going to be be better for the folks that do fish. The actual season has been very slow this year in regards to charter numbers. This is great for the fishery, there are tons of fish out there and about half the amount of anglers as we are used to. We will line em up, you knock em down!!!

Cabo Fishing Repot September 13

EL DORADO, the mythical city of gold that Cortez searched for. Perhaps the legends were based on the Dorado bite found here at Land's End. Forgive me for being so corny, but we really do have more Mahi - Mahi than we know what to do with. If you rig one of the smaller ones and let her swim, you have an excellent chance of finding out what other species like to eat white meat. Namely Blue and Black Marlin. White hot action in every direction. Lures, live bait, drifting, trolling, however you do it you are gonna have a ball right now. Yellowfin Tuna are abundant as well. Get on a boat and have a blast!!

Cabo Fishing Report September 6

Water temps and bait supply are starting to move over to the Pacific side of the peninsula, this puts the fish right out our front door so to speak. The light house bank has been Red Hot this week. Large numbers of Dorado, Yellowfin Tuna, and Striped Marlin are being released. The blue Marlin bite is still holding steady. The Monster Tuna are still concentrated on the Gordo Banks.

Better numbers than we have seen all year on the Striped Marlin. All action is still holding on the Cortez side. Gordo Banks is red hot with giant Yellowfin Tuna. Dorado and wahoo are abundant as well as steady inshore action. Long story short, the fishing is incredible the best summer season seen in the past handful of years!!

We are about to stop calling it fishing down here, just catching. One angler was shocked to see Dorado actually jumping into the boat!! Before we could get the gaff in a nice bull it shot out of the water and landed on the transom. Take your pick of species, Blue, Black and Striped Marlin are everywhere. Yellowfin tuna abound with many of them topping three hundred pounds. And don't forget to fill the cooler with Dorado.

Cabo Fishing Report August 16

You would have to see it to believe it! October fishing in August, this season is on track to be one of the best in recent years for Big Blue Marlin. This of course is due to the ample supply of Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado. Typical charter is three or four Dorados, six to eight Yellowfin Tuna, a Wahoo , and a hand full of Marlin. Truly non stop action on both sides of the peninsula. Also a generous supply of monster Roosters inshore. Try staying out the extra hour as this has been producing a good bite on the larger Yellowfin, in my opinion it is the best way to nab one over 100lbs.

S.L.

Cabo Fishing Report August 9

Steady Marlin action continues on the East Cape. North of Gordo Banks, massive schools of White Bonita are holding record numbers of Blue Marlin. The moon cycle is perfect for a solid week of fishing. Early morning bite on the billfish and then hang out through late afternoon and hit some big Yellowfin. We are still riding the late afternoon trend on the Yellowfin and had numerous fish in the 60lb range this week,and two in the 100lb class. Monster Rooster fish available inshore. Also we are seeing tons of Wahoo on a fast troll back to the dock. Striped Marlin are more active than they have been all year. With the number of Dorado we are seeing we can expect to hold on the the fish well in to the fall.

Cabo Fishing Report August 2

Surface temps and bait supply are in perfect harmony. Peak season is in full swing and seems to be coming a month early this year, as the Sea of Cortez teems with Big Blue Marlin. Of course these wonders of the seven seas are here to feast upon the bountiful supply of Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado. These exciting conditions are providing anglers with trips of a lifetime. Full coolers and trophy class Billfish in the 300 -700 lb range. Sportsman could ask for little more with the short run to the grounds and make or break action with one of the worlds most spectacular predators. Mild seas and warm weather, don't miss summer fishing at Land's End!!

S.L.

Cabo Fishing Report August 1

Couple of options, stick close to cabo and fill some coolers or run up the East Cape to find the monsters. Plentiful supply for all day action on Dorado, Yellowfin Tuna, and Wahoo within five miles of the Cabo Marina. Or pick up and run to the Gordo banks and troll north in beautiful blue water. Water temps and bait supply are perfect,producing consistent numbers of Blue Marlin and Yelowfin tuna in the 50 -60 lb range. A multi-day trip with a light tackle adventure near Cabo the first day and the second day raising huge Blues and Blacks makes for some world class fishing.

Cabo Fishing Report July 28

The Yellowfin Tuna continue to resurface in the afternoon as the bulk of the fleet returns to Cabo. Dorado action is steady with Wahoo mixed in. Striped Marlin are biting, and Big Blue and Black Marlin are being raised by trolling lures. The Sea of Cortez has been holding the bulk of the fish, which has made for nice fishing in calm seas. The tournament season kicks off in Los Barriles at the East Cape Bisbee. Inshore fishing is well wirth it this season, 70 to 80 lb Roosters available on either side of the penninsula.

S.L.

Cabo Fishing Report July 19

Cabo summer fishing is in full swing. We are seeing great water temps and loads of Yellowfin Tuna. Dorado numbers are a bit off due to the lack of Mackerel, however this creates a situation with less competition for other species, such as Jacks, Yellowtail, and Rooster. Best bet right now is a multi-day trip chasin a big Black or Blue Marlin, once she is released go dive into the plentiful action on light tackle!!

SL.

Cabo Fishing Report July 14

Blue Marlin still holding in good numbers. Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna are still the main action. Best bite is still on the Gordo Bank in late afternoon. A completely out of season run of big California Yellowtail have been hanging around Lands end between the Arch and the lighthouse bank on the Pacific side. Drifting with small and medium sized live baits have been keeping the sushi guys rolling all over town!!

Cabo Fishing Report July 9

The Blues are here and are in close, Numerous fish over 250lbs were hooked and released within five miles of the arch. Up the East Cape Yellowfin Tuna are in abundance and the hardcore fisherman are being treated with a steady late afternoon bite from the big boys. The larger Yellowfin are not so fond of the noise produced in the early hours by the bulk of the fleet on the normal eight hour days. The guys sticking around an extra hour or two or the lucky few that late start due to the all to common Cabo hangover are seeing the fish rise again and feed aggressively in the last few hours of light. This is well worth the wait, these conditions make for one of a kind opportunities on the water, stick close to cabo and try to release a big Marlin in the beginning of the charter and then pick up and run mid afternoon, this puts you on the Gordo as all the other vessels are returning to port. We will follow this trend and let you know how we come out!! Tight Lines

Cabo Fishing Report June 28

Weekend of great fishing! All boats scoring big smiles with steady Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado Catches. The anglers trolling in the Sea of Cortez were in for a few suprises with multiple Blue Marlin in the 400lb to 500lb range being raised and released. This is looking like it is going to be a great summer season for Cabo. One group of anglers happened upon a dead pilot whale that was stacked with feeding Dorado the column was visible for nearly ten meters down swimming in a circle beneath the whale, casting baits to the edge of the column was a matter of timing trying to spot a big one and lay your bait in front of him. Striped Marlin are still on top of the water being picky about which baits to hit and which to ignore. All in all solid days on calm water in the sun.

Fishing conditions could not get much better! The tropical storms located south and southwest of Cabo are pushing in schools of hungry Pelagics torward our fishing grounds.

Wahoo. Seriously.

Wahoo are everywhere right now in Cabo, each of our boats brought in at least 3 yesterday. This morning all the boats are going out again, with nothing but wahoo on the agenda. As everyone here knows, the wahoo is the tastiest fish around, so as a result, all that people have been asking about in the shop is how to get in on the action. It started with this 83 pounder caught on the original Slippery Lizzard a couple of weeks ago. Since then, it has been a melee.

May 3, 2010 Fishing Report
