Cabo Fishing Report, April 25

We don't want to jinx ourselves here , but we are catching some fish. Striped Marlin, surface feeding, birds diving, looks like some sort of aquatic bumper cars ride when your approaching the bait ball. Cabo fishing at its finest. The Dorados are taking their sweet ass time in coming home and the Tuna are 70 miles out. Table fish are available, we just need to run half the day to get at em. In the meantime buckle up and make sure you grab extra baits on the way out of the harbor. A big thanks to Arctic Cat Outdoors, we had a great time shooting an episode with Kevin and his guest Lonnie Paxton who caught his first marlin on our Reel Slippery Lizzard. Lonnie put the NFL muscle to her and released a nice 190 lb stripe in just under 40 minutes. We will keep you all posted on the air times of this episode!

Cabo Fishing Report, April 18

All of Cabo San Lucas enjoyed a red hot bite off of the Gordo Banks over the weekend. Top boats releasing double digits on striped marlin. This felt like Cabo in the "good ol' days", and has left all of us holding our breath to find out what we are left with after the moon phase. The really rewarding part of working in this industry is sharing a bite like this with anglers that don't see it every day. When you can take a fisherman, (it does not matter the experience level a fisherman is someone male or female who just enjoys it, if you can dig that)and place them in a true feeding frenzy of diving birds and bills slashing the surface it is like being there for the first time all over again. As we keep our fingers crossed that this bite holds we can count on the Dorado to continue to flood the local waters and the yellowfin tuna to move closer in as the weather heats up and the monsters make their way home. Inshore action remains steady and is the best way to start and finish each charter.

Slogging through it. C'mon Dorados, annual migration is coming to an end. The Dorado are returning to the outer northern banks of the east cape and continue to move south in greater numbers. We are in the tail end of the slow season and are geared up to head back off shore. The inshore bite has been the saving grace over the last month, with nice Yellowtail in the 30Lb range. Sierras are steady and smaller roosters are available. The occasional Dorado is being picked up on the troll. Yellowfin tuna are few and are very far offshore. The striped marlin are easy to find, they are just very picky eaters. Plan on baiting 15 before you get a strike. As always stick with guys that will work hard, hit the inshore bite early on the way out and then again on the way back in. Keep active fish multiple locations and run a variety of gear as the bonita are thick offshore and are great to keep some rods bent while you are baiting stubborn billfish!!
