Our report is compiled from the catches of our fleet.
We’ll update the report every Tuesday
BLUE MARLIN EVERYWHERE AND NOW TUNA !!!
With the bluest water you’ve ever seen surrounding the peninsula and water temperatures in the low to mid 80’s the fishing action continues to pick up here in our desert paradise. Over the weekend BIG tuna moved into the area and fish approaching 200 lbs. are in reach of our fleet.
September 6th. proved to be a great day for “TEAM CALIENTE” aboard their great 40’ Cabo Flybridge “Caliente” with Captain Jaime “The Hook” Gonzalez at the controls. They released 2 Blue Marlin and both were over 300 lbs. They also hooked and released
3 Striped Marlin to complete their day on the water. Cabo fishing at it’s best for sure.
On September 7th. the billfish bite continued aboard our fast 35’ Cabo Express “ SALSA” with Captain Juan Carlos “Brincos” Lopez at the helm and deckhand Hugo working the cockpit for Mr. McIlhenny and his friends. They released 1 Blue Marlin,3 Striped Marlin and 1 Pacific Sailfish. WOW !!! Total fleet production for the day was 2 Blue Marlin, 3 Striped Marlin, 1 Pacific Sailfish and 9 Dorado.
On September 8th. we got our first sign that the Yellowfin Tuna had arrived and were in range. Our clients Mr. Sanchez and his family returned from their charter on our great 45’ Cabo Express “Picante 45” with Captain Emilio Arenas at the controls and came into
the office and asked if he could buy 3 coolers for their fish. Being curious about their need for 3 coolers they told us they had boated 2 Yellowfin Tuna over 150 lbs. And a big Dorado over 50 lbs. This was their first of 3 days fishing on the 45’ and they expected to catch more big fish. Does it get any better ??
On September 12th. the TEAM PICANTE folks couldn’t stand it anymore and hopped aboard our 31’ Cabo Express “Picante Expresso” in search of the Tuna bite. The morning started out slow but just before noon a nice size Blue Marlin found it’s way into the pattern and nailed the right side outrigger and put on a great show before being released at boatside after a 20 minute fight. About 20 minutes later the porpoise schools made their arrival and an estimated 180 lb. Bruiser hit the right rigger and the battle wason. The fish was boated 40 minutes later amid cheers and hugs. The lures went back in the water and we found the school again and this time the left rigger was the victim to the big bite of an estimated 150 lb. fish.
