The dream of fighting a big fish haunts all fishermen. An exhausting fight lasting for hours, the thrill of experiencing the power that suddenly surges from the ocean depth and tantalizes you with excitement - these are some of the ingredients that make the fishing in Cabo San Lucas a memorable experience for sea anglers of all ages and levels. Renown for the abundance of big-game fish and year around
superb fishing, Cabo San Lucas & Los Cabos fishing charters boast a number of international fishing records.
A fishing trip to an exotic destination such as Cabo San Lucas requires planning, preparation and research.
Luckily, getting the most of that investment and making sure the fishing adventure goes smoothly is often just a matter of asking the right people the right questions. At Cabo San Lucas Villas we have done all of the planning and research, and are prepared to address any of the questions that may arise prior or after your fishing trip. Providing good service during our fishing trips is critical. The ability to catch fish is one thing, but it is not something that can be controlled. What can be controlled is the quality of the fishing equipment and the conditions on the boat. We realize that most of our clients appreciate a well-rigged boat and the professionalism of our fishing crews.
Whether your preferred method of fishing is trolling, casting, or drifting, whether you
prefer fishing with artificial, live or cut baits, whether you are after marlin, mahi-mahi, or yellowfin, the knowledgeable crews of Cabo San Lucas fishing charters make your fishing experience a memorable one. Please contact us at Cabo San Lucas Villas and we’ll help you to arrange an enjoyable fishing outing on your next visit to Cabo San Lucas or Los Cabos. Our fleet of sport fishing or leisure charters on boats or yachts range from 31' on up to 120'.
"There is a common saying or hope- among anglers
that any time spent fishing is not deducted from one’s allotted
life span. If so, there are an extraordinary number of
opportunities all over the world to keep a sportsman
busy and to postpone the inevitable, perhaps forever..."
Erwin Bauer

San Lucas Weekly Fishing Report
PISCES WEEKLY FISH REPORT
NOVEMBER 21ST TO 27TH,
2003
BILLFISH: Again a
considerable improvement on fishing this week, with an
eighty-six percent catch success rate for all species combined,
which means just a few boats were “skunked” this week. Biggest
fish this week was a 550 lb black marlin, caught aboard “Felina”,
by Jeff Leitzinger from
Los Angeles
. The fish was caught at a spot known as the Honey Hole, close
to Punta Gorda on a live tuna. This fish was very impressive,
take a look at the photo below. This wasn’t the only big fish,
we had a couple of blue marlin released, one a little over 200
lbs aboard “Karina” by James Livasy from Forsyth, IL, this one
taken on a lure seven miles off of the Old Lighthouse. The other
was aboard Marea, by Jim Smith from
Pahrump ,
NV
, nine miles off of Cabeza de Ballena. One unusual catch this
week was a short-billed spearfish, caught by Douglas Long, from
Yuba City, Ca, aboard “La Brisa” – this fish was released and
weighed close to 60 lbs- no more than four a year of this type
of fish are caught in Cabo waters, so thanks for the release
Doug. Other nice catches were for Ed and Maile Soto from
Wasilla
AK
, aboard “Karina” for three striped marlin released. Martin
Estes and friends from
Oregon
had a triple marlin day too, aboard “Valerie” on the 26th,
all released outside the Cerros de Arena. Fishing has
concentrated more on the Pacific side, as is expected at this
time of year and the outlook is for more striped marlin to start
to appear. The catch success rate for billfish was fifty-four
percent. Pisces anglers caught a total of 43 striped marlin, all
but one released, two blue marlin, one black marlin, three
sailfish and one spearfish all released. Below is an excerpt of
a letter we received from an angler that fished aboard “Tracy
Ann”, here is he text, which goes with the fabulous photo below
– you can tell that the crew are thrilled to release this fish
and it’s no wonder that they are rated among the top release
crews in the world.” This
crew’s good. The first day we wanted dorado and we had big
dorado all over the deck. The next day we wanted tuna and we
had to quit because we were whipped from catching so many! So
our last day we wanted to try for marlin. We were trolling north
with artificials and the baby sailfish hit. We took pictures and
released it immediately. About an hour later a blue marlin hit
the opposite rigger but we failed to hook up. Next was a dorado
and that was it for the artificials. We then headed back south
slow trolling live baits and a big striped marlin hit on one of
the 20’s. We leadered the fish in fifteen minutes but wanted
some better pictures, after thirty more minutes the fish was at
the stern and we cut the leader. Three great days of fishing
thanks to the crew of Tracy Ann! This was my fifth fishing trip
to Cabo since 1967 and certainly the most memorable. We live in
Dallas
so it’s an easy trip by air. Thanks for the fun” Dr. Tony Brucks.
OTHER SPECIES: The most abundant fish
in Cabo this week was yellowfin tuna resulting in a combined
total of 109 for Pisces anglers, with thirty-four percent of
charters hooking into tuna schools. Catches per boat were
between one and twelve fish in the 30 to 60 lb class, with most
fish found between the arch and lighthouse anywhere from three
to thirty-five miles offshore. Dorado catches were quite a bit
slower, with an overall catch success rate of twenty-eight
percent for this species, with the average catch per boat, being
one or two fish in the 20 to 35 lb class. A few wahoo this week,
picked up whilst trolling, all around the 60 lb mark. We had on
pilot shark released. Inshore lots of triggerfish and some
sierra.
WEATHER CONDITIONS: Beautiful! Clear,
sunny skies, seas good, except on day that we had some
whitecaps.
AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 77-78 F
BEST LURES: Live bait, green/orange,
yellow/green.
