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.

Cabo San Lucas Fishing 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.

"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

Cabo San Lucas Weekly Fishing Report

 

PISCES WEEKLY FISH REPORT

MARCH 19TH TO 25TH, 2004

 

BILLFISH:  An update from last week; the 600 lb blue marlin that was being fought at the close of last report, aboard “Adriana” is still out there. After a five and a half hour battle, the fish broke the line and got away, leaving a very sore angler behind. We had pretty strange weather this week – on the 20th and 21st it was very hot, more like late May than March and we got some good action on striped marlin as well as other gamefish. On the 20th, pretty much every boat had at least one striped marlin and most landed tuna or dorado too. Nick and Clive Smith, both Brits, were aboard “Rebecca” this day and were kept busy releasing a striped marlin and boating four tuna 60 to 80 lbs and four dorado, 40 to 50 lbs. Next day out “Rebecca” was the hot boat again, this time releasing four striped marlin for Michael Laramie and friends.  The Brits were lucky this week, as we had another couple from England who fished on “Andrea”  this same day (Paul Lawrence) who managed to release three striped marlin. The following day continued to be good for marlin with most boats releasing a couple apiece, but it wasn’t to last.  A cold front descended on Cabo, with strong winds and chilly air and catch rates dropped, with just a few marlin being spotted, tuna however took up the slack. Our overall catch success rate this week was eighty-four percent, with thirty-seven of charters catching marlin.  Pisces anglers caught a total of thirty-three striped marlin, with all but one being released.

 

OTHER SPECIES:  Good tuna catches this week, with one hundred and sixteen for us. The largest was a 100 lb’er caught aboard “Catch n Carey” on a marlin lure, 6 miles out from the 95 spot by Bill Barkshire. Other fish weighed from 20 to 80 lbs, with the average being 35 lbs. boats caught anywhere from two to sixteen in a day and there were several schools, all on the Cortez side- thirty-seven percent of boats got tuna. Dorado catches were fair, with twenty-seven percent of charters landing fish in the 15 to 60 lb class, with the average being around 30 lbs too. Boats caught from one to five with the average catch being two fish. Just one wahoo for us this week, caught by Billy Daughdrill from Pensacola, Florida. Inshore quite a few skipjacks, some sierra, snappers and a few roosters.

 

LOCATION: Chileno to Punta Gorda, 10 to 30 miles off shore, on the Cortez side.

 

WEATHER CONDITIONS: Hot and sunny, then turning cool and windy, seas on the rough side, now smoothing out.

 

AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 70-72 F

 

BEST LURES: Still a lot of squid in the area, so live bait didn’t always work, red/brown, pink/.blue, guacamaya.
