Jeanine Mellem Fishing Trip on board Ursula IV Nov. 15th and 17th

Hello Kathy.
We did have a good trip home, no problems. On our last fishing trip there was just three of us because Peter got sick on Sunday night. We caught 2 tuna and 5 dorado among us. One dorado was a good size, one was quite small and the rest were medium sized. We both took home about 25 pounds of fish filets. Since it was not as much as we usually get we were able to freeze all of it in our freezer in the condo where we stayed.

It was the first time fishing for my sister and her husband and they said they enjoyed it very much. There is one thing we were not happy about ... when we buy $30 worth of bait fish we would like to see it used as bait for fish. On the last trip I had to ASK that they rig up some live bait for trolling. Hugo told us (on Sunday) that it attracts the larger dorado and when we did use it (on Tuesday), we did catch the large dorado. But they only rigged up two fish like that and used one or two to throw out when we were reeling in fish. At the end there was a LOT of bait left and it was thrown to the birds that followed us into the marina. We would have preferred to use all of the bait fish for FISHING not for feeding the birds. I think that "Tony" (he had too many names) thought that providing a show by feeding birds and sea lions was something we would enjoy. But we'd rather use them for fishing...
Other than that they crew did a good job.

I will send some pictures in a separate email.
Did your daughter like the candy I sent back to you with Olter?

Best wishes.
Jeanine

Esta Zettel Trip Oct. 24th

Kathy,

I can report that we always enjoy our fishing with the Ursula IV or III. We have had some fishing trips where the fishing was wonderful with marlin, dorado and sailfish. This last fishing trip, however, was too soon after Hurricane Rick for the fishing to be good. We didn't catch any but we still had fun! Your Captain and First Mate were professional, helpful, and very pleasant.

Of course I always enjoy communicating with you and your husband.

We will continue to fish with you. I'll look for some pictures from past years when we have caught fish and will sent them to you.

Frank's trip Nov. 10th on board Ursula IV

Hola Kathy,

We had a great trip. Too bad we had to come home.

The Ricardo and Hugo were great. We had multiple knock downs and run offs on baits throughout the day missing roughly 15 fish due to short bites and the hooks not setting. The first fish was a Striped Marlin around 150# that was hooked up on a bait and switch with live bait. It put on a great show for almost an hour during the fight. Towards the end when the fish got close to the boat it swam underneath and the line hung up on the bottom of the boat. So Hugo quickly went swimming to save the catch and remove the line from the bottom.
Later in the morning we had a multi-knock down of tuna hooking up with only 1 football yellowfin tuna…too bad we missed the 2 other strikes. That fish was tasty.
We continued to troll northwest towards Golden Gate and found a large school of Dorado around floating debris. We took 4 Dorado with the rest of the live bait and started trolling back home hoping for a wahoo and more tuna but no such luck however we did add another Dorado to the box and found our long dead bait was short striked by a wahoo and missing its body. Next time we are adding a stinger hook.
Thank you to the crew and Hugo for swimming to untangle the line. Most crews would let you break off and we appreciated the extra effort.
I do not have pictures uploaded yet. I will try to remember to send them when I have them uploaded.

Feel free to remind me too.

Cabo San Lucas Fishing Report Ursula III & Ursula IV

Weather Forecast Today: Partly Cloudy
Air Temperature: 97°F
Sea Water temperature: 84°- 87°F
Wind: S SE at 12 mph
Humidity: 44%
Fishing Conditions in Cabo, Fishing Areas and best Catch:
Another great day, a little cloudy but the water temperature stays warm and that is encouraging for the Blue’s come, so we feel very fortunate because last Tuesday 28th we had one of the largest catches had been since start the Blue Marlin season in Cabo.

The Captain Olter Schcolnick reported the following experience:
Our journey on board the Ursula IV began at 6:30 am and throw lines at 7:30 am about 14 miles outside 180° south of Cabo San Lucas, we find a school of Yellow fin Tuna, then we went a little more outside of school, was when a troll in “Petrolero” Lure (Black & Brown) one of our favorites..
We had a hook up Blue Marlin that took ¾ of line out, immediately we calculate exceeded 400 lbs, was great when he jumped more than 10times.
The first to fight the marlin was the Angler Roberto Bardo, about 45 minutes after, he was relieved by Jeffery S. Cook and Tyler, it took about 30 minutes over relieving Roberto Bardo again, the estimated time of fight approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes until we bring on board, and take to weight.


Giving a total weight of 500 lbs. thus causing a great expectation to be the largest so far this season.


We believe that this is only the beginning of the great season we will have.

Equipment used: A Penn International 50 TW Reel and Penn Rod 50-80 with 80 lbs. line.
(The Lucky anglers from Texas)



Ursula III Fishing report:
Same day our guest Oscar Ruiz from Tampico Tamaulipas. Mexico

Ben J. Rzonca Comments

Hi Kathy,

I wish I had a better response but our three days of fishing did not go as well as we had hoped. I caught a Jack-Crevalle just outside of Los Arcos at the end of day 1 and we had a double sailfish hookup on day 3 with my wife catching one of the two on her brand new rod & reel and the other spitting the hook before we could start the fight. Sorry that my pictures did not turn out. We did see plenty of Marlin, along with a swordfish on day one, but no comida. Day two brought more sightings of Marlin in the afternoon but again no comida. We had several hookups of unknown variety over the three days but the fish quickly spit the hook before we could get in our chairs and start the fight.

I think that the Captain and the mate did a fine job and tried hard. It seemed like a lot of the time we were not where the other boats were located (and appearing to be successful) as we saw many boats leave the marina and saw many boats with Marlin, Dorado and Tuna catches when we were arriving back in the marina (and we were skunked). Only a few times were we amongst other boats. After reviewing our trip, I think we could have trolled our live bait more often as we only did that for a couple of hours on day 1 & 2.

We appreciate the fact that the crew worked hard at using my wife’s new equipment as I think at first they had doubt about the spinning reels capability. The reel worked effortlessly when she caught the sailfish and we feel confident that she will be able to fight much larger Marlin/Tuna with it in the future.

Hopefully, we will get the opportunity to come back to Cabo next year and try again.

Best Regards,

Ben J. Rzonca

Would like the fishing was always successful for our guests,
but hopefully the next trip will be much better.

Thanks so much to our guest Rzonca and wife for your preference
and for for allowing us to enjoy this fishing experience with them.

Ursula IV Fishing Report, Guest Mike and Lisa Garrett




Weather Forecast Today: Sunny
Air Temperature: 90°F
Wind: NNW at 9 mph.
Humidity: 52%

Fishing Conditions in Cabo:
We are definitely lucky to be in Cabo San Lucas
Summer stared with excellent fishing, warm weather the most of the day and great water currents for Predominant species like Dorado Mahi-mahi, Yellow fin Tuna Striped Marlin and Start the Blue Marlin.
Our Fishing areas are located: 5 to 6 miles out from Cabo, in front to Light House and San Cristobal bank.

We had on board Ursula IV our dear guest Mike Garrett and his beautiful wife Lisa from Lubbock, TX
who send us their report :
My wife and I had a great time fishing on the Ursula IV.We caught 3 Dorados that day two of the fish were in the 40 pound range. We should have brought a cooler with us so we could carry our fish back to Texas with us. The crew on the boat was great. Roberto and Jugo worked hard making sure that we caught fish and were comfortable. The captain also made sure we got to the fishing grounds quickly. Cabo is a wonderful place. I hope maybe I can make it a permanent home someday. We are definitely looking forward to our return trip next year and hope to see you again.

Thanks

Mandy Holand and Mike Oswalt fishing report on board Ursula III






My gratitud to our Guest Mandy Holland and Mike Oswalt,
they enjoy a fishing trip on board Ursula III with captain Antonio,
on June 27th and 29th,
And send us their pictures and comments.

Dear Kathy,

Mike and I wanted to thank you for our fishing trip we took with you last week while we were in Cabos. We didn’t get the Marlin Mike wanted but maybe next time. The crew was great! Thanks for taking such good care of us! Here are some pictures of the Dorado’s and Tuna we caught. Hope you enjoyed the candy.
Take care!


The first day I caught the Dorado approx 35 to 40 lbs and the 1 tuna in the picture.
Mike caught a Dorado, smaller around 20 lbs and 1 tuna, but he has no pictures.

The second day was very slow. Only Mike fished. He caught 2 small Dorado. 1 pictured. The other was very small and he threw it back, also the picture I already sent.
We saw a few Marlin and swordfish but they just didn’t want to bite.


Thank you,

Mandy Holland


(Hope to have them on board next time and thanks for my chocolate!)

Steve Oneal and family experience on Board


A few days ago, we were fortunate to have on board Steve Oneal and his beautiful family, that sent us their comments about their fishing experience with us and a beautiful picture.

Thanks so much for your preference Steve,
and and for allowing us to share this experience with you
See you soon!

PD
Hope you come back to Cabo before I finished the chocolate you brought me!



Hi Kathy,

Sorry it has taken so long for me to respond back you and your wonderful organization. On behalf of my family I would like to thank you and you staff for a life time of memories we experienced with your fleet.

The first trip we chartered the Ursula IV (very well maintained and clean by the way) with the intentions to have my 15 years old son catch his first Marlin, though we were unable to accomplish this feat it was by no way due to the lack of trying, Your crew spotted at least 8 different marlin trying many techniques short of shooting them but just could not make them bite.


Now the second day was completely different story,( by the way thank you for the complimentary upgrade to allow my wife to attend the trip) 5 minutes after the crew put the lines in the water we had our first hit! A small strike however it brought excitement to the boat. I put my eleven year old son in the chair to let him have his first experience fishing at sea. A short time later he was so excited when we boarded around a 5 pound “Skip Jack”, the first words out of his mouth was “WOW THAT’S THE BIGGEST FISH I HAVE EVER COUGHT!” you should have seen the look on his face when I told him we would probably use it as bait later.

Less than a half of an hour latter we had another strike, this time we were on! The crew instantly spotted that it was a Dorado. Time for my 13 year old to grab the chair, after a valiant battle we were able to land a 60 pound monster! The rest of the day we had tight line catching numerous Dorado and Blue Fin Tuna, however we still were unable to catch the dreaded Marlin the crew still spotted at least a dozen of those elusive fish. I guess that’s why they call it fishing!

Again, please thank the entire staff for a wonderful fishing experience and we very much look forward to next year fishing with you to pursue or quest! This time however we might have two boys looking for their first Marlin!


Best~
