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.

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

left at approximately 6:45 a.m. on board Ursula III with Captain Antonio Agundez coming to the same fishing area where the Ursula IV was fighting with the Blue Marlin, and decided to try using small Trolling lures (Green/Yellow) and (Orange/Yellow) reporting 5 hook up’s of Yellow fin Tuna approximately 35 lbs each, later changed their Lures looking for Marlin, after an hour they have another hook up in a Zuker lure 5.5 (Green/Black) They caught a Blue Marlin and fight for 1 hour and 15 minutes then brought it to the dock for its weight, 180 lbs total weight.


Equipment used: A Penn International 50 TW Reel and Penn Rod 50-80 with 80 lbs. line.

Fishing Conditions in Cabo, Fishing Areas and best Catch of the week:
Beautiful and warm sunrises, this week the fishing is reported regular to the following species as Dorados (Mahi-Mahi)Yellow Fin Tunas,
But much better for others as Sail fish, Striped Marlins, and Blue Marlin, the warm water temperature help in the different fishing areas around Cabo San Lucas as Punta Gorda (about 25 miles out), Old Light House (5 to 6 miles out)until Los Arcos (about 12 miles out) and San Jaime Bank (Located 20 miles out)- reporting better conditions of water than two weeks ago it was unclear-.


As we can see the fishing areas varied, one of the advantages of this paradisiacal place that characterizes us as one of the best options For the Sportfishing that we love.


Using live bait and different types of lures
as famous and favored by our crews Called "Petrolero" and also Red/Black, Green/black, and Blue/White.


Our best day was last week on board Ursula IV reporting 2 Sail fish for our guest Jorge de La Garza from Monterrey NL. Mexico,
And 2 Striped Marlin and a the first Blue Marlin 460 lbs for

Reports say we’ll have good weather for the rest of the week.


Good fishing and lots of fun for all !!

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,

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
Mike and LIsa GArrett

Thank you guys, remember next trip you have to try ceviche on board.

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~
