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.

Using live bait and different types of lures

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.
