Cabo Fishing Report June 27th to 04rd July- 2011

Cabo San Lucas Fishing Report

June 27 th through July 04 , 2011

Overall Catch Success Rate 90% (all species combined

BILLFISH: Billfish catches remain steady and look to improve if the weather can ever make up its mind. Right now areas such as La Paz are baking hot, whilst the Pacific is still enjoying cool breezes. There has also been a red tide in Cabo, which despite horror stories you usually hear, has not affected offshore fishing. We have seen a lot of smaller fish wash up on the beach but no big game fish. Catches were steady to good on billfish and excellent on yellowfin tuna. Fifty nine percent of our anglers this week managed to catch between one and six marlin in a day. Top boat was “Ursula IV” the 34´ ft Cristailayner, who during the first day of the Stars and Stripes event managed to release six striped marlin and boat four tuna for Richard Makensy from san jose, California fishing with friends, just above the 95 spot, with live mackerel the ticket for the marlin whereas the tuna took cedar plugs. Earlier in the week “Ursula” also released four marlin for another group this time at the 11.50 spot. As if to prove that size doesn’t really matter, when it comes to boats, “Bucanero”, 29 ft California also released four striped marlin this same day plus three tuna


OTHER SPECIES:Yellowfin tuna was definitely the most popular catch this week with seventy seven percent of our boats catching from one to twenty two fish, all pretty much in the 15 to 40 lb class, although there was one an exception, a 180 lb’ caught 25 miles off of the Old Lighthouse on the Pacific– they caught a total of five tuna all on lures, ranging from cedar plugs, to petroleros and green type lures aboard “Ursula IV”.

Total count on tuna was 187 fish with the best catches between Land’s End and the Old Lighthouse 20 to 25 miles out. Dorado catches were slower this week with just seventeen percent of boats catching one or two fish in the 20 to 30 lb class with blue and green lures working well for this species. We had a solitary wahoo this week, weighing in at 36 lbs

WEATHER CONDITIONS: Some quite rough seas on windy days and calmer on less windy days, skies are blue and weather nice, not super hot yet.

LOCATION: 11.50 spot, 95 spot, Destiladeras, San Jaime, Cabeza de Ballena, and Cerro Blanco.

AVERAGE WATER TEMP. 74 F

BEST LURES; bait, jurelito, caballito, green colors, cedar plugs. red/black, feathers

Marlin Fishing in Cabo !!

We hope to start the season with warmer water that means the Marlin will be closer to our shores, Captain Ricardo reported some catches this week, last week we were lucky to eat a lot of ceviche because all boats had a good catches of Sierra,

Recent Trip on Ursula IV

All comments are important to us. in this case thanks so much to Zora Mark D for their comment about "one bad day fishing"

We charted the Ursula IV on June 10. Fishing was slow all week and we picked the worst day of the week to fish (very windy). However, we found the captain (Ricardo) and crew to be lazy and disinterested. While other boats were moving to different areas or working areas hard, our captain was just chugging along on a ride. We mentioned this a few times and he did change course a bit. The sad part is that 2 yrs ago we used the Ursula III and had a great day (Captain was Ramone, mate was Manuel). From that experience we thought first to use Ursula again. Recommended it to friends who used it as well. Now we will not use Ursula again. Your boats are nice and well kept. It is too bad your Captain, in this instance, didn't want to work that day. In fact, they didn't even raise flags on the fish that we did catch - too much work for them. MZ

Dear Zora,Thank you for your comment about your trip with Captain Richard,
this is very important to us and immediacy will take steps to ensure that this does not recur again,
sorry that this experience was not pleasant for you as and referred to the weather did not help much,
but a good attitude in the crew does expected difference. (even when not fishing anything.)
hopefully enable allows us to continue offering our services and in the future your experience with us remains pleasant.

Thanks so much for your comments and always will be a pleasure having you on board.
