Cabo
San Lucas
Blue, Black and Striped Marlin
along the BAJA PENINSULAR, MEXICO |
At
the point of Baja Peninsular, nestled between the Pacific
Ocean on the West and about 200 miles across from mainland
Mexico over the Sea of Cortez on the East, lies the tropical
desert paradise of Cabo San Lucas
The fishing in the fertile waters off of Cabo
is truly spectacular all year round. Here Pacific Ocean
meets the Sea of Cortez and the massive depth of water just
off shore and myriad underwater canyons and seamounts
ensure a hugely diverse marine habit. This upwelling of nutrience
brings in enormous shoals of Sardines, Herring and small bait
fish, pursuing these come Bonito and Skipjacks up to 30lbs,
and hunting them are our quarry, the Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna,
Dorados and the Razor gang.
The
striped marlin population is abundant all year round and have
earned Cabo the title of Marlin Capital of the World. February,
March and April are favourite months for these fish. Dorado,
tuna and wahoo are also available at that time. In the summer
months when the water warms the dorado and tuna action increases
and peaks in the months of August, September, October, and
November. The first two weeks of December can also be very
good. Every year yellowfin tuna over 200 lbs and dorado over
80 lbs are tagged and released. |
 |
Big
blue and black marlin migrate in at this time to feed on the
smaller dorado and tuna and landing one of these fish in the
400-600 lb class is not unusual. Cabo is famous for it's
autumn marlin tournaments where total prize money can be over
one million dollars!
Clients
are encouraged to release their Billfish . We appreciate
your cooperation in this matter in order to preserve the quality
of the sport fishing in Cabo area |
LICENSES
Mexican law dictates that everyone (fishing or not) that sets
foot on a Charter boat must have a valid fishing license,

BOATS
IN GENERAL
Mexican
fishing boats are divided into four general types: Panga,
Super Panga, Cruiser, and Yacht. Pangas are the least
expensive and are generally a smaller (20-24 foot) open boat
with some type of bimini roof/cover and powered by a hand-controlled
outboard with the captain sitting in the stern. Pangas
can accommodate up to two anglers plus the captain.
Super
Pangas are a little larger than the Panga, still outboard
powered, but are generally center-console operated and sometimes
have twin engines. Passengers are usually limited to
three on a Super Panga.
|
| Cruisers are mostly vintage
fiberglass boats such as Uniflites, La Paz-built Californians,
Bertram 31s and similar ones built by other manufacturers, in
the 25-32 foot range. Cruisers generally have a flying
bridge and small salon below, outriggers, one or two fighting
chairs in the cockpit, and single or twin diesels. Most
Cruisers will not exceed something the size of a Bertram 31.
Passengers are limited to four on smaller (28 foot) cruisers
and six on the larger cruisers, though most Mexican skippers
will tell you any more than four on a fishing boat is a crowd. |
