Frigates and Flags in December in Cabo

he Striped Marlin bite is still holding on, even with the warmer water
hanging around the southern end of Baja. The water has been in the high
70's F. and the Striped Marlin activity has slowed down a bit. There are
lots of fish around, but not many biters. But our captains have still
been finding the fish. And the Yellowfin Tuna and Dorado have been
cooperating nicely with our boats.

The week started out, on the 6th, with some good fishing onboard the
Picante, our 40' Tolleycraft, with Captain Emilio Arenas and mate
Fernando. The crew put the Fleming party on 3 Striped Marlin, which they
released, and 10 Yellowfin Tuna which were brought to the boat. Fleet
production for the day was 4 Striped Marlin, 3 Dorado, 21 Yellowfin
Tuna, and 6 Sierra.

The 7th was a good day for the Connor party aboard the 32' Cabo Express,
Picante Express. where Captain Antonio "Nino" Romero put the party on 3
Striped Marlin, 1 Dorado, and 4 Yellowfin Tuna. They were some happy
fisherman onboard that day.

Cabo Express, the Chaos, had a good day with 1 Striped Marlin, 2 Dorado,
and 1 Wahoo.

The 8th was a little slower day with counts of Salsa landing 8 Yellowfin
Tuna, the Picante Dream with 4 Yellowfin Tuna, and the Picantito I with
10 Roosterfish.

On the 9th the folks from Pentair group put in some good fishing time.
The warm water was still affecting the Striped Marlin bite, with only 1
Striper caught and released. That was on the Cisco and they also caught
2 Yellowfin Tuna. The surprise of the day was the estimated 350 pound
Black Marlin caught on the Chaos. And they also landed 3 Dorado. The
Picante brought in 16 Yellowfin Tuna.

And the Salsa caught some nice sized Yellowfin Tuna. Fleet total for the
day was 1 Black Marlin, 1 Striped Marlin, 20 Dorado, 35 Yellowfin Tuna,
4 Roosterfish, and 4 Sierra.

The 10th was a slow day with 2 boats catching 6 Yellowfin Tuna and 1
Yellowtail.

The 11th turned out to be an eatin' fish day. Only 2 Striped Marlin were
caught and released, and 33 Dorado, and 17 Yellowfin Tuna were boated.

So the weekly totals were: 1 Black Marlin, 12 Striped Marlin, 59 Dorado,
97 Yellowfin Tuna, 1 Wahoo, 14 Roosterfish, 10 Sierra and 1 Yellowtail.

And now with the water cooling off again the Striped Marlin should be
hitting the bait as they come down the Baja coast.
