There is only one word to describe the fishing here in Cabo this week,
and that word is spectacular! We are on course to possibly some new
records. We thought yesterday was a great day with forty-seven teams
releasing 144 Striped Marlin. But today was even better with the same
number of teams releasing 167 Striped Marlin. Almost every boat has
released Striped Marlin. That's 304 Striped Marlin caught by 47 teams
in just two days.

Right now the conditions are getting even better as the Pacific is
holding around 62 degrees Fahrenheit and the Sea of Cortez is in the
high 70's to low 80's Fahrenheit.(See caboweatherchannel.com) The
colder water on the Pacific is driving the fish to the Cortez side of
the Baja peninsula. And with the warm water in the Sea of Cortez
creating a temperature break near the Gordo Banks the Striped Marlin
are piling up.

It's like going to a dinner line. At the temperature break there are
squid, baitfish and then the Striped Marlin. And depending on how the
water temperatures shape up tomorrow, it could be an even better day.

So at the end of the day the leaders are, for day two, Master Dolphins
Fisherman Team which made a great comeback from a slow day one;
followed by the 2012 IGFA Offshore World Champions and in third for the
day 39th Annual Bluewater Tournament team with 2000 points.

And the overall first three places are IGFA Offshore World Champions,
followed by Master Dolphins Fisherman, then 39th Annual Bluewater
Tournament team. And there are still a few other teams within striking
range. This could be one of the most exciting tournaments in recent
history.

Cabo San Lucas attracts fishermen from all over the world and you can
see why. People often come to Cabo when their vacations are due. Keep
an eye on this tournament and then decide to come to Cabo this year
when the fishing is exceptional.
