 With our cool water temperatures the bait are in and so are the Striped Marlin. There have been some good catches of Striped Marlin and an unusual catch of a Blue Marlin in February. You never know for sure what you can catch here in Cabo. There have also been some siting’s of Swordfish.

 There have been some reports of grouper of over 50 pounds just outside of the marina. There are still Sierra Mackerel around and they are keeping the inshore fishermen happy.

And it was exciting that the Picante 45  and Chaos one day saw a pod of Killer Whales right between the two boats.

There is our mixed bag. And there are more to come.
