Dorado bite still strong

Another beautiful late summer/early fall day here in Cabo San Lucas, water temps are in the mid-80's and weather is in the low 90's. Seas were smooth and fish were biting once again today! Bait has been tough to come by recently, but luckily we have had some Ballyhoo sent over from mainland Mexico, so while other companies are struggling to find bait each day, we have had a steady supply. The boys have been fishing the Pacific from the Lighthouse to Los Arcos and even up to Golden Gate.

Antonio and Dania Sandoval, joining us from Ukiah, California had never been fishing offshore before, but knew that being in Cabo, they had to give it a shot. Antonio and Dania spent the day with Omar and Americo and decided on a 1/2 day charter. Luckily, half a day was plenty of time to get some action as they had 5 Dorado by 11:30am. The Dorado we have seen caught the last few days have been on the bigger side, as was the case today with two of the Dorado reaching almost 50".

The Zischke party, who were to have fished on Rum Runnin', didn't make it this morning. Hope that everything is OK and they just had a few too many at Cabo Wabo the night before.

Brian Braumfield and Darlene Bonis fished today with their friends Bob and Denise Stine. Brian and Darlene fished with us last year and were back this year to try out the Stay and Play package. They gushed about how cool the accomodations are up at Portofino, so that is always nice to hear. Nick and I certainly had a "case of the Monday's" yesterday and things started off early. El Nuevo had problems with a transmission before their charter even got started but Brian is a veteran fisherman and we have to thank him for his understanding. We got the group out with Cabo Chica, and they ended up having a great day on the water. Time and time again, when people go with the flow, Karma ends up on their side and this crew was no different. They came back with plenty of Dorado and nothing but praise for our staff and how we handled the situation. Thanks again for your understanding guys, unfortunately, boat problems are the nature of the beast sometimes.
