Sunday Tuna Slam

Sunday was a beautiful day in Cabo, slightly overcast but smooth seas and plentiful fishing. Everyone that fished today wanted to get offshore and chase some of the Yellowfin we had been hearing about.

Sam Bottoms and his buddies, Tony and Doug, down from the Denver area joined us today for their second day on the water. After fishing inshore on day one and slamming the inshore bite they were ready for some offshore fishing. They found the schools of Tuna and Porpoise, but couldn't get a bite to save their lives for some reason. Glad to have met Sam and his buddies and look forward to seeing them back down here in the near future.

Robert Deeson and his buddies and brothers, down from Houston, Texas, enjoying our Stay and Play Package, also had their second day on the water today. Captain Alex found the first school of Yellowfin about 32 miles from the Marina but wasn't getting great action with only 2 Yellowfin landed. They left that school and found another about 22 miles from the Marina where they were able to land 4 more Yellowfin. 6 Yellowfin, not a bad day!

April Bonds, a good friend of ours from here in Cabo, had her sister and a friend in town and wanted to show them a day on the water. April is notorious for getting skunked and having terrible fishing luck. We really should have just sent out her sister and buddy, and kept her back at the office. They were all over the Tuna, watching them feeding on the surface and jumping all around the boat. Total haul for the day, 1 Yellowfin Tuna.

Andy, Anne-Marie and Brett Harris, along with Dax Deschamp joined us for the first of two days on the water and they were the lucky ones today with the most fish. Fishing with Ramon and Juan on TantRum, they hauled in 8 Yellowfin and 1 huge 55" Mahi Mahi. Nice to see a Mahi caught, and a huge one at that.
