Marlin fishing in Cabo

[Ifinch36]

Hey guys-

I don't post much, but thought you guys might like this.  Here's a video I did from a Marlin trip my dad I did in Cabo last month.  Went out with JR and Omar from the Rebecca with Pisces Sportsfishing.  I would highly recommend them.  Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

And yes, I made the beginning cheesy on purpose.

Ya, I'd definitely recommend them. It was my first time with them and I'll be using them from now on. They're legit. Very professional set up.

Just remember the two+ hour run out to the fishing Spot. We went probably 15 years ago now and after a couple hours of slamming through the 10- 15 ft rollers to start fishing I’ve never been more seasick. If you have a issue with that take lots of medicine. Wasn’t too rough once we got to the fishing spot but getting out there definitely was. We never did get any Marlin when we went, a few big sailfish, barracuda, dorado. Maybe the marlin didnt like the lobster and tequila chum I was tossing over board.

This will be my third year going to La Paz. We do three day trips on the fishing end of it. Super affordable and great fishing. We target marlin and dorado mostly, Made an effort to get tuna a couple time. I have not been disappointed. We even managed a couple sailfish.

We are heading to San Jose Del Cabo on the 22nd of April.
I intend to get out for a couple trips.
Should be a good time.

How long is the fight? Is it like lunker sturgeon - 45 min - an hour? Great video. Thanks for sharing. 

[Ifinch36]

Thanks! They fought really good! Maybe not as long as a sturgeon, but I'd say 20-30 minutes. I'd equate them more to a 90 lbs steelhead. Lot's of runs and jumps.

I may book tonight. Hope they have spots available.

I will be in cabo three weeks from now for 8 days. I plan to plant my butt in a chair on the beach with some cold beverages and a few books. I do enjoy watching the boats come back in to the marina to see what has been caught.

[nwwanderer]

Park that chair where you might see a rooster fish and be ready to get after them!!!!

Went with them today. Got into a lot of marlin but they just weren’t biting anything they threw at them. There were 3 of us the skipper word hard and we all three were able to land a marlin.

I’ve fished a lot down there. To be honest, I don’t charter with the big popular outfits (Pisces, Redrum etc.). They are great but deals can always be had just by visiting the marina and asking around.  I usually charter boats around 26-32 feet. The absolute most important thing to ensure is that your crew speaks English. Not broken but actually can carry on a conversation. 

If you are willing to share with a stranger it makes it much more affordable.  Also, make sure you go the right time of year to catch your target fish. My favorite species is dorado but they are not always in the Cabo area. They migrate.

It is not necessary to go 30 miles or more out either just to catch fish.    I could go on and on. If you want more info PM me.
