Santa was good to the Cabo Anglers this week. And he began early! Good weather, good seas, lots of fish, with lots of variety. It was a virtual paradise; next week will be more of the same! A great finish to a great year … HO, HO, HO! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Scott Elsas, an avid angler from Georgia, was fishing aboard the “CHASIN TAIL” a 62-foot Viking with Captain Pepe and Mates Ulises, Ramon, and Dulce. They were all excited, and shouts could be heard throughout the huge vessel as they celebrated the catches and the day on the water! Scott caught and released Four 90 to 100-pound Striped Marlin on mackerel, One 35-pound Wahoo on Ballyhoo, and Five Grouper from 15 to 40 pounds on squid, all at the Golden Bank.
“ANDREA,” a 28-foot Uniflite, with Captain Fernando and Mate Juan Alcaras, had a couple of anglers from Manchester, N.J., who were there to catch a marlin. They did. Plus, they caught four more, so they caught and released Five Striped Marlin weighing 90 to 140 pounds, One 75-pound Mako Shark, and One 60-pound Wahoo all on mackerel at the La Brecha. Great day, Hunter Rosen and Robert Simon!
Chartering the ‘TIBURON,’ a 31-foot Bertram, with Captain Bruce Champion running the boat and Mate Carlos Santos running the cockpit, Andy Stoker, Ashlyn Stoker, and Drew Stoker from North Carolina had a great trip catching a variety of fish. They caught and released Three 100 to 120-pound Striped Marlin, Two 10 to 20-pound Grouper, One 40-pound Hammerhead Shark, and One Thresher Shark weighing 80 pounds all caught on bait at the Golden Gate.
On the 31-foot Bertram, the “REBECCA,” Captain Orlando and Mate Jose Gomez were an excellent choice for their clients Matthew Sisco, Ryan Evans, and Sydney Sisco. As an incredibly skilled captain and mate, they know the waters around Los Cabos well and helped their group catch and release Five 100 to 120-pound Striped Marlin on mackerel. They also caught Three Grouper in the 15 to 22-pound range, One Hammerhead Shark weighing 60 pounds, and One 50-pound Wahoo all on mackerel at the Golden Gate.
Josie Koeshall and Samuel Koeshall, fishing with Captain Frank and Mate Arturo on the “ADRIANA,” a 28-foot Uniflite, caught Five Yellowfin Tuna in the 10 to 35-pound range on bait, 25 miles to the 240 area. It was a beautiful day on the water, and they had a great time getting to know the captain and mate. It was a fun day where they kept busy catching the hard-fighting tuna.
The “HORIZON,” an 87-foot Horizon with Captain Juan and Mates, took their group Becky Heller, David Heller, Ellie Heller, Grahm Miller, Rachel Rothstein, Sam Heller, and Van Heller to the Golden Gate to find fish. They caught and released Two Striped Marlin weighing around 100 to 120 pounds, One Hammerhead Shark weighing around 70 pounds on mackerel, and One 40-pound Wahoo on a lure. The fish were caught on the Golden Bank. The boat was a dream, but the captain and crew made it an even more pleasant fishing platform. Everyone had a perfectly splendid time!
“CALIENTE,” a 42-foot Cabo Flybridge, with Captain Jaime and Mate Luis, had a large group of seven aboard eager to catch marlin and other species. Being avid anglers, they just wanted to fish! And that they did! They caught and released Eight Striped Marlin up to 120 pounds, Two 40-pound Mako Shark, and One 40-pound Wahoo. They were all caught on mackerel at the La Brecha. Callen Crowley, Colin Brennan, Joe Crowley, Kenzis Crowley, Liam Crowley, Mark Brennan, and Owen Brennan from Pensacola, Florida, were pleased when they left the boat with stories of their trip to tell their friends at home.
The Captain of the “HOT ROD,” a 42-foot Cabo Flybridge, Erick Orozco, and Mate Hot Rod Jose Ramiro Ramirez, took off for the La Brecha, where he caught and released Ten Striped Marlin from 90 to 150 pounds on mackerel and sardina at the La Brecha! Sometimes, the siren call of the reel is too much to resist, and even the captain is drawn to catch a few fish! Merry Christmas, Captain Erick!
Aubrey Woodard, Chris Rankin, Darin Woodard, and Dylan Woodard, from Spotsylvania Courthouse Virginia, had outstanding success on the “RIPPER,” a 35-foot Cabo Flybridge with Captain Abel and Mates Niko and Jose Luis, had reports that the La Brecha was the place to go once again for Striped Marlin and they headed in that direction. When they arrived, their clients caught and released Ten Striped Marlin in the 100 to 120-pound class on bait. Of course, they were thrilled!
On Christmas Eve Day, solo angler Kristen Brooke chartered the “VALERIE,” a 35-foot Bertram, with Captain Salvador Flores and Mate Ulises G. She was kept busy as she caught and released Eight Dorado in the 20-pound range on feathers and bait and Nine Yellowfin Tuna also in the 20-pound range on mackerel, all 23 miles to the 120 Spot. Being quite the fisherwoman, Kristen spent the day learning all she could from the Captain and mate and thought it was the best Christmas she could have had!
WEDNESDAY MERRY CHRISTMAS
“KNOT WORKIN,” a 35-foot Cabo Flybridge, run by Captain Tito Olascoaga and Mate David Martinez for clients from Searcy, Arkansas, Alec Rush, Lauren Rush, Maddox Rush, and Michael Rush. They caught the WINNING Yellowfin Tuna for the month, a 200-pounder on Live Bait, 8 miles between the Two Lighthouses. Congratulations to the Rush Family! A 200-pound Yellowfin Tuna is quite a prize!
The “BILL COLLECTOR,” a 32-foot Cabo Express with Captain Nico at the Helm and Mate Eric overseeing the cockpit, headed straight to the 95 Spot, where they found One 90-pound Striped Marlin that their group from Appleton Washington caught and released on a lure, and Two 40-pound Wahoo, one weighing 42-pounds and one weighing 48-pounds that they caught on ballyhoo. Brent Seaborn, Dean Seaborn, Essa Mansoori, John Mansoori, Nazzy Mansoori, and Suahla Seaborn were thrilled with the results of their trip, especially the nice-sized Wahoo.
“REBECCA,” a 31-foot Bertram, Captain Jose Ramon Alucano, and Mate Jose ran to the Herradura. They found One small, 4-pound Dorado there, which their clients released.

“HAPPY ENDING,” a 60-foot Viking with Captain Francisco and Mates helped their California group catch One 20-pound Dorado and One 47-pound Wahoo, both on lures outside the Lighthouse. Easton Cummins, James Joyce, Luke Cummins, Olivia Cummins, Peter Jones, Roark Cummins, Sam Cummins, and Wes Cummins had a Happy Ending on the “HAPPY ENDING!” It was a wonderful day!
Captain Miguel and Mate ran to the La Brecha where his guests aboard the “LA CHINGONA,” a 46-foot Viking, caught and released Five Striped Marlin from 80 to 120 pounds on mackerel. The weather was beautiful, and the fishing was excellent. They were in fish almost all day.
Carson Henry, Cooper Henry, Eric Howard, Jay Howard, Stanton Henry, and Ty Howard chartered the “LISTO,” a 48-foot Viking, with Captain Ray and Mate Kiuri.
