Fly Fish Baja

Hi Folks,

I just love the late spring in Cabo, you will be hard pressed to find a better fishery anywhere in the world! I don’t get much rest or sleep in May and June, all’s I can think about is fishing, and then when I get off the water, all my thoughts turn to the next days outing. It’s crazy, I have been doing this my entire life and it still drives me nuts. What a great life!

Wow, the inshore fishing continues to be really good. This spring is shaping up to be one of the best I have seen in Cabo.

Lots of fun exciting action on flies as well as spinning gear for roosterfish, jacks, sierra mackerel, yellowtail, and cubera snappers.

On top of that we are starting to catch some really big roosterfish, just ask Doug and Jamie Semlerd from Alexandria, Virginia. Doug caught roosterfish, sierra mackerel and cubera snappers and ended their day with a 50 pound plus roosterfish on light spinning tackle.

Lou Bevelaqua from Long Island New York had another great day with us, he caught a large variety of fish and also got a nice roosterfish over 40 lbs. This has to be at least his 12th giant roosterfish fishing with us over the years.

The offshore fishing has slowed down a bit. We are catching striped marlin, expect one to three fish on a days outing. Tossing live baits to tailers is the best bet.

The YF tuna have mostly left or either caught by the commercial fishing boats. You can catch 6 to 10 fish a day, but its not the crazy action we had a few weeks ago.

The dorado are mostly by catch while fishing for striped marlin and on the small side with most fish under 20 lbs.

Expect the striped marlin fishing to improve in the next few days, as mid May is prime time for the stripers.
