CABO FISH REPORT - NOVEMBER 10TH, 2008

Well our tournament season has finished with the Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot Tournament! Although I just checked the website and the results are still not posted, you all should try in the next few days at www.loscabostunajackpot.com and get all the exciting results. We had the tournament radio channel going on here in the store for everyone to listen to and I have to tell you that it was exciting! It was great to hear so much action going on and our customers loved it. I won't spoil it for you but I will tell you that the winning yellowfin weighed 244 pounds! How's that for a big cow!

The fishing for Minerva's Fleet has been awesome with all our boats fishing 100% of the time on the Pacific Side around the Golden Gate Banks. Everything is coming on live bait. I kid you not our boats are averaging 7.25 striped marlin PER BOAT! What are you waiting for, if you have been dreaming about fighting a big game bill fish, this is the time. It is amazing, people are going out fishing just to see this phenomenon. You can spot hundreds upon hundreds of striped marlin on the surface of the water. Some of our clients have really had to challenge themselves, such as Joel Mc Call who fished with two friends on the 1st of November aboard the "Minerva III" and had to bring in 16 striped marlin, or how about Matt and Linda Dye who also fished on the 1st of November aboard the "Minerva VI" and caught and released 23 striped marlin! As incredible as all those testimonials are, nothing can top the "GET OVER IT" yesterday at the Golden Gate Banks with 10 fishermen catching and releasing 197 striped marlin. I asked them why they didn't get 3 more and make it an even 200 and they said, "We used all the bait we could find and make and there simply was no more!" They looked whipped when they returned, and I'll even get personal here in a kind way, they all stunk! That's right, they smelled just like fish! They were sooooo happy!

Okay, so now you know that the tuna fishing is good, the striped marlin fishing is fantastic and what about Dorado and Wahoo? Well, the Dorado are here, few and far between and so are the wahoo. Mike, Jim and Pat Clark caught a beautiful 52 pound wahoo aboard the "Minerva V" on November 4th and that happened after they caught 13 dorados on November 3rd. I don't want everyone to get excited, they were lucky enough to run across a school of them. There are also some sailfish sprinkled in here and there, so far we have caught and released 3 sailfish in the last week.

The weather in Cabo is magnificent! It couldn't be nicer if I was holding the temperature control. The air is 84 degrees in the day and the water is right along side at about 80 degrees on the pacific near the Golden Gate which is our hot spot for the month! We hope to see some of you here and if we can help you set up your fishing trip, drop me an e-mail at minerva@minervas.Com
