We had great fishing and catching this period! Cabo San Lucas is still seeing weather and water patterns/conditions more typical of springtime too.

An estimated nearly 300# swordfish was lost on the first day of this period. Sunday 10 July aboard our flagship "CABO MAGIC" Thomas Cuttler and friends from Crystal Beach, Florida, on their second and final day aboard, experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. They boated 19 Yellowfin Tuna in the 60-80# Class and successfully released a Striped Marlin, when they hooked into the Swordfish. After almost 4 hours fighting this larger than usually seen in our area Swordie, and after three times of seeing the fish around 20 feet from the boat, the fish won the battle.

Carl Wikoff and his son Michael visiting from Clearwater, Florida experienced a fine CABO MAGIC Experience in their three days with us aboard "CABO MAGIC" and "ADRENALINE" with these impressive totals: Release of 8 Striped Marlin, as well as boating 1 Wahoo and an estimated 60$ Bull Dorado.
