Jerry Chapman of JC Sportfishing. “It’s that time of year that everyone who lives in Cabo looks forward to, a change from the hot summer. I have been here many rears and I can feel it changing pretty fast but still hot in the day time and somewhat humid at night.” “The blue marlin is epic and probably the best I have seen in 20 years with all kinds of blue, black and striped marlin being caught basically all over our fishing grounds. The hot spot are up on the Pa- cific side up and off of Las Margaritas. We have landed so many fish that we can’t keep track of everything. Most fish are in the 200 to 300 pound range with our boats catching multiple fish all week. Really we are having epic days and off the hook marlin fishing right now. Here is an over- all look at things and how they shaped up this past week,” Chapman said. “It really is epic fishing right now. If you can get here to Cabo in the next week I think you can get in on some of this action. Honestly, it is once in a life time fishing,” Chapman exclaimed. “There are lots of foot- ball size tuna, with good number being landed all week. The tuna have been moving from the Horse Shoe to San Jamie Banks. The tuna have been hard to catch actually with most fish hitting King Busters but the bigger tuna are biting live bait and lures. Quite a few tuna in the 25 to 30 pound range also, so it’s been pretty good. These anglers enjoyed incredible tuna fishing off Baja’s East Cape on September 27.
