An unusual fishing week from Cabo San Lucas that offered up a pair of blue marlin but no stripers or sailfish. Equally of interest is that all of the boats fished the Pacific side this past week, from Gray Rock, (Cabeza De Ballena) to Migrino, and both of the blue marlin were taken about 2-3 miles apart from each other and within a couple miles of the harbor. Overall, it was a decent fishing week, albeit, not many billfish, but still, the boats averaged nearly 6 dorado per trip and that keeps the interest up. The overall combined fish counts for the 10 days fished reflected 2 blue marlin, (280 lbs. was the bigger of the two, taken aboard the Gaviota VII) 2 wahoo, 6 yellowffin tuna and 57 dorado, (mostly in the 12-18 lb. ranges) and a few to 25 lbs. or so).
