    I spoke with a client who had been fishing in Cabo last week and he got skunked. He says the increase in boating/fisherman population over the years has depleted the waiters, I mean waters ;)

    What gives? Any relation to global warming? Is he a bad fisherman? Any general concensus on this?

    P.S. This is probably the kinda guy that would admit to a grounding too.

    I'm thinking to many Cerveisas or a kayak with a $5 hardware store fishing rod.
    According to this, it's as good as it gets. Implementing catch and release years ago has paid off for everyone.

    FISHING NEWS & TOURNAMENTS
    The 8th Annual Bisbee’s East Cape Offshore Tournament, July 31 - August 4, 2007.
    The fishing was the best ever seen in any of the Bisbee’s events with 49 blue marlin, 197 striped marlin and 79 sailfish, but with all the activity offshore, only four qualifying blue marlin were brought to the scales - none on the first day, one on the second day and three on the final day. A record 64 boats competed for $351,300.00 in prize money and caught an astounding 320 billfish.

    The 1st place blue marlin:
    418.0 lbs., was caught by Julio Cota of Team Copa Gobernador “A” fishing aboard the Tres Hermanos with Capt. Ramon Tamayo. Cota also weighed in a 51.2 lb. dorado which took the Day 2 Dorado Jackpot making Copa Gobernador’s total payout $108,896.40.
    The 2nd place:
    went to a 344.0 lb. blue caught by John Martin on the Wildcatter with Capt. Enrique Villanueva Martinez. Martin also weighed in the largest yellowfin tuna of the tournament at 164.1 lbs. giving Wildcatter a $51,759.60 payday.
    The 3rd place:
    went to the Finatic with Capt. Richard Asbe for a 317.0 lb. blue caught by Al Rainwater for a purse of $4,032.00.

    The International Game Fish Association (IGFA) Offshore World Championship 2007.
    The team from Lanzarote, Spain, accomplished an unbelievable feat and fishing's prestigious offshore championship title with 10 marlin releases on the final day of the 2007 IGFA Offshore World Championship in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico aboard "Bad Market". This amazing last day of “being in the bite” equaled the 10 release record set by the defending champions last year also on the final day.

    The Premier All-Release Circle Hook Marlin Tournament - May 27th - 31st 2007.
    All circle hook! All release! That's the only way to ensure the future of marlin and billfish fisheries as well as to preserve recreational and tournament fishing – not only in Cabo San Lucas and the Baja peninsula but worldwide. .

    Judy,
    That's why they call it fishing and not catching.

    Long time, no see. Let me know if you'll be at FLIBS this year.

    Thanks, Tom. Are there bears in the woods? Or should I say, are there fish in the sea? ;)
