Planning a fishing trip to Cabo San Lucas this Summer.  This will be the first time

we have been offshore fishing.  Does anyone have any recommendations for a charter boat 

out of Cabo?  We are hoping to get into some bill fish!

Thanks

Got a two man limit in about 3 hours in the AM, 2 steelhead and the rest all Kings. Fished 25 -50 fow, in the mud. Riggers 15 - 30 down, 3 and 4 color lead core.

Spoons, plugs and spin doctors

I had bad luck with the Sampo last year, probably had 6 of them bend straight out, thru them in the trash and switching to DW this year

I currently run both the blacks and walkers, I have had some problems with the adjustment screw on the walkers, no problems with the blacks. I also run the blacks on the outriggers, they work great!

I was out on Tue and ended up 6 for 12, most of the fish came in 90 to 140 fow and down 60 to 120. The large paddles seem to be working the best. There were some boats in close, but not sure how they did. Unless we get a good north wind to cool the water off, I'm guessing the fish will be out past the 60 fow for the weekend.

Good luck!

I joined the site this week, I fish Lake Mishigan out of the Grand Haven area. I have a 28' Carolina Classic, which has been great for fishing. I've been fishing for salmon since the mid 80's, so I've seen a lot of changes in the years. I also enjoy fishing for other types of fish, if anyone would be interested in swaping a Muskie trip for a salmon trip, let me know!

Good Luck Fishing!

Fished from 5:30pm till 9pm, went 3 for 5, fish came in about 120 fow, NBK went a couple of times and the large white coyote flasher with pickle fly also went a couple of times, 60 - 90 feet down. Nice evening on the lake!
