Tight lines from Lands End Charters
Monday on the 30 ft La Dueña, Captain Felipe and crew put this beautiful sailfish on the deck for a very happy angler. Sails were the story of the week across the Lands End Charters fleet, with fish on La Dueña and the Picudo Monday and the Kahuna Wednesday, while El Torito kept the yellowfin coming. Hurricane Simon stayed well offshore, and the fish did not seem to mind one bit.

October and November are prime time for striped marlin in Magdalena Bay. The marlin push in on the bait balls, the wahoo show up with them, and on a good day you can watch tailing fish from the bridge. It is a bucket list trip for any billfish angler.
We run everything from a day in a panga through the mangroves to a long weekend at a lodge in the dunes, a full week aboard a Cabo sportfisher, and a mothership trip. Popular fall dates fill up months ahead, so reach out early and we will build the trip around your group.
