Tight lines from Lands End Charters
Sailfish carried the week for Lands End Charters. The 27 ft Big Kahuna II opened it with four guests and a sailfish off the Cabo coast, more sailfish followed, and late in the week Captain Casey's crew had a big sailfish for a group of four guests and a dorado. At the WON Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot, Solomon's Toy won with a 220.15 lb tuna caught on day 2, according to the tournament's scoring site. The water off Cabo is about 85°.

November is the heart of striped marlin season in Magdalena Bay, on the Pacific side of Baja California Sur. Marlin Magazine named Baja its Editor's Choice for striped marlin, and Bisbee's is running its first Mag Bay Mania, a release only tournament, all month. The water at Puerto San Carlos was about 83° on Nov 4, well above the November average. A cold front closed the Mag Bay ports to small boats on Nov 3, so build a spare day into your trip.
We plan Mag Bay trips from a day in a panga through the mangroves to a long weekend at a dune lodge, a week aboard a Cabo sportfisher or a mothership. Tell us your dates and we will plan the rest.
