All About Equipment

Here’s what you should know about equipment/gear:

Hooks:

While hooks come in different sizes and styles, it’s important to keep in mind that they must be sharp and effective. The size of your hook will also depend on the type of fish you’re trying to catch. Striped marlin and trout are different from each other and therefore, the hook used for them will be different.

You can ask fellow anglers who are more seasoned for advice.

Line:

When it comes to lines, remember that the larger the size, the stronger the line is. A six-pound test line is strong and flexible but a 12-pound test line is better. However, it’s important that you match your line to your rod and reel’s capabilities.

Heavier lines aren’t as useful in catching fish and only work for certain types of species. This is because heavy lines are visible to fish.

Sinkers:

Sinkers act as weights for your bait. They take your bait down into deep waters and hold it there for fish to bite.

Bobbers:

Bobbers let you know when you’ve caught a big catch. They also help keep the sinkers in place and the bait down in the water.

A Few Tips to Keep in Mind

Keep Extra Bait: Keep extra bait with you go on a fishing trip. Since this will be your first time, you’ll end up making a few is takes. That’s no reason to worry though. Practice makes perfect and keeping extra can help.

Plan Your Time: The problem with fishing in the ocean is that marine life is always on the move. Therefore, as soon as you throw in the bait, time your movements. As soon as the fish bites the bait, make your move.

Check the Fishing Regulations: This is extremely important. Make sure to read the fishing regulations of the area you are fishing in. This will help you know whether the bait you’ve caught is legal.

Cabo fishing report September 7th 2017

We finally got to go fishing a few days after helping our community as much as we could to get back on track after the impact of the Cyclone Lidia.  

The Anglers that were originally scheduled to fish with us these past few days were not able to fly into town due to bad weather, so we got on board Tailcheaser 45ft Cabo flybridge for 3 days to check if the fishing grounds were still producing as much as they were before the big storm strike our town.

Preparing for Deep Sea Fishing Adventure in Cabo – What You Need to Know

So you’ve chartered a luxury yacht and are all set to sail for your sport fishing adventure in Cabo San Lucas! Whether it’s your very first time or your tenth time, it’s crucial to go over a checklist of all you’re going to bring, and keep in mind what to expect.

The Essentials

You’re going to be spending a considerable amount of time out on the yacht; bearing that in mind, here are some of the essentials you won’t want to forget to pack:

• Sunscreen: You’re going to be spending a lot of time out in the sun, so give your skin the protection it deserves!
• Hat: A hat will keep the sun out of your eyes, particularly when it’s time to catch some game.
• Medicine: Seasickness is an issue that might arise, so pack up that Dramamine for when you might not be feeling too hot. Other essential pain medication is also recommended just in case.
• Camera: You’ve got to have something to capture all those fond memories with!
• Cash: You’re likely to need to purchase bait or pay other fees and tips.
• Snacks: The yacht will have its own, but you’re free to bring your own stash.
• Ice Chest: You’re going to need something to keep the fish you catch in once it’s time to head back in your car.
• Fishing License: Every individual over the age of 12 needs to have a fishing license in Mexico, so don’t forget this very important document!

What to Leave Behind

Don’t go troubling yourself with things you really don’t need to bring along! Things like all the basic fishing gear is certainly something that the charter sport fishing vessel will provide, and the kind of fish you’ll be dealing with will be taken into consideration in this regard. From rods to navigation technologies, your yacht charter service will be able to provide all you need.

The Right Wardrobe

Don’t forget to dress appropriately! Layering is ideal in this scenario, as it can get much cooler on the open seas than it is on land. Weather is also a factor to take into consideration—you never know what kind of turn it might take, so it’s best to be as prepared as possible.

Take along a hoodie or a sweatshirt for warmer temperatures, but if the weather is going to be cooler, then it’s best to get some more layers to cover up with. Ideally, your shoes should be full coverage ones, so leave those flip flops behind! Deck boots or rain boots are really the best option.
