Cabo San Lucas — the iconic, rocky cape at the tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula — stands vigil at the confluence of two great seas: the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Gulf of California to the east.
The harbor adjacent to this magnificent headland — Los Cabos Marina — also serves as the launch point for one of the most prolific marlin fisheries on Earth. One of the best times to enjoy the magical action is in spring — from mid-April to mid-June.
I had a chance to experience, photograph and chronicle this world-class action when I was invited to fish aboard Don Luis, courtesy of owner Jorge Tellez, who also owns the Solmar Sportfishing Fleet based in Los Cabos Marina. My Cabo San Lucas visit was hosted by the Los Cabos Tourism Board during the 2014 Cabo Marine Show, which takes place in the marina.
