Cabo San Lucas is often referred to as the striped marlin capital of the world, and fishing for stripers has been nearly as hot as the weather these past few weeks off Baja California’s tip.
But what’s peculiar, according to reports, is the number of sharks mixed in with marlin at some of the main areas in the Sea Of Cortez.
Pisces Sportfishing reports the catch of 20 sharks during the past week, most of which were released. They included threshers, hammerheads and pilot sharks.
A May 20 charter aboard Bill Collector caught threshers weighing 160 and 140 pounds, along with the release of two marlin. The larger thresher shark fought for nearly four hours.
Anglers aboard Ruthless, Rebecca and La Brisa also caught threshers, and the Bill Collector crew logged another day in which anglers released three pilot sharks weighing to about 180 pounds, plus a thresher and striped marlin.
The Rebecca crew, on another day, logged the catch (and release) of a hammerhead shark, along with two threshers and a striper.
Hammerheads are protected and must be released.
The prime fishing spots are Punta Gorda and Points north, and the 11.50 spot.
