The week is once again a perfect Cabo week – great for fishing, great for water sports, great for tanning, and great for escaping all the cold weather in the rest of the world. Once again, clear skies, smooth seas, with waves not above ten feet. Water and air temperatures remained in the mid-80s, creating ideal conditions for our experienced captains and crews to take their clients out fishing.
