Making Dreams Come True



Not only is Cabo still standing we are continuing to make people’s dreams come true.

Pictured above are Henrik and Jane, who had their trip planned for a long time and they were coming a long way, all the way from Denmark in fact.  So they didn’t want a hurricane to get in the way of a goal that Henrik had been chasing for over 25 years and that  had taken him to such places as Guatemala, Galapagos, New Zealand, Australia and Thailand without success.

Despite a difficult journey to get here,  on Henrik and Jane’s second day of fishing with Pisces, they finally reached the goal that Henrik and dreamed of since he was a boy, to catch a blue marlin. Not only did he catch a blue marlin, but a sailfish too, along with some nice dorado. He was typically Danish stoic as we chatted to him early this morning, but was very happy as he told us that he had read Hemmingway’s Old Man and the Sea several times and hoped he would get another one today.

Cabo Strong


Everybody wants to leave the hurricane behind but we were given this photo today and had to publish it.  It says so much - it is a symbol of the resilience of the people of Cabo and the fishing community and a reminder that the mighty marlin & fishing is the foundation of what our town is built upon, something that Hurricane Odile could not overcome.  

We bumped into a couple of tourists today on the marina, who had arrived on the first flight by Alaska Air out of Los Angeles.  They told us that they were blown away by the reception they received, with mariachis playing as they got off the plane and about a hundred people to greet them; the young lady said it made her cry - but truly we are all excited to see our beloved anglers and tourists.
