CABO SAN LUCAS FISHING CHARTERS AND TACKLE - MINERVA'S BAJA TACKLE For the best Cabo sport fishing trip, book with a Cabo San Lucas fishing legend. Minerva's Cabo San Lucas fishing charters started way back in 1976 when Cabo was just a sleepy fishing village, no marina, dirt roads and a couple of hotels and restaurants. Great fishing is what Cabo San Lucas was famous for then... still is now. We're proud to say that we've played a big part in not only starting the sport fishing industry in Cabo San Lucas, but also in preserving the resource by promoting responsible fisheries management and gamefish conservation. Marlin, tuna, dorado, wahoo, swordfish, yellowtail and countless other species inhabit the waters here at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, and we aim to keep it that way.
Minerva's Baja Tackle has over 35 years of experience fishing Los Cabos. Our crews are proven tournament winners, our charter boats are tournament rigged and we're ready to provide you with the ultimate Cabo fishing trip. If this will be your first time fishing in Cabo, we'll make it easy and arrange for everything you need. Mexican fishing licenses, boxed lunches and drinks, fish packing and smoking... we can help take care of it for you. If you're a veteran Cabo angler, you'll appreciate the quality of our boats and the knowledge and abilities of our crews. MINERVA'S FLEET OF QUALITY FISHING CHARTER BOATS IN CABO SAN LUCAS Nothing’s worse than booking a fishing charter to only find that the boats are of inferior quality and the crew just doesn’t seem to care about their clients catching fish. All of Minerva’s boats are maintained by our staff and come fully equipped with safety gear. Top-of-the-line Penn fishing reels, IGFA Tournament Grade rods, fighting chairs, stand-up harnesses and great lure collections. All that plus crews that love to fish almost as much as they love to see their clients catch, catch, catch.... that's what Minerva's is all about! Most clients who come fishing with us once tend to be hooked for life. If you’re looking for the right boats and the right crews to make your Cabo fishing trip all that it can be, then book your Cabo fishing charter with Minerva’s. If you opt to fish with someone else, just make sure that you’re dealing with a reputable charter company being very careful about booking from “coyotes” on the docks. We want you to have a great day on the water.... not get ripped off by unscrupulous people posing as fishing charter agents who are only looking to relieve you of your money!

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT/FORECAST 47 teams from around the world are here in Cabo San Lucas for the 2012 IGFA Offshore World Championship. This is an invitiation only event where only those teams that won an IGFA approved tournament can compete for world championship recognition. Conditions are great and the fishing looks to be terrific with a nice bite on striped marlin. The first fish of the day was hooked just 49 minutes after the shotgun start and 28 more came boatside for release before 9:20am!! That's a fast pace like we haven't seen in years so the action promises to be hot, hot and hotter over the course of the next four days. Minerva's boats are part of the fleet line-up and we're proud to be a part of this international sport fishing event.
