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!

When I say, “Catch it in Los Cabos” I mean, CATCH IT IN LOS CABOS! The striped marlin are here and they are close and yet……some days their just not as hungry as others which has been the case yesterday and today!
We have had a bang up couple of weeks fishing striped marlin, averaging a 100% catch rate on most days – and these stripers are running big with some anglers reporting 150 to 160 pounders!
As if these weren’t good enough numbers, we were also catching dorado and wahoo. Yellowtail too are making themselves known and the fish are huge, but you got to fish deep! You've have to get the lures down the water column, at least 100 feet. Sinkers are not enough when the current is strong so this is the time to get out those downriggers. If you don’t have a downrigger than use planers and z-wings on the troll to move those baits into the strike zone.
