Cabo Fishing Report: Tuna Takeover Aboard Blue Sea – May 3rd
On May 3rd, 2025, the offshore waters of Cabo San Lucas came alive as a powerhouse crew of ten anglers from Texas and Illinois—Bachlear Ryan Kuhn, Antoni Hansdorfer, Thomas Cobbs, Thomas Clark, Thomas Evans, John Neal, Nick Keefe, Daniel Hagen, Peter Nelson, and Mac Mardjetko—set out aboard the formidable Blue Sea BERTRAM 60. With Captain Alex at the helm and the tuna bite heating up, the team was primed for a day of drag-screaming runs, deep dives, and offshore glory.
Why Cabo in May Is Tuna Paradise
Cabo’s spring waters are a magnet for yellowfin tuna, thanks to rising temperatures, bait-rich currents, and ideal trolling conditions.
- Prime Season: May kicks off the tuna run, with schools gathering near Gordo Banks and the 1150 Spot.
- Tuna Tactics: Live bait, cedar plugs, and high-speed trolling are the go-to methods.
- The Challenge: Tuna are known for their brute strength and relentless stamina, making every hook-up a test of will.
Weather & Water Conditions – May 3rd
The ocean delivered textbook conditions for a tuna hunt:
- Wind: 5–6 mph – smooth seas for trolling
- Water Temp: 78°F – perfect for yellowfin activity
- Clarity: Excellent – ideal for spotting bait schools and predator shadows
Blue Sea BERTRAM 60: Built for Offshore Warfare
The Blue Sea is a 60-foot sportfishing machine, fully equipped for big-game battles.
- Captain Alex used sonar and GPS to track bait-rich zones and temperature breaks.
- The expansive cockpit allowed the crew to rotate rods and fight multiple fish simultaneously.
- All-inclusive amenities included breakfast, lunch, open bar, bait, licenses, and full media coverage with drone and photography.
Fishing Highlights: Tuna Chaos, Cabo Style
🎣 Early Action – The First Strike
Just after 9 a.m., the first reel screamed. Thomas Clark took the rod and locked into a 40-pound yellowfin that dove deep and fought dirty. After a 25-minute battle, the fish was iced and the tone was set.
🐟 Midday Madness – Doubles and Triples
As the sun climbed, the tuna bite turned electric. Nick, Antoni, and Peter each hooked up within minutes of each other. The deck turned into a coordinated dance of rod angles, footwork, and adrenaline.
By early afternoon, the crew had landed multiple yellowfin, with Mac and Daniel closing out the final two in a flurry of action.
“It was like a tuna rodeo,” said John Neal. “Every time we reset the lines, another reel went off.”
