An Incredible gift from Odile

Un increíble regalo de Odile
Enterrado a más de 5 metros de arena este Barco fue descubierto por la fuerza de las olas que golpearon fuertemente contra Land's End.

 An Incredible gift from Odile

Este barco oculto por mas de 30 años de Nombre Lundenberg de Origen Alemán , su principal carga era de yeso que provenía de la Isla de San marcos en el Golfo de California ,fué el 08 de febrero 1954 cuando se estrelló contra estas rocas y dió su ultimo viaje .
Ahora será un espectacular lugar para buceo ya que se creara un arrecife artificial por las condiciones de corrientes y profundidad ,


 This ship was the Lundenberg of German origins was hidden for over 30 years and was carrying a shipment of plaster from San Marcos Island in the Gulf of California. It crashed against the rocks on the year of 1954 and it became its last voyage.
The currents and ocean depth conditions will create an artificial reef from this ship which already is a spectacular place to dive.

2014 Los Cabos Bisbee´s Black and Blue Marlin Tournament 


Cabo San Lucas is one of the prime spots in the world where anglers can consistently catch the two largest species of marlin, blues and blacks. There are differences between the two, however, and that calls for different tactics.



Blacks tend to hang around reefs and structure with large concentrations of bait. So the underwater mounts off the tip of the Baja peninsula like Gordo Bank and Jaime Bank are prime places to bridle a live skipjack or yellowfin tuna and slowly bump the boat in and out of gear until a marlin spots it and decides to eat.

Blues, on the other hand, are open water predators that roam rips, currents and weed lines in search of food like dorado and squid. Boats targeting blue marlin often use lures so they can troll faster to cover more water to maximize the presentation.



So far, lures have had the edge in the 2014 Black & Blue. The qualifying fish—all blues—have been fooled by lures. Locally-made, Hi-5 Lures have been consistent Bisbee’s winners over the years.

2014 Los Cabos Billfish Tournament Day 1


 2014 Los Cabos Billfish Tournament 



The first day of fishing in the 2014 Los Cabos Billfish Tournament proved productive, especially for Team Reel Gold.
Alaskan Jason Snyder, currently of Namibia, hooked up to a nice blue marlin at 12:27 p.m., and after a tough 30-minute battle the crew had the marlin on board. At the IGY Marina Cabo San Lucas weigh gantry, the fish weighed in at 365 pounds, winning levels 1-4 Daily Marlin Jackpots worth $2​​0,700 and giving Team Reel Gold the lead in the tournament.
Team Picante 45 earned Wednesday’s Daily Release Jackpot. Team captain and angler David Machado of Gulfport, Mississippi, caught a striped marlin and blue marlin, earning Picante 45 600 release points and the Daily $2,400 Release Jackpot. Team Picante 45 currently leads the Billfish Release Division, followed by Pocket Aces and Solmar.
In the Tuna/Wahoo/Dorado Jackpot, Team Minerva II angler Gary Anderson from Canada weighed a 25.4-pound dorado to take the $2,100 Daily Jackpot. Team Estrella Del Norte angler Gonzalo Gastillo of San Jose Del Cabo won the $2,100 Tuna Jackpot, besting a 180-pound yellowfin after a two-hour fight on 60-pound-test line. There were no wahoo weighed in, so that jackpot rolls to day two of fishing.
After another beautiful sunrise, Thursday’s shotgun starts at 7:30 a.m. from both Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo sent the teams racing off in the hopes of finding a winning fish. Today​ is the second of three days of LCBT fishing with cash, prizes and glory on the line.
