This week
saw almost exclusive catches in the other category, with the main gamefish
being caught by our boats in the fleet being: sierra mackerel, grouper,
yellowtail, red snapper, roosterfish and amberjack. Boats remained for the most
part on the Pacific side and used macarela (mackerel) for live bait, or it was
cut up as bait and sunk to the bottom to coax out the groupers and other deeper
water inshore fishes. Two boats this week landed marlin, one of them having
gone out to the Finger Bank, while the other was lucky enough to find a marlin
near the Old Lighthouse at Cabo Falso.
The
Pisces Tracy Ann was the boat that landed the first and largest marlin of the
week coming in at 150lbs, for some anglers from Massachusetts. The Pisces La
Brisa had a nice day on the 8th they found themselves fishing just off the
coast near the Golden Gate, where they landed 6 sierra mackerel, as well as a
really nice 35lbs yellowtail. While the Pisces Tracy Ann on the 9th had a
really nice mixed bag of game fish for their anglers from Houston, Texas. They
were fishing near La Lobera (or the sea lion colony) when they landed nine
sierra mackerel, seven groupers, and five red snappers. All of these being
supreme eating fish, we’re sure that clients have been enjoying this
introduction to some of the more varied and smaller game fish species in Cabo.
