BILLFISH:
This week the most abundant species of billfish were striped marlin, with blues
coming in second, and a spattering of sailfish throughout. We had an excellent
catch success rate, with 96 percent of boats being successful and only two
boats getting skunked. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, warm water
and clear skies, accompanied by calm seas and plenty of fish. This really was
an excellent showcase of the outstanding world class fishing destination that
Cabo is.
The Pisces Andrea, captained by Orlando
Murillo and deckhand Silvestre headed out to the 95 Spot to land their
billfish. Taking out a group of anglers from Florida, they ended up catching
and releasing a sailfish of around 85lb and a blue marlin of around 130lb; all
on a half-day trip. The Pisces Tracy Ann captained by Julio Castro took out a
group of anglers from California, landing a perfect example of the top species
for this week. They caught and released a striped marlin, and landed a dorado,
a yellowfin tuna and a 283lb blue marlin, that took skipjack as bait.
OTHER
SPECIES: Pisces boats caught mostly yellowfin tuna and dorado, with some large
tuna still being caught here and there. Although most of them, as well as the
dorado were in the 15-25lb range. The largest tuna caught this week was landed
by the Pisces Knot Workin, coming in at 208lb and caught on a kite with a
fly-fishing lure.
They also
caught and released a 140lb striped marlin, for their anglers from Houston
Texas. Captain Nayo Winkler was on a backup boat this week, and brought in two
wahoos, weighing in at 25 and 35lb each. As well as a dorado and catching and
releasing a striped marlin, for a group of anglers from Arizona. The Pisces
