PISCES
FISH REPORT
October
22nd to October 28th, 2016
Overall
catch success rate, all species combined: 72%
Numbers
at a glance: Billfish 49%, Tuna 12%, Dorado 30%, other 7%
This week we
saw an overall decrease in our catch success rate, with 72% of boats catching
fish. The beginning and end of the week saw better catches, with about half of
boats catching fish during the middle of the week. Despite this, we still saw
individual boats get lucky and land some impressive catches. We had a very
large 639lbs blue marlin boated on the 23rd by Jamie and Ben from California,
as well as a 35lbs dorado. This was her Jamie’s first time catching a marlin,
while they were also celebrating their wedding anniversary on this day. This
fish was landed with captain Eric Orozco on the Pisces Hot Rod, taking a
tigrillo lure about one mile offshore from Rancho Las Margaritas. Had this fish
been caught just two days earlier in the Bisbee’s tournament, it would have
placed in first and been worth quite a pretty penny.
The Pisces Tracy Ann,
captained by Julio Castro had a great day on the 24th, they took out a group of
anglers from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; to the Sea Mount spot. They ended up
catching and releasing two blue marlin of around 200-220lbs, as well as an
80lbs sailfish and a 15lbs yellowfin.
The 28th saw some great multiple marlin
numbers landed on Pisces boats, all landed on caballito live bait on the
Pacific side. The Pisces Ruthless, caught and released five striped marlin of
around120-150lbs, for a group of anglers from New York. While the Pisces Tracy
Ann did the same feat, catching and releasing five striped marlin in the same
range for a group of anglers form Santa Cruz, California. And last but not
least, the Pisces Rebecca, caught and released three striped marlin, just off
of Punta Lobos for a group of anglers from North Carolina.
The 22nd saw
the Pisces C Rod, captained by Abel Ramirez come in with two yellowfin tuna
above a hundred pounds. Weighing in at 132 & 146lbs respectively, for a
group of anglers from Texas. While on the 23rd the Pisces Yahoo, captained by
Ricardo Escamilla, landed five yellowfin tuna, mostly in the 30-40lbs range,
with a large 147lbs tuna as well. They were landed about 30 miles from the 140
Spot, for a group of anglers from Texas.
The 26th was our best day for large
tuna, with various boats landing fish over 100lbs. The Pisces Andrea caught and
released a striped marlin, and then landed a 168lbs yellowfin tuna. While the
Pisces Flora T, caught two behemoths, weighing in at 186 and 135lbs each. This
was about 30 miles from the 180 Spot, for a group of anglers from Texas.
Followed by the Pisces Tracy Ann, that landed a 231 pound monster tuna at the
11:50 Spot on a green-yellow lure for the Bulaon’s from California.
