PISCES FISH REPORT
OCTOBER 20TH TO 26TH, 2012
Overall Catch Success Rate 89%
BILLFISH: What a week! One of the most important
tournaments worldwide and the richest one just took place in Cabo, the Bisbee’s
Black & Blue 2012, with 107 teams and over 700 anglers. Unfortunately there
were not many fish worth taking back to the weight station, with a minimum
300lbs weight limit, anything smaller would have been disqualified and the team
penalized. With a total of 67 billfish caught, 64 of them were released, 3 were
brought to the weight station, unfortunately, 2 of them were below the limit
and the fish was disqualified. As on day one there were no qualifying fish
brought to scale, the $711,000 jackpot was rolled over to the second day,
adding up to a $1.4 million dollar price to whoever brought in the biggest
catch, lucky team Frantic Pace (fishing the tournament for the very first time)
brought in their blue marlin to be weighed and scored 465lbs, with no other
fish caught that day, they took home the jackpot. At the end of the 3rd
day, there was no other qualifying fish brought to the station, and Team
Frantic Pace being the only team presenting a qualified catch, they earned the
full jackpot, $2.4 million dollars for this first timers, I think we will be seeing
them a lot around here from now on.
On our regular report, not
too much action on billfish, “Tracy Ann” released 2 striped marlin and landed 4
dorado for Clint Lord from Phoenix AZ on the 23rd and then another 2
stripeys for Christopher Klekar from Halletsville TX and also 13 dorados. “Bill
Collector” caught a 270 lbs Black Marlin for Matthew Rainwater from Forth Worth
TX. 31% of the boats caught billfish this week, a total of 18 striped marlin
were caught, 17 were released, 3 pacific sailfish, all released, 4 blue marlin,
3 of them released, and a 270 lbs black marlin.
OTHER CATCHES: It’s all about the Dorado, hundreds of them! Seems like we will be
having mahi-mahi for a while. 89% of the boats caught at least one of this
guys. Most of the catches were between 3 and 7 fish, but there were some really
nice ones, starting with Bill Collector, with 15 dorados between 20 – 25lbs
caught at Pozo Cota for Eric Katajamaki from BC Canada, La Brisa with 13 for
Brian O’neil from Berlin NJ, Rebecca & Tracy Ann are tied with 12 dorados
for Sean Patterson from Little Elm TX (Rebecca) and Jim Jandrain from Austin
TX. The catch of the week however goes to “Ruthless” with Captain Leon Camacho,
with 20 dorados caught at Migriño for Dennis Wyssbrod’s party from Florida. We
are still waiting on the yellow fin tunas to arrive, we have the Los Cabos Tuna
