BILLFISH: Another amazing week for fishing in Cabo.
Beautiful weather, calm seas, just perfect. The week started off a bit slow,
boats went to the Golden Gate area and the dorados were hard to find, so were
the marlin, Bill Collector took Richard &Dustin Simoncic from Phoneix AZ to
the Finger banks, about 18 miles further than the Golden Gate, a long run but
was worth it as they released 5 striped marlin and landed 2 football size tunas
and a 20 lbs dorado. Our good friends Terry & Linda Smith from California
went on their annual trip aboard the Tracy Ann on the 18th, Julio
took them to the 220 spot on the Pacific side and they released 3 striped
marlin and 2 Blue Marlin, both estimated at 350 to 400 lbs. After that, some
marlin were found closer to shore around the Old Lighthouse but still a bit
slow, however the boats started to find some yellowfin around that area, so
only the anglers really interested on going for marlin ventured all the way to
the Finger again, like the Dunlap Family from Baton Rouge LA, releasing 5
striped marlin aboard the Tracy Ann on the 19th, our Swedish
friends, Anders Lundgren (he looks just like Sammy Hagar), Roger Sturk and
Robin Gustaussum, relasing 6 striped marlin aboard the Rebecca, the rest of
their group went aboard La Brisa and released 5 sriped marlin, they were closer
though, only about 10 miles from shore. Falcon released a Blue Marlin estimated
at 250 lbs for Mike Verdegaal from Cali. Fearless released 5 stripeys for
Angelo, Lasehe, Max, Peter, Nick and Panss Smyrnios from Colorado, they were
fishing the Herradura spot.
This week, 42% of our boats
caught billfish, a total of 82 striped marlin, all released, 3 pacific
sailfish, all released and 7 blue marlin, 6 were successfully released.

OTHER CATCHES: Small game fishing turned up to be a bit slow this week, Dorados have
been a bit hard to find and tunas are still scattered between the Sea of Cortes
and the Pacific. Still, 62% of our boats caught Dorado, only 13% caught tuna.
The catch of the week goes to Bill Collector with 20 dorados in one day for
Richard Simoncic from Phoenix AX, this guy’s week was awesome!
