What Does Your Office Look LIike?

Well we don't know what your workplace looks like but this photo shows what our crews "office" looks like. Shown here is Beto Lira from Ruthless prepping for a day of fishing.

So What Did You Do Today?

Well most of spent a long day at the grindstone working, but not John David from Denver, Colorado, he is much smarter than us. He spent a day on the water aboard our 28 ft "Andrea", under blue skies and hooked this big tuna 25 miles off of the Old Lighthouse. He got a work out though, as it took him one hour and forty five minutes to bring this 160 lb'er to the boat after it took a live caballito.

BILLFISH: Happy Independence Day Mexico!  We celebrated this week with a great report, 95.6% overall success rate.

Same day “Attitude Adjutment” released a 110 lbs Sailfish and landed 4 Dorados for Warren Chapman from San Mateo, CA. Laura Jones from Cleveland TX released a 190 lbs Blue marlin aboard the “Andrea” two awesome days for the Akin Party aboard the Andrea.

The Blue marlin was estimated at 360 lbs, anglers were Cassie Rodgers from Tacoma, WA, Cass Andersen from Riverfalls, WI, and Amanda Hirsch from Maplewood, MN.

Our friend Dirk Rachfall shares a few words and great pictures of his trip.

Hi Tracy and Jorge

Thank you again for a wonderful fishing experience.  Pisces always provides us with the greatest service and of course the most successful fishing.  We went out 2 times on La Brisa and brought in a total of 3 Dorado's and 2 striped marlin.  We are thrilled.  While the water was a little rougher than we've had in the past, fishing was just as great.  I've attached some pictures. Thank you again and we look forward to our next visit.

Fishing Update

September 3rd to September 9th, 2011

Overall Catch Success Rate 91%

BILLFISH: Summer is when we see the arrival of big fish in Cabo, generally we start seeing smaller blue marlin show up in August and the larger ones making an appearance in October. The pickings for blues have been slow so far, but this week it seemed like it got on track starting out with a small blue marlin aboard “Attitude Adjustment”, caught by Bruce Mayer from Houston, Texas, off of the Old Lighthouse on a red lure, he also caught a couple of 20 lb dorado. This was followed by a larger fish, estimated at 250 lbs aboard “Tracy Ann”, caught by Robert Pavelka from Atlanta, on a blue and white lure and then went on to catch four tuna and two dorado, all between 20 and 25 lbs, at the Golden Gate. September 7th saw our third blue marlin of the week this time for “Falcon” caught by Blair Mask from Azle Texas, fishing three miles from the Herradura as well as boating three tuna ranging from 10 to 40 lbs. This blue took one of the famous guacamaya lures (orange/green/yellow). One of the most enviable days was that had by Joe Haddad & Oscar Gutierrez aboard “La Brisa” on September 8th, at Golden Gate, releasing a striped marlin, a sailfish and boating nine tuna up to 30 lbs. “El Gallo” also did very well to release two striped marlin and land 10 yellowfin tuna for Michael Johnson from New Orleans, LA and Brennan Warren from Austin, TX. Twenty five percent of our boats caught billfish this week.

This month we are startingto see small blue marlin show up

 
OTHER SPECIES: Tuna catches remain steady in Cabo, with 65% of the fleet catching fish ranging in size from 20 to 45 lbs. The “C-Rod” had the best catch of the week with 17 tunas and a 24 lbs wahoo for Andy Smith from Denver, CO. Dorado catches increased this week with 50% of the boats catching this species; the average catch was three per boat and ranged from 10 to 25 lbs. “Ruthless” caught a very nice 25 lbs Roosterfish for Leo Chairez from San Antonio, TX.

Testimonial from the Daehnke party

Just a quick note to thank all of you at Pisces for our great day fishing on Tuesday, August 30th.  There can be no harder working crew than JR and Luis on REBECCA, who are just incredible.  Ten tuna, five dorado and a released striped marlin made for a special day for me, my wife, son and his girlfriend who was on her first ever fishing trip.  The Pisces experience from booking the trip in your office, to the dock and fishing to dinner at Capt. Tonys (with fresh sashimi) was, as always, first class and is the reason we return year after year.  Attached are some photos.  Once again, thank you so much for such great memories.  Happy Birthday to our pal, Mario!

It's Mario's Birthday

Our beloved dockmaster Mario celebrates a birthday today. His is no easy job, to be up early and as the dock every day making sure the boats have what they are supposed to have, to greet the anglers, take care of paperwork and be there when they get back in the afternoon. He has juggled as many as 100 boats in a day, so he has to know what he is doing. So how does he keep a smile on his face.....well take a look at who he gets to work with... a lot of cool girls as well as the captains and mates. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIO; we are not saying how many it is.
