Latest Fish Report

July 1st to 7th, 2010

Overall Catch Success Rate 91%

BILLFISH: The weather has really started to heat up here in Cabo; still it is nowhere near as hot as it should be at least not on the Pacific side. The Sea of Cortez though, is another question, where it has been in the 90’s and is also where most of the fish are being caught. It seems like the marlin bite has finally stabilized and this week, striped marlin were the number one catch in Cabo. As we close this report, blue marlin are showing up, with “Valerie” getting one close to 300 lbs and “La Brisa” releasing another. “Falcon” had a great, varied day at the start of the week, with a striped marlin released, a 40 lb wahoo landed and six tuna boated for Jim Corocoran & Ann Frisnguer from Madison, Wisconsin at the 11.50 spot. On July 4th “Tracy Ann” fished just four miles out from Cabo Del Sol and managed to release four striped marlin, all on live caballito for Shellly, Scott & Jeffery Davinos from Boship Ridge, New Jersey. A couple of days later, “Andrea” matched this catch, also releasing four marlin and boating three tuna, just out from the 11.50 spot for British angler David Brown, from Barnsley. Seventy percent of boats caught marlin and catches were common of one or two fish plus some small game. Pisces anglers caught a total of thirty seven striped marlin with all but two released, plus two blues released.

OTHER SPECIES: After marlin, yellow fin tuna were the most likely catch, with thirty five percent of boats catching between one and seven fish. Most were football size between 12 and 25 lbs, with cedar plugs being the most effective lure. Dorado catches were at eighteen percent with catches of between one and five fish, when found. “C Rod” did very well on July 2nd, when they caught five dorado as well as releasing two striped marlin, just three miles from Cabeza de Ballena for Mark Walsh and Michael Gilmour from Mosmar Park, Washington. The odd wahoo here and there up to 45 lbs. Boats fishing inshore encountered sierra in good numbers, some roosterfish, jack crevalle and skipjacks.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: The strong winds have started to die on the Pacific meaning boats can finally fish there again, but many are not bothering as it has been great on the Cortez side between Cabeza de Ballena and Redhill. Seas calm on the Sea of Cortez but with a big swell early in the report.

LOCATION: Cabo Del Sol, 11.50 spot, Cabeza de Ballena,…..Tracy Ann released a striped marlin just 500 meters from shore here, Chileno, Red Hill.

AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 82 F

BEST LURES: Live caballito or mullet for marlin (mackerel was scarce), cedar plugs, hoochis, petrolero, red/black.

He loves fishing so much, that he gave up his regular job to work in a tackle shop (the largest in Europe) in Scotland….just so he can talk to people about fishing and be around all the fishing gear.

Latest Fish Report

June 18th to July 1st, 2010

Overall Catch Success Rate 81%

BILLFISH: This period we saw the billfish catches begin to stabilize and become more consistent, even with a full moon, there were marlin catches pretty much every day, making stripers the number one catch this report. Top boat was “C Rod” with five released during the Stars and Stripes Tournament for Charles Rasmussen from Valencia, Ca. on June 25th. “Falcon” had one of the first sailfish of the season as well as a striped marlin on June 24th, at the 11.50 spot for Joseph Chiramonte and friends from Los Gatos, Ca. “El Gallo” had a really big striped marlin which the captain reported at 210 lbs as well as a smaller 100 lb fish, both released in front of Pedregal by Robert Phillips from Homosassa, Florida on June 19th. There were several boats with double marlin days such as “Rebecca”, “Tracy Ann” and “Ruthless” which was great to see, catches getting consistent ; but some of the most active days were had by boats that got a marlin then small game, such as Gary George from Wakeforest, North Carolina….(hey, there is a new direct flight from Charlotte N.C to Cabo....) fishing with Jason…they were out on “Andrea” and caught one striped marlin and twenty yellow fin tuna and then went on to get a couple of dorado. Fifty percent of boats this week were fortunate to hook striped marlin, so that’s a big improvement but there is a lot more action to come. Pisces anglers caught a total of 46 striped marlin and 1 sailfish this week, all released, except one 180 lb striper kept.

OTHER SPECIES: Tuna catches were pretty good this week, though less boats found them, when you got to the right spot, catches ranged from one to twenty five fish, in the football size, so for sheer number more tuna were caught than anything else, giving us a total of 169 and a half fish – the half a fish was aboard “Ruthless”, when Gerald and Jane Smith were aboard; one of their fish was severed by a shark as they were reeling it in, leaving them with just a head on the end of the line. Again we had some nice catches on wahoo this week, with Great Escape Jr. catching two 40 and 50 lbs and C Rod also catching two around the same size, plus releasing a striped marlin on June 26th. Forty percent of boats caught yellow fin tuna. Dorado catches were slower with just seventeen percent of boats catching one or two fish in the 15 to 30 lb class. “Ruthless” released a hammerhead shark as well as a striped marlin at the 11.50 spot for Clark Weiss from Houston, Texas. Some roosterfish, jack crevalles , sierra, bonita and red snapper were also caught in lesser numbers.

LOCATION: 11.50 spot, Cabrillo, 95 spot, Chileno, 4 miles off of Old Lighthouse, Punta Gorda.

WEATHER: It’s almost like living in two countries. The Pacific is cold, windy and foggy the Sea of Cortez is smooth and hot.

AVERGE WATER TEMP: 82 F

BEST LURES: Live caballito, live mackerel, cedar plugs, tiger colored lures, feathers, blue/white, petrolero.

It seems that Father’s and Son’s never grow tired of fishing together, there is nothing like being able to spend time together out on water, catching up and getting in some quality time and it’s even better when you are pulling in the fish…… Adolfo and Steven Rivera from Austin, Texas released one striped marlin and hauled in eleven tuna aboard “Rebecca”.

Second day fishing for the Weiss Family, from Houston, Texas.
