Another Big Tuna

We were all thrilled when La Brisa got a 200 lb tuna for a lady angler a few days ago, but it seems the big boys are in town. We heard of a 300 lb plus tuna being taken aboard a commercial panga on 500 lb test line last week. Not to be outdone, Great Escape Jr. did very well to capture this 254 lb'er for Dominik Green from Chicago on September 27th. It's no easy feat to bring in a fish of this size and cost him a lot of sweat and blisters...he did get an ice cold beer as a reward though. All this bodes well for this years Tuna Tournament scheduled for early November.

Big Wahoo

It's been awhile since we have had any wahoo of any size but Paul Paulson, from Gary, Indiana, pulled in this beauty aboard Rebecca on September 27th. The fish was 60 lbs and took a petrolero lure by Gaspareño on the Pacific.

A Fish Twice Her Size
Heather DeRamus from Richmond, Texas fished with her girlfriends aboard "La Brisa" on September 23rd and despite being pretty small, at just over 100 lbs, she determindely pulled in this massive 200 lb tuna, in the hot September sun, taking three hours to bring to the boat on 80 lb test. The fish took a green and black lure at the Jaime Bank on 80 lb test. Heather is pictured here with Captain Nicolas Winkler (right) and deckhand Salvador Flores (left) and below with her friends. Congratulations on having a lot of steaks to take home.

Pimp My Ride Does Cabo

This past Saturday Alvin Joiner, better known as Xzibit the rapper, actor, singer and T.V host from the MTV hit show Pimp My Ride, was here celebrating his birthday and went out fishing on our 70 ft Hatteras "Salsa" he had a great time releasing a large striped marlin. He is pictured here with our very own dockmaster Oscar Bañaga on the right....who was very impressed by the down to earth attitude and friendliness of this guy. All the best people fish with Pisces.

What Colors

Pictured here is Wayne Stout from Graham, Washington. He fished with us in August aboard Andrea and is shown here with deckhand Abrahan Castro on the right (son of Captain Julio Castro of the Tracy Ann).What impressed about these photos was the colors, the blue of the ocean, the brilliant colors of the dorado and the contrasting skin colors of angler and deckhand.

It's Not Just About the Fishing

Here at Pisces we pride ourselves on not just having great crews and boats, but on building relationships. Pictured here is Mike Vise from Sacramento, California. He fished with us recently over labor day and did very well catching, dorado, tuna and marlin. He is pictured here at our boatyard with some of the crews eating "carnitas" with them....he should be pretty easy to spot...look for the least tanned guy. So you see not just a client but a friend also.

One of the things I love about Cabo

One of the things I love about living in Cabo are the spectacular sunrises. Due to the unique location of where I live, Cabo Falso, which is actually the most southern part of the Baja (not the arch) we get to see both sunrise and sunset as well as moonrise and set too. We even see the Southern Cross, which is a point I hotly dispute with guests to my home as the don't think it is possible seeing as we are in the northern hemisphere. Pictured here is a beautiful sunrise taken a couple of days ago as viewed from my patio..tough job, but somebody has to do it.

Our friend Jay Abelson shares some pictures with us

Hi Jorge

I thought you guys might be interested in seeing some fishing shots from New Zealand so I've attached a few of us and our mates.

We're really looking forward to our day out with you guys - see you in a week!

Cheers
Jay

Just Another Day on the Job

It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. Pictured here are Captain Enrique Martinez on the right and deckhand Beto Lira on the left, aboard our 28 ft Adriana. Beto is usually the deckhand on Ruthless but joined Enrique this day...photo was snapped by Mike Vise. This is their office....what does yours look like? Enrique has been fishing these waters for almost 40 years, so I guess you could say he has quite a bit of experience. Beto has a very pleasant personality and since joining the Ruthless the catch rates of his boat have soared. Our catch success rates for the month of August were very high at 97% for all species combined.

Wow The Landscape has Changed

Hurricane Jimena did leave one good thing and that was some rain. Though people in the north of the state are still suffering the after effects, Cabo is enjoying a transformation of the landscape. In less than one week the desert has bloomed, now clothed with marvellous greenery. There is a coolness in the early morning and late evening that is very welcome. Tournament season begins next month and crews are eager for the competition.
