Fishing Today
We had great fishing today with the production per boat very high. Our total catch for four boats was:
Ten Striped Marlin
Eleven Yellow Fin Tuna
One Dorado
Two Skipjacks.
Boats headed up the Pacific to the Golden Gate and used live mackerel to give them these great catches on marlin. The tuna were 22 miles off the lighthouse and took cedar plugs.
Top boat today was Pisces Adriana, a 28 ft Uniflite for Patrik & Suzanne Hertzman, from Sweden, with four striped marlin released between 100 and 160 lbs.

Latest Trip Advisor Review
Don't take our word for it: Reviewed January 29, 2013 NEW
Booked a full-day charter (6 people) 42 ft Bertram with Pisces sports fishing on 1/22/13. Originally we had made arrangements with Pisces to come to Puerto Los Cabos for a pick-up, since we were staying in the area. The night before we received a call asking us to drive to Cabo San Lucas to pick-up the charter because the fishing was better down on the Pacific Coast- so we did. It turned out to be one of the best fishing adventures that all six of us had been on. Caught 4 Dorado, 1 8ft Marlin, and 14 30lb Tuna all before 10:30 am! Unbelievable! Highly recommend Pisces!

Fish Report (yes it's two days late....sorry)
JANUARY 19TH TO 25TH, 2013
Overall Catch Success Rate for all Species Combined 94%
Numbers at a glance: 74% billfish, 54% tuna, 49%
BILLFISH: This week we saw a definite slowdown on anglers but not on fishing. We had some stupendous catches, headed up by Gibbons Addison from Baton Rouge, Louisiana who had “the best offshore fishing trip I have ever been on”. Gibbons researched the Cabo fleets and decided on Pisces and the “Tracy Ann”, this turned out to be a good decision. He ended up catching and releasing a striped marlin, losing another, catching nine tuna, as well as an unexpected large blue marlin, that was mixed in with the tuna and took him four and a half hours to release – the boat got back well after dark and the big fish was estimated at 500 lbs plus. There were really so many great catches this week – Pisces “La Brisa” released a total of five striped marlin for Brad Aitken and friends from Clinton, Canada at the Golden Gate on the 24th. Next day out, this same boat managed another four striped marlin ranging in size from 100 to 130 lbs for the same anglers. Pisces “Tracy Ann” also had a quadruple marlin day for the Sheltons and Jenkins from Florida, also at the Golden Gate. Pisces Valerie and Shambala did well also, totaling three marlin each this day. Mike and Sue Sturges, first time Cabo anglers from East Hampton, Connecticut had a sailfish and two striped marlin aboard Pisces Adriana. Most of the boats this week headed out for yellowfin tuna, but still managed to find a marlin or two to the south of Cabo 10 to 20 miles out. Later in the week the bite switched to Golden Gate as well as other locations on the Pacific; live mackerel was the best thing to use to get a hook up. Seventy four percent of our boats caught billfish this week consisting of 45 striped marlin, 1 blue marlin and 1 sailfish – all were released.
OTHER SPECIES: For sheer numbers yellow fin tuna was the most numerous species, with a total of 208 caught by our anglers, with catches ranging from four to twenty six fish per boat. Sizes ranged from 15 to 35 lbs with cedar plugs the most popular way to catch them. We had very busy anglers, such as Sadie Whipple from Snoqualmie, Washington who with her party released a striped marlin & boated eight tuna and four dorado aboard Pisces Adriana. Hands down Pisces Tracy Ann was our top boat this week, not only for the huge blue marlin mentioned above but also for tuna. On January 23rd they caught twenty three tuna and released two marlin for Bob Keeney and friends from Michigan, 19 miles out from the lighthouse. The following day they caught twenty six tuna up to 30 lbs for Tim Blackwell from Indiana who with his friends also managed to release a striped marlin. The tuna bit stayed good until the tuna seiners moved into the area and scooped up the large schools which we had been enjoying over the past few weeks. Fifty four percent of boats found the tuna schools generally located 15 to 20 miles out. Dorado catches were not bad with forty nine percent of boats finding fish up to 30 lbs, however, when found catches were usually of one to three fish, though some boats caught up to seven. These were not in any set place but tended to be picked up whilst trolling for marlin. Inshore not a lot happening for us except some fantastic whale watching and the odd needle fish or skipjack. A few small wahoo were also caught this week.
WEATHER CONDITIONS: Don’t want to make you jealous but beautiful. Clear sunny skies, smooth seas. Pacific was like glass on many days.
LOCATION: Pacific, Old Lighthouse to Golden Gate.
AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 74 F
BEST LURES: Live mackerel, cedar plugs, and feathers.

Ouch!
We got this photo from Zach Morrow from Highlands Ranch, Colorado. He fished on Pisces Bill Collector with his friends and they were pleased to have caught 14 tuna and 2 doardo before 11.30 - when this happened.
Zach had nothing but admiration for the crew, in his own words - the dorado had been gaffed and was still attached to the lure, when it thrashed and got off of the gaff "Here it is! The dorado that hooked the poor first mates foot on the bill collector, that guy was very tough!!! As the dorado was still attached to him spinning and flipping that hook kept ripping more meat from his skin... After it was all done he told us we could still keep fishing!!!! What a crew u have!!!"
A painful lesson to learn and we are sure he will be very careful from now on, though he has gaffed and safely boated over a thousand dorado you always have to keep your guard up....accidents can happen.

Here's the Fish Report
JANUARY 12TH TO 18TH, 2012
Overall Catch Success Rate 100%
Numbers at a glance: Marlin 30%, Dorado 33%, Tuna 79%
BILLFISH: Billfish catches were decent this week though not fantastic – well that is with the exception of Pisces Fearless, a 50 ft Viking and our boat of the week. On January 17th Anthony Huray and family from Singapore were on board this vessel and were amazed to catch and release seven striped marlin. This crew found a small school of marlin just past the Old Lighthouse and caught the seven stripers on a combination of ballyhoo and orange colored lures. Other boats did catch the odd marlin here and there as well as yellow fin tuna, but then it was a choice they had to make – head offshore for the almost guaranteed tuna catch, or stick around the lighthouse area for a “maybe” shot at marlin. Nevertheless thirty percent of charters did catch a marlin during their trip, with sizes ranging from 100 to 180 lbs. Another boat that had a busy day was Pisces 31 ft Bertram Rebecca, for Alicia Levy and her family from Sheridan, Wyoming – they fished at San Jaime and at Migrino and released on striped marlin and caught twenty four tuna and two dorado. Pisces anglers caught a total of seventeen striped marlin – all released.
OTHER SPECIES: Yellow fin tuna were by far the most numerous sportfish caught in Cabo this week with almost eighty percent of boats catching between two and thirty six fish in a day ranging in size from 20 to 30 lbs. The majority of the tuna were found 20 to 23 miles out from the Lighthouse and took cedar plugs more than any other lure. Pisces 31 ft Bertram Tracy Ann had a stupendous day for Jeff Lemming from Atlanta, Georgia, on January 16th, who with friends, caught thirty six tuna, of which they released ten, as well as a striped marlin. This same day, Rebecca loaded up with thirty yellow fins for Joe Baily and party, from Andover, Minnesota. Most boats had tuna catches in the double digits leading to a total count of 377 for Pisces boats. Dorado catches were steady with thirty three percent of boats catching from one to six fish – live bait was what worked on this species this week, preferably mackerel. Weights on the dorado were 20 to 35 lbs. Stan Gribble was out on Pisces 48 Cabo Great Escape on January 12th and landed a nice 45 lb wahoo, larger than what we have been seeing lately, as well as capturing two dorado.
LOCATION: Pacific – Los Arcos to San Jaime.
WEATHER: Pretty cold in Cabo this week, partly cloudy and in the 40’s at nighttime. Seas mostly calm.
AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 71-72 F
BEST LURES: Cedar plugs, mackerel, green and orange colored lures.
