PISCES WEEKLY FISH REPORT
JUNE 20TH TO 26TH 2001
BILLFISH: After such a spectacular week last report, we were kind of surprised that the fishing didn’t remain steady. Striped marlin are still here in force, but getting them to bite was not an easy matter these past few days. Most boats got one or two stripers and occasionally the exception of three, such as those caught by Robert Furlough from Humble, Tx, fishing with Jackie Myers from Baytown Tx, aboard “Karina” on June 21st. Another three-fish-day was experienced by the Lake family from DeBeque Co. fishing on “Adriana” on June 23rd. Catch of the week has to go to eleven year old Paul VanMiddlesworth from Austin, Tx. for a blue marlin -that would have been released, if it had not died – weighing in at 250 lbs and taking 2 ½ hours to bring aboard, after taking a black and red Zuker lure, aboard “Rebecca”. There was a smattering of blue marlin for the Cabo fleet as a whole this period, with several fish reported between 200-270 lbs, so it appears that the blues are right on schedule and should increase in both size and numbers as we move into summer. Fish are pretty close right now off of San Jose, Red Hill and Palmilla and boats are seeing lots in any given day, but as mentioned above, a fair percent are not hungry and have shown little interest in the bait offered. Around sixty-two percent of boats successfully fought marlin this week and our overall catch success rate was eight-two percent for all species combined. Pisces anglers caught a total of 39 striped marlin this week or which 35 were released. Those brought in weighed from 130 to 150 lbs. We also heard of a swordfish being released by Hugh Foster but have not been able to verify details.
OTHER SPECIES: Not a whole lot happening on smaller game, but we did have several nice dorado spread throughout the week from 35 to 50 lbs. Just a few small tuna, small at 15 lbs. Andy Ginsberg from Riverside Ct. was fortunate to boat a 90 lb wahoo on June 23rd aboard “Tracy Ann”. This same day a 50 lb ‘er was also taken by Edward Budney, who also released a striped marlin this same day, from Anburn, Ca. aboard “Karina”. A local fisherman, not knowing what he had, told me he caught a 60 lb snook, last week, surpassing the all tackle world record, without anyone noticing, but making a feast at the dinner table. Inshore, fair size roosters, sierra and some yellowtail.
LOCATION: San Jose, Redhill, Palmilla, Chileno.
WEATHER CONDITIONS: Summer like conditions are upon us, barely a breath of wind, clear sunny skies and flat seas.
AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 75 F
BEST LURES: Live bait.
