PISCES WEEKLY FISH REPORT

JUNE 27TH TO JULY 3RD 2001



BILLFISH: Actually a very good week here in Cabo for most anglers, even though there were boats that got “skunked”. There were plenty of marlin, in fact it was common to see over 20 in a day, finding the ones that were hungry was the difficult part and to be honest, luck played a big part. In spite of this we did have some excellent catches: Jose Rebocho & Jose de Polignac, visiting from Portugal, fished “Tracy Ann” and were thrilled to release four striped marlin on, June 27th and actually had a total of seven marlin in three days, on this boat. We also had a group from Nevada, Ron Gasamendi, William Sadoyah and Don Davis, who had a fantastic day aboard La Brisa on June 30th; they had a total of four marlin, one sailfish and one yellowfin tuna and were back before noon! Larry Keppner form Edwardsville, IL, fishing with buddy, Michael Wendling from San Antonio Tx, had an enjoyable three days on Rebecca, doing three, four and one striped marlin, during their trip. Michael Waller from Birmingham, Al and Andy Pieroni from Mableton Ga hooked up to a marlin each at the same time, which called for some skillful boat handling, nevertheless they both successfully released their fish. We are starting to see sailfish in the area now, a sign that blue marlin won’t be far behind – Robert Pullin from Burnett, Tx, along with his family released three sails and had a 130 lb striped marlin on June 30th on Tracy Ann. The average catch was one or two fish per boat throughout the week. There were also several small blues, around the 200 lb mark, but nothing to write home about. We also heard of a 70 lb spearfish, caught mid-week. Pisces anglers had a total of 59 striped marlin this week of which 53 were released, those brought in averaged 130 lbs. We also released 9 sailfish. Our overall catch success rate for all species combined was eighty percent, with seventy-two percent catching billfish.



OTHER SPECIES: Not a whole lot happening offshore, with just a few dorado being picked up whilst trolling for marlin, sizes are good at 30 to 45 lbs. Even fewer yellowfin tuna. Just a couple of wahoo all week. Inshore skipjacks and roosters were fair game. I have heard of several big snook being weighed in over the 40 lb mark also. Pangas are doing well on yellowtail and snappers.



LOCATION: Sea of Cortez, Chileno, RedHill.



WEATHER CONDITIONS: Clear, sunny skies, seas glass-like.



AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 78 F

BEST LURES: Live bait.
