PISCES WEELY FISH REPORT September 7th to September 13th, 2007

OVERALL CATCH SUCCESS RATE 100%

BILLFISH: The incredible striped marlin fishing continues in Cabo giving us one of the highest numbers of billfish caught in one week for the year. Despite being September, traditionally a slow time in Cabo we had a total of 190 billfish this week, consisting of 186 striped marlin; all but one released and 4 sailfish, all released, giving us a billfish catch success rate of 91%. Once again boats concentrated almost exclusively at Golden Gate. Boats caught anywhere from one to ten striped marlin in a day, usually with a dorado or two thrown in too. Pretty much all of the catches this week were outstanding, but to mention a few “Valerie”, skippered by Roberto Sandez, released 10 marlin and boated 4 doardo for Bryan Holland, John Simone, Steve Kinderman and Steve Carlson, hailing from Boca Raton, Lighthouse Point and Delray Beach, Florida, in fact this group, ended up releasing a little over twenty marlin during their Cabo trip. “Ni Modo” with captain Cubi (Jobe’s brother) released 8 stripers and boated a 40 lb dorado on September 10th. Weather was picture perfect as were the seas.

OTHER SPECIES: Dorado catches climbed again this week with 77% of boats catching fish from 15 to 45 lbs. Catches ranged from one to nine fish per day, with the average two to three fish. “Andrea” landed nine for Cory Hickman and Deborah Anderson as well as three marlin, which were released. One of our anglers got a an unexpected catch…..Tom Stein from Peoria, Arizona was aboard the Mextime, they had a marlin strike and the deckhand was reeling in the lures to get them out of the way, however, unbeknown to the people aboard, a wahoo had spotted the fast moving lure and was chasing it. The fish jumped clear into the air after the lure, grazing the cheek of Tom, as he flashed by, before ending up in the cabin of the boat, where he was quickly dispatched before damaging the boat. Tom’s friend went home with him in an ice chest. Besides this wahoo only one other was caught and tuna catches were very slow with just five fish caught for our fleet.

LOCATION: Golden Gate, San Jaime…when people got tired of marlin they went to the 95 to pick up a dorado or two and try for blues.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: Skies partly cloudy, cooler than normal for September, seas calm. BEST LURES: Live bait. Based on the catches of Pisces by Tracy Ehrenberg.
