Cabo San Lucas - Saltwater Fishing Report

PISCES WEEKLY FISH REPORT NOV 9th to 15th, 2007-11-18 Overall Catch Success Rate 88% BILLFISH: This week Pisces anglers set an all time record for the number of striped marlin caught for our fleet with an impressive 385 fish caught, just three kept. The Finger Bank was a hot area but so was Golden Gate, with many boats not needing to go that far to catch ten or more fish. Some catches were simply spectacular such as 21 striped marlin released by Mark Sydow from San Francisco fishing with buddy Benito Agundez aboard “Libre” on November 11th. Next day out Mark Chiavetta from San Jose, Ca, equaled this number fishing aboard “Bill Collector”. Thirteen year old Thomas Hardy Jr, fished with dad, Tom senior, aboard “Tracy Ann” and were pleased to release 10 marlin as well as boating 4 dorado; they are from Centerville, Maryland. “Valerie” released 18 and had 4 dorado for Tom Atkins, Steve Marcknack and Mark o Banion all from Illnois on November 13th at the Finger bank. This same day “Ni Modo” had 13 marlin and 1 sailfish for a group from Oklahoma, consisting of Rob Coleman, Phil Longan, Kevin Rabor, Jimmy Lane and Barry Eller. Not to be left out “Fearless” released 17 marlin and boated 4 dorado for Ed, Jeannie and Dick Van Hook from Ontario, New York. “Falcon” released 16 marlin at the Golden Gate on November 15th , whilst “Valerie” released 15 and “Rebecca” 13 this same day. It was nice to see a bit more size on the stripers with the average this week around 140 lbs. Bob Turney, fishing with captain Leon Camacho released a large striper, estimated around 200 lbs, the biggest of the week. Eighty eight percent of charters caught marlin, though we did have a few boats “skunked”. OTHER SPECIES: Dorado catches were pretty good with 56% of boats landing fish up to 30 lbs. Most caught one or two fish whilst trolling and less occasionally up to six. Tuna catches were slower at 11%, though some boats, like “Valerie” did really well on football size fish, catching a total of 25 for Tom and Marie Theel from Phoenix fishing with Dan and Denise Miller from Fort Myers, Florida, just half a mile off of Cabeza de Ballena; most catches were of two to four fish. We did see some specimens as large as 79 lbs. We are starting to see quite a lot more roosterfish and this week again several mako sharks to 50 lbs. LOCATION: Golden Gate and Finger Bank for marlin, Cortez side for tuna, both Pacific and Cortez for dorado. WEATHER CONDITIONS: We have always thought November is the best time weather of the year and we are not disappointed, clear, sunny skies, bearable daytime temps and evenings now starting to have a slight chill. Seas mostly calm. AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 79 F BEST LURES: Live bait. Based on the catches of Pisces Fleet by Tracy Ehrenberg
