This week was nothing short of a billfish bonanza in Cabo. We saw a huge variety of species released aboard Pisces boats, with a good number of them catching and releasing multiple billfish per trip. We saw boats land mostly striped marlin, followed by blue marlin and sailfish.

Fishing in Cabo has been mostly good this week, although there was a slow down with about half of boats skunked on a few days mid-week. However, when it has been good throughout the rest of the week, we’ve seen boats land a varied array of summer species. We saw another rare Pacific shortbill spearfish this week, so we doubt that anyone is going to continue to believe that they are that rare in our waters. However, we only usually see about 2-3 of these in a whole year usually. We saw quite a few sailfish this week as well, this generally signals that the summer water temperatures have arrived.

July is off with a bang for Pisces Sportfishing, as the summer weather and warming seas have seen the fishing come alive with many species, with a few of them being rarely caught in Cabo. Fishing was in a few different locations this week, from the 95 Spot to San Jaime and the 180 Spot. While inshore fishing produced jack crevalle, roosterfish, white skipjack, ladyfish, triggerfish, sea bass, grouper, and a silky shark that was released.

Fishing this week saw some improvements in the overall numbers, with a majority of boats (69%) landing yellowfin tuna. Most of these fish were in the 10-20 pound range, however we did see the odd larger tuna on some boats. There were also good numbers of striped marlin seen, and fewer inshore fish species as boats focused offshore.

Our week started off with most boats catching fish, and then tapering off until with most boats skunked on the 23rd, unfortunately the same day as the start of the annual Stars and Striped charity tournament. Boats travelled high and low this week in search of fish, with a range of places being productive. We saw the most consistent inshore catches around el Tule on the Corridor, with some of the species seen being: roosterfish, triggerfish, jack crevalle, skipjack, yellowtail, amberjack, pompano, red snapper and green jacks. Offshore fishing was spread out from the Old Lighthouse all the way to Punta Gorda in San Jose and in some cases travelling many miles offshore.

Andrew and Jennifer Stutzman didn’t know what they were in for when they signed up for a trip aboard Tiburon, one of Pisces standard cruisers, a 31 ft Bertram. Andrew a 38-year-old pilot for American Airlines was excited to venture out with his bride for his first ever marlin fishing trip.

Very good fishing this week on all fronts, we saw most of the offshore bite at the 11:50 Spot at the beginning of the week to then spread out a bit. As far as inshore fishing goes, we’ve still been seeing the big rooster action. With the bite being excellent, up and down the coast from Cabo along the corridor, almost to San Jose.

This week it was mostly striped marlin that we saw aboard Pisces boats, with a very good catch success rate of 90% overall. It seems like the marlin bite continued most days out at the 11:50 Spot, with some of the boats landing multiple fish. In the same area were found the odd wahoo and even more rarely this week dorado.

This week was the tale of two bites, the inshore roosterfish bite and the offshore yellowfin tuna bite. Pisces boats focused on the inshore roosters in the first half of the week, landing some very large specimens that were sure to give any angler a thrill as they reached anywhere from 45 up to 60lbs. While we saw the tuna bite get hotter in the second half of the week, with some boats landing fish from football size in large numbers up to a fish in the triple digits.
