This week saw almost exclusive catches in the other category, with the main gamefish being caught by our boats in the fleet being: sierra mackerel, grouper, yellowtail, red snapper, roosterfish and amberjack. Boats remained for the most part on the Pacific side and used macarela (mackerel) for live bait, or it was cut up as bait and sunk to the bottom to coax out the groupers and other deeper water inshore fishes. Two boats this week landed marlin, one of them having gone out to the Finger Bank, while the other was lucky enough to find a marlin near the Old Lighthouse at Cabo Falso.

This week saw boats landing fish in the other category mostly, and we saw a return of some billfish catches. Those mostly revolved around clients that were willing to pay extra money for fuel to go to the Finger Bank, were they got into some marlin action. Most of the fish landed this week were in the inshore category, the most common being ladyfish, skipjack, yellowtail, sierra, roosterfish, jack crevalle, red snapper, grouper, amberjack as well as the odd shark. This week top marlin catches went to the Pisces Tracy Ann

This week saw mostly small to medium tuna action as well as a varied inshore bite, many boats landed about 10-20 tuna per boat per day. Species ranged from amberjack, grouper, ladyfish, red snapper to yellowtail and a few others. While 73% of boats that went out landed fish, we did have a non-existent billfish bite, with some boats traveling further out to go after possible larger tuna and billfish being unsuccessful. Most captains opted for going after our smaller and less well-known inshore gamefish, adding a touch of color and curious looking critters

This week boats mostly caught yellowfin tuna again, although there were a few more marlin and dorado than last week. As far as inshore species that mostly make up the “other” category, we had catches of skipjack, jack crevalle, yellowtail and roosterfish. With most fishing being done on the Pacific side, with some at San Jaime and Golden Gate, while inshore boats were fishing nearer to Migriño.

This week fishing remained mostly on the Pacific side around the San Jaime bank and the Golden Gate spot. Most boats saw yellowfin tuna catches in the double digits, with some even up to 50-60 yellowfin’s per boat (with the smallest released). The tuna caught this week ranged from 10 to up to 30 pounds each. While marlin and dorado catches were much slower, there were numerous inshore game fish species caught; from roosterfish, to sierra mackerel, skipjack and yellowtail.

This week saw a nearly perfect catch success rate for all Pisces boats; this was definitely the week of yellowfin tuna catches. With 91% of boats that went out fishing the Pacific side and catching large numbers of football-sized tunas, sometimes Pisces boats were catching tuna into the triple digits (although with most being so small, the majority is released. Dorado and billfish species were almost a blip on the radar with very few of these being landed, it seems like the Finger Bank may be slowing down after weeks of crazy productivity. Smaller game and inshore fish remained the main attraction after tuna, with anglers seeing action from skipjack, grouper, ladyfish, yellowtail, roosterfish and sierra mackerel.

We had less boats go out this week than last, and fishing was hit or miss depending on the day. Yellowfin tuna was our top catch this week with 67% of Pisces boats bringing in tuna in the 15-30 pound range. Fishing remained on the Pacific side over a large swath of fishing spots; each of them producing their own different catches. Inshore fishing continues to be productive and fun with roosterfish, jack crevalle, red snapper, sierra mackerel, skipjack and other species being landed. The most prolific boat this week was the Pisces Rebecca captained by JR Alucano headed out to the Finger Bank near Todos Santos on the 25th & 26th with a group of anglers from Millbrook, New York. On the first day they caught and released. . .

There were far fewer boats trips out this week than last, and the catch success rate was at 85% of all boats. There were varied catches throughout the week, although it was mainly a small yellowfin tuna kind of week, with 43% of boats landing them. Smaller game fish associated with inshore fishing were very common this week, lending itself to a great variety of fish species being seen by our anglers this week. There was much of the extremely good eating sierra Spanish mackerel

We saw an excellent catch success rate this week, with most of the boats that went out catching some fish. Overall it was smaller game this week, as our other category hits 35% of total catches. Pisces boats saw a varied basket of good eating smaller game fish; many boats are catching sierra mackerel, grouper, sea bass, red snapper, etc. The most landed species this week is yellowfin tuna, with 63% of Pisces boats landing them, most of the tuna landed this week were on the smaller side, although that wasn’t the whole picture, as we did have some impressive large tuna caught on two boats.

The New Year started this week, and fishing was hit or miss depending on the day (crews had January 1st off), but even with that we saw 84% of all trips land fish. Although last week we saw many large tuna landed throughout Cabo, this week most of the yellowfins were in the football tuna range. The Finger Bank remains productive for those willing to spend the extra money on fuel. Top boat of the week was definitely the Pisces Valerie, captain Roberto Sandez who put the Dow’s from Greenbrae, California on seven striped marlin on both the 4th and 5th of January.
