This week saw two Bisbee’s tournaments hit town, with the Los Cabos Offshore, and the world famous Black & Blue. The top team was Quiteña, from Tampico, Tamaulipas on Mexico’s Gulf Coast; angler Julio Fernandez (whom Pisces exclusively interviewed), brought in a 534lbs black marlin on the second day of the tournament. Although we will be covering the tournament story separately in its own article, so that we can focus on the spectacular fishing that yet again has been going on during our regular fishing trips.

This week saw the first big tournament of the season in Cabo San Lucas. The Los Cabos Billfish Tournament, sponsored by the local hotel association, ran from October 11th to the 15th was in its 17th year. And saw John DeDominic as the unofficial winner of the tournament. John landed a beautiful 378lbs black marlin on the second day of the three-day event that put him in the top slot. He told us “we were strictly targeting black marlin, by fishing the shallows. We were all alone on the Cortez side, we don’t like to fish near other boats. It’s said be a hero or zero”. By choosing to fish this way John was definitely the hero of the tournament.

We’re sounding like a broken record, however, that’s a good thing when it comes to our excellent fishing conditions as of late. Especially since tournament season is right upon us. If next week is anything like this one, the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament could see some exciting competition, which runs from the 11th to the 15th of October this year. We saw many, many boats catch multiple marlin and billfish almost everyday this week, far too many to include them all in this report.

We saw some nice catches of billfish this week, with smaller sized blues, striped marlin and sailfish all making an appearance, as well as the odd black marlin. The Pisces Listo, captained by Benito Agundez, caught and released a striped marlin and a sailfish on the 25th. They also landed a wahoo of about 52lbs, for some anglers from Delaware; a very nice day indeed.

For being September there were actually quite a few anglers in town this past week, despite hot and humid weather the fishermen venturing out were pleased with their results. Our catch rate for all species combined was 92% with just a few boats not catching anything. There was a pretty good mix on billfish with blue marlin, striped marlin and a couple of sailfish. The largest fish for us this week was aboard the 38 ft. Blackfin C Rod, a . . .

This week the most abundant species of billfish were striped marlin, with blues coming in second, and a spattering of sailfish throughout. We had an excellent catch success rate, with 96 percent of boats being successful and only two boats getting skunked. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, warm water and clear skies, accompanied by calm seas and plenty of fish.

This week our main story is the passing of Hurricane Newton through the area on Tuesday. With all that being said, it did have an impact on fishing, as the port was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. Resuming on Thursday the 8th, so this week’s fish report will only include five days. And despite all this, the days that we were able to fish, we saw some fabulous fishing.

The numbers are down and we had really few boats out this week. The fishing grounds have also been extremely spread out, it was difficult to find one particular spot that worked well. To make matters more difficult we had rain at the beginning of the week which messes up the water afterwards, with its large amounts of rainwater flowing out to see from previously dry riverbeds. And we also had a full moon, which leads to a lot of the fish feeding at night and not wanting to take lures or bait in the daytime hours.

We saw a definite change in the direction of fishing this week, as the last couple of weeks were mostly focused around the yellowfin tuna and blue marlin action for Pisces Fleet, we saw striped marlin catches increase, as well as sailfish. Fishing grounds were variable throughout with more boats venturing out to the Pacific side. Starting off our week the Pisces Tracy Ann had a spectacular day for a group of anglers from Houston, Texas. Captain Julio Castro put them on three striped marlin (released), two yellowfin tuna, one dorado and four skipjacks.

This week our main event was the near pass by Tropical Storm Javier, that had Cabo’s port closed on Monday the 8th of August. No boats were able to go out that day, and we saw some nice rain. Something that our desert landscape is always thirsty for is a good soaking of rain by a summer storm. Our week started of with a few different boats landing blue marlin and some sailfish. The Pisces Adriana, captained by Nicolas Winkler caught and released a sailfish.
