Pisces Fish Report June 21 to 27th

Striped Marlin released on Pisces 45' Chasin' Tail, 1 of 4 this day


Overall Catch Success rate: 100% Billfish 42%, Tuna 34%, Other 42%


Only 12 boats out this week, but still, fish for everyone, with 100% catch success rate. Marlin picked up heading into the weekend last week, and then slowed, only to be back again this weekend. Top Marlin Release boat this week, Pisces 35’ Bill Collector 2, went 5 for 7 on Striped Marlin released in one day. They also targeted Yellowfin, which are finally showing up, and landed 7 of them total. Other boats fishing the area nearby to 35’ Bill Collector 2 this same day also did well with Marlin. For example, Captain Ty Valli of the 64’ Chupacabra reported 17 for 26 on Striped Marlin released hitting on ballyhoo; and the custom built 77’ Merrit, Artemis, which just arrived in Cabo, went 16 for 23 released. Pisces 45' Chasin' Tail 2 landed 17 Yellowfin and released 4 Striped Marlin this Saturday as well. Most tuna averaged 10 to 35 lbs. In our “Other” category, we have some BIG Roosterfish (around 40 lbs) taking the cake once again this week, with a few Sierra Mackerel and Yellowtail sprinkled in too. Plus, we got news of an approx 300 lbs Grouper caught by commercial fishermen out of Punta Lobos, Todos Santos.

June 22nd started off our week with Pisces 31’ Rebecca going 3 for 5 on Striped Marlin released for anglers George and Ryan Hurley and Nathaniel Mullen. They headed out close to the 11:50 Spot and used caballito bait to land the fish, which were between 80 and 1220 lbs.

And again this week, the new Viking made vessel in the fleet, Pisces 45' Chasin' Tail 2 with Captain Pepe de la Pena (Captain on 40’ Chasin Tail as well), caught and released a nice Roosterfish, estimated at 40 lbs. The roosters were quite tough to land this day, they went 1 for 5, but one was enough! They took caballito bait and mullet (lisa) close to the old Lighthouse.
