\"pisces1142016\"<\/a>BILLFISH:<\/strong> Marlin have been conspicuously absent from Cabo the past couple of months with just a few caught each week and though many more were sighted, getting them on a hook was a real challenge. Nevertheless towards the end of this report we began to see more of them and more anglers were rewarded with hooks ups and some even had multiple marlin days. It looks like things are about to change!\u00a0 Pisces Bill <\/em>Collector had an outstanding day for Todd Huerkamp and Laney Dobbs from Texas, fishing of Punta Gorda, where they manage to release THREE striped marlin on live bait, in the 100 to 130 LB class. \u00a0Yahoo <\/em>had given up on the day and was heading back in when they were able to hook two striped marlin just three miles off of Lands\u2019 End for Scott and Jim from Chicago. Andrea <\/em>was the only other boat to have more than one marlin in a day, with a double header for Dane & Blake Wilson from Montana. Our boats caught a total of twenty six marlin this week, with many others spotted but not tempted.\u00a0 However, Pisces anglers caught plenty of fish this report easily adding up to over 1000 fish, between all the different smaller species. In a way it\u2019s been good that the marlin have been slow, as captains have been forced to try new techniques and fish for other species, developing skills that may have rusted a bit when the marlin is so plentiful. Some of the best catches were the mixed bag days that was perfect for families fishing over Easter as everybody on board got to catch something. A group visiting from New Jersey, fishing aboard Bill Collector <\/em>and managed to release a striped marlin as well as a 150 LB pilot shark for the group headed up by Don Michael. Lake Schiefelbein and family had a great time on Ruthless<\/em> released a striped marlin at Migrino then caught eight groupers, six ladyfish and a yellow tail. The Staver family from Chicago must have been tired after their outing on Valerie<\/em> with a 160 LB striped marlin released as well as twenty one triggerfish, two groupers and a roosterfish to boot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

OTHER SPECIES: <\/strong>Eighty percent of our charters caught small game fish this week, though a few boats did get \u201cskunked\u201d, mainly those that opted for a half day. Those that took the full day had a bonanza on triggerfish \u2013 fun on ultra-light tackle- roosterfish, snappers, lady fish, Barbosas (slimeys), jack crevalle, sheephead, skipjacks, jack crevalle, sierra and various types and sizes of grouper. One of our pangas released a 150 LB hammerhead shark for Tom Kledzinski from Chicago, who also caught three skipjacks. Twenty eight foot Andrea <\/em>had a busy day with anglers from Reno, Nevada on board, with a pilot shark released, fifteen ladyfish, three babosas and a grouper. Pisces Tiburon<\/em> (which means shark) aptly released a large hammerhead shark for Mark Shmiedl from Ohio as well as good numbers of trigger and lady fish. The Saline\u2019s and Bienkowskis from California fished together on Andrea<\/em> and released a 100 LB thresher shark, eleven ladyfish, a grouper, yellowtail, ten triggerfish and two babosas. Tracy Ann<\/em> had a nice day catching eight groupers, two of the unusual and beautiful sheephead, plus trigger and ladyfish. Yellowfin tuna catches were slow with just five percent of boats finding\u00a0 this species.\u00a0 Bill Collector <\/em>was able to catch fourteen up to 25 LBs at San Jaime for Sam Sheriden and friends from Canada. The Richter party from Fayetteville, North Carolina were out with the crew on Knot Workin\u2019<\/em> who are tuna aficionados \u2013 they got the anglers into the tuna and managed to land eight up to 40 LBS. Pisces Adriana<\/em> caught a really nice 56 LB grouper for the Stephenson\u2019s from Colorado who also caught another grouper, two sheephead, three red snapper, eight ladyfish and a couple of triggerfish.<\/p>\n
