PISCES FISH
REPORT
March 11th
to March 17th, 2017
Overall
catch success rate, all species combined: 81%
Numbers at a
glance: Billfish 3%, Tuna 5%, Dorado 2%, other 75%.

We had great
catches this week, with many species of inshore fish in large numbers making an
appearance. This week, the “other” category (75% catch success rate) was
populated with: sierra mackerel, red snapper, sea bass, grouper, pompano,
yellowtail, ladyfish, roosterfish; as well as thresher, hammerhead and mako sharks.
Since most of these aren’t too big, they make the perfect fish for the whole
family to target. We would also note that there have been reports of big wahoo
catches out of San Jose, which perfectly represents our variable fishing as the
seasons change. With that being said, the Pisces Bill Collector managed to
break the pelagic slump this week, landing a 280lbs blue marlin on a petrolero
lure that was released. Captain Juan Carlos put these anglers from Reno, Nevada
on a 20lbs yellowfin tuna, as well as a beautiful 49lbs wahoo; with all of the
fish being landed about 30 miles out at the 160 Spot. We also had two striped
marlin landed (1 released) aboard the Pisces Andrea, captained by Orlando
Murillo. The fish were estimated at around 140lbs, and were caught on macarela
live bait just outside of the 180 Spot for some anglers from Wheatland,
Wyoming.

Another
interesting and large catch this week happened aboard the Pisces C Rod,
captained by Abel Ramirez. They were fishing with a group from Mexico City,
when they set macarela live bait out on the lines. To their surprise a massive
200lbs hammerhead shark took the bait, this monster fish was safely released
unharmed back into the wild. The Pisces Tracy Ann had a nice, although
anomalous day on the 14th. Captain Julio Castro put their anglers from Chico,
California on 23 yellowfin tuna. They were fishing with cedar plugs about 45
miles out of Cabo at the San Jaime Bank.

A
representative day for the smaller game fish that we saw this week is shown
aboard the Pisces Ruthless, on March 13th. They caught three sierra mackerel, a
grouper, a red snapper, 15 triggerfish and a yellowtail, all of this for the
Culbertson family of Arizona. The Pisces Cabolero captained by Hector Anaya put
his anglers from Lake Barrington, Illinoison to two roosterfish of around 20lbs
each. They were caught on macarela live bait out at Migriño on the Pacific
side. While the lone dorado of the week was caught aboard the Pisces Valerie
just off of Destiladers on a kite lure, and it weighed in at around 20lbs.
