The first week of the New Year began with calm seas. The boats in the Pisces Fleet returned from the fishing grounds with their numerous multi-colored fish flags flapping from out-riggers, displaying their billfish releases and many dorado and yellowfin tuna catches, creating a colorful sight.
Throughout the week, the Pisces crews led their clients to the action-packed sport fishing that has made Cabo San Lucas famous. Below is a partial list of the names of the fleet and their successes during the end of 2023 and the first week of 2024:
Andrea, 28-ft. Uniflite – three striped marlin and three dorado for Brittany Vezendy, Ellen Vezendy, Richard Vezendy, and Stephen Vezendy from Boerne, Texas.

Bill Collector, 35 Cabo Fly Bridge, 25 Striped marlin, for Chelsea Brandimarte, Mr. Nathan Brandimarte from Beaumont Texas US.

Tiburon, 31ft Bertram, Captain Rosendo Gomez, and Mate, Carlos Santos knew exactly where to go to provide the Carr family from Houston Texas a fishing trip to remember. First, they took them to the striped marlin feeding area. By mid-morning, they had caught and released two estimated to weigh 80-100 pounds. Next, they ran to another area where the dorado had been lurking recently. Their move paid off in spades! A little chum and the brightly golden-colored hungry dorado churning the water chasing bait. For the next hour or so it was chaos as the family all hooked the hungry dorado. By the time they headed back, they had released some and kept 10 fish.
