Another good week of fishing in Cabo with Billfish catches still as the most productive. We had 51 Billfish caught and released this week total, with top boats landing between 4 and 6 Marlin each. Pisces 42’ Sea Senora was our Top Marlin boat this week with 7 Released total. Pisces 46’ La Chingona also did very well with 6 Striped Marlin released in one day. Also, another fantastic Swordfish catch for our good friend Roger Lewis aboard the “Cloud Nine” (not a Pisces vessel), who weighed a 200 pounder caught on March 31st. Roger had this fish on his bucket list since 1978 and finally landed it aboard his son’s vessel! Inshore and bottom fishing catches continue to be good – Pisces 28’ Andrea did well with Billfish and inshore for all species, with one of the biggest Snappers caught too, a 40 pounder for father and daughter anglers Hannah and Larry Simmons. Other species caught include Sierra Mackerel, Bonita, Sheepshead, Ladyfish, Grouper, Triggerfish, etc.
