Cabo Fishing Report for Week of 4-10 October, 2010

Here is this weeks report. Also starting tomorrow is the tournament season. I will keep you updated.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Fishing Report from www.picantesportfishing.com. 11 October 2010.

Cabo fishing is still producing lots of fish. The number of boats going out has dropped dramatically. But that is about to change with the beginning of the fall tournament season. There should be lots of action for the tournament participants. With some large fish being landed, there is always the possibility of record breaking fish.

The fish to beat is still the 993 lb. Blue Marlin caught in 1994 by the 40 ft. Tolleycraft, Picante. It was the Bisbee’s Black and Blue winner and still holds the record as largest fish caught in the tournaments. We have been seeing fish n the 500 lb. plus range, so the big ones are around.

 Speaking of big marlin, on 4 October, the highlight of the week was an estimated 500 lb. Black Marlin that was released by the 31ft. Cabo Express, Picante Expresso with Captain Gilberto “Bori” Castro at the controls.

 The client was Jean Paul Larue from Bonneville, France. He made a long trip to catch that fish and release both the Black marlin and a Striped Marlin. He also boated a nice Wahoo for some culinary delights.

On the 6^th Debra and Rick Carreon got to fight a nice Striped Marlin aboard the 24’ Shamrock Picantito II.

The next big day was the 7^th. Aboard the 40 ft. Tolleycraft, Picante, yep the same yacht that landed the Bisbee’s record marlin, the Lewandowski family with Captain David Lieras, Top Captain in the 2010 IGFA Offshore Championship, released 3 Striped Marlin and a Pacific Sailfish while boating a Dorado for their evening’s repast. Thanks to deckhand Fernando for helping land all those Cabo billfish.

Also on the 7^th, onboard the 35’ Cabo Express, Cisco with Captain Nunez and deckhand Ricardo, put Michael Christe, Adam Hatton and Clancy Cottman onto some nice tuna, one of which weighed in at 187 lbz.

The 9^th saw the 24’ Shamrock, Picantito II released an estimated 250 lb. Blue Marlin along with boating 13 Dorado for the Bardwell party.

The 10^th was the end of the week and the 45’ Cabo Express Picante 45 ended the fishing week by putting Dan Boone and his friends onto 2 Striped Marlin and 4 Dorado. Some good fighting and some good eating!

 

Fleet production for the week was 3 Blue Marlin, 1 Black Marlin, 13 Striped Marlin, 1 Pacific Sailfish, 40 Dorado, 3 Yellowfin Tuna and 2 Wahoo.
