It Was Like Christmas for the Team on the Rehab

26 Oct 2010 Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Fishing Report the Week of 18-25 October2010 from Picante Sportfishing http://www.picantesportfishing.com

 

Well the Bisbee’s Black and Blue Marlin Tournament, Bisbee’s Los Cabos Offshore Tournament and the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament are all finished. And coming up next week is the November 3-6 is the Los Cabos tuna Jackpot. But we still have some of our regular customer coming down to do some fine Cabo fishing. Besides the tournament Picante has been sending out a few private charters. The numbers for the week don’t reflect the actual fish numbers because the yachts chartered for the tournament were targeting Black and Blue Marlin only. But considering that, the fishing was pretty good. The flags have been flying.

Three of our fleet finished in the top 10. The 40’ Cabo Flybridge, Caliente brought in the first fish and ended up in 10^th place. The KW Karma, a 43’ Cabo Express finished in 5^th place and the Rehab, a 35’ Cabo Express finished up in 1^st Place to the tune of $254,905 for their two Black Marlin with a total of 907 points. It was a great tournament! The first day was especially exciting with an 800 lb. Marlin brought to the scales about 10 minutes past closing. But the two big Black Marlin did the trick.

 

A short recap of the tournament numbers: 103 teams, 628 anglers, 74 Billfish, including 13 Black Marlin, 32 Blue Marlin, 28 Striped Marlin and 1 Sailfish. The overall billfish hook-up conversion rate was 88.10%. Pretty good catching, too.

Yesterday, the Striped Marlin fishing really heated up. Tune in next week to see how hot the fishing has been.
