Pictured here are Henrik & Jane, who had their trip planned for a long time and they were coming a long way, all the way from Denmark in fact. So they didn't want a hurricane to get in the way of a goal that Henrik had been chasing for over 25 years and that had taken him to such places as Guatemala, Galapagos, New Zealand, Australia and Thailand without success. Despite a difficult journey to get here, on Henrik and Jane's second day of fishing with Pisces, they finally reached the goal that Henrik had dreamed of since he was a boy, to catch a blue marlin. Not only did he catch a blue marlin, but a sailfish too, along with some nice dorado. He was typically Danish stoic as we chatted to him early this morning, but was very happy as he told us that he had read Hemmingway's Old Man and the Sea several times, and hoped he would get another one today...Pisces Sportfishing

The fishing and catching remains excellent, even with the full moon conditions. Captain Roberto Marquez, aboard the "Fish Cabo", reported just outside the Riu Palace, about a half-mile or so offshore, they had a triple jig strike on stripers, landed two and one got away early. Shortly after, they added a dorado to their afternoon catch and returned to the Marina Also, the Gaviota X reported in with a couple of stripers and added dorado to his catch for a single fishing day and the Gaviota IX reported in with a good catch of dorado for their anglers.


Sea Conditions: Very good sea conditions continue on both sides of the peninsula. On the Pacific side, from the Finger Bank, down to Cabo and around the corner to Palmilla Point, water temp is stable at 83, gently rising to 84/85 from San Jose and into the Sea of Cortez. Surface breezes calm to 8 mph and flowing mostly from the easterly directions.

Best Fishing Area: A good billfish bite from Cabo Falso to Santa Maria Bay with the "Fish Cabo" reporting a triple jig strike about a half-mile or so off the beach in the Riu Palace area, just a couple miles from the Marina.

Best Bait/Lure: According to Captain Roberto Marquez, they were using different lures and colors when all three were bit by stripers. One fell off and the other two stayed glued to the lures.

Bait Supply: Very good live bait supply at the $3.00 per bait rate and apparently not affected by the full moon conditions....Larry Edwards, Cortez Charters
