Bisbee Black and Blue awards its 20th OVER A MILLION DOLLAR CHECK

This year’s Bisbees was a historical one any way you put it. Not only was it the largest pot of monies ever, 9.8 Million Dollars total (more than doubling last year’s pot of $4 Million). But it was also a historical day for Pisces, as it is the 1st time we have won 1st Place in the Black & Blue Tournament (well there was one other time when 28′ Karina placed and then…. well that’s a different story).

Not only this, but we were pleased to see another local charter boat take 2nd place, and that both winning teams were outfitted by local Captains and Mates.

Whatta Croc?

Epic 1st Day of the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament! Very happy to see two of our Pisces Vessels winning in the Wahoo and Tuna Divisions and having an All Cabo Local Winners circle!! 1st Place Billfish For Day 1 went to Sneak Attack with a 554lbs Black Marlin caught by Angler Steven Perry under Captain Vicente Bojorquez. 2nd Place For Day 1 went to Team Hooray with a 343 Lbs Black Marlin caught by Angler Eric Dunn and Captain Pancho Bojorquez. Pisces 35’ Bill Collector 2 took Day One Wahoo with a 38.9 Lbs for our Wahoo King Captain Gil Castro and angler Scott Kindseth. Pisces 32’ Bill Collector had the only Tuna weighed of the tourney by angler Mitch M , Captained by Juan Lopez. 28 pounds was all they needed to take 1st Place. Boat El Torito took the Dorado Division with a 37 pounder. Unfortunately because of storm approaching Cabo tomorrow’s fishing is postponed and we will see if fishing resumes for Thursday.

Triple Digit Dorado

FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE DORADO caught in this last week for the fleet! Top boats, like Pisces 42′ Sea Señora had 28 dorado were caught in one day, plus marlin were released and Pisces 45′ Chasin Tail, for example, had 24 dorado, marlin, and sailfish released too. We are proud to respect catch limits and sizes on all these mahi-mahi, keeping only what we must, releasing well over 300 of these fish, and releasing all billfish caught this week too. We also had a few nice-grade tuna of around 70- to 80-pounds, and we even released blue marlin. For those preferring to remain closer to shore, bonito, sierra, jack crevalle, and a few roosterfish provide surface action.

Wahoo! Fall Arrives

Pisces 35′ Valerie with Captain Roberto Sandez, aka “El Jefe,” were killing it this week. This boat had a 100% Catch Success Rate in five days of fishing. They had five billfish released, including a 250-pound blue marlin, a striped marlin, and a sailfish. Plus, 14 dorado, 25 yellowfin tuna (20 to 60-pounds each), and this nice wahoo yesterday. No wonder El Jefe is considered one of the “best in the business” and has been a Captain with Pisces for 33 years.
