PISCES WEEKLY FISH REPORT AUGUST 17TH to AUGUST 23RD, 2007 OVERALL SUCCESS RATE: 100% BILLFISH: This past week was awesome, with a total of 220 billfish caught, and 216 released, all this despite the port being closed on Sunday the 19th. If it had been over then we would have had another 20-25 fish to add to this number. Even though the weather was rather cloudy most of the week and winds on the strong side, we had some really impressive catches, such as those aboard C Rod the 17th, 9 striped marlin were released for Richard Desmarteau from Pedria, AZ, whilst the Ni Modo, released 8 striped marlin and landed 4 Dorados for Neil Stogdill from Texas, fishing with brother Chris from New York,Gina Serban from Rumania and Grant Jensen from Fargo, ND. This same day, the newest addition to the fleet, a 29ft Blackfin, “Bandito”, released 5 striped marlin and 1 pacific sailfish for Rene Garcia and Jeff Hannes from Texas. Andrea released 7 stripers for Rob Hayashi and Eric Garcia from Carlsbad, CA. Adriana and Rebecca released 6 striped marlin each too.

Not to be left out, Sr. Moment also released 6 stripers for Denny & Karen Chastain, Mike Daniel and Allison Benish from Texas…..it was a great week for the Texans. Catch of the week though goes to Ni Modo, for releasing 11 striped marlin for the Cortez Family from Diamond CA, on the 21st and 9 striped marlins for David Farely’s party on the 23rd. OTHER SPECIES: Small game was a bit slower than last week, from 86% we dropped down to 78%, and only 8 boats came back with tuna. We had a few Wahoos, red snapper and mako sharks.Inshore was mostly dorado and red snapper. This is not to say that smaller game was not around, but with the marlin fishing being so good, most boats preferred to concentrate on big game species. WATER TEMPERATURE: 78F LOCATION: Golden Gate and Jaime Banks. BEST LURES: Live Bait
