8 Boats Fishing Today

Joey and his wife Ashley from New Iberia, Louisiana went out on our 32’ partner boat for the first for three days fishing. Captain Federico took the couple fishing at Los Arcos as well as the Lighthouse on the Pacific side, two miles from shore. Joey caught and released a hundred and twenty pound Striped Marlin using living bait. Ashley caught the second largest of 9 Dorado, weighing thirty pounds. Joey caught the fifty pound bull Dorado. They were trying to bait another Marlin when the bull came in and ate the bait. Two of the smaller Dorado’s were released and the rest were donated to the crew.

Gerald, Todd, Patty and Margaret from Corona, California went out on our 28’ ReelRum with Captain Americo. They had been to Cabo before but had only fished on Pangas in San Jose and decided to give deep sea fishing a try. Patty caught and released her first Striped Marlin ever using live bait and weighing a hundred and forty five pounds. Todd used live bait to catch and release a hundred and fifty pound Sailfish. They all shared in the catching of 21 Dorado weighing in between fifteen and thirty pounds, 10 of which were released. They had a double hook-up a few times during the Dorado fights. The group fished twenty miles out on the Pacific side just a mile from shore.

Marc and friends from Louisiana went out on our 33’ El Nuevo with Captain Alex and Mate Ramon. They fished Los Arcos and the Lighthouse, three miles from shore where water temperature reached eighty six degrees and caught 11 twenty to thirty five pound Dorado.

Report given by the Louisiana West Bank chapter guys themselves:
“At the first annual Rooster Convention whose motto is ‘Proud Old Cocks’, a good time was had by all. Standing an hour long catch, a record trophy Striped Marlin was tagged and released by Brian, with many large Dorado’s caught by Ben, Pat, Greg and Bubba. Johnny stole the show with a battle of an 800lbs Otto”. They fished the Lighthouse on the Pacific side a mile and a half from shore where water temperature was at eighty four degrees. A hundred and sixty pound Striped Marlin was caught and released using live bait and 6 thirty to forty pound Dorado were caught as well.

Aubry and friend went out on our 32’ RedBeam with Captain Marcial and Mate Fabian. They fished the lighthouse less than a mile from the shore and caught and released a hundred and eighty pound Marlin, lost another and caught 2 fifteen to twenty pound Dorado.

Joe and Lu form Texas went out for the third time this week, this time on a 28’ partner boat. Lu caught and released a hundred and thirty pound Striped Marlin and Joe caught a thirty pound Dorado on the Pacific side, fourteen miles out.

Jonathan and Lori from Louisiana went out on one of our partner Panga boats with Captain Carlos and caught 14 twenty five to thirty Dorado. Jonathan also caught a fifteen pound Wahoo using live bait. The fishing took place by the lighthouse a half a mile from the shore. Their friends Mike and Genee went out on another Panga with Captain Juan and caught 14 fifteen to twenty pound Dorado, releasing 8 of them.
