Archived Fiesta Guided trip reports

Our Oct 26-30,2008 Fiesta Fishing trip just returned. Although a light crew of only 18 Anglers due to the crazy Economy - Fishing was World Class for those who came. Fishing in our Jackpot where 18 anglers on 6 boats fishing Mon & Tuesday with 3 boats fishing Weds, we released 47 Striped Marlin, 3 Sailfish, 46 Dorado, 4 Yellowfin & 2 Rooster Fish. Top boat in the points was the "Dorado IV' with the Hunts & Barnes from Wickenburg AZ hooking 30 Striped Marlin between both days getting 22 to the boat for release with 8 that came unhooked or broke the line. The 2nd highest boat was the Gris Annel with Warner Wells group from LA with 12 Striped Marlin hooked in the 1st day with 9 brought to the boat for release. Top anglers for largest fish where on the "Dorado I" Ryan Doyle from MA with a 35 pound Yellowfin Tuna and the 2nd day Russ Dempster from LA on Gris Annel with a 31 Pound Yellowfin Tuna . Striped Marlin are stacked up out on the Golden Gate Bank right now with schools holding 20-40 Marlin - it is a sight to see & fish - don't miss it! Most all of our our boats have been recently refitted with Turbo Diesels that can make the run to any of the banks quite easily.The Dorado are spread out from the light house on up to Los Arcos. Most Dorado are small 5-8 pounds with an occasional 20-25 pound bull taking a marlin lure or bait. Keep in mind it is important to release the small females so we have good Dorado #'s next year. Tuna are in the area and being caught under the Dolphin schools although many of the schools only produced a few fish then they seem to get lock jaw - but not bad size in the 30 pound class for those getting hooked up. We still have space on our Nov 16-20th trip on sale for only $595 per person - so come & Join us in Cabo Today!
