Marlin, Cabo, Fishing Charters, Tuna, Dorado, Los Cabos Sportfishing

Tracey and Company,

as usual our annual fishing trip with ya'll was a tremendous success. On 11-8-09 aboard the Ruthless with Captain Leon and Beto we caught 8 Dorados, 1 Striped Marlin (caught by my brother-in-law Pat Collins his first Marlin about 180 lbs.)and a 50lb Wahoo (my personal best) on 11-10-09 aboard the Adrianna with Captain Enrique and Fernando we asked for a shot at some Rooster fish after 30 minutes that request was satisfied and we went on to catch many Dorados and my 9th Striped Marlin on your fleet. Once again thank the Captains and crews for a great time and we will be back next year.

Dear Pisces,

It's been almost a month since our and we are still eating tuna and Mahi Mahi. I just wanted to thank everyone there at Pisces for our amazing trip, especially Julio and Martin. My Father and I fished for 4 amazing days. The first day was a bit rough out on the Pacific and we didn't have much luck til the afternoon when we caught a Striped Marlin and a Dorado. Our second day was amazing we headed into the Sea of Cortez and before 9 am we had a Wahoo and six Dorado in the boat. We went out further when we caught a 325lb Blue Marlin!!! It took me almost two hours to bring into the boat. This was the experience I had always waited for deep sea fishing. Our third day we went looking for Tuna but only found a couple Dorado and a 200 plus pound Blue Marlin. The crew felt is was a slow day, but I think any day you land a 200lb Blue Marlin is a great day. Our last day we landed that Tuna, about a 100lbs, it was harder then the Blue Marlin. We landed another Striped Marlin and a couple Dorado also that day. It's my second outing with Pisces and we will definitely be back.

Thanks

Richard

This testimonial has two stages,

The first one is after day one of fishing, second one is from when they got home.

PART ONE

Hi Tracy,
Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for all your help and consideration in setting up our trip yesterday. The trip started with the surprise Pisces shirts, and was continued fun from that point forward.
As you may have heard, it was a slow day from a purely fishing standpoint with only one fish landed and one other hookup all day. But the one fish we landed was a billfish, something I've not had the priviledge of catching in over 50 years of fishing. I don't know where a 103" sailfish fits in the overall scheme of things, but for me it made the day and we could have headed back in then. Watching that magnificent creature swim away unharmed is a memory I'll carry with me for a long time, and hooking up with a blue marlin a couple of minutes later was the icing on the cake.
I had hoped to get out fishing again tomorrow (Tuesday) and Oscar thought he might be able to arrange a shared charter for me, but I haven't heard from him so I guess that's not going to work out. We'll be leaving Cabo on Wednesday with a great memory and our appetites whetted for the fishing down here. Hopefully we'll get the opportunity to do it again in the future.
Again, many thanks from Diane and I.

PART TWO

Hi Tracy,
Well, we made it back to NJ with some really great memories of Cabo largely due to you and the team at Pisces. Thanks for getting me out a second time with Capt Leon and Rosario, it was an excellent trip with plenty of mahi and my first blue marlin. Absolutely unforgettable! I know we'll be back, and will certainly be out with Pisces again in the future.

I posted a review on Trip Advisor, and will be recommending Pisces to others planning to visit Cabo in the future.

Again, many many thanks for helping to make this 40th anniversary trip the trip of a lifetime.

Our experience with Pisces by:

Dirk and Tricia Rachfall, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Hot, hot, hot is the best way to describe the weather in Cabo for our
week long visit. We have been to Cabo 4 times in the last 22 years, the
first time being for our honeymoon, the last time 2 years ago as a 20 year
celebration. We’ve always gone fishing and had great success and we’ve
always golfed too. This trip we decided that we can golf anywhere but we
can’t fish for Dorado and Marlin in very many places so we left the clubs at
home and settled on two days of fishing. After cruising the web prior to
our departure, I was most impressed with Pisces and decided to head to their
office on the first day of our trip. Every boat had great write ups and
sounded like they would be great choices. We did know that we wanted a big
enough boat that could get us to the fish fast and gave us lots of room to
fight the big one! Little did we know that we would really need that
space. We settled on La Brisa with Captain Rey Winkler and Salvador.
The awesome 31 foot boat had room to sit, room to recline and room to walk –
great!

Day one saw us heading out early. Immediately when we put in our lines, we
brought aboard a small dorado. We had agreed that Dirk
would bring in the first fish. Next to hit was a 130 lb Striped
Marlin. This was my fish! I have landed dorados, tunas, and a sailfish but
never a marlin. It was very exciting and he put on a great show. We saw
many other stripers but none would take our hook.

At 1pm, the excitement really began! While I was looking elsewhere, Dirk
saw a fish come out of the water and take hold of the closest squid plug and
then was gone. The rod danced, the crew jumped and the next thing there was
a fish dancing across the water about 60 yards off the side of the boat. I
didn’t think it was the same fish that was on our line as it was now dancing
beside our boat in the same direction about 80 yards away. Since it was
fish number 3, it was Dirk’s to bring in. Well, away we go, it was our fish
and as Salvador exclaimed “it’s a blue!” After the initial dancing, the
fish went way down and we never saw him again until he was beside the boat
being hauled in. This was a BIG fish. Turns out all estimated it at over
300 lbs. It was strapped to the back of the boat and after an hour of
fighting it, we turned in and headed for home.

After lots of pictures and congratulations by many fishermen and observers,
we turned the fish over to the crew who had it hauled away and filleted for
the team. Afterwards while sitting on the boardwalk having a well deserved
drink, we saw many a person go by with a bag of fish – we wanted to say
“that’s our fish!”

Day two, after a day of recovery by the pool, we set out again. The waters
were so calm and we flew along to the fishing grounds. The day started
pretty much the same as day one except the first dorado was a
35 lber that I brought in. Great fish that we later had filleted with us
having some sent to a local restaurant (Captain Tony’s) which was excellent!
Another couple of hours later, and after out racing and casting several
other boats, Salvador expertly hooked a striped marlin of about the same
size as the day before and Dirk had another Marlin which we again released.
The day was going similar to the previous trip that I was now awaiting for
my Blue marlin to hit. It didn’t have the fairy tale ending this time. We
didn’t catch anymore, I think it was to do with the wonderful calm water,
great for fishing, not so good for catching!

Overall we had a wonderful fishing experience. We’ve been on many boats and
if you’re deciding on going bigger or smaller, bigger is worth every dollar.
Our crew was fantastic, Capt’n Rey, Salvador and Rey Jr., and the other
pleasant surprise was the great people in the office and on the dock for
check in and when we returned.

Thank you guys, you made us feel like part of the Pisces family. We will
most definitely choose Pisces on our next fishing adventure in Cabo.

Dear Pisces,
Wendy and I want to let you know how much we enjoyed our fishing experience with you. You were all very helpful and made our trip.

Thank you very much...See you next time we are in Cabo!

Buenos Dias!

I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for making the fishing trip we had with you a success! I planned a trip for myself and groomsmen as a “thank you” to them for being in my wedding and it was a trip we all will not soon forget (my wife and I actually got married in Cabo the following Saturday). The day started off a bit slow on the Adriana but we were all in anticipation when I hung this 110lb Yellowfin which took 1 hour and 45 minutes to bring in on 30lb test line!!!

We lost a small Dorado boat side when he spit the hook but soon after landed a 40lb bull that one of my groomsmen landed. He was super excited as this was his 1st offshore fish ever! My best man hung a small 15lb yellowfin tuna, by no means was it the size of the rest of the catch but he still had a good time and enjoyed the trip.

Our goal was to go out fishing and bring back enough fish to feed our wedding party of 30 and we had that accomplished with 2 fish totaling 150lbs!

When my wife and I come back to Cabo I will definitely be giving the Pisces a call. Thanks again for the memories!

George, Ady,

I was a guest on the Valerie on May 8th 2009. We had a fantastic day and hooked up with several striped marlin. We also boated two that day, one being mine.....my first striped marlin!

Thanks,

Scott Bardreau, McKinney, Texas

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Howdy,

Once again yall have out done yalls self. I look forward to fishing with yall every trip. We fishing with Julio on "Bill Collector". This is our second year to fish with him and he is my favorite captian in all of Cabo. No one fishes hard than Julio. We had a great first fishing it was a perfect way to spend fathers day with my Dad and his best Rocky and his son Mitchell. We caught three tuna that day with Rocky's about 20lbs, Mitchel was about 50lbs and Mine was about 60lbs pictures are attched. The second was just as good as everybody got a turn to fight a fish with Rocky, Mitchel and my Dad all catching dorado the biggest about 50lbs. Are good friend Brian came along that and was able to catch and release his first marlin. Then we got a bit of a suprise at the end of the day when I caught a jackfish that hit front right corner teaser. But Once again a great trip and cant wait to come back.

Thanks,

Michael Robertson, Pearland TX.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just wanted to say thanks for the great trip; I’ve attached a pic of the Dorado I caught while fishing on the Rebecca June 23rd. We caught a few Dorados and saw a number of striped Marlin and had a nice one take a bait before tossing the hook behind the boat. The crew worked hard and put us on fish, but the Marlin weren’t biting that day.

Thanks again,

My family went on the Tracy Ann on April 30th and I caught a 180 lb. Striped Marlin and my brother caught a Mahi Mahi which we ate for dinner. We had a great time. It was a dream of mine to catch a huge fish while ocean fishing. I have a great tale to tell as my Marlin wasn't even hooked. The hook was merely wrapped around the sword. Thanks and I hope to be back.

Tracy:

We had a great time fishing both days...we also enjoyed the Captain and the mates...they were good guys and were working hard for us both days.

The only disappointment was not landing that damned Dorado the second day!!!! It was soooooooooooo close and we wanted to eat it soooooooooooooo badly!!!!

I stopped by your shop and bought a marlin flag to frame w/ a good pic of my marlin....

thanks again...I'll recommend Pisces to anybody traveling to Cabo.

Adriana and the Pisces Staff,

Virginia Thompson and I, Dave Sharninghouse, want to thank you and your staff for making our first Cabo fishing trip on 4/22/09 a big success! From the sweet rolls at the dock in the morning to the cleaning of our catch on the return, it was a great experience. Speaking of experience, Captain Julio and first mate Ernesto on the TRACY ANN, did an outstanding job of getting us on fish and talking us through the landing of the fish. We ended up with 1 marlin, 2 dorado, and 7 yellow fin tuna. The dinner at Alexander's with our fresh catch was awesome!
When we left the dock Ernesto was great at explaining what to expect and was very professional in his dealings with us. He kept the boat immaculate and neat. I told my friends that you could have eaten off of the floor it was so clean!! Please relay my thanks to the crew of the TRACY ANN and give Fernando a nod too.

Thanks for everything and being more than gracious with all of my inquires.

I want to thank you for a very memorable fishing experience last Friday February 27th, 2009.
I was a member of the Nickerson group that caught five marlin. The crew of the boat were
very professional and I think responsible for seeing that we caught so many fish.

We were told that you would either mail or email us a certificate showing that we were
successful. That would be a great reminder of a wonderful trip.

I caught two marlin and will remember the thrill forever.

Dear Tracy, Juan, Oscar, Adriana and the Rest of the Pisces Office:

My wife and three of her girlfriends fished on “Ni Modo” on Monday, February 23, 2009 with Captain Edgar Renteria. Attached is a photo of one of the 9 striped marlin the girls caught and released that day at the Golden Gate Bank. Your office requested that we forward this photo to you, and I thought this photo might look good on your website given that you probably seldom have charters with females only. (The women pictured are, from left to right: Wendy Berger, Brenda Casey, Kathy Bradford and Kathy Carey; all of whom are from St. Louis, Missouri).

Thanks as always for the excellent fishing and outstanding service. We will see later this month, and again in April.

Sincerely, John Carey

Hi Tracy,

Just a quick note to thank you, Ady, the crew of Valerie and the whole Pisces Team for a really memorable days fishing.
The preparations and organization was first class, with quick responses to my E-Mails and answers to the questions therein. For a client who was in Cabo for only 71/2 hours on a cruise ship, getting 61/2 hours on the water and almost 5 hours fishing in was a fantastic achievement.
Everything went smooth as clockwork, I was met within 10 minutes of getting to the cruise dock, the paperwork was all ready, 'Valerie' was waiting close by (no need to walk right round to her mooring) and 'she' was ready to go (bait, beer and gear all on board).
Now, about 'Valerie' and the crew. Firstly, thankyou for the no cost upgrade. With time not on my side a fast boat to get me to 'Golden Gate' was essential and 'Valerie' delivered with a fast and comfortable ride. With my late start we were one of the last boats to get there but no bother, Capt Roberto put me straight on the fish with a lively 100lb Stripey hooked up within 20 minutes of arriving. A 25 minute fight later on 20lb Penn International stand-up gear and the fish was mine - a couple of quick photo's, a textbook release by deckhand Raymondo and my day was made.
3 good size Dorado and another stripey around 120lb (also released) completed the day - fantastic. Chasing and casting to 'tailing' marlin is something new to a (European) Atlantic angler who usually trolls lures or 'bait'n'switches' - reel good fun. I'll be back!!!
The crew really know their stuff and kept me right all day, all the tackle was top-notch and the boat was superb - ship shape and Bristol fashion as we say in the U.K.
Only 2 regrets;
1. I wish I had had more time. My best marlin day is 2 blues and my best day overall is 1 blue, 1 spearfish and 2 wahoo, so to get 5 fish is fantastic, another hour and I'm certain Capt Roberto would have got me that 3rd Marlin.
2. I wish I had taken my wife with me. She has always wanted to catch a Billfish but won't take on a big blue using heavy chair tackle. These stripeys however would be right up her street. (We have been trying to get her a spearfish for 10 years or so in the Canary Islands, but never get one when she is on the boat). Next time I'm in Cabo I'm going to book 2 or 3 days with you guys - and the wife is coming too, so watch out!!!!
To finish off, what a great day, what a great experience, what a great team. Thankyou Pisces Sportfishing. I will be recommending you to my friends, clients and also the cruise line.

Chris M from the U.K.

Hi Tracy

I just wanted to drop you a quick line and say many, many thanks for organizing a charter for me when I arrived on my cruise ship Oosterdaam. The shore crew arranged a shared charter by putting a sign in the window, and it worked out very well.

I was thrilled to get La Brisa, as we fished with them during the IGFA in 2006. Rey is a great captain, and with Salvadore, they are an amazing team. We left the wharf around 8:30am and headed to Golden Gate after buying some bait. When we arrived, the sea was boiling with action, and boats charging about to the many marlin coming up on the surface. Our crew got into the middle of a huge ball of mackerel and sardines, and proceeded to load up with more bait, which turned out to be a good thing. We began fishing around 10:00am and over the course of the next 4 hours, we pitched continuously to marlin, and had 21 strikes, 16 hook-ups and battles, and successfully got 11 marlin to the boat, all of which we released.
I have never seen the sea so active with marlin, whales, seals, birds, and every other specie of marine life as that day.

When we finally had lines in around 2:00pm and headed back to the cruise ship, we were tired and thrilled with the day's fish. Salvadore made a special abalone dish, with cold beers to wash it down, and then we just roared along, - and were treated to a magnificent whale jumping show enroute back to port.

It was probably one of the best fishing days I've ever had.

I've circulated some of my pics amongst my friends both here in Canada, in the Caribbean, and down in the U.S., and we're now planning a trip back in November.

I'll send you some of the marlin pics I took during the trip, and feel free to share them with Rey and Salvadore.

All the very best, and tight lines,

One final thing, your entire company is fantastic. My wife and I were in Cabo for the first time in ’06 and not knowing any better, we arranged a charter through a timeshare presentation at PB Sunset Beach. No one caught anything, my wife spent the entire day seasick, and the boat had to be towed in at the end of the day. I can’t remember the name of the company, but it definitely was not Pisces. In ’07, I arranged for a share ahead of time and chose Pisces. I didn’t catch anything, but the experience couldn’t have been more different from the previous year’s trip. Everyone I dealt with at Pisces was professional, friendly, and very helpful. It made choosing a charter company a no-brainer for future fishing. The ’08 trip was just as good, with fishing results better – I caught two Marlin, while the boat’s total was one Dorado and five or six Marlin. I hope I’ll be able to make it down again in ’09 (if not, it’ll definitely be in ’10). I love to get the fishing updates that you send out! It definitely makes want to start planning my next trip.

While fishing itself may be somewhat of a gamble, choosing Pisces is a safe bet. I mention this to everyone when I hear they’re going to Cabo. Thanks again for everything. Have a great New Year!

Hola,

We want to thank you for the fishing trip of a lifetime. My husband, Robert Richards and our boys John and Jordan went out on the Adriana with Capt. Enrique and Ferdinand. They landed 6 Striped Marlin and had a blast. We will highly recommend your fishing company. Thanks again for the great memories.

We fished on the Valerie Thursday, December 11 and had a phenomenal experience. Nicholas, Roseando, and Julio were great! We caught our first ever marlin (striped) as soon as we got out to the Golden Gate and the bites did not slow down. We ended up landing 5 striped marlin and had an amazing time on the water. We saw hundreds of sea lions, several whales, and upwards of 100 marlin. Our captain and mates were constantly working, changing the bait and their tactics, to help us get as many fish as we could! Not only did they help us get our catches in the boat, they also took pictures of us fighting our fish and even got a priceless photo of our "double" hook-up, making it a memory we will never forget! Again, we cannot say enough good things about our experience with Pisces. We absolutely recommend Pisces to anyone looking for a great day of sport-fishing! We will be back next year and plan to book again with Pisces.

An old saying says "you get what you pay for" and we absolutely believe that to be true in our experience with Pisces. Although Pisces is a little higher priced than some competitors, it is without-a-doubt worth the expense! We have fished with another reputable company in Cabo, and although they were respectable, our experience with Pisces does not even compare to our experience with the other. Pisces far surpassed our expectations!

Thank you Tracy and crew for a great day in Cabo!

Happy Holidays!

Hi Tracy,

Just wanted to share with you the McIntrye Family fishing experience this week (12/23) aboard "Rebecca & Ruthless".

The LaFace brothers of Milwaukee, WI aboard Rebecca caught and released 6 Striped Marlin, 2 Dorado and 1 Hammerhead Shark - while Palmers, Flemings and Uncle Bruce of Minneapolis caught 6 Marlin and 1 Dorado.

I have included a picture of 11 yr old Colton LaFace w/ Dad (Sal) boating the largest striped marlin caught aboard Rebecca on the 23rd for your fishing report consideration - I know Colton would be thrilled to see the picture on line if posted.

Thanks for your consideration.

Happy New Year!

We fished on the "Ruthless" on Tuesday December 9, 2008.

My son and son-in-law caught their first marlins. My granddaughter and daughter also hooked-up their first marlin which I brought to the boat for release.
The trip was anticipated for most of the year and greatly exceeded my expectations.
The "Ruthless" crew is unbelievable in how well they work together and helped our first time marlin fishermen catch and release four fish. The action was continuous with one hook-up after the next.
I have fished Pisces often with the Sandy Schwinn group and never disappointed.
Thank you so much for making this day of our Cabo vacation so successful.
Please thank the "Ruthless" Captain and crew for a fabulous day.
A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER!!!

Hello Pisces,

We would like to thank you for guiding us to an awesome two days of marlin fishing, the honesty and loyalty of your business and staff is greatly appreciated.

Captain Rey from "La Brisa" is by far the best with just enoughagressiveness to do what it takes tu put you on the fish, his first mate Ernesto was just as professional and provided us with great enterteinment.

This was a trip of a lifetime and we will return, its been years since my brother and I spent quality time together and you made it happen here in Cabo.

Sincerely,

Jerry & Joe Malangone, New Jersey.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,

My party and I had the absolute pleasure of fishing with Captain Steve, and his crew Rudy, Lobo and Victor, aboard Spartacus at Sea.

I have chartered “dozens” of boats over the years. I have never experienced a captain and crew that were so friendly and willing to do whatever it takes to keep all of us happy. They were timely and efficient. Everything was always perfectly organized, whether it was as simple as coffee and breakfast first thing in the morning to the equipment working, it was a truly an excellent time. These guys never even stopped for a lunch break!

Steve and his crew run a “tight ship”. The boat was spotless each and every day that we arrived. Even with his broken leg, Steve would make sure that we had our music of choice playing or had the food laid out for us. It seemed that no matter what the situation was, Steve and the guys had either already thought of it, or would jump on it and handle it without haste.

The 4 of them worked in unison on this boat. There was never an argument or disagreement about who was supposed to be doing “this job” (which I have seen all too often on other charters).

I really cannot express what an incredible time we had. Coming from the Philadelphia/New Jersey area, we spend 2 entire days traveling to and from Cabo in order to have 3 days of fishing. THIS trip is what we had always hoped for – thanks to Steve and his crew.

By the way, we caught some fish too! On day 1, we landed 29 striped marlin. On day 2, another 26. And on day 3 we landed another 25 marlin, plus 5 dorado. Steve’s goal was for us to land 100 marlin in 3 days, and I think he worked harder at it than we did, otherwise there is no question we would have done it!

Please extend our gratitude to the boat owner as well. Steve and the crew take exceptional care of the boat, inside and out, as well as the fishing equipment. Their pride shows not only while we are on the water fishing, but while Spartacus is docked.

Steve and his crew showed a genuine passion to work hard for us each and every day. I’m an owner in a business, and know that I appreciate when we receive a compliment. To say that Steve and the guys did a great job would be an understatement. I would highly recommend Steve and his crew, along with Spartacus at Sea, to anyone who was considering a charter.

Mike Nosal, Brisco NJ.

Hello Tracy,

Well I did not think it was possible to beat the number of Marlin we caught last year when we traveled 3 hours one way to The Finger, but we did. In three days of fishing on La Brisa, Rebecca and Ruthless we hooked up to 39 Marlin and landed 29 of them, plus one Dorado, but this time it was only a short one hour ride to Golden Gate. The only downside was that there were so many bites, we ran out of bait each day. Never the less, it was the first trip for my brother Marty and the first Marlin for my son Rj and I can guarantee that when they come again, it will only be with Pisces. Attached is a proud father and son shot of me and RJ which is already on my desktop. Feel free to post this letter and picture on your website and we will look forward to seeing you again next year.

You guys are AWESOME!

Take care,

Bob Turney, Castro Valley CA.

Tracy,

I'd like to thank you&your organization for 2 wonderful days of fishing (11-10-08&11-12-08).

Day one, aboard the Ruthless with Capt. Beto, we had 2 friends,Rod & Cathy Applegate, that had never & been blue water fishing. Upon arriving @ the Golden Gate reef, they were amazed at the not only probably thousands of free jumping & tailing Striped Marlin, seal & sea birds, but it was the whales that left their mouths wide open & in awe. Capt. Beto put us on the marlin & everybody got their turn in the chair. We had a 6 Striped Marlin day & headed for Cabo. I assure the Applegate's will be back. Day two aboard the LaBrisa with Capt. Rey, I asked if we could put out the trolling lures & go for some surface action. He said he would do his best. Watching the spread & hearing the ping of the outrigger clips is what I enjoy the most. We caught 4 Dorado, a Tuna, lots of short strikes & the kicker, a 45lb. Wahoo. Then we headed for the Golden Gate for 2 large Stripey's to finsh the day. Capt. Rey did more than his best & gave us the whole spectrum of blue water fishing. We had a very colorful string of laundry (flags) when we turned the corner into the marina. I've been on 4 of your 31' Betrams & am amazed at the speed these boats can make. We (safely) out ran nearly every other boat going & coming to the Golden Gate, which means more fishing time. Please thank the crews of the above mentioned boats for me. We will see you good folks the next time. Feel free to add this to your testamonial page.

Sincerely,

Ron Smart, Grandbury TX.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just wanted to tell you what a great fishing trip we had on November 1 on Bill Collector. Loved the boat, loved Captain Julio and mate – very pleasant to talk to and very good fisherman. Can’t argue with 17 marlin in one day! Juan and Adrianna (sp) were very helpful as usual. This was my tenth trip with your service and I always recommend you when given the chance. Keep up the good work!!

Dear Oscar,

We wanted to write to express our most sincere thanks for providing us a "once in a lifetime" experience aboard the Ruthless on Tues. July 15, 2008! Our Captain, Leon, and Mate, Beto were absolutely outstanding in every respect in making it possible for our family to experience the thrill of catching a spectacular 425 pound blue marlin! Not even in our wildest of dreams did we believe we would experience such a jaw dropping adventure!! We all highly recommended Pices Fishing Fleet to anyone willing to take on the challenges & joys of deep-sea fishing. We not only caught a fabulous fish we also enjoyed seeing dolphins and sea turtles on our excursion! Oscar, we can't thank you enough for everything you did for us i.e., arranging to take pictures of us with our blue marlin when our own camera failed us, promptly delivering the filets to our restaurant for our celebration dinner, and providing us with a CD to take home for our memory book. Everything about our fishing experience, thanks to Pices Fishing Fleet was nothing less than first rate!! I wish you and your fishing crew continued success in Cabo!!

Warm Regards,

Pisces Sportfishing ---

My father and I have been sport fishing for many years together, and have rarely come across such a professional and courteous crew as that of Miguel and Chris onboard the Marea.
We had the privilege to fish with them on Saturday, July 12, 2008 - and a slow day of fishing turned out to be an exciting one indeed. We landed a nice striped marlin of over 100 pounds and safely released him to fight another day. Before that, we boated a grouper of 20+ pounds which served our family a delicious dinner back at our hotel. Miguel was very grateful that we gave him the other half for his own family.

The boat was clean, the crew was very gracious, and the fishing Gods smiled upon us. We will be back to Cabo very soon and will be calling on the Pisces Sportfising team!

Many thanks to all for making this trip a memorable one.

Best regards,

I highly recommend the Pisces Sport fishing fleet to anybody out there that wants not only to have a great and memorable time of fishing but a personable time. Pisces Sport Fishing was the best fleet I have ever fished with in my lifetime. A Special Thanks to Capt Rey and first mate Martin on the "La Brisa" for making my dreams come true and catching striped Marlin. They worked so hard to make my dreams come true. Not only do I feel that the Pisces fleet is friends but family as well ! I cant wait to come back in Nov. My special thanks and love to all of you at Pisces! Looking so forward to seeing you all again.

Sincerely..

With love and friendship! Debra Maki, Castaik, CA

Hi Juan,

I misplaced your card you gave me with your direct email address, so I hope you receive this. We were on the Tracy Ann and the Captain was awesome and the deck hand was great. They both worked so hard and made this a trip I will never forget. It took around 30-40 minutes to real this baby in measuring approximately 110 inches and weighing approximately 120 pounds. Thanks for a fabulous trip and memory.

From Ronald Smart:

Well, the girls went out &had a blast on the Ruthless 6-17-08. They said the crew was wonderful & put them on some good action. You've probably made them blue water women for life.

Thanks for your help& I'll see you guys in November.

We wanted to write you to tell you what an incredible fishing trip we enjoyed February 2^nd and 3^rd with Steve, Vicente and Rudy aboard the Spartacus at Sea. It was not our first time with Steve and Vicente in Cabo San Lucas and it will not be our last! Steve, Vicente and Rudy are great hosts who are committed experts at finding, hooking and releasing marlin. During the two days we fished with them, we released thirty-two fish—twenty-nine of which were marlin (the other three were Mako sharks). Vicente is a true “marlin whisperer” as he was able to consistently spot marlin and entice them into hitting the mackerel. I spent a lot of time fishing from the bow with Vicente and was in awe with his abilities. Rudy’s passion for marlin fishing was evident; as he was clearly having fun as he hustled and worked hard to hook up and release fish. Rudy also is a skilled fisherman and is a great guy to spend time with. Not only are Vicente and Rudy astute anglers but they are tremendous instructors as well. They provided us with the knowledge that helped the three of us hook 10 of the 29 marlin over two days. Steve is the absolute best Captain I have ever chartered. On the morning of our first day, he suggested we travel another hour beyond the Golden Gate to a spot that would have less pressure and possibly more fish. Steve was right; there were no other boats and all the marlin we could handle. He is all about catching marlin, and did not stop fishing because of the “clock.” We stayed out well past the typical day, as the marlin kept biting. He also shared a lot of knowledge about marlin fishing. We will definitely be repeat customers on Spartacus at Sea. This was the most exhilarating and extreme fishing we have ever experienced!!! The Spartacus at Sea is the epitome of luxury and is the perfect offshore fishing boat. Even in rougher seas everything about the boat was comfortable. Steve made sure we felt at home on Spartacus.As experienced on a prior trip to Cabo San Lucas, Pisces is a top notch outfit. Juan was on top of all of the details of the trip. From the moment we booked the trip, Juan was ready to serve our every need. Thanks Juan!

I wanted to write and say thank you to Pisces for an outstanding day of fishing. This was my first experience with sport fishing and our Captain Jose and mate Oscar of the boat Rebecca were a pleasure to fish with. Starting out early in the morning my wife and I relaxed on the back of the boat while we drove out to sea. As we trolled for fish, I could see the experience of the captain coming through. He was able to drive us right to the best spot where I caught my first Striped Marlin. From the measure, it looks like the fish was around 8 feet long. To really top off the day, we hooked into another Striped Marlin again about 6-7 feet long. It was an incredible day and thank you to all. I hope you enjoy the attached picture of the second catch.

Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks to Captain Enrique and Ernesto, the best deck hand ever. My wife and I chartered the Adriana on January 12 2008, and we both agreed that this was by far our favorite crew we have ever been out with. The professional attitude that was displayed from the moment we arrived at the dock was more than we could have hoped for, and completely put my wife at ease. Because of the hard work of this crew I was able to catch and release a 170 lb striped marlin, my first marlin after 30 years of trying. We all shared a good laugh when I asked if they still flew the flags on the way back in to the dock. We could not have hoped for a better crew, and will certainly ask for them again when we return.

Just wanted to drop you guys a quick note of thanks! My Father-in-law, Brent Michelsen and I fished aboard the Andrea on October 25^th with captain Orlando and first mate Salvador. We went all the way out to the Finger Bank and ended up with 9 striped marlin, 1 mako lost at the boat and 1 more marlin lost at the boat. It was an amazing trip and the first time either of us had ever caught a Marlin! Orlando and Salvador were great, they put us on the fish big time and had us laughing the entire time. I’ve already re-told our fish stories a million times already and have recommended the Andrea to all my friends. We’re hoping to make it an annual trip and will definitely book the Andrea again! I’m also including several pics of myself and my father-in-law……hopefully they’ll make it on the webpage and we’d love to see them up on the wall in the Pisces Office the next time we’re down there!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just wanted to send all Pisces employees a note of appreciation and express our thanks for the excellent service we were provided on our recent fishing trip to Cabo San Lucas. We had two very successful days fishing aboard Cabolero. Captain Lupe and mates Victor and Andreas could not have worked any harder or have been any more professional than all the crews we’ve had the pleasure fishing with. Our two day total was 2 Stripe Marlin, 3 Mahi-Mahi, 9 Yellow Fin Tuna, and fantastic memories to share forever. Carlos and Oscar your dock agents were top notch as were all the office staff we encountered on two occasions. Fishing with Pisces should be on everyone’s itinerary when visiting Cabo; I know it will be for us!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hola! Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you once again for a great day of fishing with Pisces. You were all booked up for the day that we needed, but got us aboard the “Mextime”. I will have to say that I would recommend the Mextime to anyone. They were very aggressive fishermen and worked very hard for us. We ended up releasing 5 stripes and boating 3 dorado. I think that we could have released even more stripes, but one of our party was a bit sea sick, so we decided that we had already had an amazing day of fishing and thought we should get the sick one back to land. Thanks again for everything....this is the exact reason why we continue to fish with Pisces each and every year! I’m attaching a few pictures from our trip.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We were just reading the online fishing report from last week. We were on the boat of the day, the Yahoo, on Oct. 8th. However the article states that on the boat were Jeff Dresser and Jeff Loose from Ontario Canada, when in fact it was Jeff Dresser and myself Ivy Madden from Ontario Canada and Jeff Loose from California. I don't know if it is too late to correct it but nobody from home will believe me when I tell them that I was there also. We had a wonderful day the crew and the boat far exceeded our expectations. Thank you for making our day at sea the highlight of our trip. We are looking forward to the next time we are in Cabos and visit PISCES for another fishing fantasy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As repeat clients of Pisces Sportfishing we had always done very well, but none compared to this year. The captain and crew of Rebecca are expert in finding and catching offshore fish. Nine marlin caught in a single day is an outstanding catch by any standard, not to mention a couple of dorado and a sailfish the day before. Thank you and the crew for a fishing experience not easily forgotten. Hopefully we will see you next year around this time.

We just wanted to send you a note expressing our thanks for three wonderful days of fishing on the Pisces boats. There is no question that this year far surpassed last year... three days of fishing really makes a difference Despite the long return trip home, we managed to keep all of our catch frozen and filled half of the freezer with nearly 100 pounds of fillets. Friday was especially exciting seeing all of the schooling tuna at Palmilla. Captain J.R. and Manuel were really a lot of fun and worked extra hard to see that we caught tuna. I would like to also mention that J.R. recommended that we return a little early to help save our catch and keep them from spoiling... great idea. Please give our thanks to the kind Captain who recommended going to Palmilla for the tuna... had he not mentioned the location, we probably would have not known about the area. Monday and Wednesday were also great fishing on the Anzuelo and Adriana...the Anzuelo team did a fantastic job allowing us to catch ten dorado on Monday. Please give Juan many thanks for all of his assistance... he is such a great Amigo. We really did not want to leave ... Gail and myself would have liked to fish several more days. Hopefully, we can return again next year for more excitement.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Pisces,

I wanted to thank the crew on the Adriana for a wonderful time on 8/13/06. We caught a whopping
eighteen fish within a 90 minute span -- Yellowfin
tunas, Skipjacks, Dorados, you name it.

Captain Enrique and deckhand Ernesto did a fantastic
job. They were friendly, helpful, and very effective.
We were very happy with their service. Great job
guys!!! We will definitely recommend the Pisces fleet
to anyone going to Cabo for fishing.

I have attached some pictures from this wonderful
trip.

I just wanted to thank all at Pisces for my recent fishing trip. Could you please pass on to the Skipper and crew of the Andrea my thanks and gratitude. Ramon and his crew (sorry I cannot spell his name) made this a trip of a lifetime, and I am sure without Ramons expertise and his crews hard work I would not have caught as many fish. I have dreamt of catching a Marlin since I was a small boy and to catch 5 was beyond my wildest dreams.

Dear Pisces,

I wanted to thank you for a wonderful time on February 28th, 2006. I found myself reminiscing of my days fishing with my grandfather on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. The marina was alive with activity as we arrived at 6:30am, engines warming up, first mates scurrying around to arrange last second details. It was great.

We had teasers in the water by 8am and raised our first marlin by 8:03am!! Before we had the teasers reeled in, a second marlin appeared. We could only be so lucky. Ernesto set the hook on the first and 40 minutes into the fight, we had our first striped marlin. By days end, we raised 6, hooked 4, and landed and released 2. One for me and one for Terry. This was our first marlin fishing experience and it turned out to be unforgettable.

I wanted to compliment you on your crew, your boats and equipment, and the professional yet friendly way you do business. Everything was top notch. Captain Enrique and first mate Ernesto were friendly, helpful, and very intelligent when it came to marlin. We enjoyed speaking "Spanglish" with them throughout the day. And the food was phenomenal!! For anyone booking a charter with Pisces, I suggest the beef burritos for your lunch.

I would recommend to anyone vacationing in Cabo San Lucas to book a charter with Pisces Sport Fishing and I hope to return in the near future.

Thanks again and happy fishing.

Dear Pisces Fleet,

We fished with Captain Benito and Raymundo on Saturday November 5, 2005
on Valerie. What a wonderful trip! We were in search of billfish and
meat. We did not have any luck on the meat, but we hit payday on the
marlin. We started out slow, but hooked up on a nice striped marlin
about an hour after we wet the lines. After successfully releasing the
fish, things went calm for a while with an occasional miss here and
there. All of the sudden, we have another striped marlin on. I stuck my
brother-in-law in the chair since I already had one under my belt for
the day. After getting him set up, I was reaching for the camera when
all hell broker loose. 10 minutes later, everyone was holding a bent rod
and trying not to get crossed up. We had three fisherman and 6 marlin on
at one time. I did not realize it until after we got back, but Benito
actually had to cut a marlin loose because he was unable to drive the
boat, bark directions, and hold 2 rods with a billfish on each at the
same time. We successfully caught and released all five marlin and
Captain Benito called it a day. Total count was 6 striped marlin between
110 and 150 lbs. with 6 successful releases.
I cannot say enough for how professional and courteous your outfit is.
This was my second trip with Pisces and my two boats have a total of 10
striped marlin and a 120 lb.Sailfish in only two days on the water
during the last few years.
I will quit taking up much more of your time, but I wanted to pass along
a couple of photos from the digital camera. Please notice the one of all
of us hooked up in the cockpit!!!! That is how memories are made. We
will return and cannot wait!
One note...please let Benito know that when he tells his guests that it
is "time to call it a day and return to the marina for tequilla and
margaritas", that he needs to throw in a sidenote that he should not be
taken literally. I think we shut the marina down that night telling our
stories of the day!!!

Sincerely,

Todd Jackson

I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you as far as I am concerned, you have the best fishing fleet of all. The gang at the Pisces sport fishing office treated us like we were "ROYALTY". I do appreciate it.

The very first day we were out it was just as exciting as I remembered, we caught yellow fin tuna, and Dorado, needless to say my brother (the main reason I was there) caught fish, we usually don't even get a bite, but this time was just outstanding and he was thrilled along with me.

Mario met us at the docks and made sure we filled out the proper paper work and then either him or Oscar met us at the end of the day. This was all the times we went out and that was three times. The second day my brother caught his marlin and was just overwhelmed. He is still talking about it. I caught 3 marlin there in 1977 and told him there was nothing like it, he believes it now.

The third day we ended up with another couple which were very friendly and wanted to catch the same type of fish that we did, all worked out fine, at the end of the day Oscar met us at the end of the dock and even offered us a ride back to your office so we might get a traveling bag to take some of our fish back. All worked out just fine.

Again I would like to thank you for the "GREAT FISHING EXPERIENCE" this is one that my brother and I will not forget. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. and to the crew, you guys are the best.

Thanks so much for the great day (4/22/2005)out on The Sea of Cortez. We had the time of our lives and it made the trip to Cabo well worth every penny. The way they worked the boat was unbelievable. We were into our first Striped Marlin within 30 minutes, 6ft plus and 100lbs plus! 30 minutes later another fish on 8ft plus and 150lbs plus. then we missed one fish. Benito and Ramondo did not give up. They worked hard and had us on our 3rd fish within 90 minutes, another 100lbs plus Marlin. 3 fish on any boat is a excellant day but Benito said we need one more so we could all say we caught one. We worked 2 live bait poles and after about 45 minutes WHAM FISH ON, 30 seconds laterWHAM FISH ON, we got a double going. dont think that happens often. Benito and Ramondo worked flawless together. We landed both fish within 40 minutes and called it a day. Thanks for the time of our lives. I believe we had the best boat and charter crew in the Pisces Fleet. I will highly recomend them to everyone. Thanks again Don Rieve

Just wanted to follow-up and tell you what a wonderful time we had on the
Kahuna. Paul and his crew could not have been more accommodating and
cheerful. The food was excellent as was the service. I would highly
recommend the Kahuna and Pisces.
Best, Ken Lowe, Jan. 2005

Dear Tracy- (Sept. 14th, 2004)

I apologize for not getting this out sooner to you. I just actually got home from vacation. I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks once again to the Pisces team. I owe a special thanks to the ever friendly Nancy(fleet scheduler), Capt. Juan Gutierrez and deckhand Jose Ramon Alucano--AKA, "JR" aboard the "Andrea." Their dedicated service to the fleet should be recognized.
On my first day of fishing last week aboard the Andrea we came away empty handed. In fact no one in the marina seemed to do well that day. I in no way blame anyone. Any passionate fisherman like myself knows that this can, and will happen. The fish were simply not biting that day. The next day, just like the day before, we left the docks promptly at 6:15am. We were again the first ones to leave the harbor. Both Juan and JR, just like any other time that I have fished with them were eager, and determined to come back that day with flags flying. Around 8:30am we hooked into our first fish. It was a nice Striped Marlin that was later released. The rest of the day we landed two Dorado, 11 Skipjacks, and a Sailfish(99inches) that was also successfully released. I owe a special thanks to Juan and JR for their hard work both days. Their pleasant and more often than not hilarious personalities, would make anyone's day of fishing with them memorable.
I can not express my appreciation enough for all of you at Pisces. You have always gone above and beyond what I would expect from an established fishing fleet. I will see you all soon.

Sincerely-
Daniel J. Ryan, Amenia N.Y
