The bite that keeps on giving

We were first ones out and it was a delight to finally see a calmer ocean. We knew it wouldn’t last long so we took advantage of the time landing 3 nice Dorado and a marlin before 0630! It was a great start to the day. The first one is always the hardest one!! We were fortunate to have a good bite close to shore (2-3 miles) as the wind and swell farther out was shredding big time. We followed the ledge inside the Sea of Cortez and rousted up a fat dorado and another marlin release. As the wind angle changed it started to pound us pretty good. We pounded into busting water and were able to go 1 for 3 on the marlin bites and had another release. Then Mother Nature turned on the fan and it was ripping. We trolled closer inshore getting a few more bites and another dorado in the bag! We finished up our day heading back to the Cape taking some big ones over the bow and blowing spray all yhe way up to ghe flybridge. It was nice to finally pull into the calm of the bay. Matthew and the boys did a fantastic job catching a bagfull of nice dorado and getting multiple marlin releases! And yes we do tag and release the marlin as we’re long time members of the Billfish Foundation! Let em go and let em grow! Anyway it was a fab day on the water despite get shalacked and pummeled for awhile! Another great day in San Lucas! Yarrrr! ?‍☠️?‍☠️

I knew it was going to be a good day as we drove by the oíd tuna processing plant and saw a school of dorado shredding on the bait! As soon as we rounded the arch and were putting the lines out, a fat dorado smoked the short ballyhoo. And so began an epic day! In the end we ended 6 for 10 with dorsdo up to 30 lbs, 2 marlin tagged and released, and a release on a nice silky shark. Even though we had to bust water in the late morning wind, it was well worth it and the Boston boyz were on their game! Its nice to have the bite back on after a slow couple weeks. This should hold through the next few weeks as our sea temperatures keep creeping up. Fab job, Guys, and another great day onboard Picudo!

We had a great trip fishing with Ali and the boyz from Denver! We headed into the Sea of Cortez and started inshore with light tackle targeting dorado, rockfish, grouper, and snappers. It was little slow but we riusted up a dorado, 14 triggerfish, and 2 mini groupers which we released. We couldn’t get the rock piles to produce so we headed offshore in the late morning looking for larger spieces . About 4 miles out we started to see bait busting and put in some serious time working the area. We had great results picking up a nice dorado and went 1 for 2 on wahoo which was a nice 55 pounder! As we headed back we decided to run up the edge of the canyon and man did that pay off! We picked up a couple of quality dorado to end the day on a great note! Conditions were pristine with sea temps pudhing 80, calm winds, and flat seas! The boyz took their fish to be processed a will be taking home a load if gourmet filets!! Now that was a productive day!!
