Cory Pierce, Dylan Fulton, Jeremy Fulton, Logan Harris, and Scott Fulton selected the “CHASIN TAIL,” a 62-foot Viking, run by Captain Pepe and Mates Ulises, Hamo, and Dulce for their fishing platform on this calm, clear 80-degree day. They immediately liked the captain and mates and had lots of enjoyment in every fish they reeled in – all eighteen Yellowfin Tuna at the Jaime Bank. They soon learned it would not be an easy task, as these warriors were brutal; however, they learned a great deal and felt it was worth every minute of their time.
Captain Beto Lira and Jesus R. are proud of the Pisces boat, the “RUTHLESS,” a 31-foot Bertram that they have made their second home. They were hosting the Wilson Family from Poteet, Texas, on Friday when they decided that Christopher, Hayden, and James might enjoy fishing at the Jaime Bank, as the Yellowfin Tuna were biting there. The anglers caught and released one 80-pound Striped Marlin on a Ballyhoo and eighteen Yellowfin Tuna from 9 to 15 pounds on bait at the Jaime Bank. Their success was a testament to their skills and dedication.
Captain Fernando and Mate Marcelo, the crew on the “ANDREA,” a 28-foot Uniflite, guided their guests Hanna Rey and Tory Smith from Watford, Ontario, Canada, to one of Cabo’s rich fishing grounds, the Golden Gate Bank. There, they caught and released two 120-pound Striped Marlin on lures and bait, and then moved to the Jaime Bank, where they caught ten 8 to 16-pound Yellowfin Tuna, also on lures and bait.
Aleina Soueidi, Brady Borak, Lauren Blumenfeld, Lauren Borak, Michael Chidiac, and Thayer Brown, from Mount Juliet, Tennessee, found themselves entranced by the Baja waters and the great fishing there. They chartered the “BILL COLLECTOR II,” a 35-foot Cabo Flybridge, with Captain Juan C Lopez and Mate JC Martinez, where the crew ran to the Lighthouse, and the anglers were able to catch and release one 100-pound Striped Marlin on Ballyhoo; then running to the San Jaime where the tuna were biting, they enjoyed the thrill of battling twenty-two Yellowfin Tuna weighing up to 20 pounds on bait and feathers.
The “HOT ROD,” a 42-foot Cabo Flybridge, with Erick Orozco at the helm and Hot Rod Jose Ramiro Ramirez running the cockpit, the efforts of anglers Brandon Rapp, Carson Dey, Eric Dey, and Jonathan Rapp yielded a memorable catch of twenty 18 to 20-pound Yellowfin Tuna caught on bait and lures at the Jaime Bank.
Ken and Kelly Parkman wanted to catch a few tuna, so they chartered the “REBECCA,” a 31-foot Bertram run by Captain Jose Ramon Alucano and Mate Carlos S. The captain decided Jaime Bank was the best spot for catching tuna, so they headed in that direction. Outside of the Jaime Bank, the two anglers caught ten Yellowfin Tuna in the 10 to 15-pound range.
“VALERIE,” a 35-foot Bertram with Captain Roberto Sandez and Mate Mario J., also ran to the Jaime Bank and with the help of the skilled and experienced captain and mate, anglers David Sancewich and Owen Sancewich from Oregon, were successful in catching 21 Yellowfin Tuna on bait and feathers.

They ran to the San Jaime Bank to fish for tuna, and Braunsen Bax, Camille Rogers, Christian Harrison, Evan Bax, John Bax, and Teagan Bax caught 15 Yellowfin Tuna weighing from 5 to 12 pounds on bait and feathers. They loved every moment of the challenge.
David Brackmann from Cabo San Lucas chartered the “CALIENTE,” a 42-foot Cabo Flybridge captained by Jaime and Mate Silverio. It was a beautiful day on the Ocean, calm and clear. Just as they arrived outside the San Jaime Bank, a 205-pound Swordfish hit the live bait. After a tough fight with much give and take on the reel, David was sure either he or the swordfish wouldn’t last another minute. However, the brute was finally near enough to the boat for the mate to leader the fish aboard with cheers and hurrahs from all three men on board! Plus, there was a lot of celebrating that evening as David recounted his trophy fish story. Congratulations to the Caliente crew and David Brackmann.
