Double Wahoo Trolling off Cabo

Tuna Landed – Afternoon Fishing Action at the Lighthouse (November 10) DESCRIPTION On the afternoon of November 10, ADRENALINA 1 departed Cabo San Lucas Marina, heading toward the Lighthouse area in search of tuna. Upon reaching the fishing grounds, we began making several trolling passes around the area, working our rigger baits to attract fish. During these passes, four tuna followed our bait presentations without committing to a strike. The crew continued working the area, maintaining their trolling pattern and presenting the baits to the fish. On the fifth encounter, a tuna finally committed to the rigger bait, resulting in a successful hookup. After the fight, the crew successfully landed the tuna and brought it aboard. ADRENALINA 1 returned to Cabo San Lucas Marina with one tuna aboard.

Productive Bottom Fishing – Triggerfish, Pompano & Grouper (November 10) DESCRIPTION On November 10, ADRENALINA 1 departed Cabo San Lucas Marina with a plan to focus on bottom fishing. We headed toward the waters off Arroyo del Tiburón, initially trolling with planers and trap-hook rigs in search of wahoo. Although we did not encounter any wahoo, we successfully caught a small tuna during the trolling session. Due to its small size, the crew decided to release the fish. Following the release, we switched strategies and began bottom fishing in the same area. The change in technique produced consistent action, resulting in approximately 15 triggerfish, 3 pompano, 3 cardinalfish, 5 rainbow fish, and 1 grouper locally known as cazuelera. The crew also landed another tuna, adding to the variety of species caught throughout the trip. What began as an unsuccessful search for wahoo turned into a productive bottom fishing outing, with approximately 28 fish caught in total, including the small tuna released earlier in the day.

Sailfish Release & Tuna Catch – Pacific Fishing Action (November 7) DESCRIPTION On November 7, ADRENALINA 1 departed Cabo San Lucas Marina, initially heading toward the Lighthouse area in search of roosterfish. Despite working the area, we were unable to locate any roosterfish willing to bite, so the crew decided to change strategy and head toward the Lighthouse Spot. Once there, we began trolling live bait and experienced a strike. Unfortunately, the angler was unable to set the hook, and the fish escaped. We then switched to trolling lures and rigger baits, continuing along the Pacific coastline toward Rancho San Lucas. Upon reaching the waters off Rancho San Lucas, we turned around and began our return toward Cabo San Lucas. While passing Pedregal, a sailfish struck one of our rigger baits. The fish was successfully hooked and landed, allowing the crew to complete a successful catch and release. We continued trolling along the coast, and while passing Cerro Blanco, we encountered a school of tuna. The crew worked the area and successfully hooked and landed one tuna, adding a second species to the day’s catch. ADRENALINA 1 returned to Cabo San Lucas Marina with one sailfish successfully released and one tuna aboard.
