Tuna landed after persistent trolling

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.

Striped Marlin Catch & Release – Afternoon Billfish Action (November 6) DESCRIPTION On the afternoon of November 6, ADRENALINA 1 departed Cabo San Lucas Marina, heading toward the Lighthouse area in search of striped marlin. Upon reaching the area, we spotted four striped marlin swimming near the surface. The crew worked around the fish, presenting trolling lures and rigger baits in an attempt to trigger a strike. Despite several presentations, none of the marlin showed interest in our spread. As we began our return toward Cabo San Lucas, we spotted another pair of striped marlin near the surface. The crew quickly responded by casting bait toward the fish, successfully attracting a strike and hooking one of the marlin. After the fight, the crew successfully completed the catch and release of the striped marlin. ADRENALINA 1 returned to Cabo San Lucas Marina with one striped marlin successfully caught and released.
