Nonstop Mahi Mahi Action & Fresh Ceviche

On July 31, ADRENALINA departed Cabo San Lucas for an 8-hour offshore charter, fishing from 6:10 AM to 2:10 PM. We started the day heading east, trolling parallel to the coastline with a productive spread of Flying Fish blue-and-white Hoochies, pink Hoochies, and trolling lures in green/white, blue/white, pink/white, and blue/gray patterns. Just 15 minutes after setting the lines, the action began when a skipjack tuna struck the pink Hoochie. The fish was successfully landed and released. Continuing along the same course off Cabeza de Ballena, the bite intensified as five more skipjack tuna attacked the spread. Three were caught on Hoochies and two on the blue-and-white and green-and-white trolling lures. All six skipjack were safely released. Only moments later, the first mahi mahi of the day crushed the pink Hoochie and was successfully landed. The action quickly turned into an unforgettable dorado frenzy. Off Santa María Beach, six mahi mahi attacked the spread, striking both Hoochies and trolling lures. We successfully landed five of them, with fish hitting blue-and-white and pink Hoochies, as well as blue-and-white, green-and-white, and pink-and-white trolling lures. About 10 minutes later, while fishing off Chileno Bay, another wave of dorado moved in. Six more mahi mahi attacked the spread, taking blue-and-white Hoochies, blue-and-white and green-and-white trolling lures, and a rigged horse mackerel (caballito). The crew continued to capitalize on the incredible bite, making it one of the best dorado days of the season. With an outstanding catch already on board, we changed strategies and headed 10 miles offshore on a 180° heading toward the 95 Bank, switching to larger trolling lures and bigger natural baits while trolling at approximately 8 knots in search of marlin. Although no billfish were hooked, the day had already exceeded expectations. ⸻ Conditions: * Calm seas throughout the day * Excellent blue-water conditions * Outstanding mahi mahi activity along the coastline * Productive waters off Cabeza de Ballena, Santa María, and Chileno * Ideal offshore fishing conditions ⸻ Summary: An incredible 8-hour adventure aboard ADRENALINA featuring: * 12 mahi mahi landed * 2 mahi mahi released * 6 skipjack tuna caught and released * Multiple double and triple hookups throughout the morning * Finished the day searching for marlin at the 95 Bank One of the hottest dorado bites of the season, with nonstop action from start to finish. A spectacular day aboard ADRENALINA, proving why Cabo San Lucas remains one of the world’s top destinations for offshore sportfishing. ?????

On the afternoon of July 30, we headed south of Divorce Beach and began trolling approximately 3 miles offshore. Our spread consisted of four artificial lures—a Petrolero, lime green, blue Flying Fish, and purple-and-white lure—along with a rigged ballyhoo (rigger bait). Shortly after lines went in, a mahi mahi (dorado) aggressively struck the purple lure. After an exciting fight, we successfully landed the fish, giving our anglers an excellent start to the afternoon. We continued trolling about 3 miles parallel to the coastline, and as we reached the waters off La Bufadora, a wahoo exploded on the rigged ballyhoo. The fish made a blistering run but managed to cut through the bait before a solid hookup could be established, escaping after a thrilling strike. With one quality fish landed and another exciting opportunity, we returned to Cabo San Lucas Marina after another enjoyable afternoon offshore. ⸻ Conditions: * Calm afternoon seas * Excellent blue-water conditions * Productive waters south of Divorce Beach and La Bufadora * Trolling with artificial lures and rigged ballyhoo ⸻ Summary: Another successful afternoon aboard ADRENALINA featuring: * 1 mahi mahi (dorado) landed * 1 wahoo strike lost * Dorado caught on a purple trolling lure * Wahoo struck a rigged ballyhoo (rigger bait) A fun afternoon on the water with quality action and another reminder of the incredible variety of offshore fishing available in Cabo San Lucas. ????

On the morning of July 28, we began the trip trolling live skipjack tuna (baby skipjack) off Cabeza de Ballena until 8:15 AM, but despite ideal conditions, we didn’t receive any strikes. After finishing with the live bait, we switched to our trolling spread, deploying a combination of artificial lures and rigged ballyhoo (rigger bait). We worked our way east, trolling approximately 4.5 miles offshore and following the coastline all the way to Palmilla, but the bite remained slow. On our return toward Cabo, the action finally picked up off the Fiesta Americana area when a wahoo exploded on the rigged ballyhoo. Unfortunately, after a blistering run, the fish managed to throw the hook and escape. Shortly afterward, a mahi mahi (dorado) aggressively struck one of our Petrolero lures. After a fun fight, the fish was successfully brought alongside the boat and released in excellent condition. We finished the morning by returning to Cabo San Lucas Marina after another enjoyable day on the water. ⸻ Conditions: * Calm morning seas * Excellent blue-water conditions * Productive waters from Cabeza de Ballena to Palmilla * Wahoo and mahi mahi activity on the return run ⸻ Summary: Another enjoyable offshore charter featuring: * 1 mahi mahi (dorado) caught and released * 1 wahoo strike lost * Trolled live baby skipjack, artificial lures, and rigged ballyhoo * Covered productive waters from Cabeza de Ballena to Palmilla Even on a slower morning, persistence paid off with an exciting mahi mahi release and a thrilling wahoo strike, highlighting the variety of offshore fishing available in Cabo San Lucas. ????
