Early Morning Striped Marlin Release (Ju

On July 18, we departed Cabo San Lucas on a 210° heading, making our way toward the Lighthouse. Along the route, we encountered large concentrations of flying fish, a promising sign for billfish activity, but despite the abundant bait, no predators were feeding. We then changed course to the east, and while passing off Pedregal, a striped marlin aggressively attacked our rigged ballyhoo (rigger bait). After an exciting fight, the marlin was successfully brought alongside the boat and released in excellent condition. Following the release, we located a school of yellowfin tuna. Although the fish were visible and actively moving, they remained reluctant to bite despite our efforts, and we were unable to hook one. On our way back to Cabo, a mahi mahi (dorado) struck a purple trolling lure, providing another exciting battle. The fish was landed and safely released. Shortly after releasing the mahi mahi, another striped marlin came up behind a green-and-yellow lure, following it all the way to the boat without committing to the bite before disappearing into the blue. We wrapped up another productive day on the Pacific waters and returned to Cabo San Lucas Marina. ⸻ Conditions: * Calm offshore conditions * Large concentrations of flying fish * Active striped marlin in the Pedregal area * Yellowfin tuna schools present but not feeding aggressively * Excellent water clarity ⸻ Summary: Another exciting day offshore featuring: * 1 striped marlin caught and released * 1 mahi mahi (dorado) caught and released * Multiple yellowfin tuna schools located * 1 additional striped marlin raised but not hooked A rewarding day on the water with quality catch-and-release action, abundant bait, and another memorable adventure in the world-class fishing grounds of Cabo San Lucas. ????

On July 16, we headed to the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas. Just a few miles off Pedregal, we encountered a school of striped marlin actively feeding on the surface. One of the marlin committed to the spread, and after an exciting fight, we successfully brought the fish alongside the boat and released it in excellent condition. Following the release, we changed course and headed east toward the waters off Santa María, where we located an active school of yellowfin tuna. Although the tuna were feeding in the area, they remained extremely selective, and despite several presentations, we were unable to hook one. After working the area thoroughly, we returned to Cabo San Lucas Marina. ⸻ Conditions: * Calm offshore conditions * Active striped marlin on the Pacific side * Yellowfin tuna schools feeding near Santa María * Good blue-water conditions throughout the trip ⸻ Summary: A productive offshore trip featuring: * 1 striped marlin caught and released * Multiple yellowfin tuna schools located * Excellent billfish activity on the Pacific side Another great day aboard ADRENALINA, with exciting catch-and-release marlin fishing and promising tuna activity in the waters of Cabo San Lucas. ????

On July 12, we started the morning targeting smaller game fish, enjoying nonstop action as we landed seven skipjack tuna on a variety of trolling lures, including pink, blue & white, and green patterns. After the steady skipjack bite, we headed toward the Pacific side and deployed our larger trolling spread. Just five minutes later, a striped marlin struck a live horse mackerel (caballito). The fish put on an exciting aerial display, but after a few spectacular jumps and a brief three-minute fight, it managed to throw the hook. We continued toward the reef off the Lighthouse, where the billfish action intensified. A sailfish took a live caballito, and after a thrilling fight, it was successfully brought alongside the boat and released in excellent condition. Only five minutes later, another sailfish attacked another live caballito. Once again, the crew successfully fought and safely released the fish. After an exciting day filled with constant action, we returned to Cabo San Lucas Marina. ⸻ Conditions: * Excellent Pacific-side conditions * Strong bait presence around the Lighthouse reef * Active sailfish and striped marlin * Steady skipjack action throughout the morning ⸻ Summary: An action-packed offshore trip featuring: * 7 skipjack tuna landed * 2 sailfish caught and released * 1 striped marlin hookup * Outstanding Pacific-side billfish activity A fantastic day on the water with nonstop action, multiple billfish releases, and plenty of rod-bending excitement in the legendary waters of Cabo San Lucas. ?????
