Double Sailfish Strike Off Santa María

Sailfish Catch & Release – Pacific Offshore Action (October 21) DESCRIPTION On Wednesday, October 21, ADRENALINA 2.0 departed Cabo San Lucas Marina at 6:00 AM for an 8-hour fishing charter, heading toward the Pacific side. We began trolling approximately 3 miles offshore, following a course toward San Jaime. About 6 miles outside the Lighthouse Bank, we experienced our first action of the morning with a double strike. Two fish attacked our spread simultaneously, one hitting the short Petrolero trolling lure and the other striking the long Flying Fish lure. Unfortunately, both fish got away. We continued trolling toward the Los Arcos area until reaching Cerros de Arena, where we turned around and adjusted our course farther offshore, approximately 8 miles from the coastline. While working the waters off Pueblo Bonito, another fish struck the same long Flying Fish lure. This time, we successfully hooked a sailfish and completed the catch and release. That was the final action of the day, and we returned to Cabo San Lucas Marina at approximately 1:45 PM with one sailfish successfully caught and released.

Double Sailfish Release – Pacific to Sea of Cortez Offshore Adventure (October 18) Description On Sunday, October 18, ADRENALINA 2.0 departed Cabo San Lucas at 6:00 AM for an 8-hour offshore fishing charter, heading toward the Pacific side in search of billfish and other exciting game fish. We started the morning trolling a spread consisting of one Rapala, four artificial trolling lures, and two dead mackerel baits. Our initial route took us toward Rancho San Lucas, but despite covering productive fishing grounds, we had no strikes during the first part of the trip. We then turned back toward the Lighthouse, working approximately 4 miles offshore. While passing the waters off Hard Rock Hotel, our patience paid off when a beautiful sailfish aggressively attacked the short dead mackerel bait. The fish hooked up, giving our anglers an exciting battle before we successfully brought it to the boat and completed a safe catch and release. With one sailfish already released, we continued searching for more action, adjusting our course in a zigzag trolling pattern to cover additional water. Approximately two hours later, our second opportunity arrived when another sailfish struck the spread. After another successful fight, we brought the fish to the boat, took photographs, and released our second sailfish of the day. We then continued toward the Sea of Cortez, searching for additional offshore species. While passing approximately 1 mile off Arroyo Sucio, a wahoo attacked our spread. Unfortunately, the fish did not stay hooked, but it provided one final moment of excitement before returning to the marina. We finished the trip with two beautiful sailfish successfully caught and released, making it a memorable day of billfish fishing aboard ADRENALINA 2.0.
