Resumo da Viagem

On May 24, we departed Cabo San Lucas running south. At approximately 3 miles offshore, a mahi mahi struck a ballyhoo bait, giving us an early catch. We then changed course east toward the 95 spot, and after running approximately 2 more miles, we landed a second mahi mahi. Continuing in the same direction, we encountered four striped marlin on the surface, but despite multiple bait presentations, none committed. A few miles later, the offshore activity intensified dramatically as we spotted approximately eight marlin consecutively, including a pair traveling together. Based on earlier behavior and realizing the fish were refusing live bait, we decided to completely change strategies. Using an East Coast-style marlin trolling setup, we deployed: * 5 rigged dead baits (rigger baits) * 2 teasers * 1 dredge teaser system We also reduced trolling speed to approximately 4–5 knots to create a more natural presentation and maximize marlin interest. The adjustment immediately produced results. We had three separate marlin follows, and after several aggressive approaches, we successfully hooked and landed one striped marlin. ⸻ Conditions: * Heavy surface marlin activity offshore * Fish highly selective on live bait * Excellent blue water and productive offshore conditions ⸻ Summary: A highly technical and exciting offshore day featuring: * 2 mahi mahi landed * 1 striped marlin landed * Multiple marlin sightings and teaser follows An excellent example of adapting offshore strategy and using advanced marlin trolling techniques to turn surface activity into a successful catch in Cabo waters.

Double Sailfish Release – Pacific Billfish Action (August 6) Description On the morning of August 6, ADRENALINA 1 headed toward the Pacific side, beginning the troll approximately 2 miles offshore and working parallel to Pedregal. As we reached the waters near the Lighthouse, the action quickly picked up when two sailfish appeared behind our spread at the same time. One sailfish began following a purple Piwi Pakula lure, while the second fish came in aggressively behind our spreader-bar teaser. The crew immediately presented a ballyhoo rigger bait close to the teaser, and the sailfish committed to the natural bait. The crew successfully worked the fish and ultimately completed an exciting double sailfish catch and release, with both sailfish safely released. The guests began experiencing seasickness, so the decision was made to return to Cabo earlier than planned. ADRENALINA 1 arrived back at the marina at approximately 10:00 AM.
