Big Yellowfin Tuna Sightings & Mixed Fis

On the afternoon of August 7, ADRENALINA 1 departed Cabo San Lucas for a 5-hour fishing charter, heading toward the Pacific side. We worked approximately 3 miles off the coastline, trolling all the way toward San Cristóbal before turning around and beginning our return to Cabo. During the return run, while fishing off Barco Perdido, the action finally came when a striped marlin aggressively attacked our rigged bait (rigger bait). After an exciting fight, the crew successfully brought the marlin to the boat, making it the trophy catch of the afternoon. We then headed back to Cabo San Lucas Marina with another successful billfish trip aboard ADRENALINA 1.

On August 5, ADRENALINA departed Cabo San Lucas for a 5-hour morning charter, fishing from 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM. We started trolling east along the coastline (90° heading) using a productive spread of pink, blue-and-white, and green Hoochies, along with mini trolling lures in pink/white, blue/white, green/white, and silver/blue. The action started early when a skipjack tuna struck the spread and was successfully landed and released. Continuing along the same course, off Cabeza de Ballena, we enjoyed a double hookup of skipjack tuna, with both fish successfully landed and released. As we reached Santa María Bay, the first mahi mahi of the morning struck a blue-and-white Flying Fish lure. After a short two-minute fight, the fish threw the hook just before landing. Staying in the same area paid off. Shortly afterward, another mahi mahi hammered a pink Hoochie, and this time it was successfully landed. Moments later, a Pacific sailfish attacked a blue-and-white trolling lure, but after several spectacular jumps, it managed to throw the hook and escape. The action continued when another mahi mahi struck a pink-and-white trolling lure, but it also came unhooked. Just five minutes later, the crew experienced an exciting double mahi mahi hookup. One fish struck a pink-and-white lure, while the other attacked a blue-and-white lure. Both fish were successfully landed, bringing the total to three mahi mahi on board. Before heading back to Cabo, while trolling off Chileno Bay, another skipjack tuna struck a green Hoochie, providing one final fish to end an action-packed morning. ⸻ Conditions: * Calm morning seas * Excellent blue-water conditions * Active mahi mahi along the coastline * Consistent skipjack action * Productive waters off Cabeza de Ballena, Santa María, and Chileno ⸻ Summary: An exciting 5-hour morning charter aboard ADRENALINA featuring: * 3 mahi mahi landed * 2 mahi mahi lost * 3 skipjack tuna released * 1 skipjack tuna landed * 1 sailfish hookup lost after spectacular jumps Another outstanding morning in Cabo San Lucas, with nonstop action, multiple hookups, and a fantastic mix of pelagic species from start to finish. ?????

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. ?????
