Marlin dorado

Trip Summary

Great day adapting to changing conditions on the water. The colder water has shifted the fishing grounds, so we adjusted our strategy using live bait and ballyhoo, which worked well. We landed two nice dorado and later hooked a striped marlin that gave us a long, hard fight. The marlin was tail-wrapped, making it extremely difficult to recover. Although the marlin did not survive, the meat was donated and nothing was wasted. Our friends Adán and Alfredo chose to honor the catch with a mount to remember this special day, which also celebrated Alfredo’s birthday. Another memorable day on the water, adapting to the ocean and enjoying great fishing with friends.
