Mahi Mahi Landed & Wahoo Strike

On June 20, we departed Cabo San Lucas running a heading of 120°, targeting yellowfin tuna offshore. While working our way toward the tuna grounds, at approximately 13 miles offshore, the action exploded with an exciting double marlin hookup. One striped marlin struck a Petrolero lure, while the second attacked a green and yellow trolling lure. After two exciting battles, both fish were successfully brought alongside the boat and released healthy. We continued searching for yellowfin tuna throughout the day, covering several productive spots and reefs, but unfortunately were unable to locate an active tuna bite. Later, upon reaching the 95 Spot, another striped marlin took a live bait, resulting in our third successful marlin catch of the trip. After a solid fight, the fish was safely released. ⸻ Conditions: * Good offshore water conditions * Active striped marlin bite * Tuna grounds showed limited activity * Productive blue water throughout the fishing area ⸻ Summary: An outstanding offshore trip featuring: * 3 striped marlin caught and released * 1 double marlin hookup * Multiple productive offshore areas covered in search of yellowfin tuna A fantastic day on the water, highlighted by nonstop marlin action and three successful releases in Cabo’s world-famous billfish fishery. ?????

On June 19, we departed Cabo San Lucas running a heading of 120°, beginning our troll approximately 3 miles offshore and working toward Calderón Reef in search of striped marlin. The strategy paid off when, approximately 5 miles off Chileno, a striped marlin struck a Green Jack bait. After an exciting 30-minute fight, we successfully brought the fish alongside the boat and released it in healthy condition. Continuing along the same line, we hooked a mahi mahi (dorado) on a ballyhoo bait. The fish was successfully landed and later released. After a productive morning with quality billfish and dorado action, we made our way back to the marina. ⸻ Conditions: * Good offshore water conditions * Active billfish presence near Chileno * Productive bait activity along the Calderón Reef corridor * Calm trolling conditions throughout the trip ⸻ Summary: A successful offshore trip featuring: * 1 striped marlin caught and released * 1 mahi mahi (dorado) caught and released A classic Cabo fishing day with quality catch-and-release action and excellent offshore conditions. ?????

On June 17, we began the trip working 2 miles offshore, running south parallel to the coastline. While fishing off Cabeza de Ballena, we spotted a striped marlin tailing on the surface and pitched a live bait known locally as a cocinero. Despite a perfect presentation, the marlin refused to bite. Continuing south along the same line, off El Tule, the action finally turned on when a sailfish struck a bait and was successfully landed after an exciting fight. We then moved closer to shore, where we experienced a double dorado hookup. One fish struck a Petrolero lure, while the other attacked a pink trolling lure. Both mahi mahi were successfully brought aboard. Shortly afterward, another dorado struck a bait, but unfortunately came unhooked before reaching the boat. ⸻ Conditions: * Good coastal water conditions * Active bait presence along the shoreline * Surface billfish activity throughout the morning * Productive dorado bite close to shore ⸻ Summary: A productive coastal trip featuring: * 1 sailfish landed * 2 mahi mahi (dorado) landed * 1 dorado lost * 1 striped marlin sighted Another great day fishing Cabo’s inshore waters, with a nice mix of billfish action and quality dorado catches. ?????
