Triple Striped Marlin Release Offshore C

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. ?????

On the afternoon of June 17, we headed toward San José del Cabo, working the 2-mile line parallel to the coast. Just after deploying the trolling spread off Primeras Piedras, a mahi mahi struck one of the lures. Unfortunately, after a brief fight, the fish managed to throw the hook. Continuing along the same course, about 10 minutes later, we hooked a skipjack tuna, which was successfully landed and released. A short time later, a mahi mahi aggressively attacked a blue and white Flying Fish lure, resulting in a successful catch and our first fish on board. We remained in the productive area, making several passes through the spot, where we hooked three additional skipjack tuna, all successfully released. As the trip was winding down, we hooked what appeared to be a shark, but the fish came off before it could be identified and brought alongside the boat. ⸻ Conditions: * Calm afternoon coastal conditions * Active bait and predator activity along the 2-mile line * Consistent action throughout the trip * Productive waters off Primeras Piedras ⸻ Summary: A fun and active afternoon trip featuring: * 1 mahi mahi (dorado) landed * 5 skipjack tuna landed and released * 1 dorado lost * 1 shark hookup lost A great Golden Hour trip with steady action, multiple species, and plenty of rod-bending excitement before returning to Cabo San Lucas Marina. ??????
