Trip Summary

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 (90ยฐ 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 Marรญa 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. โธป Conditions: * Calm morning seas * Excellent blue-water conditions * Active mahi mahi along the coastline * Consistent skipjack action * Productive waters off Cabeza de Ballena, Santa Marรญa, and Chileno โธป 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. ?????
