Inshore Roosterfish Search & Light-Tackl

On the afternoon of August 2, ADRENALINA 2.0 departed Cabo San Lucas at 12:05 PM for a 4-hour fishing and snorkeling trip. Approximately 2 miles off the Cabo San Lucas coastline, we deployed a trolling spread consisting of four artificial lures: purple and Petrolero in the short positions, and Flying Fish and red-and-black lures in the long positions. We also ran a dead Bulito bait short and a live caballito long. The action came quickly. At approximately 2 miles offshore, a sailfish attacked the live caballito. While the sailfish was taking the bait, a striped marlin simultaneously struck the short Bulito bait, creating an exciting double billfish hookup opportunity. Unfortunately, neither fish stayed connected, and both managed to throw the hooks before we could bring them alongside the boat. After the offshore action, we changed gears and headed toward El Balconcito, where the guests spent approximately two hours snorkeling and enjoying the beautiful waters of Cabo San Lucas. We returned to the marina at 4:00 PM, completing a fun combination of sportfishing and snorkeling. Summary: * 1 sailfish hooked on live caballito – lost * 1 striped marlin hooked on dead Bulito – lost * Simultaneous sailfish and striped marlin action * 2 hours of snorkeling at El Balconcito * 4-hour afternoon charter * Boat: ADRENALINA 2.0 Although the billfish escaped this time, having a sailfish and striped marlin attack the spread almost simultaneously made for an exciting afternoon before finishing the trip with snorkeling in Cabo’s crystal-clear waters. ???

On August 2, ADRENALINA 2.0, captained by Rubén López, departed Cabo San Lucas at 6:00 AM for a 4-hour morning fishing charter. We headed south and, at approximately 6:30 AM and 3 miles offshore, deployed our full trolling spread: red-and-black and purple short lures, a Flying Fish and Tigrillo on the long positions, plus a short rigged ballyhoo and a long live caballito. At approximately 5 miles offshore, we encountered a large pod of dolphins that stayed alongside the boat for nearly 25 minutes. Despite the promising activity, we couldn’t generate a strike. We continued south until reaching approximately 6 miles offshore near El Tule, where we turned around and began trolling back toward Cabo. Then, just when it looked like the morning might end without a catch, everything changed. Only 2 miles from the entrance to Cabo San Lucas Bay, a group of three sailfish suddenly attacked the spread almost simultaneously. Two went after the trolling lures while the third attacked the caballito. We successfully hooked two sailfish at the same time—one on a trolling lure and the other on the caballito. After two exciting fights, the crew brought them alongside one at a time. The guests were able to take photos before both sailfish were successfully released. We returned to Cabo San Lucas Marina at 10:05 AM, ending the trip with an incredible last-minute double. Conditions: * 4-hour morning charter * Offshore trolling from Cabo toward El Tule * Dolphin activity approximately 5 miles offshore * Strong sailfish activity close to Cabo on the return Summary: * 2 sailfish caught and released * 3 sailfish attacked the spread simultaneously * Double sailfish hookup * 1 sailfish hooked on a trolling lure * 1 sailfish hooked on live caballito * Both fish successfully released * Captain: Rubén López * Boat: ADRENALINA 2.0 An incredible finish to a 4-hour trip aboard ADRENALINA 2.0. After working hard all morning, three sailfish showed up just two miles from the bay and turned the final minutes into an unforgettable double sailfish catch-and-release. ????

On the morning of July 30, ADRENALINA 2.0 departed Cabo San Lucas at 6:30 AM for a 4-hour fishing charter, heading toward the San Jaime area. At 7:05 AM, we deployed our trolling spread consisting of two rigged dead baits and four trolling lures: a short Petrolero, short Chihuili, long Coca-Cola, and long blue-and-pink lure. About 30 minutes after setting the spread, one of the long lures—the Coca-Cola lure—was hit by a mahi mahi (dorado). After a fun fight, we successfully landed an approximately 8-pound dorado, which the guests decided to keep for dinner. We continued trolling for another hour without additional bites. Unfortunately, three members of the group became seasick and requested to return to the marina earlier than scheduled. We arrived back at Cabo San Lucas Marina at 9:30 AM, wrapping up the trip with a fresh dorado and another enjoyable morning on the water. ⸻ Conditions: * Calm morning conditions * Good blue water offshore * Trolling with dead baits and artificial lures * Fishing grounds near San Jaime ⸻ Summary: A productive morning aboard ADRENALINA 2.0 featuring: * 1 mahi mahi (dorado) landed * Approximately 8 pounds * Caught on a long Coca-Cola trolling lure * Kept by the guests for dinner Despite the trip ending early due to seasickness, the crew delivered a successful catch and another memorable Cabo fishing experience. ???
