Inshore Roosterfish Search & Light-Tackl

Striped Marlin Landed – Marlin & Wahoo Action (November 2) DESCRIPTION On Monday, November 2, ADRENALINA 2.0 departed Cabo San Lucas Marina at 6:00 AM for a 6-hour fishing charter, initially heading toward the Sea of Cortez. We began trolling approximately 3 miles offshore, running a spread that included two short trolling lures, two long feather lures, two short natural baits, and two long natural baits. Upon reaching the waters off Cabeza de Ballena, approximately 5 miles offshore, we changed course toward the Pacific side. The crew continued searching for fish about 4 miles from the coastline, working a zigzag trolling pattern to cover more water. While passing the Rinconada area near the Lighthouse, we experienced our first marlin strike of the morning. The fish was successfully hooked, but during the fight, it jumped and managed to throw the hook. We continued trolling along the Pacific coast, searching for additional billfish activity. Approximately 2.5 miles offshore near Las Bombas, another marlin struck our ballyhoo bait rigged with a planer. This time, the crew successfully hooked and landed a striped marlin, bringing the fish in for photographs. Following the catch, we turned around and began making our way back toward Cabo San Lucas. While passing the Lighthouse Bank, we experienced one final strike when a wahoo attacked our cocinero bait, cutting it in half without getting hooked. ADRENALINA 2.0 returned to Cabo San Lucas Marina at approximately 11:50 AM, completing the trip with one striped marlin landed, one marlin lost during the fight, and an additional wahoo strike.
