Pacific Offshore Report – Mahi Landed, W

On May 21, we headed toward the Pacific side, reaching the area in front of the Pueblo Bonito Hotel, where we changed course toward the southeast. Shortly after passing Pedregal, a mahi mahi struck a green and yellow trolling lure, similar to the colors of the Brazilian flag. After a solid fight, we successfully landed the fish. Continuing in the same direction, off the Cabo San Lucas hill area, another dorado hit a ballyhoo bait, but unfortunately came off before landing. On the way toward the 95 spot, we encountered a large school of mahi mahi, with heavy bird activity and flying fish in the area. Several fish aggressively followed the trolling lures but refused to commit. Once at the 95 spot, another dorado struck a blue and white lure with a yellow stripe, but the fish came off just as it reached the boat. Past the 95, we had a violent strike from a wahoo on the rigger bait. With a single bite, the fish cut the bait in half, taking most of the green jack baitfish with it before escaping. During the run back to port, we spotted two marlin on the surface, but both ignored the bait presentations. ⸻ Conditions: * Active offshore bait activity with birds and flying fish * Good water conditions throughout the day * Aggressive but selective feeding behavior ⸻ Summary: An action-filled offshore day featuring: * 1 mahi mahi landed * 3 additional fish lost near hookup/boat * 1 aggressive wahoo strike * 2 marlin sightings A technical Cabo fishing day with constant action, multiple opportunities, and strong signs of offshore life throughout the trip.
