Pacific Side Report – Mahi Mahi Success

We departed Cabo San Lucas at 6:00 AM, heading toward the Lighthouse area. After trolling for approximately 2 miles, we adjusted our course and made our way toward La Herradura. While working the area, a mahi mahi (dorado) struck a Flying Fish trolling lure, giving us our first fish of the day. We then continued toward the 95 Spot, where the bite stayed active. Before reaching the area, we landed two additional mahi mahi, one of them taking a Petrolero lure, bringing our total to three dorado on board. With a great catch already secured, we turned back toward the bay. On the way in, the highlight of the trip arrived when a beautiful striped marlin attacked the spread. After an exciting fight, we successfully landed the fish, making for an unforgettable day on the water. We returned to the marina with a mixed catch and another outstanding Cabo fishing adventure. ⸻ Conditions: * Calm early-morning conditions * Productive offshore waters between La Herradura and the 95 Spot * Consistent dorado activity throughout the trip * Excellent marlin conditions on the return run ⸻ Summary: A highly productive offshore trip featuring: * 3 mahi mahi (dorado) landed * 1 striped marlin landed A fantastic day of Cabo sportfishing with steady dorado action and a trophy striped marlin to finish the trip in style. ????

On June 5, we headed south from Cabo San Lucas, working the 3-mile line along the coast. As we passed Cabeza de Ballena, we spotted a striped marlin on the surface. We pitched a live bait to the fish and made several presentations, but despite showing interest, the marlin refused to commit. We continued working the coastline, trolling parallel to shore all the way to Cerro Colorado, covering productive water and searching for additional activity. On the return run, while fishing off Santa María Bay, a mahi mahi struck a ballyhoo rigged bait (rigger bait). After a solid fight, we successfully landed the fish. ⸻ Conditions: * Good coastal water conditions * Active marlin sightings near Cabeza de Ballena * Productive bait activity around Santa María * Calm trolling conditions along the coastline ⸻ Summary: A steady coastal fishing day featuring: * 1 mahi mahi landed * 1 striped marlin sighted * Multiple live bait presentations A rewarding day on the water, highlighted by a beautiful mahi mahi and exciting marlin encounters along Cabo’s coastline. ???

On June 4, we departed Cabo San Lucas and began the day heading toward the Lighthouse area, where we found early action and successfully landed two mahi mahi (dorado). After putting fish on the boat, we continued our run toward La Herradura, hoping to take advantage of the offshore bite. However, as we moved farther offshore, sea conditions deteriorated significantly. Strong winds and rough seas made fishing increasingly difficult and uncomfortable. With safety and guest comfort as our priority, we made the decision to end the trip early and begin the return to port. ⸻ Conditions: * Strong winds throughout the morning * Rough offshore sea conditions * Challenging fishing environment * Productive early bite before weather worsened ⸻ Summary: A shortened but successful offshore trip featuring: * 2 mahi mahi (dorado) landed * Early action before weather conditions deteriorated * Safe return to port due to rough seas and strong winds Even on challenging weather days, Cabo continues to produce quality fish, and this trip was no exception with two beautiful dorado brought back to the dock. ???☀️
