Trip Summary
Trip Summary
We were busting water big time as we headed out off the Cape rocks. The winds were puffin good and we were hanging on. We knew the Striped Marlin would be up tailing so we turned downhill and started to burn our eyes. We had the 50 lb. set ups out with some choice lures and a ballyhoo long. We trolled all the way into the Sea of Cortez with no action, and when we got into the lee it appeared we had failed. I turned in towards Chileno to check some smallgame spots and as luck would have it, 1 mile off the beach in flat calm water we were attacked.A Striped Marlin was up thrashing on the lures! It struck the shortflat, dropped back on the long rigger and wreaked havoc, then went long and started to decimate the sewed bait ballyhoo. Top decky Tin had the livebait dropback in the spread in no time and that marlin was all over it!! Hookup!! That marlin shredded some water, jumped all over and then finally settled down. The rest was text book as John worked that fish hard, and 23 minutes later Tin has that leader in his hand! John was stoked as he had just captured his 1st marlin!! Big congrats to John for a job well done. Well we still had a couple of hours left so we slid in tight to the beach to see if we could get something going. We switched ovet to the light 20 lb.tackle and started a chum line. We had squid tentacles on #2 hooks set about 50 feet off the stern. We began to slow troll, chumming with cut bait squid, and it wasnt long befor the reels were screamin! After an hour we were done!! It was nonstop pullin, hookin, catchin, releasin and just having a great time! When it was said and done we had caught 22 Pompano,4 small Snappers, a nice Jack Cravelle, and a few Triggers to round it off! We headed backtowards the marina with bags of filets, sore arms, amd smiles all around! Gotta love Spring in Cabo!!
