Wahoo and Marlin Bite
Wahoo have been hitting Rapalas and high-speed lures, especially during early morning runs. Most catches are coming from the drop-offs near 1150 and deeper water outside Palmilla. Sizes range from 25 to 40 lbs.
Striped marlin are surfacing mid-morning around bait balls, especially off the ridge between the two points. Live caballito and mackerel continue to produce the best results. We’ve had several successful releases with fish in the 80–120 lb range.
