Shaun and Alana's Mahi-Mahi Fishing Adventure in San José del Cabo

A Second Day of Mahi-Mahi Fishing During Tournament Season

October 2025 was an exciting time for fishing in Los Cabos, with the famous Bisbee tournament bringing additional activity to the region.

For Shaun and his girlfriend Alana, it was another opportunity to enjoy a private fishing adventure with Exotic Fish Cabo.

Departing from Puerto Los Cabos Marina in San José del Cabo, the couple headed out for their second fishing trip, hoping to experience more of the region's offshore fishing opportunities.

With tournament activity increasing the number of boats around popular fishing grounds, finding productive areas away from the crowds became an important part of the day's strategy.

Rather than concentrating on the busiest locations, the crew explored quieter waters where fishing opportunities remained promising.

The decision paid off.

Shaun and Alana encountered exciting mahi-mahi (dorado) action, bringing several beautiful fish aboard throughout their adventure.

Known for their brilliant blue, green, and golden colors, mahi-mahi are among the most recognizable and exciting game fish found in the waters around Los Cabos.

The couple worked together during the fishing action, enjoying the challenge of landing these energetic fish.

Between the catches, laughter, and shared excitement, the outing became another memorable experience on the Sea of Cortez.

Their adventure also highlighted an important aspect of sportfishing: sometimes, exploring less crowded fishing grounds can make a difference when popular areas are experiencing heavy boat traffic.

For Shaun and Alana, the reward was a successful second fishing trip filled with colorful dorado and memories to take home.
