Marlin
Our conservation minded crew encourage the release of all Marlin caught from our boat. In the case that you happen to land the Marlin of a lifetime, we can measure the fish head to tail, photograph it, and then release it. Later, you can have a taxidermist in Cabo or in the U.S. recreate it based on the measurement and photo. Let’s do our part in keeping this magnificent apex predator in the ocean for future generations to enjoy.
It is the policy of Los Barriles Sportfishing is to release all Marlin unless the fish was caught during a Marlin specific tournament or if the fish will not survive after being released.
Dorado
Dorado, sometimes called Mahi- Mahi or Dolphinfish are one of the fastest growing fish in the water. They often display spectacular aerial displays, sometimes jumping five or more feet high, the fish often make for a thrilling catch. Dorado can live up to five years, although they seldom exceed four. Males and females are sexually mature in their first year, usually by 4–5 months old. Spawning can occur at body lengths of 20 cm. Females may spawn two to three times per year. Although it may be tempting to keep all of the Dorado you have landed, if it is too small we will set it free.
It is the policy of Los Barriles Sportfishing to release all Dorado under 26 inches.
Rooster
Members of the remarkably powerful Jack family, Roosterfish are a favorite catch amongst both surf-fishermen and inshore anglers. The distinctive seven long spines or combs of the roosterfish normally remain retracted in a deep groove along the fish’s back, but when the fish is excited or chasing bait, the fins rise. With the comb raised to the vertical, the incredible speed and how they maneuver their heavily muscled body, by slashing back and forth, makes the strike on a surface lure or fly lined bait one of the most memorable and incredible experiences of all the game fish.
