The last week of April brought a string of great days out on the water, with calm seas, clear skies, and crews eager to chase whatever was biting at the 1150 Spot.
On Friday, April 24, 2026, Captain Antonio Bojorquez and crew members Toño, Luis, and Miguel took the 64-foot Viking, La Chingona 2, out at 7:00 am and picked up a solid Dorado in the 20–25-pound range on a curry.
On that same day, the 28-foot Uniflite, Andrea, captained by Jesus R. with Arturo on deck, enjoyed the same smooth conditions and released four Striped Marlin weighing between 82.5 and 120 pounds, all caught on cocinero.
The action continued into Saturday, April 25, when the 35‑foot Cabo Flybridge Bill Collector 4, with Captain Jean Carlo Lopez and Mate Erik Jr., headed back to the 1150 Spot. Anglers Joe and Tali Estrada from San Antonio, Texas, boated a Dorado weighing around 20–25 pounds on curry, adding another highlight to the weekend.
The Tracy Ann, a 31-foot Bertram captained by Fernando with Noe as crew, also reported success with two Dorado between 25 and 30 pounds, caught by a full group of anglers visiting from Islamorada, Florida.
Sunday, April 26, kept the momentum going with perfect 78-degree weather and calm seas. The 31-foot Bertram Rebecca, captained by Jose Ramon Alucano with Raul as crew, headed out with anglers from Salem, Oregon, and returned with three Dorado weighing 15, 35, and 36.5 pounds.
The Ruthless, another 31-foot Bertram captained by Beto Lira with SUPER MARIO on deck, also made the run to the 1150 Spot and landed two Dorado between 15 and 40 pounds with anglers from Twin Bridges joining the fun.
On Monday, April 27, Captain Carmelo and Mate Luis aboard the 29-foot Blackfin El Cazador reported landing a nice Wahoo on a Rapala and releasing a Striped Marlin around 100 pounds for anglers Thomas and Daniel Korinek from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
The 66-foot Viking Friday Bank, with Alex and Mates Saul and Beto, also had a standout day, releasing six Striped Marlin between 100 and 120 pounds on ballyhoo with a group of six anglers on board.
The great conditions held into Tuesday, April 28, when Captain Toño and Mates Luis, Miguel, and Toño Jr. took La Chingona 2 back out and had one of the most impressive outings of the week. Antonio Bojorquez from Cabo San Lucas released twelve Striped Marlin ranging from 60 to 100 pounds and added three Dorado between 25 and 30 pounds, all on ballyhoo.
The 42-foot Bertram Yahoo, captained by Jose Escamilla with Marcos and Esteban as crew, rounded out the day with two Striped Marlin released between 90 and 100 pounds by anglers Adam Burg, Dominic Vani, and Mario Vani, who enjoyed the calm seas and clear skies that defined the week.
With steady weather, cooperative seas, and plenty of action at the 1150 Spot, the final days of April delivered memorable catches for every crew that made the run. From Dorado to Striped Marlin and even a surprise Wahoo, each outing showed just how rewarding the season can be when conditions line up. The mix of experienced captains, eager anglers, and lively waters made for a stretch of fishing that sets the tone for many great trips ahead.
