Deep Sea Fishing

San José del Cabo is in a class by itself when it comes to striped marlin fishing…there are more striped marlin caught within 40 miles of Cabo year-round than any place else. It’s no accident. San José del Cabo is the crossroads for most of the marlin that migrate through this part of the Pacific, and it is home base for a large school of resident fish that never leave the area. The amazing year-round reliability of San José del Cabo’s sport fishing seasons is exemplified by no species more than the striped marlin, one of the world’s most highly prized gamefish.

Other than Billfish, summertime in San José del Cabo is also a perfect opportunity to catch up on your Tuna and Dorado fishing.

The Marlin fishing San José del Cabo is famous for is a year-round phenomenon. The only thing you need to think about is the time of year. Striped Marlin can be found in the slightly colder months, with Blue and Black Marlin appearing as the waters get warmer.

Fly fishing for Stripes is becoming an increasingly popular activity

Bottom/Inshore Fishing

Inshore
Dorado, Rooster Fish, Skip Jack, Jack Crevalle and more.  Finally, Jack Crevalle, locally known as Toro (the bull) is perhaps one of the most overlooked inshore game fish in the area, putting up quite a battle on the fly. December through July is primetime for Toro fishing, which usually averages between 7 and 20 pounds, although 30-pounders are commonly bagged on a good day. Much like offshore fishing, there’s no off-season for fishing the shallows. Resident populations of Black Skipjacks, Bonito and Rainbow Runners are bound to keep you busy on any day of the year.

Bottom fishing
A preferred option among bigger groups or families with kids, bottom fishing tends to be much more engaging and produce higher quantities of fish. Granted, the catch is likely to be pretty small relative to a Marlin, but kids love it all the same. This way, the youngsters get to raise the fish themselves, which is always immeasurably more fun. The rocky outcroppings are a great place for targeting the likes of Snapper (Cubera, Dogtooth and Red), Hogfish or Grouper.

Surf Fishing

Surf fishing is a great way to spend time exploring the coast of Los Cabos and the East Cape.

Beach fishing for corvina, snook, snappers, and halibut with just about any stretch of coastline offers up the chance to catch any one of a number of species including fish that make for good table fare.
