FISHING SEASON IN CABO SAN LUCAS

SO WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO GO FISHING IN CABO SAN LUCAS AND THE EAST CAPE OF BAJA, MEXICO?
There really isn't a bad time to take a fishing trip down to Los Cabos or the East Cape of Baja. Different times of the year offer different types of fishing. When marlin, dorado and tuna are scarce, other species like wahoo, yellowtail, cabrilla and other members of the grouper family make for great fishing days.

As a rule, the peak fishing season in Los Cabos runs from July through November, a time when the most species of sought after game fish are in the area and on the bite. You can expect wide-open action for dorado, marlin, sailfish, roosterfish, wahoo and yellowfin tuna to make up the bulk of the catch but bottom and structure fishing for grouper and snapper can be good this time of year as well.

To dial in on the species that you're after, use the Peak Fishing Seasons Chart to the right. Not all species of game fish are listed on the chart, just the most common or most targeted fish make the list.

ARE THE FISH BITING?
While our Peak Fishing Seasons Chart is an accurate forecasting tool, it doesn't beat reading about what the fleet is catching right now. Here's a set of links to fishing reports put up by some excellent charter fishing fleets.

Minerva's a busy gal and only posts reports about every two weeks or so but her reports will tell you what was, is and is expected to happen on the fishing grounds.

SALVADOR'S SPORT FISHING REPORT
Jim Dillon does a great job of reporting, in fact, some might say he's a bit obsessed as he posts a report daily!

SLIPPERY LIZZARD FISHING REPORT
Slippery Lizzard posts a fishing report on their blog and they keep it short and sweet. Archived reports make it a good read.

FISHING HOT SPOTS MAP FOR CABO SAN LUCAS
Here's a quick reference map to the most popular fishing hot spots in and around Cabo San Lucas. On the Pacific side, you have the Golden Gate and San Jaime Banks that provide year-round fishing but are especially well known for a phenomenal striped marlin bite from late October through January-February. The Sea of Cortez has the Gorda Banks, the 1150 and the Cabrilla Seamount which are great during the peak fishing season of July through November with big black and blue marlin and wahoo on the Gorda and big tuna and dorado on the 1150 and the Cabrilla.
