Fishing Cabo San Lucas

 The Los Cabos region of Baja Sur, Mexico is unique. Cabo sport fishing enthusiasts are gifted with a blue-water paradise where the cooler waters of the Pacific Ocean meet and mix with the warmer, nutrient rich waters of the Sea of Cortez. Noted author and Baja explorer, John Steinbeck, referred to this ocean oasis as "the world's largest fish trap" - and with good reason. 

 Seasonal currents can take our water temperatures into the high 80's. Along with these water temperature changes comes a bounty of planktons and bait fish that in turn bring Cabo phenomenal numbers of pelagic game fish. There are few places on Earth that can compete with the diversity and volume of game fish found in Los Cabos and the sister cities of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. 

 Wondering what you might catch? Take a look at our Cabo Fish Seasons chart. September to January is the time for Black, Blue and Striped Marlin; Sailfish and Swordfish; Tuna, Dorado and toothy Wahoo. Inshore you'll find a rotating offering of fish like Snapper, Sierra Mackerel, Roosterfish and Snook year round. 

 We're blessed to have so many outstanding fishing areas along the coast of Southern Baja. Here's a topographic fishing hot spots map that shows the world famous places we fish.  A typical day could include catching Yellowfin Tuna and Striped Marlin around the San Jaime Bank on the Pacific side , then head close to shore for Dorado within casting distance of the beach. Such days are common in Cabo, says Captain Adrian. “That’s what keeps people coming back to Cabo San Lucas,” he says with a smile.

  Nestled between the Baja California and the Mexican mainland, this truly remarkable body of water is distinguished by its incredibly diverse array of marine life, calm waters, pristine beaches, and unique geology both in and out of the water. Often called the “Aquarium of the World,” the Sea of Cortez is one of the premier diving sites on the planet. It’s also a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site  

Bisbee’s Black & Blue Marlin Tournaments have been taking place in Los Cabos for over 30 years. In 2006 the Black & Blue had its biggest overall cash payout of $4,165,960. This was, and remains, the largest payout in sportfishing history.  It’s five days of organized chaos full of hard-core excitement. The Black & Blue is a once in a lifetime experience you’ll never forget, whether you take home memories or millions
