The dream of fighting a big fish haunts all fishermen.  An exhausting fight lasting for hours, the thrill of experiencing the power that suddenly surges from the ocean depth and tantalizes you with excitement - these are some of the ingredients that make the fishing in Cabo San Lucas a memorable experience for sea anglers of all ages and levels. Renown for the abundance of big-game fish and year around superb fishing, Cabo San Lucas & Los Cabos fishing charters boast a number of international fishing records. Due to the fact that there are more striped marlin caught within a radius of twenty miles of Cabo San Lucas all year round, this area is known as the marlin capitol of the world. Dorado (mahi-mahi), wahoo and yellowfin tuna are plentiful and don't be surprised if you have one jump right into your boat! Catch and release is the name of the game for marlin fishing and other troy fish. Mahi-mahi and tuna can be kept.

Cabo San Lucas Fishing A fishing trip to an exotic destination such as Cabo San Lucas requires planning, preparation and research. Our charters consist of two kinds of fishing boats: the pangas which are very big row boats with outboard motors providing few amenities or you might consider a cruiser which is a modern fiberglass boat providing shelter from the sun and includes bathroom facilities, staff, meals and electronic fish finding gear. Luckily, getting the most of that investment and making sure the fishing adventure goes smoothly is often just a matter of asking the right people the right questions. At Cabo San Lucas Villas we have done all of the planning and research, and are prepared to address any of the questions that may arise prior or after your fishing trip. Providing good service during our fishing trips is critical. The ability to catch fish is one thing, but it is not something that can be controlled. What can be controlled is the quality of the fishing equipment and the conditions on the boat. We realize that most of our clients appreciate a well-rigged boat and the professionalism of our fishing crews. 

Cabo San Lucas Fishing TunaWhether your preferred method of fishing is trolling, casting, or drifting, whether you prefer fishing with artificial, live or cut baits, whether you are after marlin, mahi-mahi, or yellowfin, the knowledgeable crews of Cabo San Lucas fishing charters make your fishing experience a memorable one. There are charters for half day outings, full day or multi day fishing excursions with on-board living accommodations. Please contact us at Cabo San Lucas Villas and we’ll help you to arrange an enjoyable fishing outing on your next visit to Cabo San Lucas or Los Cabos. Our fleet of sport fishing or leisure charters on boats or yachts range from 31' on up to 120'.

"There is a common saying or hope- among anglers 
that any time spent fishing is not deducted from one’s allotted 
life span. If so, there are an extraordinary number of 
opportunities all over the world to keep a sportsman 
busy and to postpone the inevitable, perhaps forever..."

Cabo San Lucas Weekly Fishing Report
 

March 25th To March 31st, 2005
BILLFISH: Another surprisingly good week here in Cabo, with a nice mix of striped marlin, dorado and tuna to keep anglers busy, as well as several wahoo. Water temperatures crept up to as high as 75 degrees in some places, giving credibility to the story we heard of a huge blue marlin that had spooled three different charter boats and that is still out there. This is not to say that every day was great, we did have a couple of days when half the boats got “skunked”, but we ended up with a respectable eighty-seven percent overall catch success rate for all species combined. Quite a few boats had triple marlin days, such as “Valerie” on March 25th, 18 to 20 miles off of San Jose. March 28th was lucky for David Hope from Jamaica Plains, Ma. and Peter Willsher from Woodbridge, CT aboard “Andrea” they released three striped marlin and also boated a wahoo and a dorado, 25 miles directly south of Cabo. “Yahoo” closed out the month with three stripers and a dorado too, for a group from Buffalo, NY. Other boats had one or two stripers, with most caught on the Cortez side. The size of the fish was good; with some as big as 190 lbs. Live bait was most effective. Thirty-two percent of boats caught marlin giving us a total of thirty-seven stripers of which 35 were released.

OTHER SPECIES: Yellowfin tuna catches were a little better than marlin, percentage wise at thirty-five percent, but number wise much better. Some boats caught twenty or more of football size fish, giving us a tally of 240 tuna this week. They were pretty consistent throughout the week with the better catches on the Pacific. Dorado catches slowed a little this week, down to twenty-three percent of charters catching fish in the 20 to 40 lb class, with the best location between Land’s End and the Old Lighthouse. “Ni Modo” caught a huge 380 lb hammerhead shark on March 29th, for Jerry Brand from Lafayette, Indiana. Several wahoo were caught in the 40 to 65 lb class, all on lures. Once again, lots of large squid, up to 50 lbs. Inshore sierra and skipjacks.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: Fair seas, clear sunny skies.
LOCATION: San Jaime on the Pacific to San Jose on the Cortez.
AVERAGE WATER TEMP: 71 F
BEST LURES: Live bait, green/yellow, feathers, cedar plugs, black/purple.

Mercury/WON Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot November 3-6, 2004
CABO SAN LUCAS - In case you haven't been paying attention, last year's Tuna Jackpot Tournament paid out $425,000 to five teams. This year, with a new $5,000 mega optional jackpot on the board, the money could be spread out among even more boats.
"What's truly amazing is how ways there are to win in this event," said Jackpot Director Kit McNear. "Because there are so many teams entered that are at different economic levels, you can have the eighth biggest fish over two days and still win $30,000 to $100,000. It's bigger and better than ever for prize money and prizes."
The Outdoor Channel will again be filming for the third year in a row for a television show to be aired in January. Pete Gray of Let's Talk Hookup will be at the Hotel Hacienda for a live broadcast on Saturday morning, plus there will be local media on site for the what is now the largest fishing tournament in Baja and the biggest tuna event in the world.
