Click below for Cabo San Lucas fishing, boating and yacht charters.
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.

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.
