Fishing in Los Cabos

Cabo's Warm Waters Offer a Great Abundance Fish ~

A perfect blend of currents, water temperatures and underwater geography make the waters of the Sea of Cortez some of the richest in the world. This is the fishing of legends, with a profusion of big game.The abundance of billfish is perhaps Cabo’s greatest draw, with three species of marlin (striped, blue and the monstrous black marlin) plus the beautiful sailfish found in the area.

But there’s plenty more than marlin in those waters. Varying with the seasons, you’ll find the spectacular (and delicious) dorado in abundance. Enormous tuna, fierce wahoo, yellowtail and the snappy roosterfish are some of the highly desired catches. You’ll also find sierra, jacks, pompano, cabrilla, snook & snapper in the sparkling, pristine Sea of Cortez.

Several significant local tournaments, such as the Bisbee’s Black and Blue Tournament, offer hefty purses and attract skilled competitors from all over the world. Two seamounts rise up from the depths slightly east of San José del Cabo. Known as the Gordo Banks, this area is celebrated as a hotspot of migrating billfish. The sheer size, strength and astounding beauty of these valiant fighters is a siren song that’s been drawing skilled fishermen to the region for decades—even before the thriving tourist industry had taken root in the region.
