Fishing Cabo San Lucas is better known for fishing than probably an other town on the planet! The waters off of Cabo, north and west in the Pacific Ocean, and south and east in the Sea of Cortez, are full of life. Without question, is a great place to enjoy 'tight lines'.
Fishing in Cabo is easy! There are plenty of Sportfishing Boats, and reserving a boat way in advance is generally not necessary, (unless there is a big tournament in town). Usually it is a good idea to reserve a boat a day or two before you plan to go out. This locks you into a boat and skipper, plus it allows you to schedule the balance of your vacation around your days of fishing.
Many Baja fishermen come to Cabo to try their luck at the large trophy sailfish offshore, including blue marlin, black marlin, and the like. Over 50,000 sailfish are caught in these waters every year.
Thanks to catch and release, your odds are 1 in 3 of catching a "big guy". Others just want a good fight, and are happy to hook up with a dorado, yellowtail, wahoo, or a roosterfish. And then there are those for whom fishing is just an excuse to get away from home, and who don't really care what kind of fish they catch, as long as they can get out on a boat, drink a few beers, and have some fun! The exceptional thing about Cabo is that it is able to cater to any kind of fisherman, and have all of them going home with a smile on their face!
