Fishing info
These are the fish we target on a daily basis
Los Cabos fishes twelve months a year. Here's what runs when, and where we point the bow to find it.
Target species
Striped Marlin
Year-round · peak Nov–May
Cabo is the only place on earth with striped marlin all twelve months. We hunt them with sonar and live bait.

Yellowfin Tuna
Peak Jul–Dec
Porpoise schools and offshore banks hold cows over 200 lbs. Kite fishing is our edge on the big ones.

Dorado (Mahi-Mahi)

Fast, acrobatic and the best eating fish in the Sea of Cortez. Found on floating structure and weed lines.
