Yellowfin Tuna Fishing in Cabo

Peak Jul–Dec

Yellowfin tuna show up under porpoise schools and on the offshore banks from summer into the winter. Football-sized fish keep everyone bent all day; the cows over 200 lbs come from long runs, kite baits and patience. It is the hardest-pulling fish you can hook in Los Cabos, and the best sashimi you will ever eat.
