Yellowfin tuna are also biting well this week, with fish weighing between 20-100lbs being caught. The tuna are being caught using cedar plugs and live bait, and the best locations for catching them are around the San Jaime Bank and the 1150 Spot.
Mahi-mahi, also known as dorado, are also being caught in good numbers this week. They are being found in the same areas as the tuna, and they are being caught using lures and live bait. Mahi-mahi caught this week have been averaging between 10-30lbs, with a few larger fish also being caught.
Overall, the fishing conditions in Cabo San Lucas are excellent this week, and anglers are encouraged to take advantage of the great catches available. With calm seas and plenty of fish, it's a great time to be out on the water.

The fishing in Cabo San Lucas has been excellent lately, with great catches of marlin and yellowfin tuna being reported. Anglers have been having a lot of success targeting these game fish species both inshore and offshore.
Marlin fishing has been particularly productive, with both striped marlin and blue marlin being caught in good numbers. The best fishing for marlin has been offshore, with many charters heading out to the deeper waters beyond the 1,000 fathom line. Live bait and lures have both been working well, and anglers have been having the most success using lighter tackle with a lot of action.
Yellowfin tuna fishing has also been strong, with many anglers reporting good catches both inshore and offshore. Tuna are being caught on live bait, lures, and chunk bait, and are often found feeding around floating debris or schools of smaller fish. The average size of the tuna being caught has been around 25-40 pounds, but larger fish are certainly possible.
Overall, the fishing in Cabo San Lucas is in great shape right now, with excellent opportunities to catch marlin and yellowfin tuna. Anglers looking to target these species should consider booking a fishing charter with an experienced captain and crew, who can provide the equipment, expertise, and knowledge needed for a successful and enjoyable fishing trip.

This trip was incredible! I took my wife out with Yoni and his mate while we were in town for a wedding and we had just about the best day of fishing you can ask for. Yoni speaks perfect English and was super accommodating before the trip via WhatsApp. He had drinks on the boat and brought us some delicious mango bread for breakfast from a local bakery (without us asking for a thing). We set off and after we got past the color change in the water had nonstop action. We went 4 for 4 on some of the biggest sailfish I’ve ever caught and ended with a massive hookup on a marlin right by the boat that jumped off after a short fight. The fishing style is awesome: all teaser fishing with no hooks in the water at all, and you (with help from the guys) pitch bait to billfish right at the boat which leads to some absurd hookups. We had lunch with the guys afterwards at one of the beach restaurants near the marina and practiced our Spanish with them. I couldn’t recommend this trip more.

An amazing trip! 3 couples set out for a 6-hour experience on the Sea of Cortez - we were not disappointed...caught 2 marlins, one of which was the largest catch of our lives at 150 pounds. Jaime was great, he set us up quick and easy. Got our fishing licenses at the marina on the morning of our trip. Coming back again next year...

This was an absolutely amazing trip! The crew was very friendly and entertained all our questions. When we were done, they cleaned the fish, took it to the restaurant and suggested how to best have it prepared. I've never had such fresh fish before. I highly recommend anyone to book with Captain experiences!

Leonardo was fantastic with communication and letting us know the weather. While unfortunately the weather wasn’t good enough for the port to be guaranteed open during our trip, Leonardo did his best to get us out there as safely as possible for 3 different days. I can’t speak for the fishing, but for everything else Leonardo was a 11/10.

Ariel and Alexis were amazing captains. Ariel is completely bilingual and has so much experience fishing for 17 years in PV but also all over the world. He was super adaptive — he worked with us to do a lot of different types of fishing (we trolled, we jigged) and all in we caught almost 40 fish with just two of us!! He also gave us an opportunity to add on a trip to Yelapa where they cooked our fresh fish, and it was not only delicious but such a unique experience. Ariel was super communicative and flexible, too. Would highly highly recommend Ariel to anyone who wants to catch a lot of fish, learn about the area and have an amazing time out on the water.
