Cabo San Lucas this week can expect some excellent catches of marlin, tuna, and mahi-mahi. The water temperature is warm, and the sea conditions are calm, making it perfect for fishing.
The striped marlin bite has been fantastic this week, with boats reporting multiple hook-ups per trip. The marlin are ranging in size from 100-300lbs, and they're being caught using live bait and lures. The best spots for marlin fishing are the Golden Gate Bank and the San Jaime Bank.
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.

We had a great trip With a great crew who was accommodating and worked hard to put us on fish. Caught skipjack tuna and dorado (March is not the best month for fishing in Cabo) but we caught plenty of fish and had a great trip. I’d use this outfit again.

In that I run several hundred charters a year myself I'm pretty sure I understand the difference between a good and a bad day on the water. I went out with Captain Poncho three days in a row and I will summarize all three in this one write up. First of all, these guys can and do catch fish. That they do it without particularly good equipment and virtually no electronics (one boat had a VHF and a GPS/no transducer, another , the panga, didn't have either.), says to me that the fishing is pretty good! On day one my wife was out and we stayed in a lee so she wouldn't get sea sick. The sierra mackerel bite was pretty much non stop and we had our limit in pretty short order. We tried jigging in deeper water but no one was home but on the way back towards the fleet we saw some bait and stopped off for a crazy jack crevalle bite that would have lasted far longer than my arms could take! They were blasting surface plugs in spectacular fashion but would have hit anything you threw at them, they were quite aggressive, We also got a few small skipjacks and small grouper (released) as well. Made Mackerel cevechi for dinner. On day 2 my wife stayed at the apartment and Poncho and I went out in a panga. He used land ranges to put up on a shelf in about 150 ft of water to the east of the marina by about 10 miles. It was pretty windy and rough for that little boat but there were a couple of crazy commercial handliners in the same area in an even smaller boat! We had a few bonito and then Captain Poncho jigged a nice red snapper before I nailed a 55 pound AJ on a Squidtrex with a 25 pound flurocarbon leader. AJ Steaks for dinner was a lot like swordfish. Day 3 Captain Poncho had the center console again and my wife was with us. We went to "the mackerel area" again and we were getting them quite steadily even though there was no live bait available and we were using frozen stuff. It didn't seem to matter to the fish. While drifting for the mackerel I jigged a soft plastic near the bottom (50-60 ft) and got several large sculpins, a couple of triggerfish and a bonito. Kept only the bonito for fish tacos. All in all it was a great trip well taken care of by good people. My only suggestion would be to bring good tackle if you have it.

This was the best deep sea trip I’ve been on. And I’ve been on a lot. These guides knew their stuff and legitimately wanted us to catch fish. Such a hard working knowledgeable crew and it paid off. We came home with every fish I could imagine.

Capt. Juan was great! Beautiful day on the Pacific with jumping whales and striped marlin. The marlin weren't eating but the dorado were, along with a mako. Such a beautiful apex predator built for speed. Crew was awesome and Capt. Juan made it all easy.

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...
