Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

What is wahoo fishing in Cabo San Lucas all about?

In Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, wahoo are a prized gamefish sought after by anglers for their lightning-fast strikes and powerful runs. These sleek and voracious predators inhabit the offshore waters of the Baja Peninsula, offering anglers thrilling battles and memorable catches. Wahoo are known for their distinctively long, slender bodies and razor-sharp teeth, making them a formidable opponent for even the most experienced fishermen.

One effective technique for targeting wahoo in Cabo San Lucas is high-speed trolling with colorful lures or rigged baits. Anglers venture offshore aboard specialized sportfishing boats equipped with powerful engines and top-of-the-line tackle, covering expansive areas of water in search of wahoo hotspots. Skilled captains and crew members utilize their knowledge of ocean currents, temperature breaks, and underwater structures to pinpoint the best spots for wahoo fishing. By trolling at high speeds, often exceeding 10 knots, anglers create a commotion that attracts the attention of these fast-moving predators, increasing their chances of enticing a strike.

Furthermore, wahoo are commonly found near underwater structures such as seamounts, ridges, and drop-offs, where they lie in wait to ambush passing prey. Anglers can also target wahoo by jigging with metal jigs or vertical speed jigs in these areas, presenting an enticing offering that mimics the movements of fleeing baitfish. With their powerful runs and fierce strikes, hooking into a wahoo provides anglers in Cabo San Lucas with an exhilarating fishing experience and the chance to reel in a prized trophy from the depths of the Pacific Ocean.

Anglers flock to Cabo San Lucas year-round in pursuit of these elusive gamefish, drawn by the excitement and adrenaline of wahoo fishing.

High-speed trolling is a favored technique among anglers targeting wahoo in Cabo San Lucas. Specialized sportfishing boats equipped with top-notch gear and experienced crew members venture offshore, cruising at speeds exceeding 10 knots while dragging colorful lures or rigged baits behind them. Skilled captains rely on their knowledge of underwater structures, temperature breaks, and current patterns to navigate to prime wahoo hotspots. By creating a commotion on the water's surface, anglers attract the attention of these fast-moving predators, increasing their chances of enticing a strike.

Moreover, wahoo are often found near underwater structures such as seamounts, ridges, and drop-offs, where they lurk in wait for passing prey. Anglers in Cabo San Lucas can also target wahoo by jigging with metal jigs or vertical speed jigs in these areas, mimicking the frantic movements of fleeing baitfish.

What techniques are popular for catching wahoo in Cabo San Lucas?

Fishing for wahoo in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, demands a combination of skill, strategy, and specialized techniques to successfully target these fast-moving predators. One highly effective method is high-speed trolling, where anglers venture offshore aboard sportfishing boats equipped with powerful engines and top-of-the-line tackle. Trolling at speeds exceeding 10 knots, anglers drag a spread of colorful lures or rigged baits behind the boat, creating a commotion on the water's surface that attracts the attention of wahoo. Skilled captains rely on their knowledge of underwater structures, temperature breaks, and current patterns to navigate to prime wahoo hotspots, maximizing the chances of enticing a strike.

Additionally, anglers targeting wahoo in Cabo San Lucas often focus their efforts near underwater structures such as seamounts, ridges, and drop-offs, where these predators are known to congregate. Jigging with metal jigs or vertical speed jigs can be a productive technique in these areas, as anglers mimic the frantic movements of fleeing baitfish to entice wahoo to strike. By dropping their jigs to the desired depth and employing a rapid retrieve, anglers create an irresistible presentation that triggers aggressive strikes from wahoo.

Furthermore, anglers can increase their chances of success by employing a variety of trolling strategies, including spreader bars, daisy chains, and bird teasers, to attract wahoo in Cabo San Lucas. These techniques involve deploying an array of artificial lures or rigged baits in strategic patterns behind the boat, simulating a school of baitfish or a fleeing prey item. By experimenting with different lure colors, sizes, and configurations, anglers can dial in on the preferences of wahoo and optimize their chances of landing a prized catch. With their lightning-fast strikes and powerful runs, wahoo fishing in Cabo San Lucas promises anglers an exhilarating and rewarding offshore experience.

What other species are popular in Cabo San Lucas?

In addition to targeting wahoo, anglers exploring the waters of Cabo San Lucas have a diverse array of species to pursue, ensuring an exciting and varied fishing experience. One notable catch in these waters is the striped marlin, a prized gamefish known for its powerful runs and acrobatic displays. Striped marlin are abundant in the offshore waters surrounding Cabo San Lucas, particularly during the warmer months, offering anglers thrilling battles and the opportunity to reel in a trophy-sized catch. Trolling with rigged baits or live baitfish is a popular technique for targeting striped marlin, with experienced captains guiding anglers to prime fishing grounds where these majestic creatures are known to roam.

Another sought-after species in Cabo San Lucas is the yellowfin tuna, renowned for its speed, strength, and delicious flesh. These pelagic predators inhabit the offshore waters around the Baja Peninsula, particularly near seamounts, underwater structures, and areas of upwelling. Anglers often employ trolling techniques with colorful lures or live baitfish to entice yellowfin tuna, with the excitement of hooking into one of these powerful fish adding to the allure of fishing in Cabo San Lucas.

Moreover, anglers visiting Cabo San Lucas can also target species such as dorado, sailfish, and roosterfish, among others. Dorado, also known as mahi-mahi or dolphinfish, are vibrant and acrobatic fish commonly found near floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures. Sailfish, known for their incredible speed and acrobatic jumps, provide anglers with thrilling battles offshore. Roosterfish, with their distinctive appearance and aggressive feeding behavior, offer exciting opportunities for inshore fishing adventures along the rocky coastline of Cabo San Lucas. With its wealth of species and diverse fishing opportunities, Cabo San Lucas promises anglers an unforgettable fishing experience on the Baja Peninsula.

    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...

    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.

    Trip: Cabo Offshore Drag-Ripper

  • ★★★★★
    We had a blast with Captain Jorge and Alex. Started the morning off with coffee and breakfast tacos as we headed out in search of Mahi off the Pacific side of Cabo. Caught a couple of keepers and some smaller tuna, then took our fresh Mahi over to Alexanders right across from the marina where they cook the fish a few different ways. Definitely recommend hopping on any of the trips Jim and team offer!

    Trip: Cabo VIP Fishing - 32’ Luhrs

  • ★★★★★
    Highly recommend. Everything was explained very well by the owner in an email before the trip (where to go, what to bring) and ended up catching a trophy Mahi! Had the fish cooked fresh at Alexander’s 4 different ways at the marina afterwards. Capt. Julio and Jorge have been fishing these waters for over 20 years and are very knowledgeable. We will be booking again very soon for marlin season. Thank you again!

    Trip: Cabo VIP Fishing - 32’ Luhrs

  • ★★★★★
    Another great Captain Experiences trip in the books! While the seasonal timing wasn't the best, this was top notch as always and very up front about catch expectations. The crew worked tirelessly to put us on some fish and succeeded in getting us in some Dorado. This was a family trip aimed at exposing fishing newbies to the experience and spending time together on the water. Success all around! As the saying goes, "There is no such thing as a bad fishing day". Huge shoutout to the impeccable crew, equipment, and service. This was my second trip with these guys, and I will definitely be back!!!

    Where do I begin…AMAZING! From the moment we boarded it was 5 star. Captain David was a true pro and the guides were talented, friendly, and made the whole experience next level. I’ll never forget this day! Shark ✔️ Marlin ✔️ & we got to meet a sea lion. Not to forget the countless dolphins putting on a show and a breathtaking whale breach. Exceptional. Highly recommended.

    Trip: Cabo VIP Fishing - 32’ Luhrs

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Casey was very professional and knowledgeable. His 2 crew were very experienced, and his boat is a fishing machine. On our full day charter we experienced bad weather and had to cut the trip short. A minor leak in a tranny hose kept us from traveling at full speed on our return to the marina, so it took a little longer than expected. Casey offered us a free half day trip the following day, which i thought was a very professional way to handle this. Based on our short time in Cabo we couldnt take him up on this, so he reduced my fee to a half day charter. Again a very professional way to handle this. We didnt catch the fish we hoped for, but i have no issues with booking with Casey on my next trip to Cabo.

    Trip: Cabo Trophy Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Having fished all over North America, I can say without a doubt that this was the easiest & most successful fishing venture I've ever been on! The awesome staff at Captain Experiences helped me understand which charter out of Cabo would be best for my group, and Captain Raul & his team led by Captain Pepe over delivered! We caught plenty of fish including some massive yellowtails, spent the sunrise watching enormous whales breach the surface, and wrapped up the day with some fresh sashimi from our catch. We had first-time fishers and lifelong anglers on the boat and everyone left in fantastic spirits! Looking forward to doing it all again on our next trip to Cabo!
