Fishing Near Shore

Saltwater fly-fishing offers the ideal opportunity to benefit from the fish living in the coral reef and rocky islands surrounding Cabo. Fishing these incredible habitats can land you prize-winning cubera snapper, jack crevalle, cerro mackerel, roosterfish, and more. Once you find the rhythm of your cast, you'll find yourself battling, fighting, and twisting with your catch, challenging your skills as you win.

Local fishing charters offer the comfort and amenities you might need in addition to tournament quality gear and expert guides. Light tackle fishing will allow you to sit back and give your shoulders and arms a break from fly-fishing as you reel in some big fish. Novice and expert anglers alike will love searching for larger fish offshore, catching grouper, bonito, perch, snapper, carp, and more.

Deep Sea Fishing

Cabo fishing is at its best when you head out to the open sea. Called the Marlin Capital of the World, you can catch these incredible 1,000-pound fish that live in this nutrient-rich water. When hooking a sailfish or striped marlin, your rod and line will bend and the adrenaline rush you experience is like nothing you can imagine. As you brace for the fight of a lifetime, you'll realize this is much more than just reeling in a fish. Sailfish and marlin are pure muscle. Their survival instinct is as mighty as their tails. They power through the water and will thrash to defeat you. You will also find other game fish in these waters, including shark, mahi-mahi, tuna, tarpon, and halibut.

Expert Charters

Your charter captain will make sure you head to the best spots for what you want to catch and the crew will give you the professional gear and advice you need for a successful trip. Most of the crewmembers on these charters are so good at what they do, they've been featured on the Sportsman Channel, ESPN, OLN, and in Sport Fishing Magazine. If you frequent any of these, you may see a familiar face on your fishing charter.
