Ensenada Fishing Seasons

January

Ring in the new year with a fun fishing trip to Ensenada! January is a great month for hitting the reefs to bottom fish for Barracuda or staying in the bay to target Bonito and Kelp Bass.

February

Take your partner on a Valentine’s Day cruise in Todos Santos Bay. While you’re at it, troll a few lines and catch yourself some supper and enjoy a romantic dinner as the sun sets over the bay.

March

Farewell winter and hello spring! March kicks off the sportfishing season with large numbers of Yellowtail coming closer to shore. You can also troll for Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, and Skipjack and Albacore Tuna!

April

Things really start to heat up offshore in April. Now is the time to pick a charter that will take you to the deep to target Mahi Mahi, Yellowtail, Skipjack, and the occasional Roosterfish.

May

The fishing continues to heat up offshore and more fish are thrown into the mix. Expect Mahi Mahi, Barracuda, Yellowtail, and Tuna in the deep. Closer to shore, you’ll find Corbina, Perch, Seabass, and Calico Bass.

June

Offshore fishing will reap lots of great catches in June. Head offshore and go Tuna fishing for Yellowfin and Bluefin or stay within the bay to target White Seabass and Corbina. Your options are endless!

July

July is prime time. Tuna fishing is at its peak, as well as Mahi Mahi and Roosterfish. Marlin and Sailfish join in on the fun as well, so pick an offshore charter to take you deep sea fishing and get ready for an adventure!

August

August is a great time to target Striped Marlin as they tend to show up closer to shore. Other key species will include Albacore, Skipjack, Yellowfin, and Bluefin Tuna, so you can catch 'em all.

September

Target Jack Crevalle in the shallows or head just a bit further and catch Corbina, Seabass, and Roosterfish. Bluewater fishing will see you going after Mahi Mahi, Striped and Blue Marlin, Sailfish, and Tuna.

October

There's no sign of the fishing letting up, with Tuna in abundance offshore Inshore and nearshore trips are great in October as well. Plan a family trip with the kids and catch Croakers, Barred Perch, Corbina, and Seabass.

November

Offshore season winds to a close, but the bay is brimming with delicious fish. You’ll have the chance to target Corbina, White Seabass, Kelp Bass, and Barracuda, and there's still some Yellowtail further out.

December

Things may have cooled down offshore but you can still target Yellowtail and the occasional Mahi Mahi. The Barracuda bite is still hot, so hit the San Miguel Reef for a fun day of bottom fishing.

LAWRENCE N.

Parking and finding the boat was a little tricky, but they called us and gave us assistance. Caught lots of bonitos, nothing else, maybe just due to time of year. We also went in the afternoon, so not the best time. Fishing Captain was a little slow to respond to emails, but eventually was able to communicate with him and make the changes we needed. They had water and chips for snacks, so remember to bring your own cooler and beer :)

My husband and I went out for a 4 hour trip while we were in Ensenada on our cruise stop. We talked to the team and let them know we’d be getting off the cruise ship at 8 am so they adjusted our charter time to accommodate a bit of a late start for the AM trip. We caught a ton of fish and had some amazing ceviche from it on shore. We will see yall next time!

We caught 8 yellowtail and 2 calico bass in 4 hours! I think we got pretty lucky, and the captain was super helpful. He taught us the proper way to troll fish. Then he filet'ed our catch at the port! Very happy with our experience. Although we had signed up for the full day, the half-day AM would have sufficed.
