As a Hawaiiian born and son of a fisherman I had a rod in my hand from my earliest memories. I fished with my father around the world including the Indian Ocean,Hawaii, Bay of Bengal, Gulf of Siam, West Coast USA. As I became older the attraction of fishing in Cabo San Lucas became my dream, I started in the fleet in 1983, moved to the Cape and never looked back.Its been 34 years of hardcore fishing thruout the Baja Peninsula, Sea of Cortez, and the west coast of mainland Mexico Life is good and we are out again tomorrow!

Ned Glynn5.0Verifiedamazing experience
Half Day Trip – All included • 2 adultsFantastic experience. Great communication and instructions leading up to the trip. The boat was very clean and I loved that you could walk all the way around it. The seeating in the front was a bonus as it was very comfortable and gave great views and fresh air. Captain was very plesant and experienced. We hooked on to a Wahoo while trolling but did not land. We landed a striped marlin using live bait and then landed a second while trolling back toward harbor. Also saw dolphin, turtles and sea lions. Exceptional trip! Thank you!

Response from Charter operatorThank you, Ned! That was an absolutely fabulous day out with you. Sometimes the stars just line up. Gracias! Poli Jorge Casey
Jason KinchRepeat angler4.7VerifiedNEWExcellent crew and boat.
Full Day Trip - All Included • 5 adultsThe capitan and crew worked very hard for a full day they stayed out extra time giving it their best. Unfortunately El Nino weather had the ocean 6ºF warmer than usual for the time of year wich likely had something to do with why we were unable to catch any fish this time. The boat was very comfortable and all our needs and requests were taken care of. The captian Casey is very experienced and had many entertaining stories of Cabo in the past decades.
Response from Charter operatorThank you, Jason! Yes this El Niño season sure has effected our fishing. But it was definitely a great day on the water with you guys! Poli Jorge Casey
Jeff Smith5.0VerifiedNEWGreat Captain and crew
Full Day Trip • 4 adultsOur Captain and crew were great. We opted for the Captain’s wife to prepare breakfast and the home made breakfast burrito’s were great. The included lunch, snacks be beverages we opted for were plentiful and good. Sadly we on landed one 45# sailfish, but that is “fishing!” Anyway I would recommend this boat and crew to all.
Response from Charter operatorThanks so much! We had had a blast with you guys! It was a tough day for sure but thoroughly enjoyable! Poli Jorge Casey
Storrie MorrisRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBIG FISH!!!
Full Day Trip - All Included • 5 adultsBooked a full day with hopes of lots of big fish. Fishing was tough and slow., not going to lie, but thats fishing. saw lots of Whales and Marlin jumping so that was awesome. Got a nice Mahi to the boat that got away, few hours later a nice skip jack tuna. After 6 plus hours we pressed on. Few good bites and all of a sudden, BOOM!!!! Fish on. My 19 year old son took the rod and began the fight of a lifetime. We had hooked a 10ft - 130 plus pound Striped Marlin!!!! Captian and crew are top notch, never quit, and got us on the fish of a lifetime. Boat is excellent, crew is excellent, Captian is first class. 5 Stars,. Would book again everyday of the week if i could. WE WILL BE BACK.

Response from Charter operatorThanks, Storrie! it was definitely a grind but it paid off in the 4th quarter!! That was a fun day!
Chris Harris5.0VerifiedNEWGreat captain and crew!
Full Day Trip - All Included • 6 adultsGreat captain and crew, we only caught one mahi. The seas were warmer than usual and weather made the seas a little rough. The consensus back at the marina is that nobody was catching, we felt pretty lucky catching our mahi. Would book with captain Casey again!
Response from Charter operatorThank you, Phil! Yes this El Niño season is sure making it tough for us down here. But we sure had a great day and scratched on up for dinner! Poli Jorge Casey

What's biting with Picudo Sport Fishing in Cabo San Lucas
The humidity and temperature drop, so you'll want to make the most of it. Don't miss the WON Tuna Jackpot at the beginning of the month, not the chance to land Striped Marlin, Dorado, and Wahoo, among more.

We were first ones out and it was a delight to finally see a calmer ocean. We knew it wouldn’t last long so we took advantage of the time landing 3 nice Dorado and a marlin before 0630! It was a great start to the day. The first one is always the hardest one!! We were fortunate to have a good bite close to shore (2-3 miles) as the wind and swell farther out was shredding big time. We followed the ledge inside the Sea of Cortez and rousted up a fat dorado and another marlin release. As the wind angle changed it started to pound us pretty good. We pounded into busting water and were able to go 1 for 3 on the marlin bites and had another release. Then Mother Nature turned on the fan and it was ripping. We trolled closer inshore getting a few more bites and another dorado in the bag! We finished up our day heading back to the Cape taking some big ones over the bow and blowing spray all yhe way up to ghe flybridge. It was nice to finally pull into the calm of the bay. Matthew and the boys did a fantastic job catching a bagfull of nice dorado and getting multiple marlin releases! And yes we do tag and release the marlin as we’re long time members of the Billfish Foundation! Let em go and let em grow! Anyway it was a fab day on the water despite get shalacked and pummeled for awhile! Another great day in San Lucas! Yarrrr! ?☠️?☠️

The bite that keeps on giving
May 11, 2026 • Cabo San Lucas
As we rounded the corner towards the Pacific side we were greeted by a gourmet sunrise and flat seas. We threw the feathers and ballyhoos in and it wasn’t long before we had smallgame breaking water around us. The reels screamed as the bonitos hit. But here came fat by sea lion to rob us and we only oulled in heads. We turned to leave the ares and bam we were bit. A nice Dorado came in and for some reason the sea lion let us have it. Prolly still chowin the bonitos..So with dinner in the bag we headed offshore and man did it turn on! We ended up 5 for 9 on the Dorado with a couple of nice bulls in there. A nice Mako Shark was a treat too, but we let it go as theyre out of season until the end of July. Todd and the gang had a blast and topped their personal best with the Dorado! So with a nice load onboard we headed back to the marina and were tied up by 10:30. Can’t beat that for a quick halfday! The pristine conditions as well as great people always make for a fab fishing day in Cabo!!

Boston boyz rocked it!
May 8, 2026 • Cabo San Lucas
I knew it was going to be a good day as we drove by the oíd tuna processing plant and saw a school of dorado shredding on the bait! As soon as we rounded the arch and were putting the lines out, a fat dorado smoked the short ballyhoo. And so began an epic day! In the end we ended 6 for 10 with dorsdo up to 30 lbs, 2 marlin tagged and released, and a release on a nice silky shark. Even though we had to bust water in the late morning wind, it was well worth it and the Boston boyz were on their game! Its nice to have the bite back on after a slow couple weeks. This should hold through the next few weeks as our sea temperatures keep creeping up. Fab job, Guys, and another great day onboard Picudo!

Apr 26, 2026 • Cabo San Lucas
We had a great trip fishing with Ali and the boyz from Denver! We headed into the Sea of Cortez and started inshore with light tackle targeting dorado, rockfish, grouper, and snappers. It was little slow but we riusted up a dorado, 14 triggerfish, and 2 mini groupers which we released. We couldn’t get the rock piles to produce so we headed offshore in the late morning looking for larger spieces . About 4 miles out we started to see bait busting and put in some serious time working the area. We had great results picking up a nice dorado and went 1 for 2 on wahoo which was a nice 55 pounder! As we headed back we decided to run up the edge of the canyon and man did that pay off! We picked up a couple of quality dorado to end the day on a great note! Conditions were pristine with sea temps pudhing 80, calm winds, and flat seas! The boyz took their fish to be processed a will be taking home a load if gourmet filets!! Now that was a productive day!!

Summer marlin actiin!
Aug 27, 2019 • Cabo San Lucas
TS Ivo blew past us without consequence, and they finally opened the port. We got a late start, blasted by the Cape Rocks, and busted some water out to the 95 spot. It was time to chase some billfish. Sea temps were in the mid 80s and conditions were perfect. We just barely had the lures, ballyhoos, and teasers in the water when we had a nice one come rippin in on the port teaser! We dropped a couple of live baits back but could'nt dupe it into biting! We made to the 95 and went into full tack mode working the high spot for a couple hours. I turned around looking into the pattern and saw a boil on the stinger long. I quickly grabbed the rod and free spooled the sewed bait ballyhoo back a few feet, set the drag, came up taught, and that fish was hung!! Bart was in the chair and did a great job working the fish. 17 minutes later we released a nice 90-100 lb. Striped Marlin! Nice one, Bart! After the normal congrats we got back to it, raising and hooking another nice one, unfortunately we dumped it after a few minutes. That's fishing! So we opted for a beach run to end the day. We switched over to the 30 set ups hoping for a wahoo or dorado but it was not to be. We headed in after a great day of action. The boys were stoked especially Bart who nailed his 1st marlin. We swung into the harbor, gave Pancho the sealion our extra bait and headed to the slip.And so ended another classic day in Cabo San Lucas! The last I saw of the boys, they were quickly heading off for an late afternoon t-time at the golf course. Gotta love Summer at the Cape! Hard to beat that!! Saludos!!

Cabo Inshore!
Aug 16, 2017 • Cabo San Lucas
We were on a quick halfday with Jim and Meagan so it was a repeat of yesterdays fishing plan. We put the light taclke setups out as we turned north pass the Cape Rocks. Conditions were gourmet with calm seas, 85 degree water, and all around perfect conditions! We couldnt get a bite for the life of us! I was observing the other boats in the area and it seemed no one was gotting bit. We moved back in closer iinto 10 to 15 fathoms and it was an instant bite. The fish had followed the bait into the shallows! Jim was up and had a nice tuna onboard in minutes. We were no sooner back to trolling speed when the reels were screaming! Triple hookup! Meagan was all over it and bagged her tuna, and we dumped the other two.
We noticed the other boats move into the area and after a few more short
bites the fish were down and tight lipped. Boat pressure the last couple of days has really affected the bite. So we switched over to the 30 lb. setups and headed out for dorado and maybe a sailfish. We had a couple of ballyhoos whistlin in the riggers and some choice small lures ripoin in the wake. I saw the rigger bend back and heard the snap as a dorado ripped bigtime on the ballyhoo! Jim was up and had a great fight as the mahi was jumping all over. We got it to gaff and into the boat! After a quick sombrero pic we were back at the troll. We moved out to about 2 miles and continued to work the ledge off the northside of Cabo Falso. We raised a few morevfish but had the rubber hook syndrome. These fish were short biting and it was hard to get the hook set. Even our drop back live baits were being gummed by these golden grabbers! Tough going! We did finally get a couple of dorados and on the troll back in we nailed a blindstrike tuna. The bag was filled but overall it was a tough day to finally get our limits! The moon is growing so fishing should get tougher. Fortunately there is a huge quantity of fish here and we'll still have good fishing. The offshore billfishing is good so theres an option. The Blue Marlin bite well on a full moon!! September continues to be epic! Thanks to Jim and Meagen for a fantastic day out fishing. We cant wait to get back out there!!
