Fishing Reports

Cabo Fishing Report: September 4th - Sep
Cabo Fishing Report: September 4th - Sep
Sep 11, 2025 Cabo San Lucas
Current Fishing Conditions in Cabo San Lucas: ? ? Hot Action Off Cabo! ? This week, Cabo San Lucas continues to deliver outstanding offshore action! Billfish are showing up in strong numbers from the Gordo Banks to the Iman spots, off the 95, 1150 and offshore from the lighthouse in Cabo San Lucas with sea temps holding steady around 80 - 86ยฐFโ€”perfect conditions to stay on the bite. Anglers are also getting into spread out football-sized yellowfin tuna, chunky dorado, and the occasional wahoo, adding some real variety and excitement to the mix. Nowโ€™s the time to gear up, rally the crew, and get out thereโ€”conditions are prime, and the fish are chewing! โ˜€๏ธ Perfect Weather in Cabo This Week! ? Cabo San Lucas is delivering ideal conditions for fishing and outdoor fun, with warm, sunny days and calm seas creating the perfect setting to get offshore or soak up the sunshine.โ€ข Daytime Highs: Holding steady around 32ยฐC (90ยฐF)โ€ข Nighttime Lows: Mild, averaging 26ยฐC (79ยฐF)โ€ข Rainfall: Some scattered showersโ€”minimal precipitation expectedโ€ข Sunshine: 10โ€“12 hours of bright sun dailyโ€ข Sea Temperature: Holding above 29ยฐC (84ยฐF), great for pelagicsโ€ข UV Index: Extreme (11+), so sunscreen and shade are mustsโ€ข Winds: Light and manageable, averaging 16โ€“22 km/h (10โ€“14 mph). There is a possible storm forming south, we could see it affect the weather by next monday. Forecast currently shows it will remain offshore. Species Highlights: ? Marlin Report โ€“ ? Striped marlin action remains hot this week, with reliable surface bites continuing from the 950 to off the arch and off lighthouse. Warm, stable water pushing in from the Sea of Cortezโ€”hovering around 84ยฐFโ€”is holding plenty of bait, keeping marlin active and within reach for local crews. Charters are seeing consistent hookups on both rigged dead bait and trolled lures, with early morning runs producing the best results. Staying alert to bird activity and bait movement has been the difference-maker. If youโ€™re chasing billfish, nowโ€™s a great time to be on the waterโ€”conditions are lined up just right. โšก Wahoo Report โ€“ ? Wahoo brought some early-week excitement, with a few solid fish landed around the Horseshoe to off the lighthouse. The action was short-lived, though, as a shift in water temps and bait distribution seemed to quiet things down midweek. The bites that did happen came on deep-running Rapalas, Nomad-style lures, and rigged baits worked below the surface. While the pace has slowed, the door isnโ€™t shutโ€”those willing to grind it out and cover ground still have a shot at one of these high-speed predators. Stay sharp and be ready when the opportunity strikes. ? Dorado Report โ€“ ? Dorado activity is on the rise this week, with more consistent bites coming in around the Gordo Banks and Iman areas, riding the same warm currents holding marlin. Anglers targeting billfish are picking up quality mahi as a bonus, especially on trolled lures and bait presentations. While weโ€™re not seeing peak numbers just yet, the uptick in action is a promising sign that the season is starting to build. Keep an eye on floating debris and bird activityโ€”both have been solid indicators for dorado this week.. ? Tuna Report โ€“ ?๏ธ Yellowfin tuna gave anglers a pleasant surprise this week, with a school popping up just a few miles offshore. About a dozen football-sized tuna were landed in the flurry, signaling a potential shift in the bite. These fish have been hit-or-miss lately and mostly out of reach, so this closer push is a welcome development. While itโ€™s too early to call it a full comeback, itโ€™s definitely worth keeping your eyes peeledโ€”more mid-range tuna action could spark up fast if conditions hold. ? Roosterfish Report โ€“ inshore ? Roosterfish action has seen a slight uptick this week, with more consistent bites coming in just off Pedregal and along the nearby beaches. While most fish are still on the smaller side, theyโ€™re providing some exciting light tackle action for anglers working live mullet or sardines. Itโ€™s a great inshore option for those wanting to stay closer to land while enjoying fast-paced, visual fishing right in the surf zone. Perfect for a half-day trip or a change of pace from the offshore scene. Notes: The veteran crews at Fin Chaser Sportfishing are locked in and making the most of this weekโ€™s favorable offshore conditions. Striped marlin are feeding aggressively and staying close, with steady action around the Gordo Banks and Iman thanks to warm currents holding bait. Weโ€™re also seeing a stronger push of mahi-mahi in the mix, along with a few wahoo still lurking for those willing to put in the effort. Adding to the variety, a surprise school of football-sized yellowfin tuna popped up just 14 miles off the Gordo Banks, giving anglers another exciting target to chase. With dialed-in tactics and deep local knowledge, our team is ready to get you on the bite and deliver the world-class Cabo fishing experience weโ€™re known for. Weekly Tips: Early Departure: Gett
