What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur for the first time?

I shop various boats to fish considering their cost and reviews. This was my first time using this boat. They did not disappoint. Bigger ain’t better, this Captain and Crew made our fishing enjoyable.

Stay in contact with your captain before your experience, dress in layers to remove clothing as it warms up rather quickly, take Dramamine before even getting on the boat (if you are affected by seasickness), and just enjoy and have fun!

I caught my first marlin on my first trip to Cabo (2nd 8hr day). I caught Marlin, Dorado, Yellow fin, and Wahoo. World class fishing, I highly recommend it to fellow anglers. Especially if you're looking for a marlin.

December is a great time of year to fish in Cabo. Not only do you get to land Marlin, Dorado, Tuna, Wahoo, etc. without going to the deep sea, but you also get to watch whales surface and breach while you’re trolling.

I recommend looking at the size of the deck. This particular deck can only accommodate 4 people. My advice, It's the luck of the draw on what captain and crew you are going to get. Last year our experience was great on a different boat. This year we went with a bigger boat (the cabin is what made it bigger not the deck) and the experience was not so great.

This boat and crew were awful. We booked two more trips with different captains and boats and caught 3 Marlin and 7 Mahi Mahi. It wasn't the water, it was the La Paloma that was bad luck and poor fishing.

Make sure you are OK seasickness wise, take appropriate meds. Plus highly recommend a large hat to keep sun off. Also of course sunscreen you are at the Tropic of Cancer sun is very strong. Bring plenty of water etc and snacks.

November is a very good month for beginners to get settled into catching Mahi Mahi. It is an excellent fighting fish that are small enough to figure out the basics of angling offshore. And one of the tastiest fish of all... Take your catch to Captain Tony's and have it prepared 3-5 different ways on the menu.

Unless you go to the finger banks, which are about 40 to 50 mile offshore, you are not guaranteed a Marlin. If that is the species, you’re after, prepared to have patience, and the money to go out that far.

If possible, try different boats and Captains. If at all possible, talk with the actual Captain beforehand for accurate and realistic plannng. FishingBooker twice used ineffective middlemen versus communication with the actual Captain (who will make or break your experience).

Wear sun protection and a sun fishing shirt , long sleeve , for cool comfort , not a cotton shirt. Ice is provided so bring your favorite drinks and food. Nothing like an ice cold drink on a hot day. This boat is wide and stable in swells , compared to other boats. Enjoy yourself and have fun !

Make sure you stipulate what fish you want to catch because they have places that they go to for certain Fish and you have a timeline so make sure if you go from Marlon or selfish. You have to go out a long ways and you need to make sure with the captain, how early you need to leave and try to be there way before then

A fish processor came to the boat and took us to their shop, vacuum packed the catch over night and delivered a 50 pound, airport ready box for us the following morning at 7:00 am, so convenient and reasonably priced. If you have a great trip like we did, tip captain and mate generously, they deserve it!

These guys were just so nice and the fishing experience may not have ended how you would see on tiktok or something crazy, but the men in the ship her all very kind and my first experience deep sea fishin trip was not disappointing

Get yourself a good captain who has good vision. I wish I would have stretched my arms before heading out (I am still sore 2 days after fighting my fish for 1 hour). Be patient and get ready for a fun fight!

This is an awesome place to go fishing. The water 12 miles out was 600 to 800 feet deep. This allows you a lot more fishing on your trip. At 1 to 2 miles out you are already 250 feet deep. Great place and very friendly people.

Fish the full day. 8 hours is a good bet to catch your targeted species. Have about 20 usd for cleaning your catch. I recommend going to a restaurant near the marina to have some of your fresh catch cooked. We got our mahi sashimi, and blackened. We got our bonito grilled. And the grouper was beer battered and fried.

Best Marlin fishing is Aug-Oct. A combo trip for getting dinner & poss trophy is best. Waters can be a bit rough for children, older kids, maybe 14-16+ i waters further from in-shore fishing especially

Research seasons. Unfortunately we had the trip planned and then decided to go fishing. We didn't get into any Mahi Mahi like we would've liked and the marlin were few. If you are coming just for fishing come later in the year.

If you are looking for marlin and such, you may want to look at a longer trip. That being said, it seemed as though we were pretty successful and some of the other boats were not so it may have been a slow morning. Either way, we had a great day, saw some great things and scenery. Thanks again.

Don't expect big fish in February. We had a cold front moving through. This made the weather incredibly comfortable (high mid 70's in the day, low mid 60's at night) but slowed the fishing down. On the upside the whales are everywhere this time of year.

Fished in 2020, 2021, 2022 and in my opinion...the action starts after 11am-ish till the evening. Feels slow in the morning hours, especially if your targeting larger game like Mahi, Yellowtail, Marlin...

We really enjoyed fishing but the sea was a bit rough. Cabo in May-June is changing seasons so the winds are very present. This made the sea a bit rough and for someone who gets motion sick it was a bit much. Just keep that in mind and go fishing in the morning and not in the afternoon if your fishing during these months.

Fishing in March much poorer for Dorado (mahi-mahi). Saw a few boats catching marlin near us (we were not targetting marlin). Caught numerous Bonitos, one small dorado (unusual), one spanish mackerel, and one trigger fish (bottom fishing).

if you want to fish on your Cabo trip , check out the options Before you arrive so you know what you should expect both on prices but also what fish are "in season" and thus most likely to be caught. Also you will be prepared for the "want to go fishing mister" pitches you will inevitably get anywhere you walk in Cabo ....

Don't over do it on the caffeine I know its early but your out in sea and the coffee, or energy drink is going to bounce up and down in your stomach. Second drink lots of water, on a hot day pour water on your head to prevent your self from heat stroke.

bring sunscreen, a good book and some patience... It is offshore fishing "Not Offshore Catching". You will get the bites, just enjoy everything around you for what it is. Blue water good friends and family. When the bite happens, be ready, listen to the crew and captain. HAVE FUN

Pack a light jacket and sunscreen. The temperature was low 60's in the morning and heated up to low 80's mid day. Make sure you have a way of transporting your catch back with you. One collapsible cooler will fit about 50lbs of fish (and is still fairly manageable to transport).

We fished in Cabo in mid May 2019. The first two days were slow but the third day was great. It sounds like the striped Marlin fishing was just starting to get good. The rooster fishing was also good this time of year. Overall a great value for fishing compared to prices for charters at other destinations

Come during a peak season for the fish you want. It is expensive because everyone gets their hand for money in your fishing trip (taxis, resorts, fishing company, fishing license, bait, filleting the fish, freezing the fish, etc....) Not to mention the pressure to catch and release. I love fish and wanted to keep it so we did.
