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

Make sure that you have a good reel, the ones that they provide are slow and old, they make dorado fish hard to reel in, and very difficult when you land a strip marlin. That would be my suggestion, maybe bring your own reel.

We try to book a couple of weeks before the big marlin tournament. Three years ago we hooked up on big tuna and even red snapper. This year (2021) - nothing. San Jose Del Cabo is way nicer than going all the way to Cabo San Lucas. Great golf there too with the best on course tacos ever!

Bring a Cooler, bleed your fish, request plenty of ice on the boat, don't tip til the trip is over...also keep a keen eye on your fish as they leave the boat...there are a ton of opportunities for people to grab one from your wheelbarrow without you noticing

The waters around San Jose were great to fish!! Lots of people, including ourselves, caught fish during our mid-March trip (Tuna, snapper, Marlin). Just to make things even better, there were whales playing everywhere; quite an amazing place. I highly recommend it if you have the chance.

Target the species that are migrating into the area and ask questions to see what bite is hot at the moment

Absolutely, he knows his profession and is very easy to get along with ,it was great fun i will be seeing him again on a longer trip this time

Best time is when waters are warmer as in October, November, December, January....

Go out with a crew that crew that is willing, and able to do everything, but will let you do as much as you can. This way you feel comfortable when it all does happen.

Get an Uber or taxi for early morning fishing. It's a little confusing driving to the marina in the early morning from the hotel strip.

Mahi mahi tastes amazing best fish since I don’t like tuna. oh and they are pretty if you didn’t notice

Keep an open mind, don't let what you want to catch, versus what you do catch determine the quality of time on the water. Because, remember, its all about the tug!

We live in San Jose Del Cabo, it's much easier then driving all the way to Cabo.

Research best times of the year, talk to others who have had success in desired location.
