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

Fishing in Loreto this August was an unforgettable experience! While it was definitely hot, the incredible fishing made it all worth it. The crew did a great job keeping us comfortable despite the heat, providing plenty of water and shade on the boat.The warm weather brought out some amazing fish, and we had a fantastic time reeling in some impressive catches. If you're planning to fish in Loreto during the summer, just be prepared for the heat—but trust me, the experience is absolutely worth it!

Fishing in Loreto is very seasonal - be sure to check what fish are in the area during the time of your visit. If you are hoping for a particular fish species, they may not be around depending on what time of year you are fishing in Loreto.

Dorado, rooster fish, mackerel, and yellowtail are available in December. Small yellowtail you bottom bounce for in an area that can get very large rolling waves on windy days. So know that wind conditions will decide what is possible to go for that day.

Be prepared for the heat index. Drink plenty of water and gatorade. Use spray on sunscreen so your hands don't get slippery and smelly. Fish can smell the sunscreen from your hands when you handle the bait fish.

March is a bit slow. Not good for marlin, sail, dorado, but yellowfin is lots offun,and great tasting.

Don't expect big Dorado or Marlin in April or before. The water just hasn't warmed up enough yet

The weather(wind) can be unpredictable in January, take advantage of a window if you have one. We lucked out, went on a thursday, the wind came up and were unable to go the rest of the week.

A little late for sailfish, a little early for other species. Yellow fin did not cooperate at all. Lol.

Only Yellowtail running during our trip in May if you want to target mahi mahi and sailfish September is better

It was a bit windy so the ride was a bit rough getting to the fishing spot but not bad. Stay hydrated and wear sun protection. It is easy to forget when the fishing is this great.

Go on a calm day and evaluate the equipment before you go. Make sure the captain already has live bait and sufficient lures.

Hire a seasoned local professional to have the best chance to catch fish during that time of year, for the appropriate species of fish in the area.

Be prepared, I was fishing in February, bring a light rain jacket with hood, light weight gloves good sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen

Not the most optimal time to fish on Loreto. Right between yellowtail and dorado migrations. Phenomenal weather though.

If wanting to experience fishing for species other than yellowtail, push for that. Some captains ignore your wishes and still just push fishing for yellowtail

Be ready for some great scenery and fun fishing. Bring a hat, lots of sunscreen, sunglasses, and a long sleeved fishing shirt.

Had a great time our group had first timers and a former comercial fisherman, we had fun and caught fish

Really hot here in September. Would recommend waiting until it cools down in October.

Fishing isn’t as good as August, but it’s good and the weather is perfect. August can be hot!

Fish with Rubio sport fishing they handle everything, license, live bait, lunch and cold drinks.
