Cabo fishing report for week of March 29, 2026
Fishing in Cabo has been very hit and miss these past several weeks. We're also hearing a similar report from a charter operator we know out of La Paz and it is being echoed by the larger Cabo sportfishing flee. Some scattered windy days here hasn't helped, and possibly the full moon as well. We are finding fish, but our crews are really having to search hard for them.
Offshore Action
Striped Marlin
We're boating occasional striped marlin, but overall not seeing a lot of them right now.
Dorado (Mahi-Mahi)
Our anglers are finding some decent size cow and bull dorado, and anglers maximizing their chances with a full day charter are fairing best on the hunt for mahi.
Inshore & Nearshore Fishing
Roosterfish have been biting with some nice size ones in the mix. Anglers are also finding plenty of Siera nearshore, and occasional jacks.
Cabo fishing report for week of February 1, 2026
It was an outstanding start to February for the fleet here at Top Anglers Sportfishing Charters, with excellent conditions and plenty of bent rods both offshore and inshore throughout the week.
Offshore Action
Striped Marlin
Our boats enjoyed steady striped marlin action all week long. Most days saw multiple fish caught and released. The bite was particularly strong 12–18 miles off the beach, where we found active bait and aggressive fish moving through. We had several memorable encounters, including some bigger stripers pushing well into the triple digits.
Yellowfin Tuna
Yellowfin tuna fishing continued to impress. We put our anglers on a wide range of fish, from school-sized 20–40 pounders to much larger tuna in the 150–200+ pound class. The Gordo Banks and surrounding areas were especially productive, with many of our trips landing quality fish for the box while still releasing plenty of others.
Wahoo
The wahoo bite stayed consistent for those willing to put in the time trolling high-speed lures and fishing live bait on the banks. Punta Gorda and Iman Bank produced some standout catches, including fish in the 50–60 pound range, keeping things exciting for our crews and guests.
Dorado (Mahi-Mahi)
The Dorado bite continues to be wide open! Our boats found schools throughout the week, with multiple double-digit fish making it to the deck. On one memorable trip, our team helped anglers nab multiple bulls at around 30 pounds.
Inshore & Nearshore Fishing
Inshore fishing remained solid for light tackle enthusiasts.
-
Sierra Mackerel were abundant along the coast, providing fast-paced action for guests looking to stay closer to shore.
-
Roosterfish are still on fire and we are putting anglers on double digit numbers of them using live bait.
Cabo fishing report for week of January 26, 2026
This past week delivered excellent and diverse fishing for anglers aboard Top Anglers Sportfishing Charters in Cabo San Lucas. Water temperatures held steady in the mid-70s, and generally calm seas, cool mornings, and pleasant afternoons created ideal conditions for both offshore and inshore anglers.
Offshore Fishing Action
Offshore, striped marlin remained the highlight of the week, producing consistent action across multiple days. Many of our boats experienced multiple hook-ups, with fish successfully released after exciting battles at the transom. While striped marlin dominated the bite, there were still opportunities at blue marlin for crews willing to work productive current lines and deeper water. Overall, billfishing remained strong and reliable — a classic winter pattern that Cabo is known for.
Yellowfin tuna were present as well, particularly for boats that ventured farther offshore in search of bait and temperature breaks. Anglers landed several quality fish in the 20–30-pound range, making for great action and excellent table fare. Dorado (mahi-mahi) were more scattered, but we are still catching a lot of bull dorado in the 25-35 pound range, providing fast and colorful action. A few wahoo also made appearances for our anglers trolling high-speed lures and baits.
Inshore & Nearshore Fishing
Closer to shore, the inshore bite remained steady and exciting, especially for roosterfish which is very out of the norm for this time of year. Our inshore boats were easily hooking up roosters in double digit numbers within a few hours with some really nice size ones in the mix. In addition to roosters, anglers found jack crevalle, bonito, and other small game species around structure and bait schools, making half-day trips both productive and entertaining.
Weekly Summary
Overall, it was a well-rounded week on the water for Top Anglers Sportfishing Charters, offering something for everyone — from big-game billfish hunters to families and inshore enthusiasts looking for fast inshore action. With stable conditions and plenty of fish around, Cabo continues to live up to its reputation as one of the world’s premier sportfishing destinations.
