Cabo fishing report for week of January 26, 2025
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.
