Cabo fishing report for week of July 19, 2026
The Cabo San Lucas fishing action was outstanding this week, with our crews finding big yellowfin tuna, an excellent marlin bite, and impressive numbers of sailfish.
Big Yellowfin Tuna in the Mix
Large yellowfin tuna were one of the week’s major highlights. Several of our guests battled powerful tuna that tested both their tackle and endurance. These hard-fighting fish provided some of the most exciting action of the week and added another dimension to an already diverse Cabo bite.
Blue, Black and Striped Marlin Action
The marlin fishing continued to impress, with our guests hooking into several big blue marlin throughout the week. These larger blues delivered the explosive strikes, long runs and aerial displays that make Cabo one of the world’s premier big-game fishing destinations.
Striped marlin were also active, giving our anglers additional opportunities to experience Cabo’s famous billfish action.
One of the week’s most memorable moments came when Top Anglers Managing Partner Jason Bailey hooked into a black marlin while personally hosting a group of guests. Encounters with black marlin are always special, and the hookup added another exciting chapter to an exceptional week on the water.
Multiple Sailfish Releases
The sailfish bite was equally impressive. Several of our boats found groups of active sailfish, with some catching and releasing multiple fish during a single trip. Their speed, acrobatics and aggressive strikes created nonstop excitement for our guests.
A Great Week of Cabo Sportfishing
With big yellowfin tuna, blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin and multiple sailfish releases, the week ending July 19 showcased the incredible variety of offshore fishing available in Cabo San Lucas.
Our experienced Top Anglers captains and crews continue to work hard to locate the strongest bite and give every guest the best possible opportunity to experience world-class Cabo sportfishing.
The summer big-game season is heating up, and the coming weeks should provide even more opportunities for tuna, marlin, sailfish, dorado and other prized offshore species.

Cabo fishing report for week of June 21, 2026
Fishing in Cabo continues to deliver outstanding action as summer patterns begin taking hold. Water temperatures have been steadily warming, blue water has moved into many of the offshore grounds, and anglers are enjoying excellent opportunities for striped marlin along with increasing numbers of dorado, wahoo, and yellowfin tuna.
Striped Marlin
Striped marlin remained the star of the show this week. Multiple boats reported seeing several fish throughout the day, with many successful catch-and-release trips featuring one to three marlin. Live bait presentations continued to produce the best results after raising fish on teasers, while trolling also generated steady action. The Pacific side, the 95 Spot, and areas toward San José have all been productive.
Dorado (Mahi-Mahi)
Dorado fishing continues to improve as water temperatures climb. Most fish have been found around floating debris, current breaks, and scattered bait schools. While many of the fish have been in the school-size range, some nice larger bulls are still hitting, and we expect the bite to strengthen throughout the coming weeks.
Yellowfin Tuna
Yellowfin tuna have been somewhat inconsistent, with schools appearing one day and becoming difficult to locate the next. Boats willing to cover water and stay with working birds have found opportunities, although the tuna bite this last week has been less reliable than the marlin action. As water temperatures continue to stabilize, we expect more consistent yellowfin fishing heading into July.
Wahoo
Wahoo continue making their seasonal appearance, providing exciting opportunities for anglers trolling lures. While not every boat encountered them, several crews enjoyed quality hookups this week, and the outlook continues to improve as summer progresses.
Inshore Fishing
Roosterfish remain one of the top inshore targets along Cabo's beaches, with jack crevalle, snapper, and other reef species adding plenty of variety for anglers looking to stay closer to shore.
Conditions
Overall fishing conditions have been excellent. Calm mornings, comfortable seas, and warming water temperatures have created ideal offshore conditions for both experienced anglers and first-time visitors. Bait has been plentiful, and fish activity continues to increase as summer settles into Baja Sur.
Looking Ahead
The next several weeks traditionally mark one of Cabo's most exciting transitions of the season. We expect increasing numbers of dorado, improving yellowfin tuna action, continued excellent striped marlin fishing, and more opportunities for blue and black marlin as larger fish begin moving into the area.
If you're planning a trip this summer, now is an excellent time to get on the calendar. The fish are here, the conditions are outstanding, and some of Cabo's best fishing of the year is just getting started.
