Cabo Fishing Report This Week

Cabo San Lucas is in full swing this week, with the waters teeming with life and anglers lining up for their chance to experience some of the most exciting fishing in the world. From striped and blue marlin to dorado and yellowfin tuna, the variety of species is unmatched, and the fishing action has been consistent, giving both first-time anglers and seasoned sport fishers unforgettable days on the water.

Whether you’re booking a family trip, celebrating a special occasion, or chasing your personal fishing record, Cabo delivers world-class experiences. Blue Sky Cabo, with over 13 years of experience, has been guiding guests to the best fishing this week, combining expert knowledge, sustainable fishing practices, and premium service.

Cabo Fishing Conditions This Week

The water conditions off Cabo San Lucas this week have been near perfect. Calm seas, light winds, and sunny skies have created ideal circumstances for trolling, kite fishing, and deep-sea excursions. Sea surface temperatures are hovering between 78–83°F, which encourages fish to feed aggressively and makes them more visible near the surface.

Water Clarity: Excellent, allowing marlin and dorado to spot teasers and lures from long distances.
Currents: Steady, helping concentrate baitfish in predictable areas and increasing strike rates.
Weather: Calm mornings with light afternoon winds, ideal for all types of fishing.

Blue Sky Cabo’s crew uses decades of local experience to track water conditions, ensuring guests are positioned in the areas with the highest probability of action. The combination of these factors has contributed to a week filled with multiple releases, photo-worthy fights, and plenty of happy anglers.

Marlin Fishing in Cabo This Week

Marlin remain the centerpiece of Cabo fishing, and this week has been exceptional. Guests have enjoyed both striped and blue marlin, with multiple releases and photo opportunities daily.

Striped Marlin Action

Striped marlin bites have been strongest in the early mornings, especially around popular hotspots like Golden Gate Bank, The Corrals, and offshore pinnacles. Anglers are experiencing consistent strikes using a combination of teasers, dredges, and live baits.

Average Size: 80–150 lbs, providing thrilling fights that are perfect for photos and videos.
Techniques: Neon-painted PVC pipe teasers, resin-reinforced beer can rigs, and trolling lures mimic schools of baitfish to entice strikes.
Catch-and-Release: Blue Sky Cabo emphasizes sustainability, releasing every marlin safely while letting guests enjoy the thrill of the fight.

Guests this week reported multiple hook-ups in a single trip, making early morning charters especially exciting. The combination of calm waters, clear skies, and expert guidance has resulted in near-perfect striped marlin fishing.

Blue Marlin Highlights

Blue marlin have also been active, although slightly more scattered. Afternoon trips tend to be more productive, as these larger predators patrol deeper offshore waters like the 1150 Bank and areas near Gordo Banks.

Techniques: Long trolling spreads, alternating between teasers and dredges, and live bait presentations have yielded the most bites.
Size Range: 200–400 lbs for trophy blue marlin, offering an adrenaline-filled challenge for experienced anglers.
Success Stories: Several blue marlin releases this week have been captured on Blue Sky Cabo’s drone and GoPro packages, giving guests cinematic footage of their triumphs.

Dorado Fishing in Cabo This Week

Cabo Fishing Report This Week


Dorado, or mahi-mahi, are schooling actively in Cabo waters this week. These colorful, aggressive fish provide fast-paced action and are ideal for family-friendly trips or for anglers seeking multiple catches in a day.

Hot Spots: Floating debris, kelp lines, and surface bait balls are producing the best dorado action.
Average Size: 20–40 lbs, perfect for exciting fights that are also manageable for first-time anglers.
Techniques: Using Squid Nation, Rip N Hoo, Witch Doctor dredges, and custom neon-painted PVC pipe teasers has been highly effective.

Guests aboard Blue Sky Cabo this week have enjoyed catching dorado in rapid succession, often paired with marlin or tuna activity. These fish are aggressive, putting on high-energy displays, jumping, and running across the water, making them a highlight for photographers and videographers alike.

Yellowfin Tuna Action This Week

Yellowfin tuna are in the mix this week, particularly near the 1150 and Gordo Banks. Tuna fishing has produced both smaller “football” yellowfin (20–40 lbs) and trophy-sized “cow” tuna exceeding 200 lbs.

Techniques: Kite fishing with flying fish lures, trolling with live bait, and high-speed spreads have been most effective.
Timing: Mid-morning through early afternoon has proven ideal for hooking yellowfin tuna.
Experience Level: Tuna fishing offers excitement for seasoned anglers and can be tailored for first-timers with guidance from the Blue Sky Cabo crew.

Tuna action this week has been enhanced by active bait schools near the surface, making strikes visible and allowing guests to enjoy spectacular visual action along with the fight.

Fishing Techniques That Worked This Week

This week, guests aboard Blue Sky Cabo have had success using a combination of modern and traditional sport fishing techniques:

Teasers & Dredges:

Neon-painted PVC pipes, resin-reinforced 32 oz. beer cans, and other custom teasers have been extremely effective for marlin.

Dredges like Squid Nation and Lindgren & Pittman lures create the appearance of fleeing baitfish, triggering aggressive strikes.

Live Bait:

Mackerel, small dorado fillets, and locally caught baitfish increase strike probability.

Trolling Patterns:

Alternating between short and long troll spreads allows the boat to cover more water while maintaining a high probability of encountering fish.

Kite Fishing:

Flying fish lures suspended from kites have proven productive for offshore tuna, imitating natural bait movement near the surface.

Marlin Release Techniques:

Circle hooks, proper gaffing methods, and experienced crew guidance ensure sustainable releases and minimal stress on the fish.

Cabo Fishing Hot Spots This Week

This week, Blue Sky Cabo has been focusing on the following prime fishing locations:

Golden Gate Bank: Ideal for striped marlin early in the morning.
The Corrals: Consistent striped marlin activity, accessible for mid-range trips.
1150 Bank: Deep offshore location producing blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, and occasional dorado.
Gordo Banks: Offshore hotspot for trophy tuna and marlin releases.
Kelp Lines and Floating Debris: Surface dorado schools provide action for family trips.

These hot spots are constantly monitored by our crew to provide real-time updates and optimize guest success.

Seasonal Patterns in Cabo Fishing

While this week has been exceptional, Cabo fishing patterns are influenced by the season:

Spring: Peak dorado and striped marlin activity nearshore.
Summer: Blue marlin appear more frequently offshore; tuna schools are active near deeper banks.
Fall: Marlin remain active; dorado and tuna concentrations increase as bait schools migrate.
Winter: Cooler water slows some species, but striped marlin can still be caught near Golden Gate and offshore pinnacles.

Blue Sky Cabo adapts daily strategies based on seasonal and real-time factors to ensure maximum action and guest satisfaction.
