Fishing Seasons
The fishing in the fertile waters off of Cabo San Lucas is truly great all year long. The Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez here and with many offshore underwater canyons and seamounts the water gets very deep very quickly. Our striped marlin population is abundant all year long and have earned Cabo the title of Marlin Capital of the World. February, March and April are favorites for these fish. Dorado, tuna and wahoo are also available at that time. In the summer months when the water warms the dorado and tuna action increases and peaks in the months of August, September, October, and November. The first two weeks of December can also be very good. Every year yellowfin tuna over 200 lbs and dorado over 80 lbs are brought to the dock. Big blue and black marlin migrate in at this time to feed on the smaller dorado and tuna and landing one of these fish in the 400-600 lb class is not unusual. Cabo is famous for it's fall marlin tournaments where total prize money can be over one million dollars!
Releasing your Marlin
It is encouraged by Solmar Sportfishing to release your fish unless it is to be brought in as a trophy (mounted). We will provide you with a beautiful gold embossed release certificate for your marlin. By agreement with the Sportfishing Association in Cabo San Lucas no more than 1 marlin per boat will be brought to the dock. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter in order to preserve this great gift of sportfishing in Cabo in the future.
