FISHING REPORT - April 2025 - Picante Sportfishing

PICANTE FLEET FISHING REPORT

This April, the number of Striped marlin releases by our fleet continued to rise. We also witnessed the exciting arrival of Swordfish in the waters off Los Cabos, much to the surprise and delight of our crew and clients. Several catches of this magnificent species were recorded in a single day. If either of these billfish is on your list, now is the perfect time to visit us—May is an excellent month for both Marlin and Swordfish fishing. Yellowfin tuna fishing also delivered outstanding results toward the end of the month, and we anticipate even better Dorado action in the coming weeks.

The best fishing spots this April in Cabo were: 11:50 and 95 spot
The best bait/lure was Mackerel, Ballyhoo, Cocinero, plumas, palitos, cedar plugs and marlin lures.

Enjoy the pictures!
