FISHING REPORT - December 2025 - Picante Sportfishing
We kicked off the year with great energy, wishing everyone a season filled with health, joy, peace, and plenty of fishing.
We anticipated a strong December on the water, and it certainly delivered. Striped marlin, tuna, dorado, and a few wahoo made consistent appearances, providing great action for our guests. Due to unusually warm water temperatures for this time of year, we also continued to see Blue marlin and Roosterfish, making it an excellent opportunity for anyone with these species on their bucket list. If Cabo is on your radar, now is a great time to book your deep sea fishing charter with us.
Beyond the outstanding fishing, December brings a special holiday atmosphere, and the winter months are even more rewarding with whale sightings, as they arrive in Los Cabos through April.
Contact us today and start planning your 2026 fishing adventure.
