FISHING REPORT - July 2026 - Picante Sportfishing
July has come to an end, and it was an outstanding month for tuna anglers in Cabo! We enjoyed some spectacular catches, with Yellowfin tuna in the 100–200 lb range providing plenty of action—and plenty of fresh fish to take home. As water temperatures continued to rise, the Picante fleet also released several impressive Blue Marlin, ranging from approximately 350 to 500 lbs. Striped marlin releases remained consistent, with fish averaging around 150 lbs, while Sailfish activity increased, with many sightings and several successful releases throughout the month. For the dinner table, our guests also brought home delicious Dorado and wahoo alongside their tuna.
Water conditions remain excellent for a summer Cabo fishing adventure, making this a great time to plan your Cabo San Lucas fishing charter. If yellowfin tuna or marlin are on your bucket list, now is the time to book! August and September are among the best months for fishing in Cabo, offering exciting deep-sea fishing opportunities, plenty of marlin action, and a great variety of fresh fish to enjoy. And after a day offshore, there’s nothing better than cooling off with a swim in the beautiful waters of Cabo San Lucas.
