FISHING REPORT - June 2025 - Picante Sportfishing
This summer season kicked off in Cabo with great action!
Plenty of tuna for everyone and exciting Striped marlin bites kept the fleet busy. We also had several releases of sailfish and roosterfish, thrilling news for anglers targeting these species. While dorado (mahi mahi) were less frequent, the ones we saw were excellent in size—one of our teams even took 1st place in the dorado division in the Pelagic Triple Crown tournament with a 36.2 lb bull!
The best bait/lure was Mackerel, Ballyhoo, Cocinero, plumas, palitos, cedar plugs and marlin lures.
