Fishing Report May 2025 – Picante Sportfishing, Cabo San Lucas

FISHING REPORT - May 2025 - Picante Sportfishing

In May, Cabo waters treated us to great catches of Yellowfin tuna and Dorado
In May, Cabo waters treated us to great catches of Yellowfin tuna and Dorado
 

May brought warm weather and excellent fishing conditions along the Sea of Cortez. Our fleet reported dozens of Striped marlin releases, along with solid catches of wahoo, dorado, and yellowfin tuna—perfect for dinner. Although the last weekend of the month saw port closures due to a storm, June kicked off with strong action for striped marlin and dorado.

Summer fishing in Los Cabos is truly rewarding, offering the thrill of marlin releases and the chance to bring home quality fish for the table. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

The best fishing spots this May in Cabo were: 11:50 and Cortez side
The best bait/lure was Mackerel, Ballyhoo, Cocinero, plumas, palitos, cedar plugs and marlin lures.
 
Enjoy the pictures!
