FISHING REPORT - May 2026 - Picante Sportfishing
In one word, fishing in Los Cabos this May was INCREDIBLE.
Striped marlin, swordfish, sailfish, bull mahi-mahi, wahoo, and massive roosterfish kept anglers busy all month long. Typically, this kind of mixed-bag fishery arrives in June as summer begins, but warmer-than-usual water temperatures have brought the action early and we’re not complaining!
With sunny days, calm seas, and outstanding fishing both inshore and offshore, summer is shaping up to be one of the best times to visit Cabo. Gather your family and friends, take advantage of our special summer discount, and book your fishing adventure today. The fish are here, and the season is on!
The best fishing spots this May in Cabo: 95 spot, 11:50 and Cerro blanco.
