PICANTE FLEET FISHING REPORT
 

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.

The best fishing spots this December in Cabo were: El Faro and Los Arcos
The best bait/lure was Mackerel, Ballyhoo, Cocinero, plumas, palitos for Tuna, and marlin lures.

Fishing Report February 2025 – Picante Sportfishing, Cabo, BCS

FISHING REPORT - February 2025 - Picante Sportfishing

PICANTE FLEET FISHING REPORT
 
Cabo Inshore fishing in February was great, those who had Roosterfish on their bucket list have already made it, and not just with one but several specimens in the same day, double digits in some cases. At the beginning of the month we continued to find Tuna and Wahoo. Marlin fishing in February was not as we expected, crews are reporting plenty of marlin but just few bites, what was biting hard were the Makos, which are also released like the Marlin for their conservation. We hope March will be better for those billfish enthusiasts and we are looking forward to the mahi bite which makes fishing a lot of fun. Inshore fishing was also good for Sierra and delicious Yellowtail.

The best fishing spots in Cabo waters this February were: Golden gate, Los Arcos, El Faro and La Herradura.

The best bait/lure were: Mackerel, Ballyhoo, plumas, palitos, cedar plugs and marlin lures.
