July fishing: Tuna, Marlin & More in Cabo!

FISHING REPORT - July 2026 - Picante Sportfishing

PICANTE FLEET FISHING REPORT

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.

PICANTE FLEET FISHING REPORT

January delivered outstanding fishing action across the board. Roosterfish fishing was incredible, with great early-morning bites from these hard-fighting shoreline warriors. Release numbers for Striped marlin increased compared to December, and we also saw an uptick in both the number and size of Dorado. Tuna action remained consistent, and several lucky anglers were rewarded with Wahoo.

What can we expect for February? We believe the Marlin numbers will continue, with good chances for swordfish as well. February should also be an excellent time for snapper, grouper, and yellowtail. Contact us and book your fishing trip!

If Finger Banks is on your bucket list, now is the time. We’ve been seeing excellent reports with double-digit marlin days, along with Dorado, Wahoo, and—if luck is on your side—tuna.
