PICANTE FLEET FISHING REPORT
 
Summer is officially here, and so is the incredible fishing in Cabo!

June brought warm, blue waters and with them came an outstanding variety of species. Striped marlin, dorado, and wahoo provided exciting offshore action, while the first yellowfin tuna of the season also began to show up. It was an exceptionally productive month, with many of our charters returning after releasing marlin and bringing home two or even three different species for an unforgettable day on the water—and a delicious fresh dinner to enjoy afterward.

We’d love to welcome you aboard this summer! July is traditionally one of the best months for fishing in Cabo, offering world-class offshore action for marlin, tuna, dorado, and wahoo, along with excellent inshore opportunities for roosterfish, grouper, and snapper.

Book your Cabo fishing adventure today and experience why summer is one of the most exciting seasons to fish with Picante Sportfishing.

Enjoy the pictures!
