PICANTE FLEET FISHING REPORT
 

March winds kept things interesting, but still delivered solid results for the Picante fleet. Despite the challenging conditions, we saw good numbers of Striped marlin, along with Dorado and Tuna making their way to the dinner table.

Looking ahead, we anticipate a more favorable April, with warmer water temperatures bringing improved opportunities for Yellowtail, Grouper, and Snapper, as well as the exciting arrival of sought-after species like swordfish and sailfish.

The best fishing spots this March in Cabo were: Mar de Cortez side, 95 spot, Los Arcos, 11:50.

The best bait/lure was Caballito, Mackerel, Ballyhoo, plumas, palitos for Tuna, and marlin lures.

Enjoy the pictures!
