PICANTE FLEET FISHING REPORT
 

Nothing beats October in Cabo: great clients, great fishing, countless releases, high-energy tournaments, million-dollar prizes, and an incredible atmosphere all month long. October left us with a fantastic mix of action. Tuna, Dorado, and Wahoo filled our daily catch charts, along with steady numbers of Striped marlin, Blue marlin, and the always-exciting surprise of Sailfish, we even released two Sailfish in a single day on a couple of our boats. And what a year for big catches and big winnings at the 2025 Bisbee’s Tournament.

November is already shaping up to be another strong month. Stay tuned for that report as we head into the iconic WON Tuna Tournament.

Enjoy the pictures!

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

2023 BISBEE'S TOURNAMENT

Bisbee’s Black and Blue (B&B) and Bisbees Los Cabos Offshore (LCO) tournamentsTWO IN ONE

This year was a very different year as far as Bisbees is concerned, due to Hurricane Norma which hit the area on Friday October 20th night, the organizers decided that it was a great idea to bring together the two largest and most anticipated tournaments of the region in one and thus not having to cancel the LCO, the complaints did not take long to appear because the competition would be high while the time and fishing opportunity would decrease from five days to only two, in the end the teams that stayed joined the excitement of a million-dollar tournament and accepted the designs of Mother Nature, both B&B and LCO tournaments took place on October 26th and 27th… here are the results.
Bisbee´s pays out a Record Breaking $4.4 M Dollar check, the largest single check given out in the tournament’s 43 year history.
