Striped Marlin
Cabo is known as the Marlin Capital. Hence, even if you don’t find any other fish in the water—which is unlikely—you will definitely come across Marlin!
Measuring up to 6 to 8ft a fish, Striped Marlin is known to prey on Tuna. These are super-charged fish that can weigh in between 50 and 300 pounds. Catching a striped Marlin is considered to be the world’s greatest victory among fishers in the International Game Fish Association (IGFA).
Sailfish
This species is a tough one to bait! Sailfish can measure up to an astounding 10ft and 180 pounds. They are known for putting up an incredible fight if caught. The best way to catch a sailfish is to exhaust it before you make the final dash.
Dorado
Dorado fish is known to live in schools. So if you do find them, you’ll find lots of them at once! This multi-colored ray-finned is an impressive catch on the seas of San Lucas. Dorado makes for an incredible meal and can measure more than 6ft, weighing above 87 pounds.
If you use appropriate baits, lures, and fishing techniques, Dorado won’t be a hard catch for you! These fishes live up to only 5–6 years and are always hungry!
Yellowfin Tuna
Yellowfin tunas are a beautiful sight to see. Their skin flickers with a powerful tinge of yellow, blue and gold. If you’re looking forward to baiting a yellowfin tuna, you need to prepare for a big fight!
They make a mouth-watering meal and can measure up to 8ft.
