You’ve probably spent the rest of the year taking online classes, attending video conferences, and facetiming with friends. Now that the holiday season is right around the corner, it’s a great idea to go fishing—responsibly and distantly! Cabo San Lucas is a great fishing destination, especially in December.
The catch
December is the month of the blue marlin and striped marlin. What makes marlin a popular choice is the fact that it’s enormous and lively! Catching a marlin is a thrilling experience. A huge number of anglers head to Cabo in December, especially for marlin fishing.
Other than that, if you’re lucky, you’ll also run into the stunning dorado. This highly sought-after gamefish is unique, beautiful, and known for its iridescent green skin. Seeing the vibrant green skin right inside the water is a treat to the eyes because the color starts fading when the fish is brought outside. They’re also huge, so you’re in for an intense fight—just what an angler wants. The Cabo waters are also a hot spot for the yellowfin tuna. Thanks to their enormous size and impressive fighting prowess, you’ll be on the line for a long time.
The weather
Thankfully, the cold in December is notably mild, and there are little chances of pouring or a stormy day. The days are warm and sunny, but you’d feel a bit cold in the evening—especially on the seafront—so it’s a good idea to pack up accordingly. This is why December is also a great time to enjoy some warm sea swimming or playing around with those water toys on a rental yacht.
The average high temperature during this time is 77°F (25°C), and the average low temperature is 58°F (14°C). Compared to the rest of the months, the sun is less intense. This means that you can chill out by the gallery comfortably after a long day of fishing.
The added bonus of whale watching
Deep-sea fishing is a holistic experience that entails a lot more than just fishing! While you’re on a yacht, you also want to experience and interact with other exotic species. If you’re lucky, you might even run into a few sharks (if not catch them) since they tend to congregate in shallow water, especially in the winter months.
December is also the ideal time for whale migration to take place. There are thick chances that you’d see these majestic creatures chasing your yacht. Most whale-watching tours also begin from early to mid-December. If you want to spot the magnificent humpback while you’re fishing, late December to late January is your best bet.
