Best Spots for Deep Sea Fishing

Fishing as a recreational activity is different from commercial or subsistence fishing, which is done for income or survival.  Throughout history, deep-sea fishing has been an economically and culturally significant activity in the United States. It emerged from the Native Americans’ fishing practices combined with those of later immigrants of the USA.

According to a2016 report by Fisheries Economics of the United States, recreational fishing in the US generated $68 billion in sales, of which it contributed $39 billion to the country’s GDP. Various fishing charters in the United States have successfully provided fishing equipment and guidelines to Americans to make the most out of their deep-sea fishing experience.

Cabo, San Lucas, has some well-known fishing spots. At Tag Cabo Sportfishing, we offer one of the best nautical rides to ensure an enjoyable deep-sea fishing experience for you. Contact us today for one of the best Cabo fishing charters.

Here are some of the best fishing spots in Cabo that we highly recommend. We hope you will include these in your fishing plans.

Golden Gate Bank

The Golden Gate Bank is one of the most notable spots for deep-sea fishing. It runs from 15 miles north from the San Jamies Bank. 

The Golden Gate Bank is highly attractive due to its warm waters. The water temperature allows you to catch all sorts of fish, including Black Seabass, Blue Marlin, Dorado, and Yellowfin. The Golden Gate currants have these fish throughout the year.

However, we prefer fishing during early spring or winter in this area. This time of the year offers the fishermen a chance to catch the rare striped marlin.

Finger Bank

If you are up for a challenge, fishing at the Finger Bank is the perfect deep-sea fishing spot for you. The currents of this bank are warm and have striped marlin during winters. Catching the marlin from the Finger Bank can be a hurdle due to its spectacular and agile speed. 

However, people have successfully been able to catch up to 35 billfish in a single day at the Finger Bank.
