We finally got to go fishing a few days after helping our community as much as we could to get back on track after the impact of the Cyclone Lidia.
The Anglers that were originally scheduled to fish with us these past few days were not able to fly into town due to bad weather, so we got on board Tailcheaser 45ft Cabo flybridge for 3 days to check if the fishing grounds were still producing as much as they were before the big storm strike our town.
On the first day we went in search of the blue water on the sea of Corte. Since the water in shore has been dark green and cloudy, we started by going out to the horse shoe bank. Once we got there, the water changed to a nice blue color, and so we started trolling some lures along with teasers to rise some marlins.
After a few hours we caught and released a sail fish, right after that we made the decision to look for dolphins to catch yellowfin tunas. We stated trolling a bit faster with cedar plugs looking out into the ocean with binoculars in search of birds or dolphins. Thats how we spent about 5 hours without any luck. Since it started getting dark we decided to change our course heading towards Cabo, but still trolling and searching for the dolphins with out losing fate.
It got to the point where we got all the lines out of the water and started running back home, but on our way back we saw a big school of dolphins feeding so the Captain Julian Liquidano guided the boat to the front of the school while Captain Jobe got a live bait and cast it right in front of the school. Not even a minute after he cast the live bait PUUM! We get a real strong strike and the fight was on.
Chuck Beaker and Valerie Hudson took turns for about 45 minutes to reel in a 229 pound yellowfin tuna with a small Shimano Talika 16 that had a 50 pound test line with an 80 pound test leader.
So in our three fishing day trips, we managed to catch a few small yellowfin tunas, a few good size dorados, we caught and released 2 sailfish, 3 blue marlins, 2 striped marlins and we scored big with the 229 pound yellowfin tuna.
The water inshore has been getting better every day, so we predict that with in a week or so it will be great for dorados and tunas.
Preparing for Deep Sea Fishing Adventure in Cabo – What You Need to Know
So you’ve chartered a luxury yacht and are all set to sail for your sport fishing adventure in Cabo San Lucas! Whether it’s your very first time or your tenth time, it’s crucial to go over a checklist of all you’re going to bring, and keep in mind what to expect.
The Essentials
You’re going to be spending a considerable amount of time out on the yacht; bearing that in mind, here are some of the essentials you won’t want to forget to pack:
Sunscreen: You’re going to be spending a lot of time out in the sun, so give your skin the protection it deserves!
Hat: A hat will keep the sun out of your eyes, particularly when it’s time to catch some game.
Medicine: Seasickness is an issue that might arise, so pack up that Dramamine for when you might not be feeling too hot. Other essential pain medication is also recommended just in case.
Camera: You’ve got to have something to capture all those fond memories with!
Cash: You’re likely to need to purchase bait or pay other fees and tips.
Snacks: The yacht will have its own, but you’re free to bring your own stash.
Ice Chest: You’re going to need something to keep the fish you catch in once it’s time to head back in your car.
Fishing License: Every individual over the age of 12 needs to have a fishing license in Mexico, so don’t forget this very important document!
What to Leave Behind
Don’t go troubling yourself with things you really don’t need to bring along! Things like all the basic fishing gear is certainly something that the charter sport fishing vessel will provide, and the kind of fish you’ll be dealing with will be taken into consideration in this regard. From rods to navigation technologies, your yacht charter service will be able to provide all you need.
The Right Wardrobe
Don’t forget to dress appropriately! Layering is ideal in this scenario, as it can get much cooler on the open seas than it is on land. Weather is also a factor to take into consideration—you never know what kind of turn it might take, so it’s best to be as prepared as possible.
Take along a hoodie or a sweatshirt for warmer temperatures, but if the weather is going to be cooler, then it’s best to get some more layers to cover up with. Ideally, your shoes should be full coverage ones, so leave those flip flops behind! Deck boots or rain boots are really the best option.

And the bite hasn’t slowed down a bit !! For the last three days, fish bite has been even better.
This last three days we caught so many dorados and small yellowfin tunas 3 miles of from the light house that our success rate has climbed all the way up to 99% on these two species.
We were catching blue and black marlin 7 miles off of the Cabo San Lucas arch, but it slowed down within that area. We started fishing a bit more out of the Punta Gorda bank, and it has been paying off with having landed over 150 pound yellowfin tunas along with black and blue marlin.
So the choice is all yours, you can ether get onboard a small fishing boat and fish close to the light house for a nice number of dorados and football size yellowfin tunas or, get on a bigger boat and run to Punta Gorda or, troll for small tunas on your way there so that by the time you get there, you can troll your football size tunas and hopefully land a record breaking marlin or a 200+ pound yellowfin tuna.
The weather is a bit humid during the day, but in the morning and into the evening, it has been cooling off to about 78 degrees. The wind is really cooperating with us since it’s 8kt right at the arch, 7kt at Punta Gorda, and 10kt on the Pacific ocean.
Sometimes we don’t have the opportunity or enough time to sit down and type up our fishing reports, but we will always manage to live broadcast off of our Tag Cabo sportfishing facebook fan page so that you can all see what is really happening out there on the water. We strongly recommend Anglers to follow our fan page to keep up with fishing reports in Cabo.
Also, if you are that kind of Angler looking forward to catch a rooster fish and check this off that bucket list of yours, you still have time to do so right now since we are catching them right in shore.
Fishing in Cabo keeps getting better and better! Just when we thought it could’t get any better, we start catching fish in all of our local bancks.
Big game fish are even closer to shore. We have been fishing onboard smaller 20ft Pangas and 32ft fishing vessels with action right in front of the light house where we have been catching a lot of dorados and small yellowfin tunas every day.
We are also catching Stripped marlin, darado and small yellowfin tunas out of the golden gate bank. We recommend bigger boats to go out there since thats out on the pacific side and the wind has been picking up during the day.
Now, we have also been catching some big black and blue marlin 7 miles straight out from the famous arch. We can take you out their on our 32 footers unless you would like to be super comfortable, we always have bigger yachts to accommodate larger groups or anglers with expensive taste.
If you are an experienced Angler looking to get into one of the best sport fishing fights, then we highly recommend getting you all set up and taking you out into the gordo banks. This is where we have been catching many yellowfin tunas and they are all between 80 to 120 pounds, and even a few over 200 pounds here and there.
The weather is great as well, temperature in between low 80s and low 90s, and humidity is not as bad as it was a few weeks ago. The wind has been cooperating with us at 8kt in the Sea of Cortez and 11kt in on the Pacific side.
We strongly recommend you guys to follow our Tag Cabo Sportfishing facebook fan page to keep up with our fishing reports and live broadcast fishing videos. If you would like to know more information please fill out our contact form.
Yesterday we went out fishing onboard our 32ft Striper with Captain Jobe Villabicencio looking for a big blue or black marlin.
Our friend Carlos Gonzales from Fairfield, California came down to Cabo to have a great time with his wife and daughter. After having spent a few days of relaxing and spending quality time with the family, he came onboard with us in search of a monster big game fish!
With the mentality of any pro fishermen, we were looking forward to get a monster fish hook. So we started the day by heading into the local inshore bank were we caught a couple of small yellowfin tunas, a decent dorado, and a couple of bonitas. After that, we headed down towards San Jose del Cabo to the gordo banks, and because the water temperature is around 85 degrees around that area, along with having heard that other anglers were catching big black marlins around that area. So we get there, started trolling a few big lures along with dead bait all the way in the back. After about an hour we get a black marlin striking one of the lures a couple of times, and then vanished back into the ocean. It definitely got our blood pumping and exited to see action around the area were we decided to fish. About 15 minutes later, a small panga fishing around the same area as us got a black marlin hooked and fought that beast for around 30 minutes before the huge black marlin won the battle and got away. Right after that we get a fast and strong strike on one of our lures. We were all happy and hoping that it was a big black marlin, and after fighting it for like 10 minutes we got to see the color. To our surprise, it was a nice big 40 pound wahoo! We were all happy especially, our friend Carlos, since he has never caught a wahoo before and it was actually the biggest fish he has ever caught.
Our weather has gotten even better. The humidity has dropped, wind has been really strong on the pacific side, but the sea of Cortez it has been just like glass.
What we are catching the most is yellowfin tuna and dorado we are catching them 2 miles of from Santa Maria bay. Marlin and wahoo are here as well, but you would have to go out 25+ miles off of shore to find them.
Fishing is great right now down here in Cabo San Lucas. If you have been thinking of fishing down here, now is the time!
We are so fortunate year around down here in Cabo. Although being considered one of (if not THE best) place to fish in the world, that doesn’t necessarily mean fishing is always as great as it is right now. If you’re looking into booking your next fishing trip, Cabo is the place to be!
