Panga fishing is most popular around the Island. Now that summer is coming up, summertime is great to fish for big fish such as roosterfish , dorados and groupers. 

The Island is right in front of El Sargento town which has become very well known for kite fishing as they frequently have very strong winds that attracts many kite surfers from around the world all year around.

Wahoo

If you want to get your hands on the big biting Wahoo, now is the time! Wahoo reigns throughout the waters of Baja from October to December. We recommend looking around the reefs or the old wrecks because Wahoo love to cluster around the spaces where small fish are abundant. However, Wahoo is one of the biggest fish in the area and is fascinatingly fast! They also know how to put up a great fight in front of their hunter. You need to invest in some heavy-duty equipment to get the hang of the beautiful creature.

Marlin

Marlin is known as the heaviest sports-fishing capture throughout the world. It’s one of the most popular game fish that also one of the fastest in the sea. The good news is that striped marlin swims around the coasts of Baja all-yearlong! If you’re trying to aim for blue marlin, you’re still in luck because the blue beast is expected to hang around till the end of November. Marlin fishing is an equal treat to watch. Veteran fishermen will agree that marlin is known to put up a spectacular fight. They run fast, dive deep, and leap high! They’re known for their vicious pull, which leaves an adventurous fisher to yearn for more.

Roosterfish

Roosterfish are known to be picky and is a bucket-list species for a saltwater angler. They’re available in small quantities throughout the year but become abundant from June to October. Roosterfish is incredibly popular because it’s found in the shallower coastal waters of Baja. The fish also tastes great and has a robust, savory flavor.
