Essentials for a Fishing Trip to Cabo San Lucas: The Beginner’s Guide

Cabo San Lucas offers an ideal spot for deep-sea fishing. Anglers from all over the world travel here to enjoy a fishing experience of their lifetime! The waters of Cabo San Lucas are home to hundreds of different species of fish, which add to the breathtaking beauty of the spot.

If you’re a beginner planning a trip to the deep saltwater of Cabo San Lucas, here a few essentials you need to carry for your fishing trip.

1. Spare Hooks

Carry a variety of fishing hooks with you so you can catch any size of fish. The sizes vary from 32 to 19/0. Make sure you have common sizes available. You wouldn’t want to miss a fish only because you didn’t have the right hook size!

2. Spare Fishing Line

Spare Fishing Line

Tangled and broken fishing lines are the guaranteed fishing disasters in almost every trip. Always carry an extra fishing line. Your fishing line depends a great deal on the type of fishing conditions. Consider carrying a thick and durable line while fishing in rough waters, and a thin and clear line for clear waters.

3. Bobbers

Always carry a bobber for your fishing trip. When a fish bites the bobber, it sinks. This tells you that a fish is nearby and can be lured into the trap.

4. Hemostats

After you succeed in catching a fish, it gets difficult to remove the hook from its mouth.  Hemostats can be used to take out the hook. In case of a large fish, try using pliers.

5. Sinkers

Sinkers are used to compensate for the weight. Hooks and warms do not have much weight to sink deep, which is why you need to attach a sinker with your bait.

6. Shoes

While you do not want to miss anything during your fishing experience, it is important to take care of your safety as well. The fishing activity tends to make the deck very slippery. Avoid walking bare feet, wear shoes that offer stable grip against slippery surface.

7. Sea Sickness Backup

If you’re going on a fishing boat for the first time, keep seasickness medications to deal with uncertain conditions. Avoid eating too much before or during the trip. Stay hydrated and avoid excessive alcohol intake.

8. Sunscreen

Fishing trips can leave sunburns due to the salty and sunny environment. It is important to use a water-resistant sunscreen with high SPF.
