Best Water Temperatures To Catch Marlins in Cabo San Lucas And What They Eat

Cabo San Lucas, located on the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, is a world-renowned fishing destination known for its abundant marine life and stunning scenery. Three of the most prized game fish found in the region are the striped marlin, black marlin, and blue marlin. Understanding the ideal water temperature and what these fish eat is critical for any angler hoping to land one of these prized fish.

Striped marlins are typically found in tropical and subtropical waters and are most commonly caught off the coast of Cabo San Lucas between the months of November and March. During this time, the water temperatures in the region are usually in the range of 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit, which is considered to be the perfect temperature for finding striped marlins. When the water temperature is within this range, striped marlins are more active and will be more likely to chase baitfish, making them easier to catch. Striped marlins are known to congregate in large numbers during this time of year, so anglers who target this species during the winter months will have a good chance of hooking a trophy-sized fish.

Black marlins are typically found in warmer waters, and the ideal water temperature range for finding black marlins in Cabo San Lucas is between 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit. Black marlins are known for their incredible size and strength, and they can be found offshore throughout the year. During the summer months, when water temperatures are in the higher range, black marlins are more active and will be more likely to feed. Black marlins primarily feed on a variety of baitfish, including mackerel, bonito, and squid.

Blue marlins are also typically found in warm waters, and the ideal water temperature range for finding blue marlins in Cabo San Lucas is between 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit. Blue marlins are known for their incredible size and speed, and they can be found offshore throughout the year. Like black marlins, blue marlins are more active during the summer months when water temperatures are in the higher range. Blue marlins primarily feed on larger baitfish such as tuna, mackerel, and squid.

In addition to water temperature and food sources, other environmental factors can also play a significant role in the behavior of marlins. Factors such as water clarity, baitfish concentrations, and ocean currents can all affect the movement patterns of marlins, and skilled anglers will need to take these factors into account when planning their fishing strategy.

Anglers looking to find marlins in Cabo San Lucas should also consider hiring a local guide or charter service with experienced captains who are familiar with the local waters and fishing conditions.

Monster Black Marlin weighing in at a jaw dropping 448lbs was reeled in by semi pro woman Angler Valerie Sutton-Jackson this past Tuesday July 18, 2017 out of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico while on our way out to the East Cape. Captain Julian Liquidano Garcia, Captain Jobe Villavicencio, Captain Eduardo Liquidano, Valerie and Chuck Baker  were set on an adventurous 3-day fishing trip when surprisingly coming across a patch of beautiful blue water, ideal for big game fish! Captain and crew decided to sew up a few bait, set out some teaser lines and troll a bit to see if anything would bite along this area before reaching their final destination. Surly enough just over 45min and we’re hooked on a Blue Marlin! We did not have a chance to weight this catch as we quickly released it after taking a few pictures, but it looked to be about 350lbs (will post pics soon) like 30 minutes after that a striped marlin started going off on one of the teasers so Jobe graved a live bait and cast it right next to the marlin, the marlin went right for it so it was on! Chuck started fighting that lit up marling to release it after about 15 minutes, like about 2 hours  later Julian spotted another striped marlin on top of the water so he told Jobe and got the boat right to it, by that time Jobe was already on the vow with live bait on a hook so he cast it right to it and it was on again for Chuck he fought it for about 20 minutes to release it back in the Ocean, Not even 45 minutes later  a pod of dolphins! Any and every angler’s eyes light up as they come across a nice pod of dolphins as this means big game fish along the area. Captain and crew brought on their best game in search for a trophy fish along this area, thats when they started catching yellowfin tunas, like about 3 at a time so by this time they were all saying to each other how great of a day was when they were not even close to the area they were supposed to go to. A few days back Valerie had mention about how great her fishing experience has been in Cabo and that the only trophy fish she need it to catch to finish her list was a black marlin so the crew told her we will get one for you soon Valerie as they were trolling their way to the East Cape, all of the sudden a huge black marlin starts hitting one of the teasers with it bill, Captain Jobe graved a live bait and cast it right next to the marlin as Captain Julian from the top was reeling in the teaser and thats when the huge black marlin eat the bait got hooked  and the little lady Valerie reeled in this 448lbs Black Marlin trophy fish (featured above) using a Shimano 25 talica in just over 20min! A true accomplishment in the sportfishing industry. Filled with excitement, captain, crew and anglers decided to turn back to Cabo while having reached only 1/4 of their original fishing trip itinerary. Goes to show just how rich in fish and adventure our waters out here in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico can be.

This week we release plenty of striped marlin from around the 95 bank to the 1150, we also found a lot of dolphins around the same areas and with them lots of small yellowfin tunas and some dorados in small numbers but good size, we saw a couple of swordfish out there as well but didn’t get them to take our bait.

In shore fishing it’s still really good with rooster fish and sierras around el tule and Solmar.

The weather has been a bit humid and hot with winds in between 5 to 11kt so it feels really good fishing out there, So if you are heading down to Cabo San Lucas and you are a sport fishing person, you should really go fishing.

Now it’s a perfect time with high % of success every day.
