One of the things that attract tourists from all over the world to the waters of Cabo San Lucas is its potential for deep-sea fishing. Cabo’s waters are filled with various species of fish such as Mahi Mahi, Big Tuna, Wahoo, etc., which are all a grand prize to catch.
However, many tourists don’t know the difference between deep-sea sports fishing and shallow fishing. The fish species listed above can’t be found in shallow waters as they don’t swim close to the surface but rather enjoy staying in the deep end.
If you want to go deep-sea fishing, it’s imperative to select a boat equipped with the right fishing gear for deep-sea sportfishing, so you can catch these species of fish. Additionally, you need to find the best spot to make your trip a success.
We’ve compiled a list of the best spots for deep-sea sports fishing in Cabo San Lucas.
Rocks and reefs
Rocks and reefs are the best places for deep-sea fishing, and you’re sure to catch plentiful there. When the sea has strong currents, the fish swim in these structures to protect themselves from the waves.
You can find many fish species living inside rocks and wrecks or swimming around them. If you anchor your boat near rocks or reefs and drop your boat close to the structures, you’re bound to come up with a massive catch.
Navigational towers
Humans have built many sea structures to help them navigate when they’re in the waters. These navigational towers are also helpful to the fish because they offer protection from the strong waves.
To search for the deep-sea fish, you’ll need the right navigation equipment such as a fishfinder or a recreational sonar, which can help you locate where the fish are swimming so that you can drop your bait in that spot.
Sea hills
There are small, natural sea hills and mounts that often get submerged in the waters. These protect fish from sea currents.
The sea hills also have ideal temperatures for fish. As many fish species prefer slightly cooler, darker environments, you’re very likely to find several fish swimming around these mountains at any given time.
Having the right tools when going deep sea fishing is imperative if you want to have a successful trip. Hence, it’s important to charter the right yacht with experienced captains who have the knowledge to take you to the best spots, giving you the best chance at a good catch.
