Rated as one of the top places to visit in 2019, Cabo San Lucas is the perfect place to vacation with family and friends.
The sandy beaches, ritzy resorts, and luxury yachts make it a wonderful paradise-on-earth. Watch the early morning sunrise, swim in the cool waters, and fish till your heart’s content!
With over 5000 exotic fish species swimming the blue waters of the Mexican Gulf, it’s no wonder that Cabo is a popular fishing spot.
Here are some of the largest and fastest fish species to be on the lookout while fishing in Cabo.
Black Skipjack Tuna
Hailing from the Scombridae family, the black skipjack tuna belongs to the Thunnini tribe and is a ray-finned bony fish.
The back dorsal fins of the fish alone include a total of 10–15 spines! It has 37 vertebrates with an iridescent blue body and black markings on the back.
Swimming in schools, the black skipjack tuna fish is found in herds that cover several acres of the ocean.
Sailfish
Predominantly blue and gray in color, sailfish are found in colder areas of the sea. The main characteristic of the sailfish is its elongated bill much like a swordfish.
Popularly known as billfish in sportfishing circles, they are easier to catch than others as they readily swim up to attack their prey.
Wahoo – Scombrid Fish
Most popularly known for its speed and high-quality meat, the Wahoo fish is a prize game fish amongst sports fishermen.
Hailing from the Scombridae fish family, it’s similar to mackerels, tuna, and bonito fish. It’s one of the fastest fish in the world with a speed of about 70 MPH.
Most believe that the name was derived from the first person who caught the fish and screamed “Wahoo!” since the fish is a fighter and swims at the speed of light when caught on the hook.
All jokes aside, this species is easily found, not far away from the land.
With an elongated body and blue and silvery scales with patterns of irregular bars, Wahoo is certainly a fish to catch and share with friends and family.
Cubera Snapper
Found mostly in the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, the Cubera Snapper prefers rocky substrates and inhibits areas with underwater reefs.
With the Cubera Snapper found few and far in between the Mexican Gulf, they’re quite the sought-after game fish by anglers in Cabo.
We can’t wait for you to witness the exotic fish in action and catch the year’s hottest bites!
