Fishing is a patient person’s game, but that doesn’t mean you have to idly wait a few hours for a gullible fish’s bite. Anglers can’t control when the fish bite, so they have to adapt. They need to be patient, but they also have to plan.
A well-planned fishing trip can up your catch rate and keep the fish from testing your patience. If you’re fishing in Cabo San Lucas, here are a few reasons to plan a trip between June and November:
The Fish
The best time to catch billfish, particularly Sailfish and Blue or Black Marlins, falls between June and November. While it is possible, though not ideal, to catch the latter two in other months, you’ll be hard-pressed to find even a nibbling Sailfish. If you want to snag a prize-sized Marlin, you ought to hit the sea in October.
Wahoos, Dorados, and Yellowfin Tunas are present throughout the year. However, the best time to fine fish these three falls within the June-to-November season.
The Climate
June to November is the summer season in Cabo San Lucas. The area sees a gradual rise in temperatures from June to September, and then a gradual decline from September to November.
The hottest month is August, but that’s with a daily average temperature of 29 °C (84.2 °F). Moreover, summer winds can further cool the area. You can expect consistently pleasant temperatures from June to November, since the colder extremes fall outside the season.
The area doesn’t experience much rain, and is generally protected from storms by mountainous areas. If the prospect of rough seas deters you from fishing, you should try fishing in Cabo San Lucas. The sea and temperatures remain pleasant, ensuring an equally pleasant fishing experience.
The Captain
No amount of planning will render experience irrelevant. If you don’t know how to respond to problems on the fly, even the best fishing conditions won’t help you. That’s why you need an experienced captain with a sturdy vessel guiding your fishing experience.
We happen to have both. Captain Jobe Villavicencio is recognized in the fishing circuit as a veteran. His accolades include the record for the most Striped Marlin released in the Pacific (197) in one day.
He’s paired with a powerful, 38ft Albemarle yacht. The yacht comes with the latest navigation technology and a private chef! If you charter them, they will ensure a smooth and enjoyable fishing experience in Cabo San Lucas for you.
Fishing has the unique trait of simultaneously being peaceful and exciting, two feelings everyone enjoys. If you want a reprieve from the quarantine gloom, charter our captain and yacht for a memorable fishing experience!
