Fishing in San José del Cabo
San José del Cabo is one of the top destinations in Mexico for world-class sportfishing. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-time visitor looking for an exciting adventure on the water, this beautiful coastal town offers incredible opportunities to catch marlin, tuna, roosterfish, and more. In this blog, we share local tips, fishing seasons, and species info to help you plan the perfect fishing trip.
Best Time of Year to Fish
Fishing in San José del Cabo is great all year round, but the peak seasons vary depending on the species. For marlin, the best time is from June to October, while roosterfish are more common between May and August. Our local captains monitor seasonal patterns to guide you to the best spots.
Top Fish Species You Can Catch
The waters of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean are rich with game fish. Some of the most popular species include:
- Blue Marlin – The king of offshore fishing
- Yellowfin Tuna – Powerful and delicious
- Dorado (Mahi Mahi) – Bright, fast, and fun to catch
- Roosterfish – A true inshore trophy
- Sierra and Snapper – Great for bottom fishing
Shore Fishing vs. Boat Fishing
You can enjoy both styles in San José del Cabo. Shore fishing offers easy access for quick sessions, especially early in the morning. Boat charters, however, let you reach deeper waters where big game fish live. We recommend combining both experiences for a full fishing adventure.
Tips for Beginners
If it's your first time fishing, go with an experienced captain who knows the area. Wear sunscreen, bring a hat, and stay hydrated. Our team at Daliken Sportfishing provides all gear and guidance to ensure you have a memorable and safe day on the water.
