Just got back from our trip with Daliken Sportfishing and this report couldn’t be more accurate. The sierra mackerel action was insane—nonstop bites and such a fun fight on light tackle. Huge thanks to the captain and crew for an unforgettable day. Highly recommend booking with them if you’re in San José del Cabo!
We are glad that you had a good day of fishing with our team.
What a fun day! We booked last minute and still managed to hook into some nice sierra mackerel. The ocean was calm, the vibes were great, and we left with fresh fish and big smiles.
Thank you very much for fishing with us
