Bottom Fishing Charters in San José del Cabo – Snapper, Grouper & Triggerfish

Bottom Fishing Charters San José del Cabo

Hands-on reef fishing for snapper, grouper & triggerfish — calm waters, family-friendly and great eating.

Quick answer: Bottom fishing trips run 5 hours (AM 6:10 AM / PM 12:30 PM) targeting red snapper, grouper, triggerfish and more over reefs & structure close to the marina. Boats: 23–26 ft pangas or 32 ft with cabin & shade. Includes private boat, captain & crew, tackle, bottled water & ice. Dock extras: fishing licenses (~$20 USD p/p) and live bait (~$30 USD/boat) when used.

  • Best for: Families, first-timers, food-focused anglers
  • Techniques: Bottom rigs, knocker rigs, jigs on reefs & edges
  • Sea state: Typically calmer than offshore — ideal for kids
  • Keep your catch: Filleting included (tip appreciated)

Tip: Early tide changes and current edges often trigger fast bites on snapper & triggerfish.

Our bottom fishing charters in San José del Cabo focus on productive reefs and rock piles minutes from the marina. It’s a hands-on style where everyone fishes: drop, feel the bite, and set the hook. Great action, great photos, and great table fare.
