Sportfishing in Cabo San Lucas

The waters around Cabo San Lucas provide some of the best deep sea fishing anywhere in the world. The location on the tip if the Baja Peninsula is perfect for catching the area's local species of sport fish, including tuna, dorado and a year-round abundance of marlin. Cabo is unanimously hailed as "Marlin Capital of the World" for its outstanding populations of striped, black and blue marlin. A trip to Cabo is not complete without trying your hand at catching the big one! Some of Cabo's more famous fish:

	Black Marlin (Makaira indica) The black marlin can grow up to 750 kilograms (1,700 lb). It is one of the largest marlins, capable of reaching speeds of up to 128 km/h (80 mph).
	Blue Marlin (Makaira mazara) Immortalized in Hemingway's Old Man And The Sea, in which Santiago battles a blue marlin for three days off the coast of Cuba. Females can grow to 1,800 kg (4,000 lbs).
	Striped Marlin (Tetrapturus audax) The striped marlin is the most common billfish found in Los Cabos. The record weight for a striper is 190 kg (430 lb.), with a length of 420 cm.
	Sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) Sailfish are blue to gray in color and have a characteristic erectile dorsal fin known as a sail. With speeds of up to 110 km/h (70 mph), sailfish grow up to 3 m (10 ft) in length and 90 kg (200 lb). in weight.
	Swordfish (Xiphias gladius) Swordfish are large, highly migratory, predatory fish characterized by a long, flat bill. They are the most elusive and the hardest billfish to catch, putting up the hardest fight. They reach a maximum size of 14 ft 9 in (455 cm) and 1,400 lb (650 kg).
	Wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri) The wahoo is one of the tastiest fish caught in cabo, reaching sizes up to 180 lb. It is best known to sports fishermen, as its speed and high-quality flesh make it a prize game fish. In Hawaii, the wahoo is known as ono.
	Tuna (Thunnus albacares) Very plentiful in Los Cabos, the yellow fin is often marketed as ahi, from its Hawaiian name. The yellow fin tuna is one of the largest tuna species, reaching weights of over 300 pounds (136 kg).
	Dorado (Coryphaena hippurus) Dorado is commonly known as dolphin-fish or Mahi-mahi. Mahi-mahi live 4 to 5 years. They are plentiful in Cabo almost year round, providing a very nice eating fish, with record sizes of up to 25 kg (60 lb).
	Roosterfish (Nematistius pectoralis) Roosterfish (or Pezgallo), like most fish in the jack family (besides the amberjack and California yellowtail) it is not considered a good eating fish. They do make great trophies though, reaching sizes of up to 45 kg (100 lb.).

Full Service Charters

All you need is your hat and sunglasses, and we will take care of the rest.

Our charters are available at either a "full service" or a "bare boat" level. If you already have your own fishing licenses, bait and beer, then all you need is the bare boat price. If you would like us to take care of all the paperwork for you and have the boat fully stocked then select the "full service" option. That includes food, beers, licenses, bait; everything but the tip for the crew. If you have any special requests, please let us know. We can find any type of beer available in Cabo.

Conservation of Billfish and Endangered Species

After you catch your fish, ask our captains about vacuum packing the filets or having a trophy made. Take something home to remember the fight. NOTE: ALL trophies these days are made of fiberglass. You can release your marlin and still have a beautiful trophy made.

Slippery Lizzard Sportfishing supports the conservation of billfish (marlin, sailfish and swordfish). Catch and release, if possible. Keep Cabo San Lucas full of game fish. We also strictly enforce the release of all species found on the "Threatened" and "Endangered" lists, as posted by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) on the Red List.
