There are few places that can compare to deep sea sport fishing off the Baja peninsula.
The waters off of Los Cabos have both an abundance and the greatest variety of species of marlin, dorado, bonito, wahoo, and rooster fish.
Often called the marlin capital of the world, this former retreat of Ernest Hemingway is home to a record breaking number of catches annually, more than 40,000. They size of the individual fish caught range from 100 pounds to over half a ton! But there's more than marlin in these waters. Over 850 species, including dorado, tuna, swordfish, and snapper, compete for a turn at the end of your line.
Not surprisingly, Los Cabos is host to some of the biggest international fishing tournaments, such as the Bisbee, which has paid out over $1 million us, and sportfishing packages here are almost as common as the fish themselves.
Marlin, dorado (mahi-mahi), yellowfin tuna are the big catches here.
Rent a moderately priced 20 to 24 foot panga or a luxury fishing yacht. Charter arrangements can be made in advance through tour operators, local suppliers, hotels and fishing fleets. Half day, full-day or multi-day fishing excursions are easily booked, as are upscale trips offering live-aboard luxury accommodations and gourmet meals.
Los Cabos anglers can expect a full-day trip to cost about $400 per boat, including tackle, bait and food. Half-day trips in smaller boats cost between $80 and $120. Or team up with other single anglers to rent a boat.
