There really isn't a bad time to take a fishing trip down to Los Cabos or the East Cape of Baja. Different times of the year offer different types of fishing. When marlin, dorado and tuna are scarce, other species like wahoo, yellowtail, cabrilla and other members of the grouper family make for great fishing days. As a rule, the peak fishing season in Los Cabos runs from July through November, a time when the most species of sought after game fish are in the area and on the bite. You can expect wide-open action for dorado, marlin, sailfish, roosterfish, wahoo and yellowfin tuna to make up the bulk of the catch but bottom and structure fishing for grouper and snapper can be good this time of year as well. To dial in on the species that you're after, use the Peak Fishing Seasons Chart to the right. Not all species of game fish are listed on the chart, just the most common or most targeted fish make the list. ARE THE FISH BITING? While our Peak Fishing Seasons Chart is an accurate forecasting tool, it doesn't beat reading about what the fleet is catching right now. Here's a set of links to fishing reports put up by some excellent charter fishing fleets. MINERVA'S CHARTER FLEET REPORT Minerva's a busy gal and only posts reports about every two weeks or so but her reports will tell you what was, is and is expected to happen on the fishing grounds. SALVADOR'S SPORT FISHING REPORT Jim Dillon does a great job of reporting, in fact, some might say he's a bit obsessed as he posts a report daily! PISCES FLEET REPORT Pisces Sport Fishing posts weekly reports. PICANTE SPORT FISHING REPORT Picante has a nice and concise report. CHECKMATE SPORTFISHING Monthly reports and forecasts plus a general overview of the fishing action.
