Cabo sits where the Pacific meets the Sea of Cortez, making it one of the top sport fishing destinations on the planet. Marlin, tuna, dorado, wahoo, and roosterfish are all in play depending on the season.

Peak fishing season runs October through November for marlin, but there's something biting year-round. Summer brings dorado and yellowfin. Winter has striped marlin runs.
