Best Time of Year to Book a Fishing Charter in Los Cabos

If you’re dreaming of reeling in a monster marlin or chasing tuna through turquoise waters, Los Cabos should be at the top of your fishing bucket list. But before you book your trip, you might be wondering: When is the best time of year to book a fishing charter in Los Cabos?

At Epic Ventures Fishing Charters, we’ve been navigating these waters for years, and we’re here to help you plan your perfect fishing getaway based on seasons, species, and sea conditions.

Fishing in Los Cabos: It’s Always a Good Time

The great news? You can fish year-round in Cabo. With its warm waters and nutrient-rich currents, Cabo San Lucas is one of the most consistent fishing destinations in the world. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-time guest, there’s always something biting. But if you're chasing a specific species or looking for the ultimate experience, timing does matter.

Peak Fishing Seasons by Species

Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect to catch throughout the year:

🐟 Marlin (Blue, Black, and Striped)

• Best Time: May through October for Blue and Black, Year-round for Striped (with peaks in December–March).

• Cabo is known as the “Marlin Capital of the World,” and with good reason. If landing a trophy marlin is your goal, plan around these peak months.
  

🐟 Yellowfin Tuna

• Best Time: August to November

• These hard-fighting fish put on a show and are one of the top targets for anglers in late summer and fall.
  

🐟 Dorado (Mahi-Mahi)

• Best Time: July through October

• Known for their brilliant colors and delicious flavor, Dorado are plentiful in warmer months and always a guest favorite.
  

🐟 Wahoo

• Best Time: September through January

• Fast, aggressive, and highly prized—Wahoo are a thrilling catch when the water cools a bit in late fall.
  

🐟 Roosterfish & Inshore Species

• Best Time: Spring through early fall

• For those who enjoy action-packed inshore fishing, spring and summer offer great opportunities.

Weather Considerations

Los Cabos enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year, making it a reliable year-round destination. That said, hurricane season runs from June through October, with the highest chance of tropical storms in August and September. These months can still be productive fishing-wise, but it’s smart to monitor weather forecasts closely and book with a charter company that prioritizes safety—like Epic Ventures.

Booking Tips for the Best Experience

• Book early during peak seasons (May–October) to lock in the best boats and captains.

• Consider shoulder seasons (April–May, November–December) for fewer crowds and excellent fishing conditions.

• If flexibility is an option, let us help you pick the dates based on your dream catch.
