2025 Los Cabos Fishing Calendar | Best Time for Marlin, Tuna & Dorado
Fishing in Los Cabos isn’t just a pastime — it’s a way of life. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-time fisherman, Cabo San Lucas offers year-round excitement with some of the best sport fishing in the world. At Epic Ventures Fishing Charters, we’ve mapped out the 2025 fishing calendar so you can plan the ultimate trip for marlin, tuna, and dorado — the region’s top three pelagic trophies.
🎣 Month-by-Month Breakdown: Best Time to Catch Your Dream Fish
January – March
Striped Marlin: Active but less abundant. Expect occasional hookups offshore.
Tuna: Sporadic. Yellowfin may still be around if water temps stay warm.
Dorado (Mahi-Mahi): Rare. Not the ideal time for dorado chasers.
➡️ Tip: Great months for whale watching and inshore fishing.
April – June
Striped Marlin: Begins to pick up. April and May can offer steady action.
Tuna: Increasing sightings. Start planning multi-species days.
Dorado: Still early, but some are caught near floating debris or warm currents.
➡️ Tip: Consider combination trips — reef + offshore for versatility.
July – September
Striped Marlin: Peak season begins! Cabo becomes a striped marlin capital.
Tuna: Yellowfin tuna hit full stride in July, especially offshore.
Dorado: Early arrivals show up in good numbers by late August.
➡️ Tip: These months bring hot weather but hotter fishing. Book early!
October – December
Striped Marlin: Still abundant, especially during tournament season.
Tuna: Massive yellowfin (often 100+ lbs) are common near Gordo Banks.
Dorado: Peak season! Great nearshore action, especially in November.
➡️ Tip: This is prime time for big-game anglers. Book full-day charters for offshore access.
🏆 When Is the Best Time to Fish in Cabo?
If you’re targeting all three species — striped marlin, yellowfin tuna, and dorado — then October and November offer the highest probability of success. This is the “grand slam” window with overlapping peak seasons.
