Best Fishing Spots in Cabo 2025 | Gordo Banks, Golden Gate & More

🎣 Introduction:

Cabo San Lucas is more than just a beautiful beach town — it’s one of the world’s premier sportfishing destinations. From legendary offshore banks to productive inshore drop-offs, the region offers a variety of fishing zones teeming with game fish like marlin, yellowfin tuna, dorado, roosterfish, and wahoo. At Epic Ventures Fishing Charters, we’ve mapped out the top fishing spots in Cabo for 2025 so you can plan the ultimate adventure — whether you're a seasoned angler or first-timer.

📍 1. Gordo Banks

📌 Location: ~8–10 miles northeast of San José del Cabo
🎯 Best For: Yellowfin tuna, wahoo, marlin, amberjack

This deep seamount is a tuna magnet and one of the top places in all of Baja to hook fish over 200 lbs. It’s also a go-to for fall wahoo and spring amberjack. Whether you're chumming sardines or kite fishing skipjack, Gordo Banks is a must-hit spot during peak season (July–November).

🐟 Tuna jackpot tournaments often revolve around this bank.

📍 2. Golden Gate Bank

📌 Location: ~20 miles northwest of Cabo San Lucas
🎯 Best For: Striped marlin, dorado, tuna

This underwater ridge is one of the best places in the world to target striped marlin, especially from July through January. It’s common to see multiple marlin tailing on the surface — perfect for pitch baiting and trolling. Dorado and tuna also school here during the late summer bite.

🎣 During peak marlin season, double-digit release days are possible.

📍 3. San Jaime Bank

📌 Location: ~25 miles southwest of Cabo
🎯 Best For: Yellowfin tuna, wahoo, marlin

Another deep offshore bank that shines in late summer through fall, San Jaime is where many trophy tuna and pelagic species are landed. Dolphin pods and birds often indicate tuna feeding frenzies. Wahoo can be taken trolling high-speed lures along the ledges.

🐬 Look for spinner dolphins — yellowfin tuna are usually below.

📍 4. 95 Spot & 1150 Spot

📌 Location: Southeast of Cabo, near the continental shelf
🎯 Best For: Billfish, tuna, dorado, sailfish

These GPS hot zones are favorites among charter captains targeting mixed pelagic action. The steep underwater structure draws in bait and predators alike. Excellent year-round for striped marlin and a productive option in spring and early summer when some other banks are slow.

💡 The 95 Spot is often the first stop for morning offshore runs.

📍 5. Lighthouse (Faro Viejo)

📌 Location: Just west of Cabo Harbor
🎯 Best For: Sierra mackerel, snapper, roosterfish

This iconic inshore zone is easily reached on half-day charters and offers fantastic action near the surf line. It’s great for families or those who want fast-paced action with light tackle.

🐟 Roosterfish are often sighted cruising the beach in early summer.

📍 6. Palmilla Point & East Cape

📌 Location: Northeast of San José del Cabo
🎯 Best For: Roosterfish, jack crevalle, pompano

Inshore anglers love this stretch of coastline for roosterfish on live bait or topwater lures. Early morning missions along the East Cape shoreline are incredibly productive from May to August.

🪝 Perfect for fly fishing and topwater enthusiasts.
