- Do they allow catch and keep, or just catch and release?
- Some boat captains are catch and release only
- Knowing ahead of time will prevent disappointment
- Is “Boat Captain” their full-time job?
- Many boat owners get a license to subsidize their own hobby
- A full-time captain is out there day in and day out catching fish!

Big fish – and small ones too
Los Cabos’ location provides a very exciting place to fish. So, find striped marlin, blue marlin, black marlin, Pacific red snapper, white sea bass, mahi-mahi, and the illusive roosterfish, just to name a few.
Many types of marlin
Probably the biggest lure for Los Cabos fishing is Marlin. Catch them from mid-April to mid-June. Black and blue marlin are the most targeted species near Los Cabos, but there are others too.
Unlike other types of marlin, black marlin lives only in the Pacific Ocean. And, they’re considered to be a continental-shelf species. That means they usually remain near land. So, they’re unlikely to be seen out in the open water.
Based on migration patterns, most marlin captains don’t venture into the Pacific. They typically prefer to fish almost exclusively east and southeast of Los Cabos. Regardless, marlin are known to be the most exciting fish to catch.
