Top 3 Mexican Fishing Destinations
Why Fishing in Mexico?
The East Cape of Baja is known for some of the world's best striped marlin fishing, as well as world-class dorado and yellowfin action. The fishing grounds off the East Cape are very close offshore, in the relatively calm waters of the Sea of Cortez. Occasionally, 15- to 25-mile runs will be needed to reach the bite, but on most days you can hook billfish just a mile or so off the beach where a few deep canyons run adjacent to the coast.
From December through mid- April, the waters off Isla Coronado and the reefs along the coast offer exceptional opportunities for large yellow tail catches via lure casting, jigging, or fly fish. Roosterfish are also available January through April. Late June through October see the migration of dolphin fish (dorado) in the open sea of Isla Carmen.
Fishing in Cabo San Lucas and other area of Baja California Sur is glamorous yet inexpensive. The quality of fishing remains constant and exciting. The great up welling of nutrients occurring here attract hordes of baitfish, concentrating the striped and blue marlin, sailfish, dolphin, tuna and thresher shark at this unbelievable aquatic dinner table. Legendary banks such as San Jaime, Golden Gate and Gordos often explode with feeding frenzies.
