Cabo San Lucas & San Jose del Cabo
April 2026 has delivered outstanding fishing conditions across Cabo, with warm water temperatures holding steady in the low to mid-80s and calm, beautiful weather creating ideal offshore conditions.
This month has been all about action and variety. Striped marlin have been consistently showing up offshore, giving anglers plenty of opportunities for exciting releases. Alongside the marlin bite, we’ve seen an incredible run of big bull mahi-mahi (dorado), with many fish in the 30–50 lb range providing nonstop action and great table fare.
Wahoo fishing has also been exceptional, with fast, aggressive strikes making for some of the most thrilling moments on the water. Anglers targeting structure and temperature breaks have been rewarded with quality fish and steady action.
