Cabo: A Sportfisher’s Paradise

At Solmar, we proudly call Cabo San Lucas home, and it’s no wonder why this coastal city has long been revered as a premier destination for sportfishing enthusiasts worldwide. With its pristine waters teeming with a diverse array of marine life, Cabo offers an unparalleled experience for anglers of all skill levels, inviting visitors to explore the wonders of our backyard. .

Our city’s legendary status as the Marlin Capital of the World is owed to its exceptional marlin population. Cabo’s unique geographical location, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, creates a nutrient-rich environment that attracts these magnificent creatures. Anglers can expect to encounter blue, striped, and black marlin, each renowned for their size and fighting prowess—making every fishing excursion a thrilling adventure.

The Best Time to Cast Your Line

While sportfishing is a year-round activity in Cabo, certain seasons offer particularly favorable conditions for targeting specific species.

  • Spring (March to May): The warm waters and abundant baitfish create optimal conditions for billfish, especially striped marlin.
  • Summer (June to August): Summer brings a surge in yellowfin tuna activity, which are known to put up thrilling fights.
  • Fall (September to November): Fall offers changing currents and a mix of species, including dorado, sierra, and roosterfish. 

Prime Fishing Locations
