    Cabo Bite Report: Marlin, Tuna, and Roosterfish on the Rise This Morning

    This is Artificial Lure with your Cabo San Lucas fishing report. We woke up to light offshore breezes and a classic clear Cabo morning. Air temps are starting cool and climbing toward the upper 80s by early afternoon, with mostly sunny skies and only a slight chop on the Pacific side. Humidity’s up, but the breeze is keeping it comfortable on the water. According to Windy and regional marine forecasts, winds are running around 8–15 knots out of the northwest later in the day, easing in the morning, with seas 2–4 feet offshore. Closer to shore in the bay and along the corridor it’s calmer, ideal for pangas and smaller center consoles. Tide tables from local marina boards show a predawn high, dropping to a mid‑morning low, then a moderate afternoon flood. That falling tide at first light has been the sweet spot for inshore action, especially around rocky points and nearshore reefs when the current starts to move. Sunrise slid in just after 6 a.m., with sunset lined up for roughly 8 p.m., giving you a long window to work the early and late bites. The best action lately has been from gray light to about 10 a.m., then again in the last two hours before dark. Local charter docks around the marina are reporting solid mixed bags offshore. Boats heading to the 95 and 1150 banks and out toward the Gordo direction have been raising striped marlin with a few blue marlin starting to show, plus decent numbers of yellowfin tuna when you find the porpoise schools. Dorado counts are picking up, mostly school‑size with an occasional nicer bull. Skippers on the Pacific side toward the Golden Gate and San Jaime report good numbers of striped marlin and some lazy fish just window‑shopping, so keep the teasers working. Tuna have been on small hoochies and cedar plugs run a bit deeper, especially when the sun gets higher. Inshore, along the Cabo Falso area and up the corridor, boats are finding roosterfish tight to the beach, plus jack crevalle and sierra early when the water still has a little cool edge. A few snapper and cabrilla are coming off the rocks for those soaking bait or slow‑rolling jigs. For lures, the go‑tos right now offshore are: - Small to medium skirted trolling lures in zucchini, black‑and‑purple, and pink‑silver. - Cedar plugs and small feather jigs in darker colors for tuna. - Live caballito or mackerel pitch‑baits ready in the tubes for marlin that crash the spread. Inshore, bring: - Surface poppers in bone or blue‑back for roosterfish. - 4–6 inch soft plastics on jig heads in white or brown‑gold for snapper and cabrilla. - Small spoons and shallow‑running hardbaits for sierra when they’re slashing bait balls. Best bait has been live caballito, mackerel, and mullet near the beach. If you can make some fresh bait at gray light just outside the marina or off the Arch, you’re in business. Cut bait along the rocks is still turning up quality bottom fish when the tide starts to move. A couple of hot spots to circle on your chart: - The **Golden Gate Bank** on the Pacific side for striped marlin and tuna when the current is right. - The **95/1150 banks** off the Sea of Cortez side for a marlin–tuna–dorado mix, especially on that mid‑morning tide swing. - For inshore, the stretch from **Cabo Falso up the corridor** toward Chileno has been holding roosterfish when there’s bait tight to the sand. That’s the bite for Cabo today from your local friend, Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

    Cabo Summer Bite: Marlin, Roosters, and Perfect Tide Windows This Week

    This is Artificial Lure, checking in with your Cabo San Lucas fishing report. We’ve got classic Baja summer conditions this morning. Light breeze early, building to a moderate onshore wind by early afternoon, then laying down again toward sunset. Skies are mostly clear, hot and bright, so bring sun protection and be ready for some serious glare on the water. Tides around the Cape are running a moderate swing today, with a higher water push mid‑morning and again in the evening. That incoming tide has been the key window, especially along the Pacific side where the bait stacks up tight to the drop‑offs. Plan your serious efforts around those tide changes; slack has been noticeably slower. Sunrise is right around 6:40 local time, with first light a bit earlier, and that gray‑light period has been the most productive for the inshore guys. Sunset is close to 8 in the evening, and that last 90 minutes of light is another solid bite window, especially for roosterfish and jacks cruising the beach edges. Offshore, the story has been marlin and tuna. Boats working the temperature breaks off the Golden Gate and San Jaime banks are reporting good numbers of striped marlin, with a few blue marlin starting to show as the water warms. Most fish are coming on trolled plastic lures in purple‑black, guacamaya, and blue‑white, with dropped‑back ballyhoo or caballito sealing the deal when they come up in the spread. Yellowfin tuna have been popping up under porpoise schools a bit farther out; cedar plugs, small feather jigs, and live sardina fly‑lined on lighter leaders are producing school‑size fish with the occasional bigger model mixed in. Closer to shore on the Sea of Cortez side, from Palmilla up toward Chileno, there’s been steady action on dorado and some nice sierra and skipjack. Dorado are hanging around floating debris and current lines; bright‑colored trolling skirts, small Rapala‑style plugs, and live sardina have all been hot. Keep a pitch rod ready anytime you see birds and broken water. Inshore along the Pacific beaches, especially around Migrino and up the coast, roosterfish are the main attraction. The nicer fish are coming on big live mullet slow‑trolled just outside the surf line, but plenty of roosters and jack crevalle are eating surface plugs and stickbaits cast tight to the sand. Think big poppers in white or bone, and long, sweeping retrieves. The guides have also been doing well with 1–2 ounce metal jigs bounced along the bottom for grouper, snapper, and triggerfish around rocky points and inshore humps. Best lures right now: medium‑size trolling skirts in purple‑black, blue‑white, and green‑yellow offshore; small feathers and cedar plugs for tuna; bright‑colored jigs and diving plugs for dorado; plus big surface poppers and walk‑the‑dog stickbaits in natural baitfish colors for roosters. Best natural baits: live caballito, mullet, mackerel, and especially sardina when you can get them. If you’re looking for hot spots, focus on the Golden Gate Bank for marlin and tuna when the water temps and birds line up, and hit the inshore stretch between El Arco and Chileno for a mixed bag of dorado, sierra, and inshore gamefish. Beach anglers should walk the stretches near Migrino at first and last light, hunting for bait balls and nervous water just off the breakers. That’s the word from Cabo for now.

    Cabo San Lucas Summer Peak: Marlin, Roosters, and Perfect Conditions

    This is Artificial Lure with your Cabo San Lucas fishing report. Down here at Land’s End, summer patterns are in full swing. We’re sitting on a warm blue Pacific with sea temps generally in the high 70s to low 80s, light morning breeze and a bit more bump in the afternoon as the onshore wind picks up. Skies have been mostly clear to partly cloudy, with just enough chop later in the day to kick the bite along. Tide-wise, we’re working a moderate swing today around the full–to–waning moon phase. Think higher water pushing late morning and dropping through the afternoon. Early-morning incoming and the first part of that outgoing have been the sweet spots, especially tight to structure and along current edges. Sunrise is right around that 6 a.m. mark, with sunset close to 8 p.m., so you’ve got a long window. The best bites have been: - Inshore: first light to about 9:30 a.m. - Offshore: mid-morning once the sun’s up and the bait balls show, then again late afternoon if the wind doesn’t get too wild. Offshore, boats working the Pacific side off the Golden Gate and out toward the 1150 and 95 spots have been seeing solid striped marlin action with a few blue marlin mixed in. Dorado numbers are picking up, mostly schoolies with the occasional better bull. Tuna have been hit-or-miss, but when they’re in, it’s footballs to 40–60 pounds on the temp breaks. Inshore along the Cabo arches, the Lighthouse, and up toward Migrino, the roosterfish bite has been classic early-summer: fish cruising tight to the beach harassing sardina schools. Sierra are thinning but still around in pockets, plus jack crevalle and some decent snapper around the rocks and pinnacles. Productive counts from local charter docks this week have been a handful of marlin per boat on good days, plus dorado for the table, and mixed inshore bags of roosters, jacks, and snappers. Slow days still usually mean at least a couple of solid hookups if you stick with it and work the structure. For lures offshore, pull a spread of medium-size skirted trolling lures in bright pink-and-white, blue-and-white, and guacamaya colors for marlin and dorado. Small to medium feathers and cedar plugs are still the go-to for tuna when they show. Add a couple of rigged ballyhoo or caballito in the pattern if you can get them—billfish love a well-swum natural bait. Inshore, live bait is king. Sardina and caballito slow-trolled or drifted near the surf line will draw roosters and jacks. For artificials, throw 2–4 oz surface poppers in blue, bone, or hot orange, and metal spoons or stickbaits when the sun is high and fish are a bit deeper. Don’t be afraid to fish heavier leader for roosters and jacks; they’re not shy in the churned-up water. A couple of current hot spots to focus on: - The **Lighthouse to Migrino stretch** on the Pacific side: work just outside the breakers at first light for roosters and jacks, then slide a bit deeper for snappers once the sun is up. - The **Golden Gate Bank**: excellent for marlin and occasional tuna when the current stacks up bait; run a clean spread and watch the temp and bird life.
