I'm an avid fisherman! How is fishing in Cabo Pulmo?

GREAT! Anglers at Cabo Pulmo catch most pelagic species common to Baja California Sur waters. We regularly see (depending upon the season, of course) dorado, also known in Hawaii as mahi-mahi, tuna, wahoo, snapper, grouper, sailfish, and marlin. The Castro family operates a fleet of panga fishing boats. Our favorite guide in Paco Castro. The rates are excellent, just $35.00 per hour, with a 4-hour minimum, for up to 3-guests per boat, plus tips. Rods, reels, and lures are available for fishermen who don't bring their own. These local captains are excellent fishermen and know the area well. Fishing within Cabo Pulmo National Park is prohibited in order to protect the reefs, however it's only a short boat ride to deep waters outside the Park boundaries. Reef species like grouper and cabrilla can be fished for outside the Park as well, also a short boat ride away, just south of Bahia Los Frailes. The Castro's don't have a phone but they are the same family as Cabo Pulmo Divers, so we can make a reservation for you. If you know you will plan to fish, we highly recommend that you book your fishing trip in advance to be assured of a boat and favorite guide.
