Fishing in Cabo Pulmo:

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 22-foot, center console fishing boats, called “pangas”. Local captains are excellent fishermen, outstanding water men and know the area well. Our favorite guides are Paco Castro and his brother Kiki Castro. The rates are excellent, with a 4-hour minimum, for up to 3-anglers per boat, plus tipping. Rods, reels, lures and fresh bait are provided, although fishermen are welcome to bring their own gear. The Castros also cater to fly-fishermen.

We highly recommend that you book your fishing trip in advance to be assured of a boat and favorite guide. If you know you will plan to fish, please let us know the dates and number of anglers. The Castro's don't have a phone but we can make a reservation for you.

Fishing within Cabo Pulmo National Park is prohibited in order to protect the living coral reefs, however the marine park and protected waters are quite small, and 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.
