Solmar Beach

This area is for roosterfish. When fishing for roosterfish along this section of beach, be sure to keep an eye out for waves. No matter how calm it may look, there have been many boats caught by a rough wave here.

Harbor Entrance

Although most of the better fishing will be just offshore many large game fish lurk just outside the harbor entrance. Just outside the entrance of the harbor to the east, drifting boats can take small yellowfin tuna in the 30 pound class, generally with live bait.

Red Hill ( Cerro Colorado)

Just west of Punta Palmilla is an area that can be very productive for wahoo, usually trolling in water under 200 feet deep. This area is referred to as Red Hill, which you will no doubt notice is due to the coloration of the nearby mountains. Use dark colored trolling jigs for best results.

Shipwreck Beach (Playa Barco Varado)

Just northeast of the Cabo harbor you will notice a lighthouse atop the cliff. In the area in front of this lighthouse and as far east as Santa Maria Bay there is an excellent reef located approximately one mile offshore. This is a productive area for wahoo, dorado, and good bottom fishing. Water depths vary from 125-300 feet on the reef.

Gorda Banks

There is excellent bottom fishing here with large grouper and cabrilla available. It also has quite a reputation for producing wahoo along with many other species of game fish.
