Why fall is the best time for anglers in Los Cabos

By George Landrum

There’s no doubt about it. Fall is the time to be in Cabo San Lucas if you are a fisherman or would-be angler. In addition to the excellent weather conditions, just-right water conditions, and luxe accommodations in Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, and along the Tourist Corridor, folks who take to the sea are quick to find out that the fishing is fantastic.

You can take my word for it, or look to the number of tournaments held and the amount of money that is paid out as evidence. All our species—blue and black marlin, striped marlin, tuna, wahoo, and dorado—can earn you money, and the right fish at the right time can even make you rich.

The downside is that most of the tournaments are not cheap. Basic entry fees run from $800 U.S. to $5,000 U.S. for a team, and then there is the cost of chartering a boat, as well as the optional jackpots that are available.

The good thing about the tournaments is that even if you don’t enter, you can cruise Los Cabos docks, bars, restaurants, and the beach to pick up tips from some of the most experienced anglers and crews in the world, including Silverados Sportfishing (www.silveradosportfishing.com) and Pisces Sportfishing (www.piscessportfishing.com).

Toss in the beautiful boats from around the world that come down expressly to fish these tournaments and a chance to see some really huge fish, and it is easy to understand why rooms at the resorts this time of your are in such high demand. If you are lucky enough to be here now, then check out the fishing action either on the water or at the docks during the following tournaments.
