Cabo fishing experience?

[Redneck]

I’m going to Cabo San Lucas in the middle of December with my girlfriend. She’s into fishing to and wants to try a day trip. Has anyone been and or any advice and expectations.

I have fished there many times. It all depends on what you want to fish for. If you fish for marlin, it will be hit or miss and that will be all you fish for, but catching a marlin will be a once in a lifetime experience. On the other hand, you can fish for tuna and dorado and probably have better luck with that. $$$$$ EXPENSIVE. Try to set something up where you can share the boat with others, as that will decrease your costs a lot. Besides the boat costs, you will also have to pay a small amount for bait (on most boats) and you will have to pay for a day fishing license (small fees). This will be well worth it and you will have a great time. The water is amazing there. Where will you actually be going? To Cabo San Lucas or San Jose Del Cabo? The reason I ask is that there are 2 marinas now. If going to San Jose Del Cabo, there is no need to travel into Cabo San Lucas to get on a fishing boat, and vice versa, which also saves you money and time. Either way, it will be great!!!

Perfect thank you I’ll be staying in Cabo San Lucas. I would love to catch a marlin but dorado and yellow fin are on my bucket list as well. Thanks you for the valuable information.
