January – The Calm After the Storm
- Inshore: Sierra Mackerel, Snapper, Grouper
- Offshore: Striped Marlin, Dorado
January delivers cooler waters, fewer tourists, and some surprisingly solid striped marlin action. This is an excellent time for light-tackle fishing. Inshore anglers can target sierra mackerel, snapper, and grouper around rocky points and submerged structure. The sea is calm, the air crisp, and the crowds are gone.
February – Billfish on the Move
- Inshore: Snapper, Grouper, Sierra Mackerel
- Offshore: Striped Marlin, Yellowtail
CABO FISHING SEASONS Month by Month continues with February, a sleeper month for striped marlin. It’s also when you start seeing yellowtail entering the offshore scene. Blue Sky Cabo boats use teasers like Rip Hoo and Squid Nation chains to raise fish off thermal lines.
March – Cool Water, Hot Action
- Inshore: Grouper, Sierra, Triggerfish
- Offshore: Yellowtail, Striped Marlin
March brings wind to some days, but also concentrations of bait along current seams. Blue Sky’s drone program is extremely effective this time of year, helping you spot bird piles and bait boils.
April – Roosterfish Come to Play
- Inshore: Roosterfish, Snapper, Amberjack
- Offshore: Striped Marlin, Early Tuna
This is when the magic of CABO FISHING SEASONS Month by Month starts ramping up. Roosters show along the beaches. Offshore, striped marlin is consistent, and the first big yellowfin tuna start showing up. The water begins warming up, and so does the action.
May – Tuna, Roosters, Everything Wakes Up
- Inshore: Roosterfish, Jack Crevalle, Snapper
- Offshore: Tuna, Striped Marlin, Dorado
In May, you get longer days, clearer water, and feeding frenzies. Tuna schools pop up offshore. Roosters hit live bait near the rocks. The season is fully underway, and the Blue Sky Cabo fleet is dialed in.
June – The Gamefish Parade Begins
- Inshore: Roosterfish, Snapper
- Offshore: Tuna, Dorado, Marlin (Blue & Striped), Sailfish
CABO FISHING SEASONS Month by Month really heats up now. Warm waters mean multiple marlin species are in play, along with sailfish and dorado. Tuna schools grow in size.
With Terrafin satellite imaging, drone scouts, and Starlink on board, Blue Sky Cabo gives you a futuristic fishing experience.
July – Summer Fishing Bliss
- Inshore: Roosterfish, Grouper, Snapper
- Offshore: Blue Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Sailfish, Dorado
From this point through December, we’re in high season. Marlin, dorado, and tuna are everywhere. Book multiple days to hedge against any variables like current shifts or moon changes. Blue Sky’s concierge manager meets every client dockside and ensures the best options are chosen daily.
August – Peak Trophy Time
- Inshore: Roosterfish, Grouper
- Offshore: Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, Wahoo, Tuna, Dorado
August is when dreams come true. It’s the best time to hook a grander black marlin, or multiple blue marlin in one day. The 50’60 ft boats in Blue Sky’s fleet offer the stamina and range needed to chase these fish hard.
September – Hurricane Risk but Crazy Bites
- Inshore: Tough Conditions
- Offshore: Marlin, Wahoo, Dorado
This is Cabo’s wildcard month. You might get glass-calm seas and epic fishing, or you might get canceled due to weather. It’s hurricane season—proceed with caution.
October – The Grand Slam Month
- Inshore: Roosterfish, Snapper, Amberjack
- Offshore: Blue/Black Marlin, Tuna, Sailfish, Dorado, Wahoo
October is the best all-around month in Cabo. Every gamefish is present. It’s also tournament time, which pushes the Blue Sky Cabo team to their highest level of precision.
November – Dorado Everywhere
- Inshore: Sierra, Snapper
- Offshore: Striped Marlin, Tuna, Dorado
As temps cool, dorado go wild. Expect 40+ fish days, and school after school under floating debris. Striped marlin action returns. Use the GoPro and Drone footage upgrade to document everything for $15/hour—plus you get a free highlight video.
December – Season Reset and Striped Glory
- Inshore: Grouper, Snapper
