Cabo Fishing Report: Wahoo Strike Aboard Blue Sky – May 7th
On May 7th, 2025, the offshore waters of Cabo San Lucas delivered a lightning-fast thrill ride aboard the Blue Sky RIVERA 43, captained by the sharp-eyed Captain Luis. With the early May currents warming up and baitfish schooling along the drop-offs, the crew set their sights on one of the ocean’s most elusive predators: the wahoo.
Known for their blistering speed and razor-sharp teeth, wahoo are a prized catch—and on this day, the ocean delivered.
Why Wahoo Fishing in Cabo Is a High-Speed Challenge
Wahoo are the speed demons of the sea, capable of reaching up to 60 mph in short bursts. Their strikes are sudden, their fights are fierce, and their presence in Cabo’s waters makes every hook-up a heart-pounding event.
- Peak Season: Wahoo are most abundant in Cabo from July through February, but early-season surprises like this May 7th catch prove they’re always lurking.
- Preferred Tactics: High-speed trolling with deep-diving lures or rigged ballyhoo is the go-to method for targeting wahoo.
- Prime Locations: Offshore ledges like the 1150 Bank and Gordo Banks are hotspots when the current and bait align.

Fishing Highlights: The Wahoo Blitz
Just before 10 a.m., the crew spotted birds working a current line. Lures were deployed at speed—and within minutes, the portside reel screamed.
A wahoo had struck, slicing through the water like a silver missile. The angler locked in, battling the fish’s blistering runs and sudden direction changes.
After a 20-minute fight, the wahoo was gaffed and brought aboard—a sleek, torpedo-shaped predator with electric blue stripes and a mouth full of teeth.
“That fish hit like a freight train,” said one of the anglers. “It was pure adrenaline from start to finish.”
