Cabo Fishing Report: Wahoo Strike Aboard Blue Sea – May 2nd
On May 2nd, 2025, the offshore waters of Cabo San Lucas delivered a high-speed thrill ride aboard the Blue Sea BERTRAM 60, captained by the sharp and seasoned Captain Alex. With warm currents pushing in 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 didn’t disappoint.
Why Wahoo Fishing in Cabo Is a High-Speed Game of Skill
Wahoo are the torpedoes of the sea, capable of reaching speeds up to 60 mph. Their strikes are sudden, their fights are fierce, and their presence in Cabo’s waters makes every hook-up a heart-pounding event.
- Tactics: High-speed trolling with deep-diving lures or rigged ballyhoo is the go-to method.
- Prime Zones: Offshore ledges like the 1150 Bank and Gordo Banks are hotspots when the current and bait align.
- Seasonal Surprise: While peak season runs July to February, early May can still produce explosive wahoo action.
Weather Conditions – May 2nd
The ocean served up ideal conditions for a wahoo hunt:
- Wind Speed: 5–6 mph – smooth seas for high-speed trolling
- Water Temperature: 78°F – perfect for pelagic predators
