This fall the tuna run was above average for the Los Cabos area bringing in many large tuna sometimes with multiple large fish each day. The battle is something you will never forget, especially the way you feel the next day. Not only does it take a skilled crew to hook them but the real experience starts to show hours into the fight when it can be so easy to lose the fish.
Here are pictures of some of the great cow tuna caught this year so far.
The water transition period is happening now producing different species in the area.
“It was a great trip. The captain and crew were very professional and knew how to fish.
We have fished in a lot of places and your outfit is one of the best.
Arrived at 6:30am the crew was ready, gave my money to a guy on the dock for the license, moved over to another dock he had our license and ice ready to go.
Caught bait and started to fish for grouper etc. by 10:00 we had 25 -26 fish. Large grouper, mackerel and pompano.
No luck on marlin but wrong time of year. Crew great, had a good time, my buddy who does not fish much had a great time.
Thanks for the great trip, I will highly recommend your outfit for future trips and anyone interested in coming to San Jose Del Cabo.”
2. “Had the best time of my life on the Ally Lew! Pablo was fantastic! We brought 2 Marlin onboard and the third one right up to the gunnel before it spit the hook. Please let me know where I can post to give you the review of a lifetime! No other boats caught Marlin so Pablo and the first mate where just wonderful! Notice the explanation points! We even had time to snorkel. We had tail dances and head shaking by all the Marlin. I am a big small mouth bass fisherman which do the same but I only use 6 pound test. It was the same but just monster size! Now I have to drink light beer because I don’t think I can lift anything heavier.
I would highly recommend your to vessel to anyone! Very clean and well kept.”
Another Review:
Had Captain Christian and deckhand Daniel take us out for the day. We didn’t get much bait from the bait boat so they started to pull in sardines themselves. After they pulled a bucket full off of a quad line. We went out and they got us immediately on grouper and Sierra. Pulled 9 sierras and 4 good size grouper. No Marlin but don’t really care. Already grilled up one of the mackerel and have been back for only an hour. Fantastic day, great crew. Way better than most of the others on the water. We pulled 2x as many fish as other boats.
More Happy Anglers:
We had a wonderful charter. Christian and Daniel worked very hard to get us on and into the fish. Later, we thoroughly enjoyed the fruits of our labor
The colder currents have arrived in Los Cabos causing a change in the fish species and also behaviour. Mornings currently are brisk until 
around 8:30am rising to temperatures around 27C/81F in late afternoon. Currently out at Iman Banks there are large schools of yellowfin tuna ranging from 10lbs to 45lbs with the exceptions of a few larger ones. Inner Gordo banks is producing some medium size yellowfin tuna plus a few Wahoo. Outta Gordo Banks is producing the odd large cow yellowfin tuna (150+lbs) with also a few sharks being caught. Over in Palmilla anglers are reeling in a large amount of Dorado and Wahoo – making for a great time WAHOO lol. Being closer to the shorelines in the morning ended with success as good schools of rooster fish are being landed resulting in a lack of chicken in the area. A larger school of striped marlin have arrived keeping anglers searching for marlin hooking up with either 1 or 2 marlin a trip. That is your Fish update for San Jose del Cabo.
What do you want out of your vacation? For many people who are looking to Los Cabos as their destination of choice, they are simply trying to escape the cold weather and enjoy a relaxing, fun filled few days off. For some, the rambunctious party scene offered in Cabo San Lucas is what they are after, while others want a relaxing beach getaway or to explore the sea and experience the warm sun on their backs as they reel in fish after fish. Whatever the goal is though, tourists want to plan a vacation that is enjoyable, and as stress-free as possible. Many know of the famous Cabo San Lucas, fishing hub with its beautiful arch and busy night life, but does San Jose Del Cabo have much to offer?
Simply, yes! There are actually many great benefits to fishing from the Puerto Los Cabos Marina in San Jose Del Cabo! For any kind of charter or fishing getaway, you don’t want to be spending too much time traveling to the marina and when on the water, the fishing sites. You would need to find a good marina to fish out of, somewhere to stay, and good fishing/scuba-diving sites; all in a close proximity to each other. This way, you can get out on the water and enjoy what your out there to do, with the least amount of time wasted. As many people know, the Los Cabos area offers many great options for all of the above: but what are some advantages to going from San Jose?
For tourists staying in Cabo San Lucas, often times they spend extra travel time getting to the better fishing sites right out of San Jose. Major fishing spots (such as inner and outer Gordo Banks, and Inman), popular dive and snorkel sites, and over 15 high quality resorts (listed below) are located in or closer to San Jose Del Cabo. The Puerto Los Cabos Marina is brand new with many beautiful boats at a very affordable price!

Being closer to these spots means having more time to enjoy the things that you love. Here is a list that may help you make your decision:

The whole Los Cabos area is a beautiful destination for people from all over the world, but often times the fishing in San Jose is over looked due to the fame of Cabo. If you are staying in San Jose Del Cabo keep the local fishing in mind and we are sure that you will see how great it is along with many other aspects of the town as we do!
