The warm waters of the Sea of Cortez create the perfect ecosystem to maintain a healthy fish population. This is why this region is popular for fishing. However, besides regular fishing, there are designated sportfishing posts in the Sea of Cortez, where many tourists come each year to enjoy fishing tours. Here’s all you need to know about sportfishing in Cabo San Lucas.
What Is Sportfishing?
Sportfishing is the same as regular fishing, except it’s not done for commercial purposes. This makes it a recreational activity. There are different types of sport fishing, like competitive fishing, fly fishing, and freshwater sportfishing. In a lot of instances, different anglers compete to catch a certain number of fish. Sportfishing is quite popular in Cabo San Lucas because of its healthy fish population.
What Sort Of Fishes Are Found In Cabo San Lucas?
Cabo San Lucas’s waters house several fish species, including big tuna and merlin. Dorado, swordfish, roosterfish, snapper, and many more. Different techniques are used to lure in different fishes, so make sure you decide which fish you want to catch beforehand to avoid any issues. Generally, merlin are much easier to catch than other fishes, making them a good catch for beginners.
How To Enjoy Sportfishing?
Not getting competitive is the best way to maintain a relaxed and fun atmosphere while sportfishing. The best time to go fishing is during the early hours of the day when the fishes are the most active. You’ll also need plenty of patience because no matter how many fishes are in the sea, it’s easy to lure them to take the bait. As a result, you can turn this into a bonding activity with your family and friends.
What Equipment Do You Need?
Since sportfishing is just recreational fishing, you don’t need special equipment such as weights or bloggers. All you need is a fishing reel, a line, hooks, and delicious bait.
