A half day fishing trip is approximately 5 hours. 

Truthfully the answer should take several factors into consideration, but we recommend a full day trip over a half day trip to increase odds at catching fish and to give the captain and crew more options on what to do with your day of fishing, But if you have little time in your stay here and want to spend a day out on the water, a half day may work nicely for you, especially if the fishing is close by or it is Inshore fishing season.

We buy fishing bait the morning of your fishing trip directly from the bait guys at the dock.  If you are on the Bare Boat fishing package or wish to purchase extra bait, advise your Captain or Dock Master when you arrive, and they will contact bait guys for you. The cost per bait is approximately $3 dlls a piece.

Half Day fishing may be limited on how far they will go in the allotted time. Depending on the bite or the fish you are targeting you may wish to head outside of our regular fishing grounds.  On a Full Day of fishing, you can expect to head anywhere from 1 to 25 or 30 miles offshore.

Yes, you can take fish back with you to the USA. Fish will need to be frozen solid to take with you on the plane in hard coolers (cannot be Styrofoam cooler for travel).

You can take duct tape with you to seal cooler, but many times they have this at the check-in counter.

Cabo is known as the Marlin Capital of the world, and that is because we are one of the few places where you can catch Striped Marlin year-round, Other Marlin such as Blues and Blacks are also found in Cabo, Yellowfin Tuna is also a main target for avid fishermen, Dorado (Mahi Mahi), Wahoo, and Roosterfish are some of the other species most sought after.

Good eating fish are Dorado, Tuna, Wahoo, Snapper, Sierra Mackerel, Yellowtail, Amberjack, Triggerfish, Grouper.
