The Sea of Cortez, one of the world's most rich and diverse
marine environments, is one of the few locales that yield
marlin year-round. Besides being a prime spring spawning area
for striped marlin up to 200 pounds, Baja's East Cape is a favored
location to achieve billfishing's Grand Slam--adding blue and
black marlin (200-1000 pounds) and Pacific sailfish (80-150
pounds) to the
mix.
Catch-and-release is strongly encouraged for all billfish.
These apex predators comprise the pinnacle of a fragile marine
eco-system. Conversely, plentiful species like tuna and dorado
(mahi-mahi) reproduce in the millions and make excellent table
fare. These pelagic (open ocean) species roam the
1500-7500-foot depths close to shore here. Numerous inshore
species add to the incredible variety of marine life in the
Sea of Cortez.
The resorts provide fillet and freezer services, and a
smokehouse is available. Your fishing manager will coordinate
your charter, arrange lunches and beverages, assist you at
dockside, and process your catch.
Our fleet--the East Cape's largest and newest--comes fully
equipped with all rods, reels, and tackle, and our
professional captains enjoy teaching novice saltwater anglers.
Angling presentations include live bait (available daily from
bait skiffs), trolled lures, and fly-casting.
Fishing at Baja's East Cape Resorts is world-renowned as one
of the best values in saltwater sportfishing today. |

Fishing is running at
full throttle right now on the East Cape.
Virtually all of the big gamefish species are
available for anglers to pursue. Just in the
past two weeks we've had blue marlin caught
approaching 600 pounds, yellowfin tuna across
all size ranges with many fish exceeding 100
pounds and the largest at 246 pounds, and
boatloads of huge bull dorado 35-45 pounds
with the biggest weighed at 62 pounds. Most of
our charter boats are limiting out on tuna
with fish of above-average size. Nice wahoo
averaging 40-50 pounds also are in abundance,
with lots of nice striped marlin and big
Pacific sailfish rounding out the offshore
bite. With our sea surface temperatures in the
high 80’s, lots of the offshore action is
actually happening close to shore right now.
Some of the tuna schools are only 3-6 miles
out, with some of the nicest fish about ten
miles out from Punta Arena. The most
consistent blue marlin action has been 6-12
miles straight east of Punta Pescadero and
8-12 miles offshore from Cabo Pulmo on the
perimeter of the canyons.
Inshore,
roosterfish are going crazy with lots of 50-60
pound fish available; a monster 88-pounder was
weighed last week. Big jack crevalle averaging
30 pounds, and abundant 15-20# pargo in
similar sizes ranges also are being caught. A
giant 40-pound dogtooth snapper was brought to
the docks recently, among the biggest we’ve
ever seen from these waters.
The
tuna action has been going strong for three
months with virtually no let-up. A number of
distinct schools are available, ranging across
our fishing grounds, with some of the larger
specimens coming from the edge of our fleet’s
range. Anglers are using chunk squid to catch
many fish, but trolled hootchies, cedar plugs,
and feathers, as well as ballyhoo and
sardines, also catch fish.
The best
fishing of the year is happening right now on
Baja's East Cape!
