La Paz

July 11, 2026

The week of July 4–10, 2026 brought midsummer conditions to La Paz. The water is warm (82–86°F), with plenty of sardina and caballito for bait. Steady Dorado, roosterfish, pargo, cabrilla, and some yellowfin tuna privided the most action.

Dorado

Dorado were one of the most reliable fish of the week, boats often found limits. The Dorado were between 8–15 lb, with occasional 20–25 lb fish.

Yellowfin Tuna

Scattered tuna reported, but the fish were very selective. This is typical for early July in La Paz. Most of the hookups were from fishermen using live sardines.

Roosterfish

July is part of the peak roosterfish window, with warm water and abundant nearshore bait. Anglers found Very good roosterfish action along Las Arenas beaches. Most fish were 20 to 40 pounds with some larger fish caught.

Snapper and Grouper

July remains productive for pargo and cabrilla around island reefs.

Billfish

Occasional striped marlin sightings offshore, but only a few hookups.

San Jose del Cabo

July 12, 2026

Warm blue water and steady bait availability produced excellent offshore fishing this week. Blue marlin, striped marlin, yellowfin tuna, and dorado were all active on the major banks (Gordo, Iman, 1150). Inshore, roosterfish remained consistent along the beaches north of Puerto Los Cabos Marina. Bottom fishing for pargo and grouper continued to be productive.

Marlin

Blue marlin activity surged early in the week with fish from 200 to 350lbs, marking the start of the peak summer run. Striped marlin remained present offshore, especially around tuna schools and current edges.

Yellowfin Tuna

Steady tuna bite under porpoise schools 20–25 miles offshore. Fish ranged from 40–80 lbs, with occasional larger tuna up to 130 lbs.

Dorado

Medium‑sized fish 20 to 30 lbs, with some up to 50 lbs. Anglers using Feathers, skirted lures, ballyho had the best luck.

Roosterfish

Inshore action along beaches north of Puerto Los Cabos Marina (La Laguna, Punta Gorda, Zacatitos) produced Roosters from 30–50 lbs.

Los Barriles / East Cape

July 15, 2026

The second week of July brought classic East Cape summer fishing conditions, and anglers enjoyed blue water in the mid‑80s with light morning winds. As the week progressed, dorado, tuna, marlin, and roosterfish fed steadily, creating reliable action for boats across Los Barriles and the East Cape. Offshore crews quickly found fish by working weedlines, floating debris, and porpoise schools, while inshore anglers continued to score consistent roosterfish. However, warming water made bait harder to secure, so early starts mattered more each day. Even with the bait challenge, the region delivered strong, multi‑species fishing throughout the entire week.

Marlin

Marlin remained steady, with regular opportunities offshore. Striped and Blue Marlin are consistent and present, but not red‑hot.

Yellowfin Tuna

The Tuna were mixed sizes this week ranging from football‑size to 60–70 lbs, with occasional larger fish reported offshore. The fishing required patience and deeper‑water searching.

Dorado

Warm blue water and abundant surface life kept dorado active. The Dorado ranged from 20–40 lbs, with occasional larger fish caught.

Roosterfish

Fish ranged from 10–30 lbs, with larger Roosters (35–80 lbs) found deeper near the Lighthouse area.
