Among Los Cabos fish species are Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Stripped Marlin and Sailfish, however these are endangered species so it is mandatory to practice catch and release techniques. This means to weigh and measure the fish, and take pictures of it for record purposes to then release it in the sea. If it is done properly the fish has ample possibilities of surviving.

What you can fish in Los Cabos include Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Snapper, Grupper and Tuna. However, the temperature between the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez can reach 18ºF difference and this means abundance or lacking of one species or the other. All of them are edible and rarely are they in close season for reproduction or sanitary alert. If this is the case of the fish you catch you must return it to the sea dead or alive. If not, there is a limited number of pieces you can take for your own consumption. Your guide can assist you by telling you which ones are better to and the quantity you are allowed to take. An additional service the marina can provide is to cut the fish in filets. Most hotels will agree to cook it your way for lunch or dinner. Talk about it to the hotel Concierge, Maître or Chef.
