| There are several types of fishing in Los Cabos for all different tastes. Even the beginner or the experienced angler can enjoy all the types of fishing that can be found on the waters of Cabo San Lucas.
Fly Fishing.- It consists in using artificial bait called fly, made out of animal feathers or hair. This type of fishing is done in shallow clear waters, reaching even 1 foot deep. Light graphite rods and boats specially modified for shallow waters are used. Given the fact that the continental talus descends abruptly in this area of the pacific, fly fishing in Los Cabos is done in the Surf Fishing modal. Angler cast their line from a shallow point at the beach to a deeper one.
Spinning or, Light Tackle.- It is done in waters with an average depth of 9 feet. Very resistant graphite or polycarbonate rods are required. Lures and baits tend to be bigger and brighter. Reels contain up to 300 yards of line. This type of fishing can be done from the beach or from pangas. A popular area for panga fishing is Gordos Banks. Pangas depart from La Playita, some miles west from San Jose del Cabo.
Bottom Fishing.- Bottom fishing is done in deep waters where the boat anchors. An extra weigh is added to the hook so it descends without problems. Lures are usually small fish imitations. A lot of patience is required to catch a good size fish. Besides waters around Los cabos, Cabo Este is a good option to practice this type of fishing.
Deep Sea Fishing .- In this type of fishing more equipment is required, including some devices to facilitate the fish schools location, different resistance and flexibility rods and, of course, a larger amount of line. Lures are the biggest among all types of fishing and they are displayed in multiple hooks so they look like a fish school. Sometimes reali bait is used instead of lures.
Basically there are two types of fishing in Los Cabos for deep sea and one or the other is chosen according to the fish school location:
Trolling consists in keeping the boat at constant 6 knots speed. Lines are carried not very deep.
Bottom Fishing is when the boat stops in deep waters. Hooks are charged with downriggers, lead lures that make the line go down 200 feet quickly.
Waters around Los Cabos are the ideal place to practice different types of fishing, so it is pondered by the most famed anglers in the world. Options include Cabo Este and La Paz waters.
