Cabo in November

[Mags2013]

Hey guys, I know this has been discussed at length in past threads but any tips would be great. I'll be in Cabo Nov 20-23. I'm staying in San Jose del Cabo. Should i take the ride into Cabo San Lucas and pick up a charter from the marina there or should I stay in SJD? Looking at half day trips since some of us don't have our "sea legs" and wouldn't do well on an all day trip. Any tips and advice would be helpful.

Thanks!

Hit up Victor Santi in Cabo San Lucas. His english is very good and he's a great captain to boot. In Cabo if you get on a boat you need to pay for a fishing license, it's not a scam. The captain will take you by the coast guard before you head out of port and you pay the coast guard. You will expect to pay $2-3 per piece of large sardine live bait, cheaper for the small baits. Or you can throw artificials.

I've fished out of San Jose for many years and have had
Amazing results each time. No need to drive to cabo San Lucas
unless the bite is there, which, during your travel window....it isn't.
The bite is usually on/near gordo bank then, and that's like fishing
at the Klondike from squan.

Reach out and I'll give you the contacts and details

We fished out of Cabo in October and it was a relatively short ride to the fishing grounds, maybe a half hour... Bottom drops off quick there as soon as you leave the harbor. The Sea of Cortes side was practically polluted with Striped Marlin in Oct.

Not sure about SJ so can't comment.

One thing is for sure...It's a fishing Mecca down there so you are in for a treat!!

We had 2 charters and jumped 3 on one and 1 on another and saw many more we couldn't get to bite.

Unlike other places in Mexico, Cabo has some top notch people and boats to choose from so as long as you do your homework, you're not going to be taken for just a boat ride.

I will be down there the same time 11/17-23. November is a good time for Black, Blue, and Striped Marlin. In the past (usually October) I've had my best luck where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean. In November I don't think it will matter SJD or CSL you will find fish. Good time for the yellowfin as well.

I was just in San Jose del Cabo this July and we are going back Oct12-16. I fished with Gordo Banks Panga's. Contact is an American guy named Eric. Captain you want is Jose if he's available. You typically will fish within 10 miles of the marina. Eric runs a good operation and will meet you at dock before/after your trip. 26' panga runs about$290 for a 6 hr trip. They have other size boats available as well. Marina is about 10 min car ride from hotels and costs $15. Hope this was helpful and good luck on your trip.
