May is here, and if you’re wondering what’s biting this month, read on to discover the top fish to look for in Cabo San Lucas. The legendary “Cabo Bite”, is on fire during May, so get here for a piece of the awesome action.

May is a great time to go fishing in Cabo San Lucas, and to target the impressive striped marlin. It’s one of the most popular fish in Cabo San Lucas and is available during this month. We know striped marlin for their strength, agility, and incredible acrobatics while on the line. May is the midpoint of striped marlin season in Cabo San Lucas. The tropical waters draw them here, and create the ideal feeding environment complete with squid, anchovies, and other small fish.

If you come to Cabo San Lucas in May, you’ll have a good chance of catching plenty nice yellowfin tuna. During the spring, yellowfin tuna is one of the most popular catches off the coast of Cabo San Lucas. They put up a big fight and can weigh hundreds of pounds by the time they mature. Its bright yellow dorsal fin is how you’ll recognize a yellowfin tuna. The yellowfin tuna is a pelagic fish. They enjoy the sunny waters near the surface zone where they can feed. In May, you can find yellowfin tuna in deeper waters in large schools which include other species of tuna.

The wahoo is one of the most distinct fish found here in Cabo San Lucas. Their remarkable length and lightning fast speed have made them a popular choice for fishermen in the Baja. Fishing for wahoo guarantees anglers a good run. The wahoo’s strength, speed, brains, and sharp teeth give them everything they need to thwart even the more experienced fishermen. You’ll find wahoo near shore alone but can be in a group if the spot is hot. They love the rich feeding opportunities and warm water found off Baja.

Visiting Cabo San Lucas in May offers travelers great fishing and an amazing experience. Gorgeous weather and low crowds make for the ultimate vacation. You can expect to have a perfect day on the water, surrounded by stunning views and a tropical breeze. May is as good a time as any to come visit this fishing paradise!

In this article we’ll be revealing what fish have been biting the most this past month here in Cabo San Lucas. We’ve had a lot of fun on the water this April. The “Cabo Bite” is strong, each day brings excitement as we head into May. Whether offshore or inshore, there is plenty of action to go around. Our top catches for the past month have been yellowfin tuna, striped marlin, red snapper, and sierra mackerel.

Top Biting Fish

The yellowfin tuna bite has been great through the month. Most days we see multiple bites from yellowfin averaging 22 pounds. Some of the best locations to target yellowfin tuna have been the Golden Gate Bank, La Herradura, 1150 Bank, Gordo Bank, and the San Jaime Bank. Our top angler hooked 20 yellowfin tuna fishing at La Herradura on our Caliente 45.

Striped marlin fishing is excellent, and they have been biting our live bait casts. We’ve been able to sight cast and have success trolling. Our top spots for striped marlin are the Golden Gate Bank and San Jaime Bank. Our top angler released six striped marlin at the San Jaime Bank on our Pride Cabo Express.

We’ve been getting tons of bites from some nice red snapper this month. We have been finding them while out fishing for striped marlin and yellowfin tuna. They are best around the 1150 spot and inshore. Our top angler brought in six red snapper while fishing on our luxury Caliente 45.

The inshore bite is on fire with tons of sierra mackerel schooling up in the Santa Maria Canyon. Our top angler caught 16 sierras while fishing inshore on our Cisco. Other highlights include a 30 pound wahoo, a shark, and a couple large roosterfish.

What’s Biting Next?

As we head into May, we expect to see more of the current bite. We’re forecasting more striped marlin, yellowfin tuna, sierra this spring. Next month we could see increased action from dorado, wahoo, and roosterfish. The fishing has been above average this year, so it’s a great time to get out here and enjoy the Cabo bite!
