Light Tackle Fishing

Cabo San Lucas rests at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, an extensive land mass stretching almost eight hundred miles. This expanse of desert separates the Pacific Ocean from the balmy waters of the Sea of Cortez. The numerous coves, rocky shorelines and teeming coral reefs provide ample habitat for a wide variety of game fish, including Roosterfish, Amberjack, Jack Crevalle, other Jacks, Pompanos, Cabrilla, Grouper, and a variety of Snappers.

Light Tackle Fishing can be an excellent alternative to Deep Sea Fishing for a number of reasons: 

Light Tackle or Reef Fishing is generally a more continuously active method of fishing compared to Offshore angling. Our captains maneuver our boats close to underwater structures where many of these fish species inhabit for shelter and food. These reefs and coastal outcroppings are home to a teeming environment of fish just lying in wait for your bait or lure. Usually, this smaller game is easier to find and more likely to bite than their deep sea cousins like Marlin and Tuna. If you are looking for some bent-rod action, Reef Fishing with Cabo Fishing Charters’ professional fishing guides is the way to go. 

Because light tackle fishing takes place closer to shore, travel times to and from prime fishing spots are much shorter, allowing for more actual fishing time. Half day charters are also more likely to be more successful on a light tackle expedition, so if you are pressed for time, Light Tackle Angling is the right charter for you. 

Because of the shorter travel time and continuous action, Light Tackle Fishing is also perfect for children. There’s no need to worry about their short attention span: our Light Tackle charters will give them plenty of activity: casting, hooking and reeling in some great fifteen, thirty, fifty and even one hundred pound fish. Their eyes will light up every time a fish strikes.
