denalialaska Posted January 23, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 23, 2008 DH and I are taking the Dawn Princess on the Mexican Riviera in April. Has anyone taken a fishing trip out of Cabo? Good and bad reviews welcome, please.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roses2 Posted January 23, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 23, 2008 We are on the Dawn's 2 March cruise and we are making arrangements for 1/2 day (5 hour) fishing trips in Cabo, Mazatlan, and PV. (In lieu of this year's 8-day long-range trip out of San Diego). We will post a report of each trip when we return. We fully recognize that March is not the hottest fishing time in the areas, but it is when we can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDPadreFan Posted January 23, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Nor is April I'm afraid. Take a look at this chart. http://www.cabosportfishingfleet.com/fishing_season.htm Regardless, you can still have a great time on the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larie Posted January 24, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2008 We chartered a 1/2 day trip in Cabo on 2/28 with El Budster. They have been great to deal with. I looked for a long time in Cabo and Maz. and we decided on them. http://www.elbudster.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denalialaska Posted January 26, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thanks for all of your answers. :D SDPadreFan -The chart was especially helpful. We had a feeling that Springtime marlin fishing wasn't going to be great, but we weren't sure. :rolleyes: Now we know that we will wait until another cruise during the summer or fall for fishing. Thanks for saving us the grief of finding out the hard way. Does anyone happen to know of a similar chart for Mazatlan or Puerto Vallarta? I would think the seasons might be somewhat the same, but told my DH that I would ask for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roses2 Posted January 26, 2008 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2008 For Mazatlan see: http://www.bibifleet.com/fishing.html For PV see: http://fishpuertovallarta.com/pages/fishchart.html We are still doing a 1/2 day charter at each port stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDPadreFan Posted January 27, 2008 #8 Share Posted January 27, 2008 The "Bisbee" (major fishing tournament) is held in Cabo in October every year. I would guess that fishing costs would go way up, and boat availability goes way down during that time period. Not sure exactly what week it is in October. Just something to keep in mind. Also; June, July, August, and September are fairly uncomfortable (HOT, HOT, HOT) on the Mexican Riviera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
