Tournaments

Los Cabos is the ultimate hotspot for fishing fanatics, featuring a slew of major tournaments throughout the year. These events not only give seasoned pros a shot at impressive cash prizes but also offer newbies a chance to learn and connect with fellow anglers.

​In June, the Pelagic Triple Crown of Fishing Summer Slam heats up Cabo during peak summer, when the waters are teeming with fish. Though not as high-profile as some other events, it still draws a solid crowd and presents plenty of chances to win in various categories. Last year, participants went head-to-head in billfish and gamefish divisions, with total prizes surpassing $480,000.

August brings the Bisbee’s East Cape Off-Shore, part of Bisbee’s Baja California Sur fishing series. Launched in 2000, this tournament is known for its relaxed vibe. With a $1,500 entry fee and extra charges for daily jackpots and side challenges, it’s a great opportunity for teams to reel in big wins with billfish (black, blue, and striped marlin), tuna, and dorado.

The Los Cabos Billfish Tournament in October kicks off the marlin season in Los Cabos, sparking excitement for the month ahead. As the first major tournament of the month, it’s a prime stage for anglers to show off their skills and gear up for the renowned Black & Blue competition. If you're after a high-stakes challenge, this is the tournament to target.

Later in October, the Bisbee’s Los Cabos Off-Shore, often called "Little Bisbee’s," gets the adrenaline pumping with a mix of gamefish like Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, and Striped Marlin (which are released back into the ocean), alongside Black and Blue Marlins. Established in 2002, it offers a thrilling competition across multiple categories.

The Bisbee’s Black and Blue Marlin Tournament, also in October, is the crown jewel of Cabo’s fishing scene. Over five action-packed days, the event draws nearly 200 boats and anglers from around the globe, creating a buzz of excitement as massive Marlins are weighed in. The 2006 tournament made history with a record-breaking prize pool of $4,165,960, making it the largest single fish payout in sportfishing history.
