San Jose del Cabo Fishing Log — July 13–19, 2026
Offshore yellowfin tuna and blue marlin offered the main reported opportunities in mid-July.
This historical San Jose del Cabo fishing log covers July 13–19, 2026. It summarizes regional fishing observations for the dates shown, with uncertainties noted where reporting periods overlap.
Weather and Ocean Conditions
Mid-July fishing took place in humid tropical conditions, with changing Pacific weather forecasts. The available local report groups observations from July 13 through July 22 rather than recording results separately for each day of July 13–19.
The fishing picture is therefore best read as a regional snapshot of the period, not a complete day-by-day account. No week-specific water-temperature measurement was supplied for July 13–19.
Yellowfin Tuna — Offshore Grounds
Searching farther offshore for birds, bait and porpoise schools remained a central strategy. Regional reports from the wider July 13–22 period describe yellowfin tuna typically ranging from 40 to 130 pounds, with activity often found approximately 25–30 miles offshore.
The bite was unpredictable: some schools were difficult to locate and others did not feed. Live caballito and smaller skipjack or bulito were reported for larger fish, while poppers were also used for tuna. These observations cannot be assigned to a particular day of July 13–19.
Blue Marlin, Dorado and Wahoo
Blue marlin were reported in the broader reporting window, including fish estimated around 120–360 pounds. Trolling lures and rigged ballyhoo were among the approaches mentioned. Dorado and wahoo were encountered while searching offshore, although their numbers were limited.
These catches were reported regionally and should not be interpreted as Exotic Fish Cabo landings.
Nearshore Fishing — San Luis and Vinorama
Sharks continued to interfere with some efforts closer to shore. Around San Luis, roosterfish opportunities remained available, although the wider report described a decline in numbers.
Inner Gordo produced some dogtooth snapper during bottom-fishing attempts. Results from these locations were less consistent than the better offshore opportunities.
Fishing Conditions Summary
Offshore grounds: Yellowfin tuna reported in the broader July 13–22 window, with inconsistent feeding activity.
Blue marlin: Encounters reported with lures and ballyhoo.
Nearshore San Luis: Roosterfish activity, with numbers described as easing.
Inner Gordo: Occasional dogtooth snapper during bottom fishing.
Data limitation: The underlying report does not break July 13–19 out from July 20–22.
Fishing Outlook
The local observations pointed toward variable offshore opportunities rather than a reliable daily bite. Ocean conditions and the presence of sharks could change the preferred fishing plan.
