And others return other live catches to the water, such as the mahi-mahi, after catching that evening's dinner. These resort hotels' boat captains are highly experienced also, and are considered among the most successful at finding catches. Cabo's captains surely have caught more marlin than anywhere else in the world. Light, medium and heavy weight custom tackle is available for rent. Leaders, lines and lures are for sale.
Live bait is also available.
Fishing licenses are on hand for sale, as well. Smaller skiffs, called pangas, are less expensive and offer less range, but they are perfect in calm seas to cruise closer to shore, where the gallant roosterfish roam. A superb fighting fish, roosterfish still present a challenge to the experienced angler while at the same time providing a way for the amateur to get his or her sea legs. A fishing day aboard a panga is from around dawn to early afternoon. In any case, for near-shore panga or deep blue water luxury sport fishing boat, you may order a box lunch from the hotels as late as the night before.
