Cabo Fishing Calendar
A species-by-month grid for planning Cabo San Lucas fishing trips. Ratings stay pending until verified from Nasty Sport Fishing trip reports — we do not invent peak months.

Use this calendar to compare species interest across the year, then pick Nasty Half Day (5h) or Nasty Full Day (8h) on the live booking calendar. For goal-based timing (“best for marlin vs tuna”), see Best Time to Fish Cabo.
Month-by-month ratings are pending verification from Nasty Sport Fishing trip reports. The grid is ready for first-party data — we do not invent peak months. Use Best Time to Fish Cabo for planning questions while this fills in; your captain sets the daily plan from live conditions.
How to read the grid
