On the water
Fishing Knowledge Built on the Water
Arturo's approach combines the practical judgment of Cabo captains with temperature breaks, sonar and satellite charts. Offshore days may focus on striped marlin and yellowfin tuna; closer to shore, trips can target roosterfish, snapper, grouper and cabrilla. Longer expeditions reach across the East Cape, La Paz, Loreto and Magdalena Bay.
The Finger Bank, Gordo Banks, Punta Gorda, San Luis Bank and the East Cape coast are among the grounds discussed in Tag Cabo's fishing coverage. Conditions, bait and season—not a fixed promise of a catch—determine each plan.
SatFish's profile of Arturo describes how he uses satellite information offshore. Explore the fishing reports for current conditions.
Competition
Tournament Fishing
Arturo and the Tag Cabo team take part in Baja California Sur's tournament-fishing community. Competitive fishing offers another view of changing offshore conditions, tackle decisions and the teamwork required aboard a sportfisher.
Bisbee's official 2024 East Cape Offshore wrap-up lists Rock N Reel among its payout teams. The published summary does not name individual anglers or document a fish weight, so it should not be read as verification of a particular person's catch.
Tag Cabo supports responsible catch-and-release for billfish and promotes learning about seasonal patterns and Baja's marine environment.
Baja voices
