Inshore Fishing Vs. Deep-Sea Fishing: Which Offers A Better Experience?

tag Blog, Cabo luxury yacht rentals November 17, 2020March 1, 2021

No hobby gives you the pleasure of self-fulfillment like fishing does! It teaches you to set goals, be patient, chase your goal, and let go of what you can’t achieve. Whether you’re opting for inshore fishing or are heading toward the deep seas of La Paz, you’re in for one of the finest experiences of your life!

Here’s how the two of them differ:

In-shore fishing

Fishing in-shore means you’ll be casting within a few miles of the shore or in shallow water—usually 30 meters deep. Common inshore fishing sports include jetties, mangroves, flats, piers, shorelines, beaches, and islands.

Since the casting distance is lesser, inshore fishing needs less equipment and doesn’t rely on navigational devices to locate the fish. Unlike deep sea fishing, inshore fishing is consistent throughout the year—however, the catch varies according to the seasons. Most commonly caught species include striped bass, tarpon, snook, snapper, and speckled trout.

Deep-sea fishing

Offshore fishing—or deep-sea fishing—is quite an adventure. It’s a fully-fledged trip as far as 10 miles away from the cost. You get to ride the wild waves in the middle of the sea and catch your prey on a luxury yacht charter. It’s just you and the salty air, with no tourists trying to wreck your enjoyment. Deep-sea fishing is more of an art of hitting a lucky spot in the ocean and taking a large cookout back home. Apart from the catch, you get to experience the vast deep blue sea and other fascinating creatures. If you’re lucky, you might run into a pod of dolphins chasing your yacht!

Offshore fishing trips also call for more commitment. It would help if you had heavier gear and proper navigational equipment, like radio, weather technology, radars, and sonar. The fishing techniques are less hands-on and more reliant on sophisticated angler equipment.

A fishing trip can even go on for hours and even days, depending on the yacht’s capability. You can expect to catch some large species like wahoo, tuna, amberjack, and marlin, but only a couple of them in a day. Unlike inshore fishing, catching a few of these can be considered a great fishing day! You also need to be wary of the seasonality and weather changes.

Secret Tips for Extra Luck While Fishing

tag Cabo San Lucas fishing reports October 25, 2020October 19, 2020

Fishing is not something you can learn overnight or develop a knack for if you’re not born with it. But why should you wait for experience and skill to knock on your door if we’re willing to take you on a supervised fishing tour?

Here are all the tricks you can use while on our fishing charters.

Glue Your Bait

If you’re new to the game, you’ll be all too familiar with losing your bait in the water. But don’t be disheartened, many fishing experts struggle with keeping their bait intact so that the worm stays in place. Here’s a hack for that: anchor your bait using super glue.

It doesn’t hurt to experiment with your fishing equipment to suit your needs. If it helps you catch bigger and better, why not try?

Downgrade to Upgrade Your Catch

We’ve acquired one skill over years of fishing experience: we can always tell when a big catch is around but not biting the bait. That’s when you need to act wisely because one wrong move could alert the game fish of the danger of getting caught.

A smart trick is to downgrade your bait and retrieve it at a different speed. Slow down your move, like the jungle cats waiting before they pounce, and seduce your fish into the trap.

Fishing is all about how you present your moves and how smooth you are with your game plan. If you perform better, you’ll make bigger gains.

Jerky, unplanned moves can scare your fish away before you have the time to anchor them.

Drag to the Honey Hole

Do you struggle with a kinked or twisted rope that gets entangled at the wrong time? Here’s a spinning trick for you: unspool your line behind your boat while you’re sailing to your fishing spot. Upon reaching, reel it all in, and you won’t have any knots or kinks.

Pack a Sharpie

A seasoned fisherman always as an assortment of sharpie pens on every fishing trip. If you’re on board our fishing charters, ask the instructors if they have one. You can customize each of your sharpie pens to mimic bleeding gills, a perch, or a shad.

Handle Fish with Care

The way you present your lure guarantees your success with the game fish in the deep sea. As we mentioned, it’s all about your moves and the presentation.

When you cast your lure and reel it in, it should come back straight up. In case it skews to one side, tweak the eyelet in the opposite direction with needle-nose pliers. If your lure is not tuned correctly, your bait will always come back unbitten, and you won’t have a fresh catch for dinner.

But if you’re new to all this, let our experts help.

We offer fishing charters in Cabo San Lucas that provide the golden chance to try your hand at sportfishing.

Deep-sea fishing is one of the many attractions in our package, and we know you’ll love having a fresh catch prepared onboard by our chefs for a victory meal.

The National Geographic describes the history of Baja Waters as a rich saga of busts and booms! For years, the region has been a hotbed for beguiling underwater safari, pearl oysters, gorgeous turtles, tuna, sharks, and some of the fascinating fish catch.

If you’re planning your next fishing getaway for Baja, here are few species you definitely want to aim for.

Wahoo

If you want to get your hands on the big biting Wahoo, now is the time! Wahoo reigns throughout the waters of Baja from October to December. We recommend looking around the reefs or the old wrecks because Wahoo love to cluster around the spaces where small fish are abundant. However, Wahoo is one of the biggest fish in the area and is fascinatingly fast! They also know how to put up a great fight in front of their hunter. You need to invest in some heavy-duty equipment to get the hang of the beautiful creature.

Marlin

Marlin is known as the heaviest sports-fishing capture throughout the world. It’s one of the most popular game fish that also one of the fastest in the sea. The good news is that striped marlin swims around the coasts of Baja all-yearlong! If you’re trying to aim for blue marlin, you’re still in luck because the blue beast is expected to hang around till the end of November. Marlin fishing is an equal treat to watch. Veteran fishermen will agree that marlin is known to put up a spectacular fight. They run fast, dive deep, and leap high! They’re known for their vicious pull, which leaves an adventurous fisher to yearn for more.

Roosterfish

Roosterfish are known to be picky and is a bucket-list species for a saltwater angler. They’re available in small quantities throughout the year but become abundant from June to October. Roosterfish is incredibly popular because it’s found in the shallower coastal waters of Baja. The fish also tastes great and has a robust, savory flavor. You can catch the specie and hand it over to the chef on your Albemarle 38ft yachts to cook it for you and the company!

If you’re heading to the Baja waters for a great fishing season, we recommend getting onto a charter service in Cabo for a private, ocean-front getaway. Tag Cabo Sportfishing is your best bet in this regard Our luxury yacht fleet includes 90 ft. Horizon, 60 ft. Sun Seeker, and Albemarle 38 ft. for the ultimate fishing experience.

If you haven’t dived into the crystal clear waters of Cabo, you haven’t lived.

Being immersed in water and seeing the kingdom of life underneath is a magical experience. Witnessing the maze of reefs and rocks through which colorful fish swim is the closest to heaven you’ll ever be.

If you’re more into feeling the adrenaline rush as you ride the waves and feel the water splitting under your board is something you can’t miss. The spray of water that marks your way as you experience gliding on the water is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If you’re looking for that kind of fun, our fishing charters are ready when you are. Here are all sorts of sporty adventures they offer.

Wave Running

Riding a wave on the Cabo sea’s tumultuous tides is one of the most exhilarating sports that our fishing charters.

Imagine rushing into the setting sun while riding on the waves! Could an experience be more glorious and daring than that?

You’re in the embrace of one of nature’s most magnificent wonders: the ocean. The closest you can feel the ferocity of its waves and the temper that keeps tides rolling is wave running. You feel all kinds of emotions during this sport, but the heart-pounding-breath-racing thrill at the end is always worth it!

Dive In

The mesmerizing azure waters glistening in the sun like a rippled blue silk can steal your breath. But what lies under can make your heart stop (not literally!). The underwater world has a way of making a home in your heart the moment you set eyes on it.

The echoing silence of the vast ocean can make you hear your heartbeat like never before. The peace you find in being immersed in the beauty of such a world will make you yearn to stay there forever! That’s one reason why people keep coming back to us for a dive into the ocean.

Sportfishing

Fishing in the deep sea is nothing like reeling your fishing rod in a calm lake and catching a fish after an hour. When you sail into the middle of the Cabo sea and get ready to drop your anglers, you need to know what comes next.

You’re trying your luck in a pool that’s full of game fish. What are those, you ask? They’re the most acrobatic marine athletes that can flip, swim, or wrestle with an innate strength that’s hard to match. The Blue and Black Marlins can weigh as heavy as a 1000 pounds, so you can imagine the force they’d be resisting your moves with. Wahoos can hit a mark of 70 mph while speeding away from your trap, so be ready to sprint along!

These are just a few of the toughest players; if you’re ready to catch the biggest fish, the game fish are all set to give you a run for it.

What is Fishing in Magdalena Bay, Mexico Like?

tag Blog, Cabo fishing reports October 22, 2020March 1, 2021

If you’re planning your next getaway to Baja California Sur, the lagoons of Mag Bay are a must-see! It brings in some of the cleanest waters, fresh nutrients, and exotic fishing catch. The productive and healthy marine environment is an anglers dream come true!

Let’s see what it’s like to fish there:

What is Mag Bay like?

Mag Bay is almost the same size as San Francisco Bay. It’s a place for the most curious and adventurous people to be at. Mag Bay offers a sweet blend of elegant modern lines and the rustic California flare. The shoreline is home to hundreds of mangrove-lined channels and is a sight to behold. The area has numerous small commercial fishing villages where the expertise and fishing knowledge is passed down in families.

There are innumerable yacht charters that will literally make all heads turn to the dock. The bay itself is as vast as it can get and has a feeling of wilderness. You can drive all the way to Mag Bay. The road trip takes a few hours from the airports at La Paz, San Jose del Cabo, or Loreto.

Fishing in Mag Bay

During the calving season, the gray whales migrate to the Baja waters, and so do humans. It feels like the curiosity is mutual. It’s normal for the whales to surround the boat, play around, and look you in the eye. The experience is both fascinating and intriguing. The whales might even let you pat their backs if you seem friendly.

Other than whale-watching, sportfishing is what sets Mag Bay apart. The area offers year-long fishing opportunities for anglers and is mainly a hotbed for deep-sea fishing. The waters are teeming with fascinating marine life, and the Baja peninsula is primarily known as a fishing paradise. Saltwater charters usually begin toward the end of October and run through January.

The central Baja region is home to Wahoo, Yellowfish tuna, Wahoo, and Dorado. If you’re lucky, you might even get your hands on some Spotted Bass, Dog Tooth Snapper, Halibut, Snook, Corniva, and Grouper. Many regions of Baja waters still remain untouched by the tourists so you can land upon a lot of rare catch.

Yacht Charters in Mag Bay

Mag Bay also has some of the finest lodges, yacht charters, and tourism infrastructure in the country. If you want to have a great time by the sea, Tag Cabo Sportfishing is your best bet. Our Mag Bay yacht charters are luxurious, affordable, and have all the amenities to fit your budget. Get in touch now.

Don’t Let Aquaphobia Stop You from Enjoying Our Luxury Charters

tag Blog October 21, 2020October 19, 2020

Are you excited to board our luxury fishing charters or are your palms sweating at the thought of the deep sea?

The early onset of anxiety when you imagine being in the middle of a large water body is a sign of aquaphobia. This condition can affect your emotional wellness on adventure trips and cruise holidays, which people usually enjoy. If your partner or family plans a fishing trip with Tag Cabo Sportfishing, you want to participate in all the fun and enjoy without any fears. You don’t want to be on edge just by looking at the blue expanse of the ocean and imagining (unlikely) scenarios of drowning.

But a phobia is an irrational fear that’s disproportionate to the object of fear, which in this case is water.You may feel threatened or at risk every moment you’re in or around water and on the verge of giving in to a flight response. Managing that condition can be exhausting, and quite honestly, will ruin your trip.

We have some tips to help you overcome your aquaphobia and enjoy our charters to your fullest.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Getting the professional help you need for your condition will equip you with the right tools to manage the sudden onset of hysteria.A therapist helps locate the source of your condition, which could be childhood trauma or a life-threatening accident. Anything like a near-death experience of drowning or being stuck without help in water could’ve triggered aquaphobia.

A cognitive-behavioral therapist won’t offer any quick fixes to the problem, but they can train you to understand the fight and flight response. With continued therapy and support, you can even replace the irrational associations you’ve built around water with safer outcomes and overcome your phobia.

Being In Capable Hands

Knowing that the yachting company you’ve hired has a clean track record allays some fears. If the boat crew is experienced in sailing the charters, you can rest assured that you’ll be safe.

Fishing charters are more than just soaking the sun on the deck. You get to enjoy fishing, wave running, whale-watching, and snorkeling. If you’re planning to catch some game fish or enjoy some thrilling water sports, speak to your instructor first. They’ll be able to reassure you that the process is safe and tested previously.

Ease Yourself Into It

Know that time isn’t slipping from your hands, and you can take as long as you need to prepare yourself for a peaceful fishing trip. Rushing to fix yourself or soothe your anxieties won’t help. That may even trigger your stress when you’re about to board the boat or put on your sports gear.

Take a deep breath. Practice some muscle-relaxing techniques. Focus on the now and try to avoid picturing dangerous situations that you could be in.

Fear can grip you with hysteria and control your nerves. That’s what leads to an anxiety attack. But you can avoid that if you take baby steps toward recovery.
