If fast-paced, colorful chaos is your thing, there’s no better fish to chase than dorado. Also known as mahi-mahi or dolphinfish, these aggressive, high-flying predators are a favorite for hardcore anglers—and Cabo San Lucas is one of the best places on earth to target them. If you’re looking for non-stop action, stunning visuals, and the chance to catch dozens in a single trip, then a multi-day charter with Tag Cabo Sportfishing is exactly what you need.
Why Dorado Fishing in Cabo Is So Addictive
Dorado are known for their dazzling neon colors, wild aerial acrobatics, and ravenous appetite. They travel in large schools, especially around floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structure. During the warmer months, these fish become incredibly abundant off the coast of Cabo.
- Peak Season: July through November
- Typical Size: 10–30 lbs
- Trophy Size: 40+ lbs
- Prime Areas: Offshore grounds, floating debris fields, and temperature breaks
Their aggressive strikes and abundance make dorado the perfect target for multi-day fishing adventures.
Why Multi-Day Trips Make the Difference
One of the biggest keys to dorado success is mobility. Multi-day trips let you:
- Chase schools far offshore where pressure is minimal
- Find floating debris fields that hold massive dorado concentrations
- Fish morning, midday, and late afternoon without time limits
- Combine dorado fishing with marlin, tuna, and wahoo on longer expeditions
These extended trips maximize your chances of double- and triple-hookups, especially during peak season.
Techniques That Trigger Bites
Our crews use a range of tried-and-true techniques for dorado:
- Trolling with bright feathers and plugs
- Casting to surface-feeding schools
- Chumming near floating structure
- Live bait drift fishing
The result? Non-stop action and wild surface strikes that get the adrenaline pumping.
Perfect for Variety and Volume
Dorado are a great target for anglers who love action-packed days and variety. On multi-day trips, it’s common to pair dorado fishing with:

It’s a chance to knock multiple species off your bucket list—all in one trip.
