Cabo San Lucas Offshore Fishing Trips | Game-On

Cabo San Lucas Offshore Sportfishing Trip

Hosted by Protocol Sportfishing

Experience the thrill of offshore big-game fishing in one of the most legendary fisheries in the world with Protocol Sportfishing in Cabo San Lucas.

These full-service offshore trips are designed to target the powerful pelagic species that make Cabo famous. Our primary focus is chasing billfish—especially striped marlin, blue marlin, and black marlin—but depending on conditions we may also target dorado (mahi-mahi), yellowfin tuna, and other offshore gamefish.

Every day on the water is different in Cabo. The meeting point of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez creates an incredibly dynamic fishery, allowing anglers the opportunity to hook into some of the ocean’s most exciting species. Our experienced crew monitors water temperatures, bait activity, and weather conditions daily to determine the most productive strategy for your trip.

Trips typically depart early in the morning to maximize fishing time, giving anglers a full day offshore pursuing trophy pelagic fish in these rich bluewater grounds.
