Marlin fishing in Mexico is so good it can sometimes look like trophy fish just jump into the local fishing boats. As any angler knows, though, it only looks like that after you’ve gone through a challenging fight, which can take on epic proportions. Marlin fishing charters in Mexico will provide you with the gear and knowledge you need to take this fight to the next level and catch a Marlin to call your own.
 
When the Aztecs used to go fishing for Marlin, they’d ask for help from Opochtli, the god of hunting and fishing. Now, you can get expert support from one of the many local deep sea fishing guides. With their renowned skills in introducing clients to these most prestigious of Billfish, it’s no surprise that more than 30,000 sportfishing enthusiasts join them in Mexico every year to try their luck and test their skills against this fish. 

Where to catch Marlin

You can find Marlin species in all coastal regions of Mexico. To the east, the country looks out onto the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, while the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California (formerly known as the Sea of Cortez) meet the western shores. But where are you most likely to catch a fish to write home about?
 

Yucatan Peninsula

The famous tourist resorts of the Yucatan Peninsula look out onto miles of Caribbean Sea shorelines. But people don’t just come to the Riviera Maya for sandy beaches and shoreline entertainment. International sportfishers come here every year for one thing – Marlin.
 
Charter boats operate all the way along the coastline from Cancun to Tulum, with local guides waiting to show you the best places to hunt. One of the best places to start is Playa del Carmen, where the island of Cozumel creates a natural funnel, causing Marlin and other Billfish to swim just a couple of miles from the shoreline.
 

Baja California

On the other side of the country, Baja California separates the Gulf of California from the Pacific Ocean. Right at the meeting point of these two waterways lies Los Cabos, the southernmost tip of the peninsula. Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo are the main port cities in this area, and are among the top places in the world for Marlin fishing. In fact, the sheer number of Marlins that get caught here have given the area the name of “the Marlin capital of the world.”
 
It’s no wonder then that the most prestigious event on the saltwater sportfishing calendar takes place in these very waters! Don’t miss Bisbee’s Black & Blue tournament in the fall for non-stop Billfish action.
 

What to expect

The go-to technique for Marlin fishing is trolling. Your captain will load the boat with heavy tackle fishing gear, and you can expect most big game fishing boats to also be equipped with a fighting chair to support you against the jumps and leaps of this enormous animal. Your hook will be baited with either live or artificial bait, depending on the season and the captain’s preference. 
 
These trips usually take place with at least one additional crew member alongside the captain, so you will have all the help and instruction you need as you reel your monster in. Catch and release is usually practiced when catching Billfish, but it’s always best to check with your crew.
 

When to go

The best time to catch Marlin in Mexico is from April to late summer. Blue Marlin season starts first, at the beginning of spring. They peak in May, when you can expect to catch a whole range of other big game fish as well!
 
Few countries in the world match Mexico when it comes to the sheer quantity of Marlin hook ups. Come and experience how much these waters have to offer for yourself. We bet that once you’ve tried it once, you’re going to want to come back!

Take Dramamine 30 minutes prior to leaving. We got seasick during our trip which was no fault on the crew. They were very understanding and helpful. We still ended up catching a lot of fish and they made fillets for us to take back to our resort where the chef cooked it! Very cool experience. For what we paid, the boat was probably very reasonable, but in the future we might like a little roomier boat. Our crew was awesome!

Be clear about the kind of day you want - make the day yours! We wanted flexibility and to expose our son to a day of fishing without making him stay out all day. We booked a full day trip, which was only a little more than 1/2 fay so we could have flexibility.

Take some Dramamine if you think you may possibly get seasick. Even on a tame day like we experienced today we were rolling in 6-10ft swells all day which can take its toll on you. Also wear a sun shirt and wear plenty of sunscreen!

The waters are a little cooler in April so the mahi mahi and dorados are further offshore. However there are still plenty of great fish to catch in the bay!

There can be very big swells and a lot of water action. That was the case for us first thing in the day. The boat was small as we were a small party and it was rolly early on in the day. It may be uncomfortable for some folks who aren't used to that and some may be better off to book a larger boat with a bigger party.

Don’t be afraid to ask to fish for a certain type of fish if you’re after something specific. Our captain was super flexible and would put us wherever and whatever we wanted to do. We wanted to pull in some fish with a good fight but not keep them, so he found us crevalle jacks to hook into. We had our two kids with us that wanted to see a lot marine life, so he found us sea turtles and manta rays, and took us to the most beautiful spot to snorkel. Just an amazing day out on the water!

Just know the sea is often pretty rough. Little children may not enjoy that part. My older teen was OK with it. You know what your children can handle. Something to consider. I highly recommend. Captain and first mate were great.

Fishing in Loreto is very seasonal - be sure to check what fish are in the area during the time of your visit. If you are hoping for a particular fish species, they may not be around depending on what time of year you are fishing in Loreto.

The only thing about these boats is that they're smaller than the big fishing charters. If it's windy (but not so windy that the trip needs to be cancelled), the boat can rock a bit if you stop/slow down to do bottom fishing. That might affect people who are prone to motion sickness.
