Cabo San Lucas (Mexico)

Cabo San Lucas hosts the densest billfish population on Earth where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific, with striped marlin so abundant that 20-fish days are documented — a frequency 60% higher than the average East Coast offshore ground. The annual Bisbee’s Black & Blue tournament offers over $4 million in prize money, the largest payout in sportfishing and double the purse of comparable tournaments. This warm-water fishery guarantees nonstop action with marlin, dorado, and roosterfish, outperforming #9 Montauk for pure billfish volume and consistency by delivering reliable strikes 90% of fishing days.
