Shore Fishing for Los Cabos Game Fish
Shore fishing, also known as surfcasting, is one of the most exciting ways to target some of the Los Cabos region’s hardest-fighting game fish, including roosterfish, jack crevalle, Sierra mackerel, and snapper.
To successfully land these powerful species, anglers use specialized surfcasting equipment. Rods measuring 10 to 14 feet paired with 5,000- to 6,000-size spinning reels provide the casting distance needed to reach fish beyond the breaking waves.
Heavy metal lures and jigs, including Ranger lures (2.5 to 5 ounces), Krocodiles, and Kastmasters, are effective choices for long-distance casting. Live or cut bait also produces good results when bottom fishing from the beach.
