Get ready for the biggest, most electrifying dorado fishing showdown in Baja California Sur! The Dorado Shoot Out returns on Saturday, July 18, 2026, transforming the laid-back fishing village of Los Barriles (East Cape, BCS) into a high-octane battleground on the Sea of Cortez. With an average of 140+ boats competing each year, this legendary one-day tournament is widely regarded as the largest dorado-specific event in Baja and for 2026, it’s promising over $500,000 USD in cash prizes and awards!

This isn’t just a tournament  it’s a summer tradition blending world-class fishing (consistent dorado runs in July), stunning scenery (palm-lined beaches, distant mountains, and endless blue horizon), and the unbeatable East Cape spirit. Sponsored by top brands like Bubba, Furuno, Pine, Eat Me Lures, St. Croix, Diamante, Costa, and more, with support from the Government of Baja California Sur and local partners.

Whether you’re gunning for the podium, chasing a jackpot, or just craving an adrenaline-fueled day on the water with your crew, the Dorado Shoot Out is the can’t-miss event of the Baja summer!
