Hey amigos, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to fishing guru right here in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, hittin' you with the fresh report for April 13, 2026, at 3 AM local time. Skies are clearin' up after a breezy night, with temps hoverin' around 72°F now, climbin' to 85°F daytime under mostly sunny conditions—perfect for an early start. Winds light from the northwest at 5-10 knots, seas calm at 2-3 ft. Sunrise at 6:15 AM, sunset 7:00 PM, givin' us a solid 12:45 window. Tides? Low at 4:30 AM (-1.2 ft), high at 10:45 AM (+4.1 ft), then low again 5:15 PM—fish the incomin' flood hard, that's when they feed.
Fish are fired up post-full moon! Recent charters out of Cabo report billfish on the move—striped marlin up to 150 lbs, blue marlin showin' early, plus sails boatin' steady. Dorado crashin' trolled lures, 10-30 pounders green and gold, yellowfin tuna hittin' 40-100 lbs in 200-400 ft depths, dorado schools thick nearshore. Wahoo slicin' through, some 50+ pounders, and roosterfish patrollin' rocks up to 40 lbs. Bottom action? Snapper limits, cabrilla, and occasional huachinango.
Best lures? Rapala X-Rap Magnum for billfish trolling, cedar plugs or Yo-Zuri deep divers for dorado and tuna—bright colors like pink, green, or black/purple. Live bait reigns: caballito or mackerel on circle hooks for everything, sardines for bottom rigs. Fly guys, throw big streamers on sinkin' lines.
Hit these hot spots: The Finger ( Punta Gorda) for marlin and sails at 5-15 miles out on the incoming tide, or 1150 Spot (Golden Gate Bank) for tuna and dorado stacks—anchor or drift with liveys. Chileno Bay rocks for roosters and snapper close in.
