Wesley Brough | "Cabo Surf Caster" | Ep. #988


Listen Later

Wesley Brough — better known as Cabo Surf Caster — has been fishing the beaches of Baja for over 25 years. From trophy roosterfish to monster Pacific cubera snapper and mahi right from the sand, Wesley has dialed in one of the most unique surf fisheries in the world.

In this conversation, we talk about Baja’s seasons, species behavior, lure tactics, guiding in Cabo, and what makes land-based fishing so addictive. Wesley also shares the behind-the-scenes strategy behind his epic social media clips that get millions of views.

Some of the moments I found most meaningful in this conversation were:

  • How Baja’s beaches have changed — and where the fish still thrive

  • The seasonal game plan from January to December for multiple species

  • The insane story of landing a 73-pound Pacific cubera snapper on a surface lure

  • Roosterfish “Godzilla mode” and how to time your cast perfectly

  • The thrill (and heartbreak) of hooking big mahi from shore
