Cabo Spring Bite: Yellowtail, Rockfish, and Offshore Billfish Firing Up

Hey amigos, this is Artificial Lure, your Cabo San Lucas fishing whisperer, comin' at ya live from the marina on April 4th, 2026, at 3 AM sharp. Dawn's breakin' soon—sunrise around 6:15 AM, sunset by 6:50 PM, with mostly clear skies, temps climbin' to 82°F daytime, droppin' to 68°F nights, light winds from the northwest at 10-15 knots. Tides? Low slack at 4:30 AM, risin' to a 4-foot high around 10:45 AM per local charts—prime for the outgoing push later. Fish are fired up this spring! Recent hauls from fleets like Mission Belle outta nearby San Diego mirror our Cabo bite: yellowtail up to 30 pounds boomin', with 16-23 per trip on live bait rigs, rockfish stackin' 40-50 per boat, lingcod hittin' hard at 4-8 apiece, plus bonito schools crashin' the party. Locals report 60-80 lb yellowfin signnin' offshore, wahoo sprinklin' in—water's 71°F and risin'. Inshore, dorado and skipjack are active on the troll. Best lures? Rapala X-Rap in sardine or mackerel patterns for surface explosions, yo-yo jigs like Salas 6X in chrome for yellowtail mid-water. Live bait reigns supreme—sardines or mackerel on a dropper loop for bottom dwellers, caballitos for billfish teasers. Slow troll feathers at 4-6 knots dawn and dusk. Hit these hot spots: Punta Gorda for yellowtail along the kelp beds—cast into the foam lines. El Cardonal reef for rockfish limits, drop straight down 80 feet. Offshore, the 405 Spot's holdin' billfish—watch for jumpers. Stay safe, wet a line, and respect the release on breeders. Thanks for tunin' in, subscribe for daily updates!
