Hosted Big Game Fishing | Baja East Cape | Mexico
Due to how popular this part of the world is for the travelling big game angler, we had no choice but to add our fully hosted trips there so single anglers or small groups can get to experience the amazing fishing with out paying any extra. Our fully hosted holidays to Mexico have been running now for many years and this is due to how good the fishing is, for each year we manage to catch people their target species and 9 times out of 10 these anglers will book year after year. Another huge advantage of joining our hosted trips is that you will be travelling with one of our hosts, they will escort you through all the airports, make sure you are on the correct transfer and more importantly they will pass on their vast amount of knowledge of this style of fishing.
Location
Palmas de Cortez is located on the East side of the Baja Peninsular in Mexico and fishes the legendary Sea Of Cortez which is home to many different fish species from Marlin, Sailfish, lots of different Tuna species, Dorado or Mahi Mahi and then you have the superb inshore fishing for Roosters and Jacks. The area the resort is located in has become world renowned for multiple strikes from the billfish and more famous than this are the super hard fighting Roosters which patrol the shore line chasing down schools of bait fish. With miles of untouched white sandy beaches where you may not even see another person, it truly is a magical place to be.
Fishing
A huge draw for so many travelling anglers to this part of the world is the different variety of fish and fishing styles on offer. One day you could be trolling the stunning Sea Of Cortez looking for the odd floating fish attractors for all manner of billfish, then the next day you could be casting surface poppers to feeding Roosters and Jacks as they smash their way through huge bait shoals to get at your popper. When you are out targeting the offshore species such as the Blue Marlin or Sailfish you can expect to catch Marlin around the 200 – 300lb bracket with the odd bigger one thrown in. The Sailfish are of a good size in these waters and an average sized Sailfish would be around the 80lb mark with bigger ones always being caught. Tuna range from 10lb to 200lb depending on the time of year and of course the species of Tuna you are targeting. There is always a good head of Tuna in these waters which offer the opportunity to either troll, chuck big poppers or even vertical jig fish and once one of these turbo charged fish hits your lure, you will be in for one hell of a fight. If you choose to inshore fish then the species on offer will be Roosters, Jacks, Barracuda and Cubera Snappers. All of these fish will either take baits or lures so again the style of fishing is entirely up to you. The average sized Rooster to expect is around 20lb with the chance of a real trophy fish as there is always a big one caught each week exceeding 50lb. Jacks average around 10lb and these little fish will on the right tackle give you hours of fun.
Boats
The boats on offer at Palma de Cortez range from 28’ or 32’ offshore fishing boats to the more personal inshore Pangas which are 23’ or 25’. All our boats come with VHF radios, live bait wells, ice chests, sunshades and all trolling and bait fishing equipment. On the hosted trip to Palma De Cortez we base all the fishing days on 2 people per boat for offshore and inshore days. Our host will split his time between all the boats so everyone gets to fish with the host during the fishing days.
Guides
The fishing crew including captains and deckhands have been hand picked to provide the best experience possible. They have been fishing these waters for many years now and at any certain time of the day or tide they will know where to head to find your chosen targets. They will be on hand all day to help you as much as you need, if you like the idea of being really well looked after and put on fish time after time then Palma de Cortez on the Baja Peninsular will tick all your boxes.
Other Activities
Some of the other activities on offer at Palma de Cortez include the following and any of these can be booked with the reception when you arrive. These additional activities are well worth doing whilst in Mexico so why not add on a few days to the end of your fishing holiday so you can experience a little more of what the real Mexico has to offer.

Destination Overview:
Palma De Cortez is located in the East Cape of the Baja Peninsula which is around 100miles from Cabo San Lucas. The Sea of Cortez is a giant bay where fish like to come and feed on the nutrient-rich waters before heading back along the coastline. The sea of Cortez offers a huge variety of species including all the Billfish family and the inshore fishing for Roosters and Jacks is world class. The shore fishing is something that is not done often but you can have very good results fishing into dark just outside the hotel where Roosters and Jacks will be hitting the bait balls against the shoreline.
Where is the destination?
The Sea of Cortez is located off the East Cape of the Baja Peninsula in Mexico, Cabo San Lucas. Being located on the east side means you will be fishing the rich waters of the Gulf of California
Where do they fish?
The inshore fishing along the coast is world class and Lighthouse Bay is one of the best around. When big game fishing the fishing starts as close as 2 miles out so no time is wasted motoring out to the grounds. The deep drop off where the Billfish cruise is only a short steam of around 10 minutes from the jetty.
How long does it take to reach the fishing grounds?
Both inshore and offshore grounds are all located very close to the hotel and you can be fishing within 10 minutes of leaving the jetty. However, if there are known shoals of Tuna that are feeding then somedays you may be travelling up to an hour to reach them.
What fish will I catch?
The offshore species will include Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna and Dorados. These can all be targeted on the same day which is a major pull for the sea of Cortez. The inshore fishing at Palma De Cortez is excellent. You can expect to catch Roosters, Jacks and Snappers. Occasionally the Dorado come in very close to feed on the huge inshore bait balls. Along with all of the above, if you decide to fish the many reefs you will also catch many different types of Snappers plus the very hard fighting Amber Jacks which grow to a very good size.
How many fish will I catch?
This all depends on the chosen species you wish to target, the weather and the time of year. If you are after catching a big Billfish then to hook one a day would be an ideal expectation and anything over this would be classed as a bonus. You should get action from other species such as the Dorado and Tuna to keep you busy. The inshore fishing is always guaranteed to be a good day with lots of action from the Jacks and if you are lucky enough you will get to see a huge Rooster or two.
How do they fish?
On your offshore fishing days, the boats will head to the steep drop-offs where the predator’s patrol. You will be mainly trolling artificial lures and teasers, then once you have a Billfish in the spread the deckhand will pull the lure in so you can cast a bait to the Billfish and seeing a Billfish strike at close quarters is an unreal experience.
The inshore fishing days will be mainly using fish as bait. These will be trolled behind the boat on outriggers, the deckhand will use live pilchards by the handful to excite the Roosters and Jacks. Once you have located the feeding fish the action should be pretty exciting and constant.
Do the guides speak English?
All the captains and deckhands speak good English. Sometimes hand signals are needed to explain things, we call it worldwide fishing language.
Who is best suited to this destination?
This destination is perfect for those who like a lot of action as the Sea of Cortez is packed with fish. You certainly do not need to be an expert big game angler as the deck hands will take great care of you. On the other hand, if you are an experienced big game angler you will also have lots of fun as the action can be fairly hectic on occasions when the Tuna are running or the Dorado are hungry.
What skill level is required?
This destination suits anglers of all abilities from first time big game anglers to the most experienced.
How physically demanding is this trip?
If you choose to troll then it’s not that physical as when you hook a fish you can sit in the fighting chair and let the boat do the work. Additionally, you can stand toe to toe with the fish and battle it out. You can choose to lure fish if you so wish, which is fairly demanding, but not the normal technique for this part of Mexico.
When to go?
The season is from the end of April to November with May and September the best two months as this is when the Tuna and Dorado run. May sees a lot of good-sized Marlin and September is a great month to target many different species. Whenever you decide to travel then we highly recommend looking at a moon phase calendar. We would recommend the time leading up to a ‘new moon’ as the predators will feed more during the day than the night.
How to get there?
We normally fly people via the US, places such ass Los Angeles or Dallas, then the same day a flight to San Jose Del Cabo (SJD). Once you arrive we will then transfer you to the resort. Transfer normally takes around 40 minutes.
What is the accommodation like?
Palma De Cortez was built with the angler in mind with it being located right on the beach. There are a couple of different options for rooms. There are poolside rooms or ocean view rooms. All the rooms are decorated in a Mexican style and have two twin beds, a shower room (some have baths), and normally an outside balcony where you can take a nice cold beer. There is a small gym on site along with tennis courts and a lovely spa area.
What is the food like?
The food at Palma De Cortez is very good, fresh and produced from local products. If there is something you fancy that isn’t on the menu then simply ask as the chefs and staff will try their hardest to make it happen. The breakfast is served early so it doesn’t get in the way of the fishing days and is an American style breakfast.
Does the hotel provide fishing tackle?
The tackle that is provided when out on the boats is of a good standard. If you fancy a little popper or jig fishing then we would recommend you taking your own equipment as they tend to concentrate more on trolling equipment. It is also possible to hire a small spinning rod to have a go from the beach in the evenings
Is internet and phone signal available?
Phone signal is available and the Wifi at the resort is free.
Are there other activities available?
Yes, they can organise shopping days out at Cabo, quad bike rentals and mountain bike rentals. Onsite there is a spa treatment are, gym and several tennis courts. There is also a swimming pool with swim-up bar plus a hot tub area.

The Meet, Greet and flight arrangements & transfers went perfectly.
The accommodation came as a bit of a shock having to share with a total stranger, this needs to be clearly advertised where applicable on all your trips!
The Fishing was patchy at best, and skippers tended to try and do what the majority of boats were doing unless you were really firm with them.
The best bit for me was catching a quality Rooster fish, (photos are on Paul's Dropbox)
Some of the tackle, especially in the Panga boats needed some TLC!!!!
Thanks to Paul for being a very good (and patient) host.
Thank you for taking the time to fill out your feed back form as these help others who are thinking of travelling over to this resort.
I have noted what you said about sharing rooms and this will be clearly advertised on all trips when we update our website.
The fishing was a little tough at times which shocked me as the fishing around Mexico is normally brilliant. we hopefully made the most of the fishing with most people getting their target fish and well done on your big Rooster you caught and thanks for the pictures.
I have emailed the resort about the panga fishing equipment and they have assured me they will do the best to resolve the problems.
Hopefully i will get to guide you again one day as it was a pleasure to meet you and fish with you
All the best

First Sailfish
First Amberjack
First Rooster Fish
First Yellow Fin Tuna
Weather was hot and sunny, food and accomodation good, and the host/guide very knowledgeable, helpful and approachable. I am already planning my next trip with Sportsquest for next year.
Hello Robert
Thank you for filling out the feed back form. It was great to meet you and spend a day fishing with you. The big fish avoided us that week but i think every one still managed some great fishing and those Amber Jacks pull hard and well done on your Rooster fish
Thank you for your kind words and look forward to showing you Costa Rica next year

A good variety of fish were caught. One large Marlin was seen
The tackle provided on the Pangas was not the best quality
the tackle on the larger boats was of good quality
all the boat captains and crews were excellent and found many fish
There was no need to take any tackle
However on the few occasions fishing over the drop offs it would be worth taking some heavy pirks or lures as these were not available on the boats and suitable weights were not available. These could have been purchased locally.
The ones who did this caught large Amberjacks
Most of the fishing involved getting livebaits small and large. this was not a problem but there was a rush to get these due to the competition from the number of boats seeking these at the dock and at the other locations where they were available.
The group were all good people and the assistance from Mr Stevens was excellent.
Hello John, glad you had a good time and enjoyed my company as i enjoyed yours. Lots of stories for your travels and hopefully will get to fish with you again
I have emailed the resort about the Panga fishing gear and they have promised me that they will speak with all the pangas and get them to purchase new tackle. I understand that they are not that well off and have to buy their own tackle but if they want to stay busy then they have to up their game and hopefully i will see a change next year.
I know what you mean about the rush for the baits in the morning which i find highly amusing. The reason why there was such a rush this year was the fact that there where not that many bait fish around and to get what every body wanted the skippers had to get to the small bait boats first
Hopefully i will get to guide you some where else in the world one day
All the best

I informed Paul Stevens while we were waiting for the plane at Heathrow that I was only interested in catching
Rooster fish and to this end I wished to swap my Cruiser Trips for a Panga boat. Paul said this was not possible
due to the way the boats had been booked.
The first trip, a panga boat, the guide refused to take us Rooster fishing. Paul was so informed.
The second trip, a panga boat, with Paul on board, I was taken Amber Jack fishing for 6 hours. When we were down
to two half dead live bait we went Rooster fishing which was unsuccessful.
The third trip, a cruiser, we went for Marlin / Sailfish for 71/2 hours and Rooster fishing for 1/2 hour on the way back.
With only 2 days left I couldn't rely on Paul for me
to catch my target fish, he either didn't care or thought all anglers
want to catch Marlin etc. so I hired a panga boat at a cost of $377 and was successful.
Hi Tony, thank you so much for taking the time to fill out your customer feed back form.
As you were aware, you were travelling on a group trip where other peoples needs had to be met which are sometimes different to each others. When we spoke at the airport about Panga fishing boats i was un aware if they had any spare boats so could not guarantee you swapping your days around.
As i said to you when you returned from your first days fishing on the Panga, did you tell the skipper of the boat what you wanted to fish for?
On your second days Panga fishing: Every boat struggled to get big baits which is what was needed for the Rooster fishing so we managed to get 20 big Live baits hoping they would last the day. No one expected the Amber Jack fishing to be as good as it was, with you i believe catching one nearly 50lb which was massive. We had so many bites when we were fishing for the Amber Jacks that before long we were short of bait. I then tried to get the skipper to get some more bigger baits for some Rooster fishing and he called lots of people and did not have any luck. As you had requested to go Rooster fishing we made the decision to give it a go with what we had left and unfortunately we did not have any luck.
On the third days fishing the weather was exactly right for the Marlin, high winds and a good chop on the surface so the decision was made by the majority of people to go out Marlin fishing as it was the first day on the bigger boat. Some boats did ok and some didn't but thats fishing and any big game angler will understand that is the way it goes sometimes. As the skipper in your boat did not manage anything on this day he decided to keep you out a little longer and try for a Rooster as he was aware you wanted one.
On the fourth day you told me you wanted a Panga to your self for the last two days which i promptly booked for you and made sure you had the skipper of your choice. You then decided to spend the whole day on your own fishing for Rooster and you had success, so a massive well done on achieving your target. You then informed me that you didn't want the Panga for your last days fishing and was happy to back on the Cruiser for your last day.
I am sorry that you thought i did not help you much but it was a group trip with 6 other anglers all wanting other targets and i done my best to make sure everyones needs were met
Hopefully you still had a great holiday and once again well done on your Rooster
All the best
