Questions
Loreto vs Cabo?
Loreto is small-town fishing-village energy. Cabo is the party hub. The bachelor that wants serious fishing without the megaclub crowd picks Loreto. The bachelor that wants nightlife picks Cabo.
What's the catch?
Marlin (June-October peak), dorado (year-round, summer big), yellowtail (January-April), tuna (year-round). Catch-and-release rules on billfish; eat-the-meat allowed on dorado and tuna.
Boat capacity?
Most boats run 4-6 anglers. A full bachelor crew (8) needs 2 boats. The lodge can pair the boats; the boats meet up at lunch on Coronado Island.
