La Mejor Epoca para Pescar en la isla Cedros — Guía Estacional 2026

La Isla de Cedros no es solo uno de los mejores destinos de pesca deportiva en Baja California, sino que ofrece capturas de clase mundial durante todo el año. Sin embargo, como ocurre con cualquier destino de pesca de primer nivel, saber cuándo visitarlo marca la diferencia entre un buen viaje y una experiencia inolvidable. Esta guía detalla qué especies están picando en cada temporada en la Isla de Cedros, para que puedas planificar tu viaje de 2026 en función de las especies que deseas capturar.

Por qué la isla Cedros produce peces todo el año

Cedros Island sits in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California, where cold nutrient-rich currents from the north meet warmer southern waters. That convergence creates ideal conditions for baitfish — and where there’s bait, there are big fish. The result is one of the few destinations in the world where you can find quality sportfishing on every trip, no matter the month. The species change with the seasons. The conditions shift. But there is no bad time to fish Cedros Island — only different opportunities depending on when you go.

Pesca en la Isla de Cedros por temporada

Invierno (diciembre – febrero) — La temporada del jurel alcanza su punto álgido.

Winter is prime time for yellowtail at Cedros Island. Cold, clear Pacific water pushes yellowtail into feeding mode, and fish in the 20–40 lb range are common. Rockfish and lingcod are also abundant this time of year, offering consistent action for anglers targeting the bottom. Water temperatures drop into the low 60s°F, and the fish stack up around the island’s kelp edges and rocky structure. If trophy-size yellowtail is your goal, a winter trip with Toro puts you right in the middle of the best conditions of the year. 🎯 Target species: Yellowtail, rockfish, lingcod 📍 Best for: Anglers targeting large yellowtail and consistent bottom action

Primavera (marzo – mayo) — La ventana de transición

Spring is a transition season at Cedros Island, and it’s one of the most exciting times to fish. Yellowtail remain active as water temps begin to climb, and white seabass — one of the most prized sportfish on the Pacific coast — start to make an appearance as they move through the area. By late spring, the first signs of warmer blue water begin showing up, which sets the stage for summer tuna action. Spring trips often produce mixed bags with multiple species in the same day — a rare combination that experienced anglers know to target. 🎯 Target species: Yellowtail, white seabass, early bluefin tuna 📍 Best for: Anglers who want variety and the chance at multiple trophy species in one trip

Verano (junio – agosto) — Llega la temporada del atún

Summer is tuna season at Cedros Island. As warm water pushes up from the south, bluefin and yellowfin tuna move into range and the fishing shifts offshore. These are the trips that produce the photos you’ll be showing off for years — big fish, fast action, and full coolers. Yellowtail don’t disappear in summer. They simply share the spotlight. Summer at Cedros can mean a morning run on tuna followed by afternoon yellowtail fishing back near the island — two completely different fisheries in a single day. Water temps climb into the upper 60s to low 70s°F, and the blue water fishing that Cedros Island is legendary for is at its best. 🎯 Target species: Bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, yellowtail 📍 Best for: Tuna-focused anglers and anyone wanting the full Cedros Island blue water experience

Otoño (septiembre – noviembre) — Condiciones óptimas, menos afluencia

Fall is arguably the best all-around time to fish Cedros Island. Water temperatures are still warm from summer, tuna are still in range, and yellowtail fishing picks back up with intensity as fish begin feeding heavily before winter. The crowds are thinner than summer and the conditions are some of the most consistent of the year. Late fall often produces the best yellowtail fishing of any season. Fish that have been feeding all summer are at peak weight, and the transition in water temps triggers aggressive feeding behavior. If you can only take one trip a year and want the highest probability of multiple species and big fish, fall is the season to book. Chasing a genuine trophy this fall? See our Trophy Yellowtail Gear & Tactics Guide for the specific setups and techniques that make the difference. 🎯 Target species: Yellowtail, bluefin tuna, white seabass 📍 Best for: Serious anglers who want maximum variety, top-weight fish, and fewer other boats on the water
