Exceptional fishing from December through April. Often slows from May into early June, then picks up again and begins to peak in August or September.

Best fishing for the bigger ones corresponds with the marlin and sailfish season, but schools of these fish can almost always be found around Cano Island and further out.

Dorado:
Best runs are traditionally from late May through October.

Wahoo:
Not abundant, but an occasional Wahoo may be caught. The best times are May though October.
