Kayak fishing is probably the most extreme form of deep sea sportfishing around, especially in Cabo San Lucas, where there are more billfish than anywhere else on Earth. Once we run out to the fish, we launch the kayaks, which can be pedaled exclusively with your feet (keeping the hands free for the rod). To get the full experience of Kayak fishing, read this article, about a trip trip aboard the Knot So Slippery Lizzard (then named the Marlin Master I). The writer does not recommend kayak fishing, as it is EXTREMELY dangerous.
In order to rent our kayaks, you will have to undergo a short, but comprehensive safety briefing in our office, so be sure to factor an additional 30 minutes in before your start time. Kayaks rent at 150 USD each per day, in addition to the boat price. We provide all safety equipment, as well as a long and detailed waiver, which you must read and sign, before we will release the kayaks to you.
Slippery Lizzard Sportfishing supports the conservation of billfish (marlin, sailfish and swordfish). Catch and release, if possible. Keep Cabo San Lucas full of game fish. We also strictly enforce the release of all species found on the "Threatened" and "Endangered" lists, as posted by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) on the Red List.
WARNING: Know Before You Go: Big-game kayak fishing offers big thrills mixed with a dose of real danger. You don't have to be hooked up to Moby Dick or Jaws, or even a fish with teeth, to be injured or killed. Simply put, you can die kayak fishing. You can take a bad wrap on a leader and drown, take a blow or bite from a fish, or suffer injury from your own equipment or acts of nature.
The odds of injury increase exponentially with the size of the fish. No matter who watches your back, being low on the water with a desperate animal attached to sharp hooks, and possibly a gaff, puts you in an unsafe situation. Not only can a big fish drown you, it may attack you.
Cut loose any fish that poses a threat to your safety. Don't go out alone, and don't even launch unless you have all the safety gear, know how to use it, have a lot of experience, and have been trained by a professional. No fish is worth risking your life for. Before you commit to landing any large fish, gain enough experience, over a period of years, to know how to handle it, and know that something can go wrong no matter how well prepared you are.
