October / Cabo San Lucas
The Little Bisbee’s.
Its own tournament.
Bisbee’s Los Cabos Offshore is the October 12–17, 2026 event in Cabo San Lucas, with fishing on October 14–16.
Often called the Little Bisbee’s, it brings billfish, tuna and dorado competition to the marina before Black & Blue week. The two events have separate entries, fishing dates and award structures. This guide is exclusively about Los Cabos Offshore.
For visitors, the contrast is part of the appeal: early departures at sea, afternoon activity around the weigh station and evenings along the marina. For teams, the first priority is choosing the correct event and categories before completing an entry.
