Summary

Wesley Brough — better known as Cabo Surf Caster — has been fishing the beaches of Baja for over 25 years. From trophy roosterfish to monster Pacific cubera snapper and mahi right from the sand, Wesley has dialed in one of the most unique surf fisheries in the world. In this conversation, we talk about Baja’s seasons, species behavior, lure tactics, guiding in Cabo, and what makes land-based fishing so addictive. Wesley also shares the behind-the-scenes strategy behind his epic social media clips that get millions of views. Some of the moments I found most meaningful in this conversation were: How Baja’s beaches have changed — and where the fish still thrive The seasonal game plan from January to December for multiple species The insane story of landing a 73-pound Pacific cubera snapper on a surface lure Roosterfish “Godzilla mode” and how to time your cast perfectly The thrill (and heartbreak) of hooking big mahi from shore 00:00 Introduction 01:10 Growing Up in Cabo 06:45 Beach Access & Changing Coastlines 12:15 Seasonal Fishing Calendar in Baja 19:00 Tactics for Sierra Mackerel & Needlefish 28:10 Cubera Snapper on Topwater 39:30 Roosterfish Behavior & “Godzilla Mode” 51:15 Mahi in the Surf & Lost Giants 1:02:20 Life as a Full-Time Surf Fishing Guide 1:13:45 Social Media Strategy & Content Creation 1:21:00 Best Times to Visit Cabo for Fishing 🔗 Visit Wesley’s Website – https://cabosurfcaster.com 🔗 Connect With Wesley: Instagram → https://instagram.com/cabosurfcaster2 YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@CaboSurfCaster 📘 Free Resources: 🎁 Saltwater Knot Guide → https://bit.ly/3UnAeIP 🎙️ Tom Rowland Podcast → https://bit.ly/3O4lgn0 📺 Subscribe for More Unfiltered Conversations → https://www.youtube.com/saltwaterexperience?sub_confirmation=1 📱 Follow the Show: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/saltwater_experience/ TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@saltwaterexperience Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/tvswe #Roosterfish #SurfFishing #CaboMexico #FishingPodcast #SaltwaterLegends

0:00.0	If you want everything you need to take care of your boat, Starbright's got the solution.
0:04.5	It's called boat care in a bucket.
0:06.5	That's right, one three and a half gallon bucket packed with essentials, vinyl bright, deck cleaner, marine polish, a wash mitt, hull cleaner, and boat wash.
0:15.7	That one kit will keep any boat clean and protected, but that's just the start.
0:20.6	I also use star bright
0:21.7	salt off which is incredible for rinsing salt off after a day on the water. Their brushes and
0:26.8	cleaning products work just as well on your RV and patio furniture and anything else that
0:31.4	lives outside. It is a company that gives back. That's one of the things that I really like about
0:36.1	Starbright. Starbright supports
0:37.8	marine conservation through Project Seasafe, and that means a lot to me personally. You're
0:42.5	getting performance and purpose. Visit starbrite.com, that's S-T-A-R-B-R-I-T-E.com and get your boat dialed in for
0:51.2	the season. From the Seychelles to the Keys, I trust Nikon binoculars to find fish fast.
0:56.6	Visit Nikonusa.com and upgrade your line of sight.
1:00.3	I thought I was covered, but I wasn't.
1:02.2	H.H. Insurance showed me that my old policy did not cover the Bahamas or nighttime navigation,
1:08.9	two major gaps that could have cost me a lot.
1:12.4	Jake and Landon fixed it fast.
1:14.2	They know charter policies better than anyone I've ever worked with.
1:17.6	Call 727-498-5551 or visit h-h-h-insgroup.com and tell them Tom Rowland sent you.
1:27.5	Trusted enough to go with me to the Seychelles, my Danco pliers are a staple in my kit.
1:32.7	Check out Dancopliers.com and build yours today.
1:40.8	My name is Wesley Brough. I'm the Cabo Surfcaster online, and this is the Tom Rowland podcast.
