See our Fishing Calendar.
I want to fish for a
specific species. Can we do that?
Yes, it is possible to target specific species, depending on the
time of year, location, water conditions {water temperature, barometric
pressure, underwater currents, etc] and the equipment you are using.
We will make every effort to fulfill your request.
Can we target wahoo?
Yes, but since wahoo are an incidental catch, usually taken while
trolling for another species, it is always hard to predict where
these non-schooling, open-water fish will be found. We can supply
wahoo lures, or you can bring your own.
Do you have a catch
and release program?
Yes, and we encourage all anglers to practice conservation. Let
the crew know that you want your fish released, and they will be
happy to take care of it.

break a rod, will I be charged?

fishing license? Is it included with the charter?
Yes, you do need a Mexican license, which we issue and include in
the price of the charter.

Fish - No Pay" policy?

your success. [See 3 Generations
of Champions]

tackle?

Where do I get my fish
cleaned?
