When is the best time to fish for sail, marlin, tuna, etc?
See our Fishing Calendar under Fishing Details.
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 fishing 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 fishing 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.
What fishing tackle is supplied on the trip?
All of our boats are fully equipped with top-of-the-line gear.

To fish in Mexico, you need either an US issued Salt-Water Fishing License, or a Mexican Salt-Water Fishing License, which may be purchased at our office for $12 USD.
