We try to anticipate questions you might have about your fishing experience and provide the answers here. If you need additional information please contact us .

YES! The fish you catch, you can keep, up to the daily limit. However, we do encourage the tagging and releasing of all billfish to preserve the stock.

Yes, we provide all the fishing equipment, but you are welcome to use your own. A list of items we recommend bringing can be found on the Deep Sea Fishing page.

The fishing trip is only canceled at the captains discression. More information can be found on our Policy page.

4.

There are a wide variety of species that are fished in the Sea of Cortez. We generally fish for Dorado, Yellow Fin Tuna, Rooster Fish, Wahoo, Sierra, Marlin (Blue, Striped, Black), Sailfish, and the occasional Mako Shark.

5.
Can we participate in tournaments?
Yes, we would love to participate in a tournament with you. We will participate in any tournament from Cabo San Lucas up to La Paz. Please call us for exact details regarding the tournament you are interested in.

6.
What is the water temperature?
The ocean is between 70 and 100 degrees F, depending on what time of year you are here.

7.
What is the daily fishing limit?
In ocean waters and estuaries the limit is a total of ten fish per person per day, with no more than 5 catches of a single specie. Exception applies to the species of Marlin, Sailfish, Swordfish and Shark, of which only one specimen from this group is allowed per day, and which counts as five toward the overall 10 fish limit. Dorado, Roosterfish, Shad, or Tarpon, only two samples from this group are allowed, and which count as five toward the overall 10 fish limit.

Limit on inland bodies of water (rivers, lakes, dams, etc.) is five fish per day, whether of a single specie or in combination.

Underwater fishing is limited to five fish per day, using rubber band or spring type harpoons, and only while skindiving.

There is no limit to the practice of "catch and release", as long as the fish that exceed the bag limit be returned to their environment in good survival condition.               

Where sportfishing is conducted from boats out at sea for longer than three days, the bag limit will be the equivalent of three times the amounts mentioned above.

8.
Do we need a fishing license?
Yes. When operating a boat that carries fishing equipment in Mexican waters, it is necessary to hold a valid fishing license for everybody aboard the boat, regardless of age and whether fishing or not. A Fishing License is not required when fishing from land.
