The Ultimate Sportfishing Experience
fishing
baja
The fishery in southern Baja is truly unique, offering the rare advantage of access to both the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific, giving us prime fishing opportunities for most of the year.
Our main operation is based in La Paz, where we provide day trips on well-maintained, clean, and comfortable boats of various sizes, along with multi-day land-based packages and liveaboard expeditions.
gulf of california
The abundance of marine life in the Sea of Cortez is renowned, and the fishing around the islands between La Paz and Loreto is exceptional. While our season runs from mid-March to mid-November, the most productive fishing typically occurs between April and July (fishing calendar). Beyond the outstanding fishing and vibrant sea life, the stunning scenery and anchorages in this area are truly otherworldly. Add in our top-notch service, and you’ve got the trip of a lifetime.
Best for: Yellowtail, almaco, roosterfish, grouper, snapper, dorado, striped and blue marlin
The pacific
The western side of the southern Baja peninsula bursts with life during the fall and winter months, as massive bait schools draw a variety of predators to the offshore waters, while the inshore reefs teem with life. Our operating area is vast, offering countless options—whether it’s some of the best wahoo fishing in Mexico, targeting giant yellowfin tuna, or casting at the now-famous bait balls to release double-digit numbers of marlin and dorado, to name just a few.
Best for: Yellowfin tuna, dorado, striped marlin, wahoo, yellowtail, grouper

LA paz fishing
The diversity of fish in our waters is incredible. Depending on the season, you can expect to catch species such as dorado, yellowfin tuna, striped, black, and blue marlin, sailfish, wahoo, yellowtail, almaco jack, roosterfish, grouper, snapper, and more.
In spring and early summer, we primarily target yellowtail, almaco jack, grouper, and snapper, using jigging, live bait, chumming, and casting techniques. As summer progresses, dorado become our main focus, followed by the arrival of pelagics like marlin, wahoo, and tuna. Jigging remains productive in deeper spots, while surface action heats up with both live bait and artificial lures.
Our team is dedicated to exceeding your expectations at every stage, from trip planning to ground logistics, and especially our captains—local experts who have spent their entire lives fishing these waters.
