TROLLING This is what we are famous for. Peak fishing season runs from early March through July when Sailfish and Marlin are migrating through the canal. During these months the Puerto Aventuras marina fills up with yachts from several states and countries with one thing in mind - SAILFISH. Mucho, many SAILFISH. What this means is multiple shots at sailfish per day (15-20 is not at all unusual). Every year there are double digit grand slams (a sailfish, white and blue marlin in one day) and sometimes there are double grand slams (two slams in one day) and super grand slams (add a swordfish). Other abundant fish are: wahoo, dorado, tuna, kingfish, and barracuda. Best of all- we set our baits right as we exit the marina! No travel time. We have caught sails so close we have released them in the marina. With our expert English speaking captains you are virtually guaranteed to catch fish. All crews have at least 5 years experience fishing these grounds. ALL BILLFISH ARE RELEASED Our crew will fillet the rest of the fish so you can take it to your hotel or any of the 16 restaurants on property. All the fishing is done trolling dead baits (its against the law to use live bait) using 20 to 30 lb. standup Shimano TLD or Penn International gear, although a fighting chair will be provided upon request. Our bait of choice are small to medium ballyhoo rigged to skip or swim. At times we will add a strip bait (bonito or Dorado) or mullet. Two of our Captains are also experts at flyfishing. During the '98 season we caught to world record white marlin (women's 12 and 20 lb tippet.) You must specify when you book this trip that you want to flyfish and you must provide your own gear. Of course, all billfish are released. Trip includes: Captain, mate, tournament gear, fresh bait, beverages (not beer), licenses and fees. Full day includes lunch. What to bring: Sun block, hat, shades, comfortable clothes, money (taxis, beer, tips).
