What would you recommend to anglers fishing in San Pedro for the first time?

We were so excited to try different fishing styles in San Pedro. My husband and daughter were excited to try and catch some bigger fish doing some deep sea fishing, however they got sea sick very quickly and it ruined the day. We also did some reef fishing, which was a little disappointing, but not the captains fault at all. Apparently when you go during a full moon, the fish aren’t as hungry during the day, since they feed more at night during this time. This is something we weren’t aware of. We might have timed our trip differently or maybe not booked as many fishing trips during our stay.

We had a great day with lots of fish and only moderate winds. The captains work diligently to maintain sustainable practices and the fishery has prospered from reduced tourism during Covid. Adding San Pedro to my list of recurring stops.

This wasn't a fish focused trip for me, but I did catch a bone fish from shore behind our resort with plastic grub. The wind was up most of the trip, so that made sight fishing difficult. There were lots of snapper around from shore around the resort's pier and by boat. They were taking plastics and sardines.

We fished spinning gear and I brought my own. If you fish with Nano you dont have to bring spinners, I left him 2 brand new set ups. Seems like alot of people fly fish for bonefish here. I dont know anything about that. But you would have had alot of opportunities

Fishing in San Pedro you are sure to catch a variety of fish on the reef using live bait like snapper, triggerfish and barracuda. Don't sit around the resort pool all day... Get out and fish!

Communicate with your captain on expectations and what kind of fishing you'd like to do prior to meeting. They are more than happy to accommodate when possible.

can’t catch fish if you’re not on the water, book Carlos and go make some memories

Get an opinion from someone who doesn't have a monetary interest in when best times to fish are.

Check the forecast and be flexible with the ability to fish inside the Reef or lagoon if the swells are too big or the fish aren't biting.

The wahoo and Marlin bite has slowed down for the season but the barracuda was good! Started picking up some grouper and mahi mahi! Our boat caught a huge bull!

Bring your own gear but get on the flats with a good guide day 1. You'll learn bait, locations and what's biting from the charter and then apply it to DIY fishing for later days.

We went in February and it was very windy so we couldn’t go deep sea fishing. We had to do reef fishing. I’m not sure if that’s the case all the time.

The area is beautiful. You can fish either within the reef or past the reef. Be sure to specify with the boat captain what type of fish you are looking to catch. We had a great time.

Well the sharks would eat your tuna or whatever you’re fishing for before you could real the fish in.

If you go with right company you can this is our 3rd trip but will not use freedom tours find someone else

Making it threw the reef channel can be quite rough, but the remainder of the trip was well worth it.

Good. Take your motion sickness pills! Two of our guys didn't and they got sick. Messed up the trip for the rest of us!

If new to fly fishing in salt water do your homework. It's not the same as fishing for trout or salmon but that's also what makes it interesting.

Book a big enough boat for the expected conditions. A 26 foot open boat would make for a less enjoyable trip in anything but calm seas. The “dry boat” was a good choice.

Diverse species and options to fish inside and reef oe outside reef for bigger game fish species.

Rogel adventures is the best! Booking with him in the future. Simply incredible captain!

Lots of fish around to try either reef fishing for fun with the Kids, or deep water fishing.

If you want to go to the reef make sure those with weak stomachs take Dramamine
