What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora for the first time?

Yes great charter for Adults and children. Capt Martin and crew were awesome with my family and child making sure we were catching fish and having a good time. Relaxing to good music, beverages and hooking fish doesn’t get any better than that! We will definitely be going again.

Other than the heat, fishing is great. This was our fist time out in Puerto Penasco. We did a half day so we didn't go far out and target large sport fish. But was a great time pulling in Triggers and smaller reef fish. Definitely will be back out fishing soon. Thinking a little further out chasing bigger ones next time.

If you want small game go with this trip. They know where the fish are at but if you want big game like 50lb fish go with another charter. And mahi mahi is apparently a target fish of theirs but they told us on the trip that they don’t even fish for mahi mahi.

Book through Fishing Booker. Read the reviews! E-mail the Captain with questions prior to your trip. Make sure you both have the same expectations of where you will go and what species you will target. DO NOT book with the salespeople on the malecon! You will be wasting your time and money on a very forgettable trip.

This is mostly a bottom fishing fishery. Fish are generally under 10 lbs., but bigger fish are possible. If you are just looking for a fun day on the water any of the guides here will be great. If you are a more serious angler I would recommend bringing your own gear and be ready to try things your skipper may not be familiar with if different opportunities arise.and be flexible.

Fish with Chilean or bass meat as bait, make sure your line and bait are at bottom of sea floor, when you feel the line bump pull fast and hard to lay the hook, also trigger fish fight pretty hard for so have fun?

FISHING BOOKER......... made it so simple , in the past we have walked the harbor dock, talked to the various capts, and it was time and labor to haggle & accomplish a fishing set up day/price with a Capt. This was made so easy on line, direction was good. And it went extremely well. The price was FAIR & exactly as quoted, the pictures of the capt and boat as shown. We had a enjoyable experience. We had price comparisons on line, could pick our date, time , and price. Worked well for us and would recommend FISHING BOOKER. Roger & Janet Arizona

We caught the fish we were told were likely on half day trip. Would have like to have caught Grouper, Snapper and some larger fish but our expectations were met. Children would be OK depending on age and patience level for 4 hours, but longer might not work. Beware the sun and reflected sun -- hat, long sleeves and pants, sunscreen, protect ears and nose. Food and drink provided a plus. Follow instructions of charter co. on arrival/payment details. Keep company informed of changes in head count.

Pretty much everyone only does reef fishing. We went in November and I was told by a guy on the beach there isn't enough daylight to go deep sea in Nov through March.?

Check seasons on what kind of fish you want to catch and plan accordingly. Even reach out to the captain before and see what the options are.

Late August is very warm/hot at Rocky Point (118 degrees on the day we went).Fishing was excellent but would probably be more enjoyable during cooler temperatures.

Yes you will catch something regardless just throw the line in and get ready to start yanking and reeling,

The water was a little rough so motion sickness brackets or Dramamine! We loved it and were catching fish like crazy!

Use Fishing Booker, or do business directly with a captain of a local fishing charter. Beware of the "my uncle owns a boat" guy who is a middle man scammer.

Choose your charter company carefully, they make all the difference between a so-so trip and a great one.

Bring a fishing pole and you can keep fishing off the docks when your trip is over. You can catch trigger fish, halibut and sting rays.

I don't have much experience but the crew was helpful. It was the most beautiful day anyone could ask for when we went out!

The fishing here is primarily bottom fishing for smaller fish. A good number of fish caught can be expected. If your looking for bigger game, you need to get further south in the Sea of Cortez.

Didn't know about slacktied and high tide difference and it was a high tide. Was told to go on slack tide which I will keep in mind now.

It was our first time and it was great fun. We caught mostly Trigger fish on our 3/4 day adventure with Del Mar Fishing Charters.

The Captain said the winds are high in June, July, and August. We are lucky we were able to reschedule for another day.

I would recommend just getting out there and seeing what there is, make sure you’re prepared for the sun as well.

This place is great for either beginners or experienced anglers. If you have no experience and want to get hooked on fishing, try a half day trip and you will be back for more.

Make sure you have a captain who knows where the fish are and is willing to move you around to get them. Jefe would be our first choice.

Yes. The volume of fish can be plentiful, albeit smaller fish. Options for larger fish exist, but may be less plentiful. Each angler's decision to make.

Tell your Captain EXACTLY what kind of fishing experience you want. Otherwise, they can putter around the Bay and just catch basic fish. Not a high skill level. Croakers are everywhere.

See Capt. Jaimez at Pelican fishing charter He was really great one of the best days I have had in a long time. Caught so many fish and the trip was 1st rate.

We were all first time fisherman and Christopher made sure we all caught fish and had a great time while doing it!

Schedule your trip well in advance and give yourself flexibility in the Spring forrl for inclimate weather.

Absolutely fantastic, We will Return. Carlos and Dillon where perfect as crew. The 4 of us had a great time.
