Oh my gosh! What an amazing fishing trip we had! We caught fish pretty much non-stop for the full time we were out there. Many of them weren’t the kind to keep, but we had so much fun reeling in fish after fish after fish. We caught a variety of very unusual fish today and in addition to the fish, we pulled out four sea snakes that were trying to steal our catch. (Very interesting to see.) We also hooked a pelican or two that were trying to steal our bait and our catch. That was especially entertaining—not that we hooked them but how interesting it was to see them close up. They gave us a LOT of laughs throughout the day.
We usually catch trigger fish, but today (in addition to two or three fish types we did not keep) we caught corvina and sea bass, which we kept. We also caught (and kept) two flounders and a big grouper (a first for us). The flounder and the grouper made for some very exciting anticipation—especially the grouper.
We have fished with Francisco for many years. We don’t always catch fish non-stop, but Francisco ALWAYS puts us on fish. We’ve never gone out and been skunked. And we frequently catch some unusual fish (like the flounder and grouper). One other time it was a shark (not the dangerous kind) and another was a yellow-fin tuna.
Francisco definitely knows how to Git Er Done!

Due to windy conditions we decided to cancel our trip for Tuesday 23rd of April 2024. It was Francisco’s concern about safety and the comfort for us to make the decision. Unfortunately we were leaving the following day and could not reschedule . I’ve fished on the Princesa several times and will do so again. Captain Francisco is very knowledgeable and is known as the #1 fisherman at the harbor. I’d recommend a fishing trip with Francisco for anyone when down in Puerto Penasco. Next trip we will try again. Wishing you calm seas, tight lines, and bent rods.

This was the best fishing trip! As soon as our lines hit the water it was literally “fish on”. Captain Francisco knew exactly where to fish and the activity never stopped. We even headed back a little early because we were so tired from the non stop action. We came home with no less than 50 fish among the 4 of us. We caught Sea Trout, Trigger Fish, Sea Bass and Mackrel. The Captain cleaned and fileted them all for us. He shared with us his knowledge on how to cook the different types of fish for best eating results. We will definitely be booking with Captain Francisco of La Princesa again in the future. However next time at his suggestion, we will be requesting that he demonstrate and share with us his expertise in making cerviche with some of our catch. We can’t wait! We had the greatest time and highly recommend this fishing excursion.
