FLY FISHING: From the panga, your captain chums fresh live sardines to bring fish to the surface and hold them near the boat — giving you the critical seconds to drop the fly in the strike zone and strip fast. Our captains understand fly fishing and work specifically with fly anglers. This is not an afterthought. It is the primary method. SPORTFISHING: Our local cooperative heads out before dawn to net fresh live sardines and meets you on the water at Ensenada de Muertos. No time wasted hunting for bait — more time fishing. Target roosterfish, dorado, marlin, wahoo, tuna, and jack crevalle. All roosterfish are catch and release. These are world record waters and we fish them with respect.
