A pesar de haber pescado poco, que eso solo depende de los peces, nos lo hemos pasado en grande, además el capitán ha decidido alargar una hora más para que pudiésemos pescar y, en esa hora, es cuando han picado. Gracias

Just by looking at a roosterfish (Nematistius pectoralis), you can immediately tell how they got their name. Their trademark dorsal fin resembles a giant mohawk or the comb of a rooster. Beyond the dorsal fins, the rest of the roosterfish body is unique as well. The biggest roosters weigh more than 60lb.

When trolling, the angler tries to raise a fish behind the boat using hookless teasers. Once the fish is there, the angler drops back a dead bait to a fish raised on a hookless teaser. Bait & Switch is probably the most exciting way of marlin fishing.

Fly fishing is a unique style of fishing compared to most other forms available. In the past, it was a technique that was used solely for freshwater fishing but that has changed and it is now possible it saltwater as well.
The casting style used to present a fly is much different from any other form of fishing.

FAQS Home
A fishing charter is a guided fishing trip where you hire a professional skipper or guide to take you out on a boat to fish.
On a fishing charter trip, you should bring sunscreen, weather-appropriate clothing, comfortable footwear, and personal items like a camera and ID. Aa cooler for storing fish is a nice-to-have. On most charters fishing tackle is provided on board (check this during the booking process though). Feel free to bring your own tackle if you want :-)
The cost of chartering a fishing boat varies depending on location, duration, boat size, and services provided. Prices can range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.
Tipping on a fishing charter is customary and generally ranges from 15% to 20% of the charter cost, but it can vary based on your satisfaction with the service and locality of the charter.
Wear weather-appropriate clothing, including layers and a rain jacket if necessary. Non-slip shoes or deck shoes with good traction are recommended. Don’t forget your cap :-)
A fishing license is typically not required when chartering a fishing boat, as the captain or guide holds the necessary licenses for the operation. However, it's essential to verify this with the charter skipper beforehand.
