Wences Team Sport Fishing invites to you explore the beautiful Mexican Pacific waters, including those of Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo. If you are looking for a wealth of local knowledge, punctuality, and professionalism, you have found the right place.

Take your family, friends, or fishing buddies with you and let the captain connect you to the outdoors. He and his crew specialize in various fishing techniques and tried-and-true methods that work best, including heavy tackle trolling, bottom fishing, jigging, drift fishing, and fly fishing.

With Wences Team Sport Fishing, you will be able to get your hands on various fish species that live up to 20 miles out. The list of your potential catches includes Roosterfish, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Sailfish, Needlefish, Little Tunny, Jack Crevalle, Mahi Mahi, and Barracuda. As well as that, you will be able to fight Black, Striped, and Blue Marlin.

All of the action will take place aboard the ‘Champagne II’, a 31’ Bertram with twin 250 HP Cummins engines. She is a seaworthy vessel with plenty of fishing space for up to 4 anglers. The Champagne II was built in 1979 and fully overhauled in 2017, rigged with a fighting chair, Tuna tubes, outriggers, electronics, and other accessories to make a great catch possible. The Champagne II is not only a fully outfitted boat; she also has all the comforts of home.

All trips come with the use of rods, reels, tackle, lures, licenses, drinks, and fly fishing equipment if needed. Please note that catch-and-release is mandatory for some species.

Full Day Trip on February 25, 2023

Great trip. Boat was clean and comfortable. Good gear. Crew was friendly, hard-working, and helpful. Noisy diesels made it difficult to talk in the cabin. Caught a 10# dorado (she was delicious) and three sailfish. Largest was 150# or better. Tried to catch-and-release, but one came to the boat mostly belly-up and the little one had part of its gills hanging out. Only bad part of the day was killing two sails. Would definitely go out with this crew again. BTW, went out on a Saturday so the mate's 15-year-old son was our second mate. Jorge was a lot of fun.

Our entire trip went very well. The Captain was waiting for us on the dock. He and the first mate spoke good english. The first mate kept the boat very clean. The captain and first mate worked hard to maximize our chances of catching fish. They frequently rotated baits and tried various tactics. The tackle was in good shape. We would go fishing with this group again!

Fishing with Raymundo Wences

VERIFIED

Full Day Trip on January 17, 2022

18 January 2022 Yesterday was another magical day aboard Raymundo Wences' legendary "Champayne II". We departed Zihuatanejo Pier promptly at 6:30 a. m. with Raymundo himself at the helm and first mate Victor, tirelessly preparing the gear and tackle. The boat was spotlessly clean and everything in perfect working condition. After a short cruise out to sea I landed my first fish of two at 8:32 a. m., a 90 inch Pacific Sailfish, and she was real fighter. My dear friend Eddie McCullar was with me and it was now his turn in the fighting chair. An hour or so later Eddie landed a 60 inch Mahi Mahi after an intense battle. Now it was my turn again. At 10:30 a. m. I had another 48 inch Mahi Mahi on the line and landed it without incident. Eddie was then back in the chair again and after a short lull he hooked into another monster Mahi Mahi. After an intense battle the 50 lb. test line snapped and this Mahi Mahi gave one last leap out of the water as if to say goodbye. First mate, Victor, prepared us a "ceviche dish", it was incredibly tasty and beautiful as well, we nibbled on it all the way back to Zihuatanejo Pier. It was our second trip aboard the "Champayne II", our previous trip was in January 2020 which yielded two large Pacific Sailfish, one of which hangs on my wall. We highly recommend Raymundo Wences' legendary "Champayne II". Gary Pearson & Eddie McCullar

Our captain Fidel and his son Daniel made some great fishing memories for us this Christmas Eve! My parents both caught a fish and it was all smiles for my six year old daughter on her first fishing trip. Thank you Wences Team! 5/5
