Great time on the water.
Half Day Trip - Local Fishing (AM) on May 25, 20265 adults
Captin Jose was great he got us right on the fish, when the bite slowed down he made sure to make a quick adjustment and move us to another area where the bite was super HOT when we got back to the harbor he cleaned our catch which was great I highly recommend El Gato Especial will definitely book when back in Rocky Point.

3/4 Day Trip - Local Fishing (AM) on April 2, 20266 adults
We caught a lot of fish. The captain was very helpful and patient with us. When we arrived we got right on the boat. Within 30 minutes we were catching fish. Great trip for our group because some of us are experienced and some first timers. Be ready for breezy conditions. Be on time and know you will pay before departure. Crew provides all the bate.

We did a 4 hour trip in the morning and had a great time! Our capitan/ fishing guide was great on getting us hooked on quick and relocating when the bite died. Ended up getting plenty of fish to take home. We even got bullied by a sea lion for a while! Super cool! Great for smaller group.
