All trips come with the necessary fishing equipment by Penn and Shimano, bait, lures, and licenses.

had a great day offshore on the Macho Banana today. Caught a bunch of nice Schoolie sized yellowfin tuna. saw some 100+# models as well. captain kept switching techniques as the bite continued to change throughout the day. run and gun type fishing chasing bird schools and boiling tuna. it was a very good time. good equipment and a very knowledgeable captain makes for a good day on the water. if your are ever in Zihua and want to spend some quality time on the big pond look these guys up!
Great day on the water with Temo Charters and Cptn. Margaro. Left the pier at 6:30am to a beautiful sunrise and calm seas. Margaro wanted to fish for Marlin and who was I to complain? Trolled for bait and then fast trolled to our fishing grounds about 20 miles out. First hit hammered the rod and we thought we had hooked our marlin. Then a monster mahi jumped about 100 yards on the far line. Unfortunately, with his second acrobatic leap 10 feet out of the water, the monster shook his head so hard that he snapped the line. Later in the day we hooked a very nice sailfish and managed to land it after a good fight. We didn't get our marlin, but all in all a great day on the water. Margaro is excellent at rigging his baits and always was attentive and knew what was going on around him. I've fished for years and in a lot of places and would highly recommend Temo Charters and Margaro.
Everytime I go with Anibal I catch exactly what we are looking for. great day hunting roosters this time.

We had a superb day day with Temu charters and captain Anibel (sp?). My special girl was very unsure about being out for hours on the open ocean. Never a problem. The seas were forgiving, the boat was perfect for the type of fishing I prefer... Low to the water with sun shelter and a very suitable, quiet Suzuki 90hp 4 cylinder motor... Quiet and smoke free. After about an hour run we spotted dolphins and diving seabirds... A great indicator of baitfish... And gamefish l nearby. We lost our first strike without knowing what we had hooked. Then in about 45 minutes of fishing we hooked the day's prize. An 80 pound sailfish, Sherry took the fighting chair. She huffed, puffed and squealed until that big boy was nestled in her lap. Then we turned it loose. Only one fish landed, but that experience will live with us forever. Anibel was a very friendly, savvy Skipper who kept the boat spotless.

Was planning a trip to Mexico and did some asking around and came up with macho 🍌 all was organized in advance price was really reasonable and our captain knowledgeable and friendly...brought some beverages and snacks.We had a number of bites and ended up with a beautiful sailfish which we released and a nice durado which made fora great meal for a bunch of us . Thanks 👍👍 2 thumbs up!
Captain Temo met us early at the dock to help us with everything we needed for the trip. Our fishing guide did an amazing job getting us on fish and letting us try multiple techniques and strategies. We caught four different species and even saw a whale!

The owner, Cap Temo is very responsive and answer all questions we add before the trip. We had fun with Peru on board. We booked 4 other days for the rest of our trip. I highly recommend!

Captain Melagro on the Macho Banana Boat owned by Captain Temo made my dreams come true today. Caught 2 Macho Dorados 1 Bonita and a Huge Pacific Sailfish 81" long approx 88lbs plus so much more. My Wife and I loved this trip so much we are looking to buy a place in Ixtapa the Fishing among other things is that good.
We had a great experience. Unfortunately not our best day only caught 4 fish in 4 hrs nothing huge but not the best season at this time either. But we still enjoyed our first trip out sea fishing and did catch a few. Definitely would recommend! Thank you temo
Anibal is an excellent fisherman and captain. I came a long way to fish in Mexico, and they delivered. You can't go wrong booking with this outfit.

Did a 3/4 day trip with Temo Sportfishing and had a great day on the water. The captain spoke very good English and the mate worked tirelessly to tease fish to the boat so I could cast my fly. My casting was off because I was standing on an open deck in rocking seas. My legs aren't what they used to be, but we managed to boat a good sized Jack Trevally that kicked my butt. The boat is not really set up for flyfishing , but we managed to have a very pleasant day.

Thanks for let us take you fishing
