Temo Sport Fishing Charters – Macho Banana

With Temo Sport Fishing Charters, the beautiful Pacific Sailfish can be all yours. If you are looking for an expert saltwater fly fishing guide in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, you have found the right place.

Captain Temo, the owner and operator of the company, is a native guide with three decades of experience. Temo’s life has always been filled with all things connected to fishing and he knows almost everything about it.

His family is famous for owning one of the oldest beachside seafood restaurants on Las Gatas. As soon as his friends and guests come back to shore, they can have their catch prepared in the restaurant while they sip an ice-cold cerveza with their toes in the sand.

Experience the ultimate fly fishing challenge: try catching large Billfish on the fly! Capt. Temo will show you how to make that one cast count, get the fish to bite, and hold on for the ride of a lifetime. You will be able to try spinning and trolling, using light tackle or conventional fishing gear.

Your target species will be Jack Crevalle, Roosterfish, Skipjack Tuna, Spanish Mackerel, Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Trevally, Needlefish, Grouper, Snapper, Mahi Mahi, and various types of Billfish.

Capt. Temo will take you out aboard his 25’ custom-built vessel. It comes powered by an 80 HP Suzuki and can cruise at a top speed of 30 knots. The boat can take up to 3 anglers and is fitted with electronics, a Porta- Potty, and professional equipment.

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