Team Margarita Sportfishing – Shaka
Welcome to beautiful San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico. This extremely safe and tourist friendly small town has activities for all. Your guide has been a resident for twenty years and has visited for over 47. While he is an active kiteboarder, mountain biker, pickleball player, and more, his main passion is fishing, and helping others to catch fish.
You'll board Shaka at Marina San Carlos, centrally located in town with secure parking and multiple nearby shops, restaurants, and bars
Leaving the picturesque sheltered marina, we are usually greeted by beautiful ocean conditions. All steps will be taken to ensure your comfort, and we will not hesitate to return to port at your request, only charging for the time out on the water. A working head, air conditioning, fighting chair, and more are available, along with enough fishing tackle to fill a shop.
Seasons run into each other and there is always something to target. While a run to the Islamd (San Pedro Nolasco - 17mi.), or a run past the Reef (12mi.), are sometimes necessary, we are often loading up just miles from the dock.
November through May we are usually targeting California Yellowtail (an amberjack) on the troll, jigging, or casting, depending on conditions or the client's skills and/or wishes. Sierra and bonita fall in-between, bottomfishing is always an option, and inshore trolling for Gulf Grouper and cabrilla . Summer fishing usually provides some delicious Dorado for the table and a billfish release for the books. All fish are kept in the water for the safety of the fish and crew and the conservation of these slow growing species. As an experienced tournament winner, Bryan employs all techniques to ensure an enjoyable and sustainable catch. Dorado will be targeted on light gear when possible, and Bryan is a master of managing controlled chaos.
Finally, your Captain JJ, Arturo and Bryan control, bleed, ice, and fully clean your catch. Bryan can vacuum seal and even smoke your fish.

I was the only passenger today, and Arturo and the first mate were incredible. Multiple doubles, 9 yellowtail in the boat, and everything ran smoothly. Obvious attention to detail as they handled big fish brought on board, plus some sashimi on ride to the marina. Not bad for a 4 hr trip.

Lots of shade on top and deck. Relaxing and fun

Even though it was a slow bite. The crew worked exceptionally hard to find fish and were very easy to work with. These guys were great!!
It was a great experience, Arturo and Esteban were very kind and friendly, we’ll be coming back!


Crew was awesome and we ended up catching a couple fish!
Super great trip everyone nice and clean
Arriving at the Marina, wasn't sure what to expect since everyone was saying fishing has been slow. 20 minutes into the trip we started catching fish! Bryan and Arturo kept us going for the 6 hours. It got slow at times, but they WORKED and kept us on the fish, lost a few, but not a bad day when everyone else on the water weren't catching much. Big time thank you to Bryan and Arturo! Will definitely be back!

The captain and crew had us on fish almost immediately. Ended the day with 14 Dorados, a sailfish, which we released, and 2 skipjacks! Lost about 5 others as well. As for comfort, this is a smaller boat and would be perfect for 4. We had 5 and we’re a little cramped but not bad. We also went o. The 6 hour trip which was perfect. Experience was best I’ve had in San Carlos! Arturo the skipper new exactly what to do and used bait as well!! This was so good taking my 83 year old dad tomorrow! Booked a 4 hour tour and I’m sure they will have us on fish!!! Thanks guys!
Our trip was during a slower period but we still caught the fish I was hoping to catch! It was a great experience and the crew was of the best I have ever been with. I will be booking next time with them. Thank you!
