Welcome to beautiful San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico. This extremely safe and tourist friendly small town has activities for all. Your guide Bryan Replogle 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 Arturo and Bryan control, bleed, ice, and fully clean your catch. Bryan can vacuum seal and even smoke your fish.

Great Boat, Crew & Tackle
6 Hour Trip on October 25, 20252 adults

Our experience aboard Shaka was absolutely fantastic! The boat was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, equipped with all the tackle and gear we could possibly need. The crew was attentive from start to finish, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout the trip. They worked hard to find the fish, and even when the bite slowed down, they went above and beyond to take us to see an incredible pod of dolphins — truly a memorable moment! Everyone on board was friendly, engaging, and easy to communicate with, which made the entire outing both fun and relaxing.

An Awesome Experience!
4 Hour Trip on December 22, 20251 adult

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.

Reported catch:
Yellowtail Amberjack

great day on the water
4 Hour Trip on December 27, 20251 adult

Trust the captain and owner. I initially booked 8 hours, Bryan recommended splitting it into 2 four hour trips because the bite was in the AM, right out of the marina. caught 9 yellowtail on the first morning. None this trip.

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Bryan began running charters in 2007, turning his passion into a full-time profession. He loves being on the water and helping others catch fish and enjoy the Sea of Cortez. He owns the Shaka, a 29' Luhrs, and usually works all trips along with a local captain. He has fished the area for over 40 years and is widely known as a top fisherman in the area. With multiple tournament wins, Bryan knows how to catch fish. He prefers to go after sustainable fish populations, but will bottomfish if need be. Billfish are often found with the Dorado and Bryan will have one, or two, bait-and-switched before you know what is going on. All billfish are released. All eating fish will be fully cleaned, and smoked and vacuum-sealed if you desire. Excellent jigging gear is available and a Rapala sponsorship keeps us well stocked with trolling gear. We always purchase ample ballyhoo.. Bryan's father likes to supply him with a lot of custom rods. We will never hesitate to return and accommodate seasick passengers.
