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.

    An Awesome Experience!

    4 Hour Trip on December 22, 2025 • 1 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.

    Great day in San Carlos

    6 Hour Trip on July 19, 2025 • 4 adults

    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!

    Comfort or Catch? I prefer catch!

    3/4 Day Trip on September 29, 2023 • 5 adults

    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!

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.
