If you're looking to spice up your holiday with a spot of fishing, then California Norte has just the tonic for you. Across the Ensenada Bay to the depths of the Pacific, you'll have the chance to discover some productive waters, going after monster fish. From delicious Lingcod to monster Tuna, all your angling dreams will come true, as you make the most of your time in northern Mexico.
Who better to show you these waters than a local, experienced guide? Captain Chirac Arias fished recreationally for decades before seeing the chance to make a living out of his hobby. He's been running charters since 2003 and knows all the best fishing spots. He promises to do everything he can to get you reeling in the fish of your dreams and filling the boat.
Up to 7 guests are welcome aboard the 31' Pacemaker walkaround boat. Strong and sturdy, she'll ensure a smooth ride to even the remotest corners of the ocean. Make yourself at home on the spacious deck or in the comfortable cabin that comes fitted with bunks and a private toilet. Bring your own drinks and snacks aboard and make the most of a day on the water!
When it comes to the fishing, you'll have everything you need for a productive day out. Using the latest rods and reels, along with plenty of lures and maybe even bait, you'll go after some of the ocean's most prized creatures. Bottom fish the bay and target delicious Lingcod, Snappers, and Yellowtails, or head offshore to fight big game fish. It doesn't get much better than battling it it out with a Tuna, so get ready for the fishing trip of a lifetime.
Head back to shore with a boatful of fish and get ready to enjoy the fruits of your labor. The crew can even clean your catch for a nominal fee, so you can go eat right away. Let the memories of a productive day out linger long into the night and beyond, as you devour your catch in a beachside restaurant. Come aboard California Norte and experience a range of fishing like nowhere else!

Great experience very professional plenty of fish to catch. Friendly and patience. Amazing customer service.
Great crew with lots of experience, captain go above and beyond with his service to our group. Thank you captain Chirac and we will visit you again.
Thank you Kenny, hope to see you again very son!
We did the deep sea fishing with cap chirak and had an amazing time. chirak and his crew are terrific hosts and, although he might not appreciate this, he DOES know where the fish are!! We went out with a group of 8 people. There were seats for everyone and we went out for about a hour+ to find the right location. You still see land if that is concern. As soon as we got to the spot, the crew had poles and lines in the water for all (lines have double hook with double bait). We rotate around the ship so everyone has the opportunity for all locations on the boat, plus keep track of the lines. Within minutes the fish were caught - lots of fish (red snapper, sea bass, white fish). We cheered, we tangle lines, we lose bait and cap chirak and the crew are there with us. They quickly replace tangled lines with new pole, rebait the hooks, take photographs, even set the hook and hand off the poles until you get the hang of setting the hook. Every so often, we bring in the lines and the boat is moved back to the original location since we drift. Yes this is an awesome time! On the way back we watched them clean the fish which is pretty impressive. Prior to leaving, One item to keep in mind is that is deep sea fishing versus sport fishing. With deep sea you stay in one spot and drop lines; with sport fishing you are trolling looking for the marlins+. Since you are in one location rocking, sea sickness is a concern. I did take Dramamine and still was ill. In fact, 6 of the 8 of us were ill and we took a vote to come back a bit early (we had caught about 40 fish by then). cap chirak gave me some good tips on overcoming the sea sickness, which did work the first time. I probably should have taken more Dramamine during the outing. BTW - as soon as we started heading back, the sea sickness was gone. Regardless of the sea sickness, I would DEFINITELY do this again, and again, and again. I certainly didn't feel ill bringing in the two sea bass on the same line, and my 16 year old son never got ill (personally I think playing first shooter video games helped him NOT get sea sick!). cap chirak and the crew are AWESOME and made this one of the best fishing trips we have done in years thanks
Thank you very much, Benjy for your comment will help many people to make a good choice for all those interested. we love to serve you and we are at your service. Thank thanks you.
Yesterday was an unforgettable experience. Chirac is the best captain out of Ensenada. And the deck hand Jorge was very helpful. Definitely going back to do an offshore tuna trip next month. Thank you Chirac and Jorge!!!
Thanks for coming your welcome
Had a great time. The captain made fresh sashimi and it was seasoned to perfection.
Thanks your welcome
