Clarion I Sportfishing welcomes you to Manzanillo in Colima, Mexico! Spend a day on the water full of fun and excitement as you search for many prized species together with Captain Ramon Michel. The captain is a cordial angler who’ll take you both inshore and offshore and make sure you have a great fishing experience. Come aboard and have fun fishing!

Your trip starts on a 28’ Mako offshore sport fishing boat, a comfy vessel that runs on two 250 HP Johnson engines and can sit up to 6 guests. It uses GPS and radio systems for efficient navigation, has got a toilet and beds, and features a multimedia system and ice-box. The extensive onboard fishing gear includes a fighting chair, snorkeling equipment, outriggers, tuna tubes, and a livewell. A first mate will also be present to give you any help you may need.

Some of the various prized species you’ll have the chance to catch include Jack Crevalle, Mahi Mahi, Black Marlin, Roosterfish, Skipjack Tuna, and Spanish Mackerel. To attract them, you’ll be bottom fishing, trolling, and jigging, all using heavy tackle. Kids are more than welcome to join the trip and you’re free to take home the fish you catch. Just bear in mind that smoking isn’t allowed while on board.

Captain Ramon covers you for all the fishing gear, bait, catch cleaning, and even snacks and drinks. Just bring your licenses before you depart and you’ll be set to go.

Ramon's been around the water his whole life. He started off as a sailor at 18 years old and by the time he was 25, he was already the captain of Lori III. He perfected various fishing techniques such as trolling and fishing with a variety of bait and lures. The favorite part of his job is providing a great service and making sure the customers always have a great experience, even when the fish is not biting.
