Cowboy Fishing runs angling trips out of Ayampe, Salango, and Las Tunas and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.

Come on aboard with Capt. Adam, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like trolling, jigging, popping, and spinning, based on the species you're targeting. Speaking of which, you have the option of 2 to 4-hour trips, where you'll be fishing for the likes of Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Tuna, Bonito, Needlefish, and Jack Crevalle, depending on the specific season and the day's weather.

When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price. No need to worry about fishing licenses, as they are not required. Bait isn't included in the trip price, so make sure to check with the captain what your options are before the trip. You can keep anything you catch, as long as it's legal to do so.

Here to help you with anything you need, the first mate will be on hand during the trip. Leaving a tip for a job well done is much appreciated. This is a children-friendly charter, so you're welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Cowboy Fishing.

Fishing with Adam
4 Hour Trip on July 18, 20252 adults
We had a great day of fishing with Adam and Junior. The boat was large and comfortable and Adam's gear was top notch. Adam put us on some fish within the first half-hour and was determined to help us catch as many fish as we could. Despite the choppy waters, we managed to catch 5 mackerels (and several more got away). I would definitely recommend Adam and his crew if you're in the area.

Thank you Joe! I am glad you had a great time. It was a bit choppy but the sierra and whales made it worth it.

Trip for Jason on September 15, 20245 adults
Fantastic experience, excellent captain and guide!! If we didn't catch a fish, it wouldn't matter. From planning through execution, the process was flawless and easy. Our guide, Adom, spoke perfect Spanish and English, giving our mixed group impeccable direction and enjoyable conversation. We honestly could not have asked for more!! This was truly a trip of a lifetime for some of our groups first chartered outing and Adom made it very special… AND we caught a mess of fish with incredible variety; fat Bonita to Tasty Spanish Mack's and a rainbow of others from 1 foot long to 4 feet long!!! Had to buy a second cooler AFTER our feast the night we caught our fill just to get all the meat home! What a BLAST!!!

What a day!
4 Hour Trip on October 9, 20241 adult
We only did a half day but the action was fantastic! Started slow until we figured out the water and what they were biting on and then the switch turned and we caught a bunch of fish. Crew was fantastic and Adam is a blast to fish with! I would highly recommend Adam and his team.

Half Day trip with Cowboy - Great Morning!
4 Hour Trip on March 19, 20232 adults2 children
Very communicative for trip planning. Was great with the kids, and very accommodating. Had us on the fish immediately, and when it slowed down we were able to enjoy the amazing sights - from sea lions and various waterfowl to secluded beaches and coastline formations. Was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the area. Will definitely book again!
