Boulevard Tiburon s/n
San Jose Del Cabo, BS, Mexico

Running angling trips out of San Jose Del Cabo, Captain Pollo invites you to check out the local fishery in style.

Capt. Jesús is here to get you on some fish, and to make sure you have fun doing it. You’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, fly fishing, drift fishing, jigging, and popping, depending on what you’re going after. As part of their 4 to 7-hour trips, you can target species like Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Bonito, and Mackerel, depending on the current season and weather conditions.

Your adventure begins on board a 26’ Arca boat that can fit a maximum of 4 anglers. The boat is fitted with a toilet and an ice box. The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water. You’ll be able to keep any legal species caught during the trip.

Capt. Jesús runs trips together with his first mate, who’s there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done. You’ll find free drinks on the boat for your convenience, but you’re always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.
