Make the most of your time in Elmendorf and go fishing with Mario Martinez. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Mario can tell you all about them.
These waters are known for Catfish, Redfish, and more – with any luck, you’ll have tight lines in no time. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Children are welcome, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
Your trip begins aboard a 19’ Blue Wave venter console with space for 5 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.
You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Your trip Fishing With Mario Martinez is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Mario made the trip fun the entire time. He put us on fish while teaching and explaining what and why he was doing things. I highly recommend Mario as he was also exceptionally great with our kids.

We had a great time, fishing with Mario ! We caught a couple of good ones, even though they weren't biting much. Possibly the full moon. But that's fishing. Mario is a great guide, easy to talk with and alot of fun. He tried hard keeping us on top of fish. And his misters came in real handy. Looking forward to booking more trips with him !

Mario is very knowledgeable of the both Buering and Calaveras lakes! Always helping our group catch the limit on Res drums. He makes it enjoyable with his high enthusiasm when the fish strike! Highly recommend a trip with him.
