Fishing with Uli 

There’s a fish with your name on it in Zihuatanejo and Fishing with Uli will help you catch it! Captain Ulises will be your guide, which means you’ll tap into years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Barracuda, Bonito, Mackerel, Mahi Mahi, African Pompano Jack, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Needlefish, Pompano, Roosterfish, Sailfish, and whatever else is biting. During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

You’ll be welcome aboard a 25’ sportfishing vessel with room for 4 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

You can’t go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Fishing with Uli.
