Bahía Pichilingue Km 7.5
La Paz, BS, Mexico

La Paz has a fish with your name on it, so let Hard Effort Sportfishing help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Roberto, so you'll benefit from their angling experience.

Mahi Mahi, Blue Marlin, Yellowfin Grouper, Goliath Grouper, Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, Rockfish, Thresher Shark, Roosterfish, Mako Shark, Sierra Mackerel, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the time of year. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Your adventure begins aboard a 36' Luhrs sportfisher that can carry up to 8 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks for you on board.

Your trip with Hard Effort Sportfishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Una de las mejores experiencias que hemos hecho en familia
Half Day Trip on March 27, 20264 adults2 children
Fue una gran experiencia, con un servicio de alta calidad, la tripulación super amable, muy lindos por considerar a nuestros niños con fruta y aguas. Sin duda super recomendable para hacer en familia, pocas veces puedes ver el proceso de la caza a la mesa en un solo día.

Great day on the Sea of Cortez
Full Day Trip on March 20, 20262 adults1 child
We had a great day on the water with Roberto and Pablo. Top notch boat and gear, and professional crew. We enjoyed burritos, civeche, and fresh sashimi they prepared from one of the fish we caught(dorado), as well as ice cold beer, water, and coke.

Captain Roberto and Freddy his first mate were awesome. They were very personable and worked very hard to give us the best possible fishing experience. They put us right on the fish as our group of four caught 8 tunas and 1 dorado! You cant do any better in La Paz.
