If you're ready to start fishing in Herradura, look no further than RSportFishing. With Captain Rocha at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Broomtail Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Black Marlin, Striped Marlin, Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Roosterfish, and anything else that bites. On these trips, you can expect to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

You'll find yourself aboard a 28' center console with room for 4 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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.

Some essentials to bring are a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks provided on board.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that day dream into a reality, with RSportFishing.

    This captain was a breath of fresh air. Fishing is not a job for him it's a passion, we had to tell him when to go home.
