Book your next trip with Amberjack Tours and find out what you're missing in Playa Flamingo. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Amber Lynn can tell you all about the local fishery.

Blue Marlin, Skipjack Tuna, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Roosterfish, Skipjack, Yellowfin Tuna, Giant Trevally, Cubera Snapper, Sailfish, Conger Eel, and more can be found in these waters if conditions are right.

Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Amber Lynn also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

You're free to bring home any fish you catch, provided they're within limits. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned. How's that for fresh seafood?

Children are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. You're welcome to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

Your boat for the day is a 32' Sportfishing with capacity for 5 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

You might 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.

Don't leave home without sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks provided on board.
