Captain Rooster Fishing Charters operates out of Playa Gigante, Nicaragua, fishing both inshore and offshore in for the area’s top table and game species. “Captain Rooster” has been fishing these waters for years and is the man to go to for the best fishing Nicaragua has to offer.
Target Roosterfish, Jacks, Mackerel, and Bonito inshore for the perfect mix of table and game fish. Up for more of a challenge? Head offshore in search of Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Wahoo, Tuna, and more awesome big game pelagics.
Whatever you do, do it aboard a spacious boat with some great equipment packed safely aboard. Captain Rooster’s 28’ Casa Cross boat has tons of room for four anglers to fish in comfort. She is equipped with a livewell full of fresh bait and fishing equipment for a variety of different techniques.
Choose between trolling for game fish like Roosterfish and Sailfish, bottom fishing for tasty table favorites like Snappers, jigging for Jacks and Barracuda, or popping for Yellowtail and much more besides. If you fancy something more hands-on, you can also try out the boat’s great spearfishing equipment, getting up-close-and-personal for the ultimate fishing thrill.
Whatever you do, do it aboard a modern boat with an experienced captain who puts your safety and enjoyment before everything else to make sure you head home with a huge smile as well as some delicious fish.

Capitan was great. Found him in FishingBooker after several unreturned direct WhatsApp messages to others. Super windy conditions (atypical for this season), but we wanted to go anyway. Stayed inshore and loaded up on hard fighting jacks and lost a couple roosters. Highly recommend and would use again.

Guy knows the waters. Nice person and runs a tight ship for an in shore fishing trip. I recommend him and don’t write these often.
