    We fish lakes in Alberta and Ontario, and waned to try ocean fishing. Boking was simple, communication up to our trip was good. On the boat, our crew was Alex and Martin. we hopped in he bat and we were off! No Spanish on our end, but not an issue as Alex and Martin worked with us great. Each spot we hit had the fish we were told we would get, and everyone pulled multiples in. Amberjack, Blue Runner, Trigger Fish, Yellow Snapper, Snort? Fish, Clw Fish and 1 Stingray. Back to sore when we were done, and a frea ceviche was prepared for us, which was also fantastic. 4 hour trip was perfect for our famly of 5 to get fish. Alex was also very informative and answered all of our questons, about the land, water, fish, area, and even sone local history. 10/10 recommend!

    Daniel’s crew, Captain Joey and First Mate Jared from Outcast Charters was fantastic! We did the reef fishing and stingray city charter. while the weather wasn’t ideal Joey and Jared made it the best trip of a lifeetime. we caught fish, dove for conch, and made it safely to stingray city. They are professional, funny, and know how to fish and navigate the waters. They even took the conch and cleaned it and took it to Tukka where the made the freshly caught conch cevice and cracked conch for us and it was amazing! Best of all, Joey and Jared joined us to eat the conch and have some laughs. This is truly the best tour we have ever had! Thank you again for a great day! Angie and Jason Young

    Another great day on the Pamela J. We ended up getting limits of rockfish extremely fast which led us to be very picky and only keeping the biggest fish to max out our limit. Which we ran back into the bay to fish for sharks and ray’s. Crab season starts next weekend. We have a lot of dates available message me or book for your Crab trip

    This fishing trip on El Guapo was the absolute best guided ocean fishing experience our group of 5 people has ever had. This crew (Hector "El Toro", Caesar and Alex) are Cancun OG fishermen to the core. They know how to get on fish, hook-up and put the guests in charge of the fun stuff! These guys don't rest, they are baiting, casting, cleaning, serving and just hustling the whole time. I've never seen a crew work like they do and completely happy the entire time. The results are irrefutable- their guests catch a lot of fish!!! Amazing.

    8 Hour shark fishing trip! We will start off by gigging or bowfishing stingrays for bait, which is probably more fun than shark fishing in itself! After we catch all the bait we need and are ready to move on to shark fishing we'll end up in the passes like Captiva Pass, or Boca Grande Pass to shark fish.

    What a day on the bay !

    We caught so much fish, including some beautiful, fat rockfish. I now have about 20 pounds in my freezer! Huge kudos to the captain for finding the best spots, and to Vincent for filleting our catch on the way back to the dock. We even reeled in a few small sharks, and my son was beyond happy. The crew was fantastic: professional, easygoing, and genuinely nice. Highly recommend this trip for families and anglers of any level. We'll definitely be back!

About Ray fishing

Size
5-7 feet
Food Value
Good
Game Quality
Average

Ray fishing targets flat, disc-shaped fish that roam sandy and muddy bottoms. Anglers prize them for powerful runs, stubborn fights, and the chance to land a true surprise catch. Common encounters include Stingrays and Eagle Rays, which can test your strength and tackle. If you enjoy steady pressure and a unique species, Ray fishing delivers.

Most Rays bite natural bait on the bottom. Skippers often use bottom fishing or slow drifting with cut fish, squid, or shrimp. In shallow, clear water, some anglers try gigging or bowfishing at night, where legal. Gigging uses a pole with prongs to spear fish in the shallows. A tough leader, steady drag, and circle hooks help secure the hookup and reduce deep hooking.

Expect a slow, patient approach over flats, bays, and estuaries, with bursts of hard pull when a Ray takes off. This is a great option for beginners, families, and anyone who likes a tug-of-war. Bring sun protection, non-slip shoes, and a camera. Use long-nose pliers and gloves for safer handling, and keep clear of the tail spine on Stingrays. Many anglers choose quick catch-and-release after a short photo and a careful revival.

Rules for Rays vary by location and species. Always check your local fishing license and permit needs before your trip. Confirm open seasons, harvest rules, and any protected species status. Some Rays are fully protected, and others may have strict limits. Your captain can explain current regulations and best practices for a legal, responsible Ray fishing experience.
