Member since March 2018 Puerto Peñasco, Mexico
Background
I have been a captain for 10 years and have always been very passionate about fishing. For six years now, I have been operating my own boat. I became a tourist fisherman thanks to my brother who is also dedicated to fishing and has two boats on his own. We were the first ones in our family to become fishing professionals. My favorite thing is reef and bottom fishing. I'm always doing my best to catch fish with my customers and will move from reef to reef until we catch something to remember.
Techniques
Here with us at Rocky Point, the style of fishing is bottom fishing and my fishing technique varies from local fishing to deep fishing.
