Captain
Jefe Cruz

Member since May 2018 Puerto Peñasco, Mexico
Background
I'm Jefe Cruz, I started as captain with tourists in 1993 Cabo San Lucas and I have been fishing Rocky Point (Puerto Peñasco) since 2008. I became a fisherman when I was a kid with my dad and my uncles. I've always been the happiest when on the water, and now I get to show other people why that's the case. You can count on me to always go the extra mile and help you make the most of your fishing trip and your visit to the beautiful Rocky Point Mexico.
Techniques
I prefer to fish with circle hooks since there are only bottom fish to catch. I use light tackle for local fishing and heavy tackle for grouper fishing
