Seasons Catch

Jul 14, 2016 San Pedro

Just the best abroad the "UPRISING" Sun was shining the weather was sweet.... Every day it was different. It all starts early, as the early bird catches the fish. A cast of the net to catch the first batch of fresh Sardins. Once Sardins are on live well we are ready to go. The spot is chosen depending how the weather is. Head out to captains choice. Deeper water from 80 to 200 ft for big fish and in shallow water small fish. On flat days we went to the deep to catch the big fish and on the choppy days we stayed in to catch the snappers and small ones. Everyday a different experience. Fun Fun Fun.........

Good Fishing with "UPRISING TOURS"

May 25, 2015 San Pedro

Half day Reef Fishing

My family had a great time fishing with Capt. Eric, and his crew, my daughters and wife were comfortable from the time they stepped on the boat. It wasn’t long before we were on the fish. Brought them back to the resort and grilled up fresh that night. Thanks Capt Eric and crew!

We had a great time fishing in the morning followed by some snorkeling for conch. The captain and crew were amazing cooks and made delicious conch ceviche and fish for lunch. Could not have asked for a better day!

The crew did a fantastic job. They are very experienced and adjust to the conditions. Fishing was non stop action, saw rays and sharks while snorkeling and the food they prepared was also fantastic. I highly recommend.
