Captain
Bryan Lee Replogle

Member since November 2018 San Carlos, Mexico
Background
Bryan began running charters in 2007, turning his passion into a full-time profession. He loves being on the water and helping others catch fish and enjoy the Sea of Cortez. He owns the Shaka, a 29' Luhrs, and usually works all trips along with a local captain. He has fished the area for over 40 years and is widely known as a top fisherman in the area. With multiple tournament wins, Bryan knows how to catch fish. He prefers to go after sustainable fish populations, but will bottomfish if need be. Billfish are often found with the Dorado and Bryan will have one, or two, bait-and-switched before you know what is going on. All billfish are released. All eating fish will be fully cleaned, and smoked and vacuum-sealed if you desire. Excellent jigging gear is available and a Rapala sponsorship keeps us well stocked with trolling gear. We always purchase ample ballyhoo.. Bryan's father likes to supply him with a lot of custom rods. We will never hesitate to return and accommodate seasick passengers.
Techniques
Light tackle. Bait and switch. Whatever is productive or desired.
