Captain
Ivan N. Bonilla

Member since December 2018 Veracruz, Mexico
Background
My name is Ivan, I'm 44 years old, currently residing in Veracruz, Mexico with my wife and 2 daughters. I've previously lived in Florida for over 20 years and am both fluent in English and Spanish. My father was an avid fisherman and a hunter, so, naturally I spent a lot of time on the water and in the wildlife with him. Life in Southwest Florida is all about the beach and the water, so this is where I bought my first boat. I would go out fishing in my leisure time. Now that I live in Veracruz, known as one of the oldest port cities of the Americas, boating is just a must. There are a lot of beautiful areas to go out boating and fishing here, and the fauna is as rich as the Mexican culture.
Techniques
High speed vertical jigging, trolling. Participates in a lot of tournaments.

Lousy day to be out but Ivan and Juan were great

VERIFIED   Full Day Trip on July 30, 2022
Ivan and Juan provided an excellent day out on the water, mother nature not so much. Stormiest day of the week. It was my grandsonโ€™s...

Had a wonderful time. As for my first time booking a fishing charter in the ocean, I could not have had a better experience!...
