Captain
Alfonso Novelo

Member since December 2018 Cozumel, Mexico
Background
My experience in sportfishing began with my grandfather and my father who are men of the sea. Of course, they are very recognized captains on the island of Cozumel. What started as a hobby became work that we enjoyed a lot. Since I was a child, sportfishing was instilled in me, and I'm delighted to continue doing it. Sportfishing is my passion, but I adhere to the rules of safety and care of the environment. These are essential rules that must be followed all the time. Going out fishing with the Happy Fisherman crew, you'll have the opportunity to get the best specimens of each species as well as having a nice time on the open seas. We have the best sportfishing equipment. You won't have to worry, the fishing rods and lures are part of the rent of the boat.
Techniques
specialized in deep sea fishing and bottom fishing. My greatest technique or style is based on the experience in baiting and find the best areas where good fish runs.
