My Dad, brother, and I went out with Gerardo on New Year’s day and we couldn’t have had a better time. He knew exactly where to go to catch live bait quickly, and once we caught enough bait, we found plenty of fish to feed our group of 7 for the rest of our trip (and released plenty as well). We caught red snapper, cubera snapper, African Pompano, big eye trevally, and even had a Rooster on but it got away. Overall, we had an amazing day on the water with El Vaquero and would strongly recommend booking a trip with him. Thanks again Gerardo!

We caught a ton of fish of various species using several different techniques: Roosters on poppers, groupers and pacific bonita on fast jigs in 300’ of water, snapper with slow pitch jigs. Capt knows how to put you on fish and is a great all-around guy. Somehow he even got my wife (who doesn’t ever fish) to land a Rooster on drifted live bait. We had a blast!

Gerardo is an excellent fishing guide!  After the first day my wife and I were fortunately able to schedule a second day with him.  We caught two large Roosters, 4 nice Pompano,  a number of Snapper and a few other species.  Lots of great photographs and fun.  Gerardo is very professional, knows where the fish are and how to catch them. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great fishing experience.

I could not have asked for a better day of fishing with Capt. Gerardo. I’ve been on several guided trips, and this was by far the best. We were blessed with great weather and a great bite. Gerardo told me he has been fishing these waters for over 20 years, and it shows. He was very knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and professional.

El Vaquero is a good fishing captain. His boat is clean and orderly. He works hard to get fish on the line, a totally positive experience. We caught 3 jacks and some snapper. He even arranged for a large snapper we caught to be cooked for us at a local restaurant. All we had to do was show up for dinner.
