Cowboy Fishing

Ayampe, Ecuador
8 reviews
I started fishing very young, riding my bike to local ponds and creeks in Texas and Oklahoma. I love to fish for Largemouth Bass and temperate Bass in the United States when I am visiting in my small 10' boat. I moved to Ecuador 12 years ago and since I have learned to fish in the ocean from the shore and from boats. I love to go after Snapper, Snook, Amberjack, and Mackerel from the boats and from the shore here in Ecuador.

    Where’s the 6 star button?!!

    Trip for Jason • 5 adults

    Fantastic experience, excellent captain and guide!! If we didn’t catch a fish, it wouldn’t matter. From planning through execution, the process was flawless and easy. Our guide, Adom, spoke perfect Spanish and English, giving our mixed group impeccable direction and enjoyable conversation. We honestly could not have asked for more!! This was truly a trip of a lifetime for some of our groups first chartered outing and Adom made it very special… AND we caught a mess of fish with incredible variety; fat Bonita to Tasty Spanish Mack’s and a rainbow of others from 1 foot long to 4 feet long!!! Had to buy a second cooler AFTER our feast the night we caught our fill just to get all the meat home! What a BLAST!!!

    Reported catch:
    Bonito
    Spanish Mackerel

    Fishing with Adam

    4 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    We had a great day of fishing with Adam and Junior. The boat was large and comfortable and Adam’s gear was top notch. Adam put us on some fish within the first half-hour and was determined to help us catch as many fish as we could. Despite the choppy waters, we managed to catch 5 mackerels (and several more got away). I would definitely recommend Adam and his crew if you’re in the area.

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you Joe! I am glad you had a great time. It was a bit choppy but the sierra and whales made it worth it.

    What a day!

    4 Hour Trip • 1 adult

    We only did a half day but the action was fantastic! Started slow until we figured out the water and what they were biting on and then the switch turned and we caught a bunch of fish. Crew was fantastic and Adam is a blast to fish with! I would highly recommend Adam and his team.

    Half Day trip with Cowboy - Great Morning!

    4 Hour Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    Very communicative for trip planning. Was great with the kids, and very accommodating. Had us on the fish immediately, and when it slowed down we were able to enjoy the amazing sights - from sea lions and various waterfowl to secluded beaches and coastline formations. Was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the area. Will definitely book again!

    We had a fun afternoon, despite not catching anything. Guide was personable, friendly and equally disappointed in lack of fish. The four hours was well spent regardless as the views from the water were spectacular.

    Adam is open and generous with his experience and knowledge of the best fishing spots in the area. His equipment is top class and up to the adventure. Going out with Adam is a guaranteed unforgettable memory that combines the honesty and purity of the cowboy spirit with some of the best natural wonders Ecuador's coast has to offer.
