Fresh Herradura Fishing Reports

The weather tends to be nice in early May. Low chances of rain, especially during the mornings. It's not usually too windy, so not very choppy. There's mahi to be had at this time of the year, though they tend to be on the smaller size. You can go chase yellow-tail, but it might be too far offshore for a half-day trip, so if yellow-tail is your target I'd go for a full-day trip. Bring lots of sunscreen and sun protection (long sleeve shirt, hat, sunglasses)

Be prepared for the heat, and follow the captains advise. You can’t change what is biting and what is not.

Fish with Captain Randy and Dave! Kid friendly and extremely knowledgeable.

Go with Capitan Andres, and DO NOT rent your car from HERTZ at the San Jose airport.

Be prepared for a workout on a yellow fin tuna. Much harder than I expected but worth the all the effort!

The sun is bright and the weather is beautiful. Message the captains before booking and understand what style of fishing they do, such as trolling, jigging, stick baits, drifting live bait. I like to have options and a captain that is willing to switch things up as conditions might dictate,

Its hot.... sun protection and cooling off in cold water is essential. Be prepared for the hours of trolling

Take the time to get to know the local captains. They know where the fish are!

Great time for rooster , snapper and mahi although bill fish bite coming on a little early too. Blame that on al gore I guess.

Full day is best to get out as far as you need to fish for the big fish. Bathe yourself in sunscreen!

These excursions are not for the hardcore fishermen types who want to do everything, i.e., bait the hooks, throw the lines out, etc.,

Do your research. Read and write honest reviews and keep a positive attitude! It is a beautiful experience!!

We also cruised out to Pacific ocean for deep sea fishing. Waves were gentle and the ride was smooth.

Bring plenty of sunscreen and if possible bring a hand towel to wipe your hands when you get fish juice on them! Don't eat a big breakfast before going out, because the head on some boats aren't like what you'd find at a 4-Seasons resort! And if the bite is on, you'll be dead tired by the end of the day!!

Probably some of the best fishing in the world out of this port. Bring lots of protection from sun, long sleeve fishing shirts and pull over masks are great

The Mahi Mahi and Yellowfin are plentiful in August and the weather is goegeous! A bit of rain here and there but nothing you can’t handle!

Que MAD MARLIN II es la mejor opción para iniciar la pesca por primera vez...con equipos completos para una buena experiencia de pesca familiar.

Please book with Circle Hook! Get full-day so that you can get offshore and work your way to shore.

The fishing license they make you buy is the biggest scam.. it sucks that they don't include it in with your charter but you have to have it.. it's cheap I think it was 15 bucks a person.. you will see when you get one.. they basically just take your money.. but overall awesome place to fish! Worth the 15 bucks!

Always verify the weather, hard winds will cancel your trip so take your time to verify or ask always.
