I’d recommend Captain Jose Salazar. He put us on fish even though fishing was tough. AAA+++. Good man and entertaining trip.

Went for 1/2 day bottom fishing with El Gato Especial fishing. Everything went very well. We were greeted at the fishing charter area right on time and then introduced to our Captain who had the boat ready to go, equipped with baits, rods, water, sodas, and beers!

Once on the water, we were able to catch a fair amount of fish ranging from triggerfish, black sea bass, and sea trout.  Captain Jose knows the area very well as we went to about four different areas to keep catching fish!

Once back in port, he filleted oud all our fishes. He was very pleasant and we joked about the size of some of our catches. I would recommend El Gato Especial Fishing and will not hesitate to book again next time we are in Puerto Penasco.

Thank you Captain Checo!!

We had an amazing time!! We started the day fishing for bait. Upon arriving to our final destination for big fish, we immediately started catching trigger fish. There were several boats fishing around us watching us catch fish, while they were not catching anything.  After catching a 67lbs grouper and a 33lbs grouper other boats swarmed to our location. Even still they were not catching fish. They just watched us reel in trigger fish left and right. We ended the day with 20 trigger fish and 3 giant grouper. I am certain the success of our trip was due to the experience with the el gato crew! I will only be using Captain Checo from now on while I stay in Puerto Peñasco.

Very knowledgeable very accommodating for my twelve-year-old son and we had a great time I would recommend this trip to anyone who’s wanting a small group personal experience
As for the previous reviews that complained about the equipment it’s no worse than the same fishing gear you have in your own shed to fish in the States Everything worked no major malfunctions reeled in every fish we caught

I like the trip and my family had a great time.  The boat was order then it looked on the picture but worked fine.  The Captain was very personable and helpful with the kids.  He always had our hooks baited.  The ad said that there was live bait but that was not the case.  Just pieces of dead fish or fish we caught.  When you expect live bait and it’s advertised you should get live bait.  Other than that everything was great and we would go again.  The 4 hour trip was 280.00 usd and 2 hours more was 20 dollars.
