Gerardo with El Vaquero Sport Fishing is a very knowledgeable & friendly guide who put us on the fish! As always, we prefer to recognize & recommend quality & local services…and we recommend Gerardo to anyone seeking a personalized guide who cares about their clients and not just the payout. My wife, who has never caught a fish herself, had a blast as well! Gerardo also recommended a Local restaurant to cook some of our catch for us immediately after arriving to the dock. Great job, Gerardo…We... More

My Dad, brother, and I went out with Gerardo on New Year’s day and we couldn’t have had a better time.

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.
