It worked like a charm!

Trip – Inshore2 adults

Captain was Alan Chavalas on the “Tarpon” boat. My daughter and I we had the boat and captain for ourselves. Within the first hour on the water, we caught 7 tunas. It was obvious that it’s beyond reason to keep so much fish so we asked Alan to switch to different species. We caught two Mexican needlefish, and mine was huge. To pull it - it gave better fight than salmon, if you know what I mean. Much better. And it tastes much better than lingcod or halibut. I liked the fiberglass boat, stable, vigorous, clean. Alan had water and beer in a cooler. Although we had speak mostly sign language (since I don’t speak Spanish) it wasn’t a problem. I guess I will learn some Spanish for the future fishing trips here.

    Caught a lot of fish

    Trip – Inshore • 5 adults • 3 children

    The captain knew what he was doing, and we caught a lot of fish. He cleaned the fish for us and gave us a good recommendation for restaurant.

    fishin Zihuatanejo

    Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    Nice day fishing today. caught some fish which is always the goal. no beer on the boat which if i would have known I would have brought my own but the ad kinda said beer would be on the boat. anyways....poor me!! captain was good, worked the gear the entire time, changing lures constantly, anyone who fishes can appreciate the effort of that when the fish arent biting. boat was clean and comfortable. would definitely recommend.

    Lots of fun!

    Trip – Offshore • 1 adult

    While I’ve been a fisherman for many years this was my first time offshore. We hooked our first marlin about 15 mins after our lines were in the water. As we got it to the boat we hooked another one. We kept the first one and released the second. We had one other bite the rest of the trip. While it would have been great to catch more I know there are days where they just stop biting. With rain coming in tomorrow I’m wondering if that’s the reason. Alan, the captain, worked hard to find fish but it wasn’t going to happen. It was a fun time regardless. I would your service to others. Adios amigos!

    7 Hour Inshore Trip with Captain Alan

    Trip – Inshore • 3 adults • 1 child

    Louis and our captain for the day, Alan, were professional, fun and quick to communicate with. Alan worked hard to get us on fish, and even though we were fishing in the off-season he was able to give us a great day and plenty of fish to reel in. We caught bonito and chula, which Alan filleted expertly and we grilled that night, delicious! After the fishing slowed down Alan took us to a local snorkeling spot to cool off. The experience was indescribable, a beautiful coral reef with bright colorful fish I had only ever seen in aquariums. Louis even went above and beyond and got us some cigars the day before our trip since we didn’t have time to find some. What’s a day fishing without a cigar? Thanks Louis! All in all it was a great experience and I’d be happy to fish with these guys again when we come back. I’d even like to bring my kid next time. Thanks again to Louis and Alan, see you again soon!
