A GREAT day with Big Ben fishing

Half Day Trip2 adults

We had the perfect half day booked through Big Ben fishing. Our captain, Jose, picked us up at the Zihua dock and we headed out to White Rock where we had a Bonito on the line within 15 minutes. We then headed out further and got onto a couple of schools of black fin tuna which were such fun to catch and bring in, non-stop action! We also got a Jack Cravelle. Just a great day topped off by seeing a pod of dolphins putting on a spectacular show as well as a Humpback whale on the way home. Jose and his son were wonderful hosts and sure know how to find the fish. Thanks for the best day!!

    Half Day Deep Sea Trip

    Full Day Trip – Deep Sea Fishing2 adults

    Fantastic Captain and Crew. Never lost a bite! My Sailfish was so big, it ripped the reel off the rod after about 20 minutes of reeling. The Captain fixed the situation on the fly and we got the fish in the boat after about 35 minutes! Wonderful day. Will definitely be doing it again!

    Full day with captain Jose

    Full Day Trip – Deep Sea Fishing2 adults

    My wife and I did a full day charter with Big Bens and had an excellent time. From Ben getting us from and back to our hotel to getting us extras for our trip. The day on the water with captain Jose and his mate Jose was excellent, nice boat , gear, fishing the captain spoke very good English and worked the gear very hard to get us on our fish. A must to experience a trip with Big Bens and captain Jose.

    Full day

    Full Day Trip – Deep Sea Fishing2 adults

    Everything with Big Ben’s was awesome. From my first conversation with Ben, fishing with captain Jose, to our return to our hotel, was organized, with no surprises. We caught some Bonita for bait, then landed 2 beautiful sailfish. We will definitely use Big Ben on our next trip to Ixtapa. Thank you all

    Half day trip with captain Juan

    Half Day Trip2 adults

    My two sons and I had a great half day of fishing. Caught mostly (large) needle fish, maybe 10 pounds or so. Also caught small mahi-mahi and bonito. Big Ben picked us up in a taxi and accompanied us to the fishing pier and his boat where captain Juan then took us out to the fishing grounds. Overall we paid for a half day but I felt as if we stayed out longer which was ok by us. Would recommend Big Ben and his fishing crew.

    Response from Charter operator

    Hi, how are you? I am happy that you and your two sons enjoyed this small game fishing trip ( half day) with our captain José. I hope to see you soon to go fishing again, and if you want to go find and catch the big one on a deep sea fishing trip. THANK YOU for your comments and for your recommendation. See you next time! CHEES. BIG BEN
