  • SPORT FISHING:

    Bill fishing boats are available for billfishing (marlin, sailfish) at the hotel. Equipment and bait are extra.Ý You need to make reservations the night before you go.Ý You can go for a full or 3/4 day.Ý Boats take 2-6 people. Lunch can be provided by the hotel.Ý (Have plenty of sun protection.)Ý You can also go after dorado, tuna and other varieties when the bill fishing slows down. Ponga fishing Pongas (small open boats) can be rented for trolling or casting.Ý Fish to catch include dorado (mahi mahi), yellowtail tuna, rooster fish, yahoo, barracuda, snapper, cabrilla and other varieties.Ý Equipment can be rented but you may want to bring your own if you want high quality equipment.Ý Lures are limited and you may want to bring some if you do not want to fish with bait. For pongas, shorter rods with spin or level winding reels strung with 20 -40lb line are good.Ý Fly rods (9wt.) can be used although most captains are not familiar with fly fishing techniques but they are learning.Ý Green and yellow poppers and streamers are best for dorado.Ý We hope to devlop some flyfishing "experts".Ý The fishing right off the hotel is excellent. Surfishing Surf fishing is excellent within an easy walk from the hotel.Ý An 8-12 foot light rod (steelhead or surf) is recommended with .5 oz. to 1.25 oz. lures. You can tryÝ 5/8 oz. to 1.25 oz. Krocodile or Kastmaster lures and similar silver or gold spoons.Ý Many other lures work.Ý Roosterfish, jack crevalle, sea bass, ladyfish, snapper, needlefish, and many other small to good sized fish can be caught close to shore. Very light tackle can be used for small fish close into the beach.Ý This is an interesting diversion for days when boat fishing is not good or you just want to spend a short time fishing.Ý Flyfishing from the beach can be excellent early in the morning and late in the day.Ý Use a #6-7 rod with Lefty's Deceivers and other sardine imitators. Rock fishing Many fish are caught off the rocks right in front of the hotel on light tackle.Ý Standard rock fishing techniques can be used - casting or still fishing.Ý Small lures, plastic squid,Ý bait, cheese, bread - almost anything will attract rock fish which can be taken to the kitchen to make fresh delightful ceviche for the cocktail hour.
