This was a trip of a lifetime! We are two middle aged women with some deep sea fishing experience and Captain Pollo was knowledgeable, kind and patient.  We caught our limit in yellow fin tuna, we saw a shark that ate half of the tuna I was reeling in, and we saw a whale family!  All in six short hours.  Captain Pollo was an awesome guide.  He knew right were to go to get us on fish.  He spotted the whale family miles away.  I don’t think he ever sat down.  Our fish were cleaned and filleted so we could take them to our resort to be frozen and then flown with us back to Nevada.  We will definitely use Captain Pollo again.  Don’t expect luxury, but expect a great day fishing, super friendly people, and an experience of a lifetime!

Captain Jesus was amazing from the time I reached out to him to the end of the charter. To start, my uber driver dropped me off at the wrong marina.  My uber app stopped working and he drove over and picked me up.  He told me up front what was biting and what fish we were going to look for.  I told him I wanted rooster fish and wasn’t concerned about any bill fish as I have caught them all. The trip started out a bit slow as the water wasn’t too warm.  He worked very hard trying different techniques.  He continuously was reaching out to other boats who were also experiencing a slow day.  One boat was able to hook up a rooster fish.  We headed that way and I caught two nice sized roosters within about 25 minutes and I was able to check those off my bucket list of fish. We caught a few more fish before heading back in.  He was very nice, knowledgeable, and made the trip fun.  I will definitely be going back out with him.

First, my charter request for this trip was not the typical request.  I am not staying somewhere that I could cook my fish and won’t be home quick enough to have it shipped. So, I asked for a catch and release trip and Jesus was happy to give me such a trip. I read a decent amount of reviews in here about Jesus and his lack of speaking english.  This is simply not true, Jesus english was perfectly fine and I had no issues communicating with him.

Jesus knew I wanted roosterfish and other shore fish and took me to the goods. We also picked up live bait outside of the marina, so have $30USD or $500 pesos ready to go.  Unlike some charters, Jesus handed me the rod and let me feel the bites and set the hooks - it felt like real fishing and not someone just handing me a rod with a fish on it.  We were quickly on the fish and landing roosterfish and spanish mackerels pretty consistently all morning.  We only paused because a few Humpback Whales and dolphin showed up and he was nice enough to get us some amazing views of such an enormous creature.

I know I wasn’t going after the sportfish, but Jesus still provided me with a fantastic day of fishing.  His boat was clean and comfortable and everything was in working order.  I truly have nothing but positive things to say about my day with Jesus.

We had an awesome time and I would HIGHLY recommend Jesus (Captain Pollo).  He was great at communication and went the extra mile to make sure we were all set to go and ready for a good day.  Our Captain, Alejandro, took us exactly where the fish were.  It was a very engaging day..not just endless hours of trolling.  We got 4 mackerel, a wahoo, 4 sea bass and a snapper.  So amazing.  We spotted dolphins, rays and turtles too.  I highly recommend these guys.
