Escorted Big Game Fishing Cabo Mexico
fishing overview
Have you ever fancied going big game fishing but have always felt that you would like the reassurance of some extra guiding? Well now is your chance for each year we run a group trip guided by our English head guide Dave Plummer. Either these trips are ideal for beginners or experienced anglers for Dave will be on hand at all times to show you the ropes. They also are ideal for single anglers for you get to share fishing with other like minded people and forge new friendships along the way.
Why do we pick Mexico? Well it is probably the best place in the world to start big game fishing. Just the sheer number of fish and different species is amazing, making continuous action on most days. There are Sailfish, Black and Blue Marlin, Dorado, Yellowtail, Wahoo and many many Tuna to keep those reels buzzing. Then after a hard day of fishing, you will find yourself relaxing in the hotel bar and telling fishy stories, the only problem will be trying to get to bed at a decent hour, so you can go fishing the next morning.
Mexico's flagship fleet awaits you! Anchored just feet from the wide, sandy beaches at Palmas sits the largest and most modern fleet of sport fishing boats in all of Mexico, serviced by an ingenious, portable seaside dock. Included in the package is five days big game fishing based on two anglers per boat. Each morning you will set off with your captain and crew to fish and target the species of your choice. However, never pass up the opportunity of any fishing opportunity that arises while you are out to sea.
We run this annual group trip from our Palmas resort, which is the gem of Baja's East Cape, spanning the beachfront of the town of Los Barriles. Situated along a beautiful white sand beach, this first-class resort offers full amenities for anglers and families alike. The magnificent infinity edge pool and resort-style swim-up bar overlook the magnificent Sea of Cortez. The Jacuzzi pool is a favourite spot to relax, and the inside bar features a full selection of fine wines and liquors, plus ice-cold local beers.
