It’s no surprise, we take pride in our fishing fleet. Every new guest that visits us, fall head over heels on their experience. That is why returning guests request the team they first fished with.
Our boat Maverick with Captain Jimmy Fajardo and crew, win the XVI Annual Club Nautico International Tournament, held in Guatemala.
Teams from the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, South Africa and the United States, battled for the coveted first place trophy.
The team stats on for the 3 day tourney: 112 sailfish raises, 98 bites and released 71. We are so excited to have such a great crew represent Pacific Fins.
At this very moment, we have our boat Chechos, with Captain Carlos, on the way to the El Salvador International Tournament. Good luck to our team!
The month of October, which is the start of our peak season, was just epic for all species; Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Stripe Marlin, Yellowfin tuna, Dorado and Roosterfish.
The hot Dorado bite we saw all Summer doesn’t seem to slow down. They just got bigger in size!

The Sailfish has been consistent through this period and the numbers of raises are ranging anywhere from 18 to 35 – and sometimes more. Doubles and triples are starting to be common.
Offshore, if you run into the Yellowfin tuna, the bite has been productive. Our average size tunas are in the 40-60-pound range. But, recently we got to witness a 184lb beast hit the dock.
The man in the blue suit, the blue marlin has reign supreme this month. Watching a blue marlin come into the spread and crash the party is a site like no other. Everyone’s heart rate goes into overdrive witnessing how it can swallow a 5-pound bonito like nothing. If that doesn’t get your attention, once hooked, you will see a spectacular jumping ability and power it possesses. All our groups have been raising anywhere from 2-3 fish per trip.
The Blue Marlin, something about them that will make everyone SMILE
Mixed in with the Sailfish, our clients have had their share of releasing striped marlin, which have produced Billfish Grandslams – a bucket list accomplishment many anglers want to achieve.
Rooster fishing… has been nothing short of amazing. When the waters near shore are clear, look out… these aggressive feeders are not just beautiful, they also pack a good fight.

If October was a sign of things to come, we suggest booking early. You don’t want to miss what this season has in stored.
