Light Tackle Trolling: Similar technique as in billfishing, with the boat always moving, searching for fish while trolling the lures on the surface. The main difference is the size of the lures and bait we use as well as the games we target.

     This kind of Mazatlan fishing is rich with Dorado (Mahi-Mahi), Snook, Rooster Fish, Yellowfin Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, White Sea Bass, Sierra, Bonita, Chula (Frigate Mackerel), and Crevalle Jack.

Casting: While trolling around for game fish, it is common to find buoys made of plastic, palm leaves or pieces of wood that serve as a shelter for bait fish. This is the reason why other larger fish like the Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) go to these spots: to feed from them.

     Your casting trip includes (optional) trolling from the harbor in our search for these spots (we know where to find them!!). Once found, we stop the boat and let you cast the fish feeding there. It is an exciting fishing technique as there is a great chance to catch large amounts of Bull Dorados in Mazatlan. Also, casting can be done when large schools or even a single fish are found on the surface without the presence of a buoy.

     If you have never done this, the skipper will be glad to help you out. We’ll try our best to help you catch that big fish!!!

The Bottom Fishing Experience: This is a very exciting technique for everyone and definitely a good one for beginners and kids. In bottom fishing, we stop the boat and throw the lines with hook, bait and weight until they reach the bottom. That’s where lots of fish like Grouper, Red Snapper, Trigger Fish, Amberjack, Gulf Grouper, Mojarra, Spadefish, Flounder, Puffer Fish and many other are waiting for you to catch them!!

     The most famous bottom fishing spots in Mazatlan are the rocks around Stone and Goat Island, The Cardones rock, the Lighthouse, The Brother’s rock, The Sea Lions Rock, and The Three Islands. These are all very well reputed shallow rocky spots along Mazatlan coast line. Of course, we will also fish on shipwrecks and other reef spots that wouldn't like to disclose right now!!!!

     Bottom fishing usually means catching dozens of fish so, if what you want are large amounts, this is what you’re looking for!!!!
