Loreto Fishing
What can be expected when fishing the Loerto area in the Spring out in a boat? What's the normal cost for a boat for 1/2 day and full day.

Spring fishing here in Loreto is "Yellowtail Time"..
They could be up on the surface, and that means flyling mackrel for some great action!
You can expect to pay about $200 a day for a panga and guide to go out fishing..
Just stop by the marina and start talking to the captains about what they are catching and negociate your rate..

I prefer Pam, Baja Big Fish, too many 'boat rides' with Arturo
Dave
I moved to CO and they made me buy a little rod to make it feel like a real fish

ANYBODY BUT ARTURO! There are lots of great captains down at the boat ramp. Stop by the afternoon before and talk with them. And "yes" Baja Big Fish
is a good choice as well.

You will pay a premium at Baja Big Fish, Arturos, or any other outfitter.
It is a buyer's market in Loreto.
Spending a morning/afternoon at the marina talking to the local pangueros will definitely get you the best bang for the buck. And, you will learn a
lot in the process, as well.

I would second and third what CJ and Bill said.
Baja Big Fish lists their rates as a couple of bucks shy of $300 clams!!
That is about $100 clams more than what anyone can get a private panguero captain for.

Baja Bigfish costs a bit more, but they specialize in flyishing, have excellent captains, and have great trips and exceptional service.
Arturo's-- meh-- you'll do better by just going down to the marina and talking, as Bill and Tijereta said.
at the marina you might ask for:
Captain Rigo Davis, boat name is Aranxa.
Captain Francisco Davis, "Pajaro"
Captain Adrian with panga "Berlin"
Captain Pedro Davis with Pedro III.
They are the best of the best.

Many years ago we went out with a pangero by the name of Alejo Murillo. He was absolutly the best guide we have ever gone out to fish with. We
returned for several years but since we have moved to La Paz we have lost track of him. If you get a chance to go out with him you will be most
fortunate.

Alejo Murillo died this past summer......I fished with him and his son-in-law is our Captain, Jose Luis Mayoral Barreno.
Jose Luis is a great guide and a reasonable $200.00 for an 8+ hour day. His Loreto phone from the US is 01152-613-135-0405.
I have great memories of Alejo, he was a real "varon" with the most incredible flattop haircut. He will be missed!

I imagine that it is Alvaro Murillo of whom you speak. Alvaro is indeed a good fisherman, and a gentleman as well. He is still fishing on his panga
Sofia, still catching fish, and leaving his clients with full coolers and smiles on their faces.

Bill and to whom it may concern.
Alvaro Murillo Romero who fisheds the panga Syvia 111 has been my best friend for over 35 years, I first fisheded with him and his Brother Enrique in
1967, Later lived at San Nicholas with his Brother Enrrique for 4 years.
His Brother Alejo Murillowas also so a great fisherman and Bull chitter.
To me Alvaro Murillo is the best that I have ever known plus he is a Good man and has a wonderful family.
Try Him and tell him I sent you.

Alejo Murillo had the panga "Esgriselda" (you gotta love that name) and Alvaro Murillo is his brother.
And, yes, we lost Alejo to diabetes this past summer.

I confused the issue when I assumed that weebray was referring to Alvaro Murillo. I did not know Alvaro's brother Alejo by name, but with Loretana's
description can picture him with his perfect flattop. It was Alejo, who weebray apparently fished with, who recently died, not Skeet's best friend
and Alejo's brother Alavaro. Alvaro is alive and well.

Recent grumblings over Gringo's taking their "friends" and "family" out to fish has surfaced again. Those that are doing this should be punished and
dealt with individually. Recent articles written by Javier Chavez Davis in the Sudcaliforniano (On line) newspaper states that we are taking work away
from the locals and that something has to be done about it, even getting INM involved. His interviews were with President Alfonso Susarrey Amador and
Poncho Susarrey. Read the articles written on December 29, 2012. Yes, I feel sorry for the locals not having tourists to take out fishing, but its
apparent that they are trying to keep us from enjoying the sportfishing here.

Is it an issue of people (gringos) taking people out fishing for pay and calling them "friends and family" or do they have a problem with gringos with
a boat taking someone else fishing who actually is family or friends?
