Blue Water Hunting
This excursion is the perfect combination of on-board luxury and raw adrenaline as we head into the world class fishing waters of Pacific Mexico for the ultimate open ocean spearfishing adventure.
Description
Our most outstanding experience, the Blue Water Hunting expedition is unlike any other. Offshore is where fish stories need no exaggeration. Dozens of Mahi-mahi circling under a driftwood log, Marlin moving in and out of a bait ball, Yellowfin Tuna schools barreling past as you dive into the open blue, and of course the pure adrenaline rush of a thrilling and successful hunt.

Fishing Sites & Seasons
Corbetena: Only 16 miles from the coast, La Corbetena is a truly unique spot for both rod & reel and underwater hunting. The rock formation comes up from the depths with an uncanny ability to hold steady presence of Yellowfin Tuna and other pelagic marine life close to the shore that would otherwise only be found roaming the expanse of the open ocean.
El Banco: Located approximately 32 miles offshore, El Banco is the primo choice location for fishing tournaments. El Banco is our staff’s most recommended site; a stretch of submerged reef famous for its big game such as Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and large Snappers.
Unnamed: Another favorite of ours is a spot located between La Corbetena and El Banco that has an underwater slope; a favorite feeding location for large schools of tuna.
June to early January: This part of the year boasts the largest catches of Yellowfin Tuna (up to 400 pounds) and other tropical species. The ocean tends to be calmer, well into the 80 degree temps, and visibility can be up to 80 feet at our offshore sites.
January through June: The cooler water brings large Snappers and cold water fish into range along with the visit of Humpback whales that can be observed from the boat and heard underwater. Poor to fair coastal visibility improves quite a bit at offshore sites and can on occasion still reach 50 feet with a green hue to the nutrient rich water.
