If you’re looking for a blend of culture, beaches, and serious angling action, then you can’t beat Mazatlán. This bustling city is home to historical landmarks, a 21-mile long boardwalk, and access to world-class deep sea fishing grounds. It’s no surprise, then, that a Mazatlán fishing adventure is top of the list of things to do here.
Inshore mangroves and estuaries are the first thing that catch an angler’s eye downtown. Spend your time exploring these productive shallow waters, and you could get your hands on local delicacies, such as Corvina, Pompano, and Jacks, along with exotic Roosterfish and strong Snook. Head a little further out, and the reefs are home to prized Groupers, Snappers, Seabass, and Amberjack.
And, as if that wasn’t enough, you’re just a stone’s throw from the mouth of the Sea of Cortez. The unusually warm water here attracts Sailfish and Mahi Mahi to within just a couple of miles from shore. Head out to the deep, and Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin are on the cards, along with delicious Tuna, and even Swordfish if you’ve got gear to take your bait deep enough!
With such a range of fishing grounds, it’s no surprise that Mazatlán fishing charters have plenty of trips on offer, too. Half day trips can take you to the shallows and out to the reefs, while a full day trip can see you explore the riches of the Sea of Cortez. If you want to get your hands on the true monsters, though, an extended full day trip to the Pacifc is your best bet!

Mazatlán fishing charters usually come with licenses covered for all on board. However, we suggest you check with your captain as it’s not always the case. Your professional guide will also make sure that you stick to all local bag and size limits.
