I’m glad I paid attention to the reviews.

It’s been pretty tough fishing for the Loreto fishing fleet unless you have bait, and this year, bait was extremely hard to come by. Even the bait sellers were raising their prices because the supply was very low.  But our skipper Jacinto and Chico resolved that issue by catching their own bait before we even boarded their boat.

As expected, the bait made a huge difference The fishing went great. We caught a tremendous variety of fish, yellow tail, dorado (mahi-mahi), bonito, snapper, a 4 ft rooster fish and an even bigger jack that towed us around for a little bit. 

While fishing, the dolphins put on a show. The crew positioned the boat in the middle of hundreds, maybe thousands of porpoises. They gave us an upfront and personal experience of being this close to these incredible animals.

Finally, the crew’s ability to overcome a tough situation by making bait, combined with years of acquired hands on knowledge made our trip a tremendous fishing experience for me and my daughter.

I highly recommend them to anyone! 

One of if not THE best day we’ve ever had on the water. Jacinto and Chico were accommodating in every way! We caught three nice yellowtail amberjacks and a handful of other bottom species but the fishing was only part of this amazing day. We got up close and personal with HUNDREDS of porpoises(three different pods)and a couple members of our group jumped in and got the chance to swim with them. Then on our way to another fishing spot Jacinto and Chico found a big group of sea lions sun bathing on the rocks and got us right up next to them for an awesome viewing and picture taking experience. And to wrap up our trip they brought us in to a beautiful cove with white sand beaches and let us get out and explore/ swim around for a while before we headed back into the marina. Then Jacinto took us to his home where we got to take pictures of our catch and watch him fillet our fish. He even taught one of our group members how to properly filet an amberjack and walked him through the whole process. If you’re trying to find the best captain in loreto look no further than Jacinto! You will not be disappointed

My friends and I had another fine outing on the Jazive1 with Jacinto and Chico. We were able to purchase live mackeral for bait, which yellowtail seem to prefer and started trolling in sight of the marina, because the water was churning with baitfish as yellowtail were in a feeding frenzy which was very exciting. We caught two quickly and lost another one before the feeding frenzy diminished. The largest was 33 pounds. What a fine way to start the day. Then we traveled out past Coronado Island and caught several more fish.  We enjoyed the comradery with the crew and the day flew by. We saw a large sting ray and some porpoises as well. After we returned to the marina, we drove with Jacinto to his house where he filleted our fish and bagged them. He then returned us to our rental house completing a very pleasant day.

We booked a day fly fishing with Jazive, Captain Jacintio Cuesta and his assistant Horatio (I hope I got that right). Capt. Cuesta and I communicated via email on the Fish Booker website. Capt. Cuesta returned all of our correspondence promptly. We used Google translate as the need arose. Capt. Cuesta greeted us at the entrance to the Marina and directed us to a kiosk where we purchased wrist bands at $7.50 pp. Mexican pesos were preferred for the wrist band but they accepted our dollars. I asked Capt. Cuesta to get us fishing licenses for the day at a cost of $17.75 pp. Our panga appeared to be one of the larger ones and was very clean and comfortable enough. There was clean, adequate storage for our personal items under the bow seat.
The fishing:
We found fish and brought them within casting distance by tossing live baits (sardinas). I highly recommend getting the sardinas if they are available. They cost around $20.
It was blowing 10 to 15 from the north with a 4’ swell and mixed 2’ wind waves. The captain slowed the boat down to make the ride comfortable. Both captains were very considerate in all regards throughout the day.
Mike fished on the raised deck on the bow and I fished the stern from the lower deck. There is room to cast from the lower deck both fore and aft. Long casts were not required but a half way decent back cast was helpful. The fish, dorado, jack crevalle and needle fish were up high so a floating line worked just fine. We each had follows from roosterfish but they turned off after a hard look. I was using a brown/tan Airhead fly and Mike had deceiver type in the same color. At the end of the day after hauling out we followed Capt. Cuesta to his storage yard where he artfully cleaned our catch, measuring the fillet before cutting so that they would fit flat in a ziplock bag. We took our fillets with us to the hotel and had them frozen.
This is a very professional and well managed operation. I highly recommend Jazive and Capt. Cuesta.

We flew down during hurricane Hilary. I have fished the Sea of Cortez several times over the past 25 years. This trip has to be one of my favorites, Jacinto had us on the fish as soon as we got to the fishing grounds, as a matter a fact when we got close we dropped in a couple of lures and arrived with a fish on. His boat was very clean and I know why, after every fish caught he would clean the deck. The seas were pretty ruff for the area he really focused on our safety, and which I really appreciate! My Spanish is not very good, but he made us feel like we had been friends for years.  We will be back with Jacinto very soon!
