Pangas

   Panga Isamar - Sportfishing-Ixtapa.comOur local covered pangas are a unique fishing experience. Where else can you fish with world class fishermen for $210.00 a day for the entire boat? Many of our panga captains have been recognized as being fishermen of such quality, they have attracted the attention of several magazine articles, ESPN, etc.

    Spend a day chasing 200 pound plus tuna with Luis on the Gringo Loco, or our world leading sailfish tag and release captain Santiago on the  Gitana. Then another day with Aldolfo on the Dos Hermanos or Cheva on the Dos Hermanos II catching roosterfish to 80 pounds along our tropical pristine beaches. If you like to fly fish for sailfish, Captain Efrain will get it done. 

    Because of its speed and versatility, a panga is an ideal fishing machine for two men to have a great day on the water. You do not need to be on a half a million dollar yacht, because the fish only knows about the hook in the corner of its mouth.

Client testimonial about the Gaby:

I would like to comment a bit further on the quality of fishing with Margarito and Alan. I am a year round fishing guide in British Columbia, and although I am new to bill fishing, I can recognize an excellent guide when I see one. Captain Margarito has an amazing eye for details, ensuring that the teasers and baits were fishing just right and changing them frequently. His eye for raised fish is equally impressive, spotting fish long before I did, though I had my eyes peeled. He was constantly on the VHF and his cell phone with other captains figuring out where the fish were, and always found them. Margarito had a genuine desire to get us into fish and would switch tactics with confidence when the status quo wasn't working. All in all, it was one of the best crews I have fished with!

Finally, I would like to extend my thanks to you Ed. Your service enabled us to book with captains that were both qualified and that share our catch and release angling ethic. You were a pleasure to deal with and the extra little touches (like your dining guide and advice on what to do on non-fishing days) really added to the quality of the trip. So, thanks Ed! We would highly recommend your service to anyone heading down your way.
