here's a link to a video of fishing out of the Punta Sal Club hotel. It was done by Daniel Payet, he fished there in mid April. He was kind enough to send me a link. Looks like he had some marlin come up into the spread but didn't get any.......he had a mix of schooling yellowfin, some bottom fish and wahoo...the wahoo made it to the boat and look like they tasted rrrrrrrico. Check out the link, it's a pretty good video.

Daniel thanks again for the report, maybe some day we can fish down there together.

Talked to my partner Benito on Saturday, he tells me the last 5-6 weeks have been pretty good. It's been a mix of everything yellowfin, skipjack, mahi-mahi, frigate mackerel, lots of shark, the bill fish have beeen scarce though. The yellowfin have been on the small side, 2-4 kgs, no ones picked up any larger than 8 kgs, they should make great bait for bill fish if there were any around. I expect the fish to show April-May, seems things are a little late this year.....

I was in Mancora from 3 to 5 January, the commercial boats haven't been fishing locally, 1 because of New Year festivities, and 2 because the fishing has been happening 120 miles out off of Paita. Long way to run in a small boat. It's been mostly thresher sharks and a few swordfish. Things should be getting better now that summer is here. Pericos (mahi mahi) should be comming in strong any day now. I'll be posting again in a couple of weeks with better news.

Benito called in yesterday to report on the local catch. Looks like the Yellowfin tuna have been moving in as close as 10-12 miles out. Many boats were bringing more than 1 ton, Trino and his sons picked up 2 tons overnight, they also spotted several blue marlin from 350-400 lbs. The YFT are running 35-50lbs. Looks like it's shaping up to be a good season and it's still early.

Talked to Benito on the phone today, he reported a 300lbs blue marlin caught and released on Friday, the boat brought in almost 900lbs of schooling YFT from the Mancora bank. Sunday boats started picking up tuna off of El ņuro, so everyone is running that direction this afternoon. Winds are picking up again.

Back in California today (Thursday 19)left Mancora on Monday for Lima, long bus ride 20 hours.
Fished 3 days last week, Thursday through Saturday. We made bait in the dark in the anchorage. Loaded up on 6-8 inch mackerel and headed for the Mancora bank. Commericials had come in on Wednesday with some nice YFT in the 35 to 50 lbs class, and I saw 6 fish over 100 lbs. There were quite a few Yahoo also one was 85 lbs.

So we motored at a snails pace of 6 knots to the bank. Picked up a handful of skippies and small YFT on the way. We trolled the area about 32 miles from Mancora for a couple hours for nothing and move North about 10 miles til we had 2 jig strikes. landed 2 Yahoo at 45 and 50 lbs.

There were a lot of manta rays around, and birds working. We started picking up YFT, one here one there all school fish 18-20 lbs. Tried to get them to the boat, but they just wanted jigs.

At sun set we had a triple on nice YFT, 32, 48, and 53 lbs.As it got dark we soaked some mackerel and hooked up 5 bait fish, big one went 67 lbs.

Friday and Saturday were much the same as Thursday. Lot of searching, trolling and a few jig strikes. Had 2 nice fish on Friday evening, 78 and 93lbs YFT. Saturday we landed 4 Yahoo along with an assortment of schooling YFT.

We ended the day 65 miles from Mancora, 11 hour ride back, got into port at 7:00am Sunday. Pretty rough sleeping on the deck for 3 nights. The wind was down all week and only gentle breeze afternoons, much better than last week.

That was all the time I had for fishing, now back in California and it looks like the albacore are going to stay away again this year, nothing in SD and Central Coast. Might have to go back to Peru sooner if I want tuna.

sounds like there are tuna hanging around the oil platform off of Zorritos, only about 5 miles offshore, and about 6-7 hours from Mancora (by slow boat). The seiners have been wrapping them when the fish move away from the rig. Some of the Mancora boats are heading that direction. Should see whatīs there by Friday or Saturday. Winds are lighter last couple of days.

been in Mancora for a week, itīs been blowing pretty hard offshore, and there are a lot of humpbacks so most fishermen stayed in. A few went out on Monday and should have some reports by Friday. The El Ņuro fleet got into some pretty good jig fishing for YFT and some Wahoo last week

fished Saturday, tried out the same place out front about 7 miles, great weather, no signs of fish for a couple hours so we trolled out to about 12 miles and saw some birds working, we ended picking up 3 YFT and 1 Skipjack all about 14-15 lbs.

Sunday was the same, started about 10 miles in front, worked the same area and picked up 6 YFT and 1 dorado, the fish look like clones all 14 lbs.

Going back to California on Tuesday....

Fished Mother's day early, Started out in front of Mancora 5 miles and trolled to about 9 miles, then down towards el Ņuro, no boats around since it was Mother's day. We picked up 5 YFT 12 to 25 lbs, 2 large skippies, and one YFT at 65 lbs. So there are some larger tunas around. Saw 2 striped marlin on the way in about 6 miles out, had to come in early because everyone was going to parties. I don't think anyone will be out til Wednesday.

In Mancora for a few days. Haven't gone out yet, but the commercials have been doing great on yellowfin for the last couple months. This weekend the fish were 20 miles off of Talara, about 30 from here. And yesterday a boat picked up 50 YFT 7 miles straight out ALL FISH FROM 15 TO 30 LBS. Saw some big skipjacks to 15 lbs.

I messed around with some handline fishing from shore and with a cheap spin outfit. I used muy-muy for bait. I really didn't spend much time -- only a a few minutes one evening. I was disappointed there really wasn't much fishing action in the area. It was mainly surfers. I was with family so I didn't really have the time to travel to another beach in the area that I heard was better for fishing. Looking forward to some real fishing on my next trip down to Peru.

OK that worked so here's the report. The water was calm with light winds < 10 knots until 2 days before I left, then the winds started offshore <20. I was unable to go fishing this time, broke my foot....

For offshore spiecies I saw small quantities of school size tunas, YFT in the 15 lbs range, Skipjack to 8 lbs, lots of frigate mackerel some as large as the skipjacks, only saw one blue marlin brought in at about 400 lbs dressed, one big eye at 220 lbs, and quite a bit of shark mostly hammerhead. The boats didn't fish much because they said there were too many manta rays damaging their gear.

For inshore I noticed quite a large amount of bait near the beach, much more than I've seen in recent years. The commercials (beach seiners) were bringing in quite a bit of pacific mackerel, spanish mackerel, small bonito, small pompano, and sierra.

That's about it, slow offshore and will probably get slower as the seasonal winds start to pick up again.

What's needed here is a reliable sport boat operation.

Spent 10 days in Mancora, there wasn't much going on. The commercial fleet (net boats) was having a very difficult time catching. The jig boats from Cabo Blanco and el ņuro were doing well on jigs. Seems the tuna were there feeding on surface during the day, and would sound to the deep at night, so gillnetters couldn't catch them. I fished one day and picked up 5 YFT 7 to 9 kgs. I saw one come in at Cabo Blanco tip the scale at 135kgs, I'll try to post the picture I got when I can figure out how to reduce the size.

Jocelyn, thanks for all the info.

Do you know any about the fishing at Lake Titicaca?

I'll definitely be doing some kind of fishing in Peru in Sept., just not sure where yet. I'll keep doing some research online.

Just saw an ad in www.vivamancora.com from a company called Pacifico Adventures in Los Organos. They have 2 boats a 28' Wellcraft and a 22' panga. They might be a OK for fishing offshore, the pics look good anyway, but I don't know anything else about them. Their web page is www.pacificoadventures.com. I'll look em up when I return to Peru.

I don't think there are any peacock bass near Machu Picchu. You might find some trout in the local rivers. Peacock bass will be in places like Puerto Maldonado or Iquitos...jungle. Maldonado is only an hour from Cusco by plane.

There is good fishing for small halibut and sea bass on the beaches south of Lima all the way to the border with Chile. That's what I'm told.

The best fishing for me is North of Paita to Ecuador border. The water is warm and the variety of species amazing. The cold water from the South mixes with the warm Equatorial water. The Mancora bank is one of the most prodctive spots in the world.

It's dificult to make a sportfishing trip in Peru. Someone has to be there year round to keep catches coming in and reporting regularly. There just aren't any real sport boats (not yet anyway)and no understanding of sportfishing. That said if you are adventurous you will find ways to do it.

The Lady Victoria (from Punta Sal) has been sold to a couple of young guys that intend to put it to work out of Zorritos. Hope they do it right, there are some great bottom fishing spots just off of Zorritos, lots of grouper and cabrilla.

I don't have any pics of the large Big Eye tuna. Trino has several but the quality is not very good. The position of the fish in some pics make it look more like a porpoise. But it was certainly a Big Eye. I'll have to bring my digital camera next time and show them how to position the fish for the pic.

Good luck catching peacok bass.

Wow, that's a big one! Do you have any pictures?

I'll be back to Peru in Sept. (but not Mancora). I'll be going to Machu Picchu. I want to get in some peacock bass fishing.

Jocelyn, where do you think are some of the best fishing opportunities in Peru?

I was in Mancora last week on business, didn't have time to fish. I did talk with some friends that told me there were tuna schools at 40+ miles, all school fish 15-30 lbs. But 2 weeks ago my friend Trino Llenque picked up one solitary Big Eye Tuna. He had set his gear 9 miles off Mancora. The fish was the biggest he ever caught....weighed in at 200kgs....that's 440lbs. WOW!!! Would have beat the world record 435lbs (from 1957 Cabo Blanco)but it was picked up on commercial gear.
It's good to know they still prowl those waters. Just need a decent boat to go out and look for them.

Found out there is a sportboat located in Punta Sal, about 20 mins by road North of Mancora, it's a 30' fiberglass boat with a small diesel, all safety gear and licensed by Peruvian coast guard for 8 people, has all tackle for inshore and offshore. Owner's name is Pete Kemble, he's from UK. It's a good option for fishing in Northern Peru.

Fished today 20 miles in front of Punta Sal. Picked up 38 YFT from 20-30 lbs each. All deep on live bait. The current changed as the day progressed and the water got colder, pushing North. Then the bite shut off. As we came in to Mancora there were bonito crashing everywhere, and bait getting picked up by the frigates.

Don't know if I'll go back out, I have to go back to work.

Fished yesterday (Monday) out in front and towards Punta Sal. We were about 12-16 miles out all day. A little bumpy in the afternoon but not bad. It's a lot worst near Cabo Blanco. Anyway, the fish didn't go. We picked up 3 YFT, footballs. Enough for lunch and dinner. But nothing else. Today I saw lot's of bait working 1/2 mile off Mancora, probably macs, water is cold nearshore. I'll be here a few more days. The fish will show sooner or later.

Was in Cabo Blanco today.
The wind was blowing early and the fleet was on it's way back in by noon. It was blowing a good 20 knots on the beach, so offshore I didn't want to be. The guys that came in had an assortment of school fish yellowfin and skipjacks. I spoke with a couple of fishermen that had some 100 plus pounders but weren't able to land them. So there are some nice fish around, just have to deal with the wind and look for the toads.

Went fishing today. Yesterday I was at the wharf and saw a boat bring in 2 blues (130 lbs and 425 lbs) and a striped marlin about 100 lbs. They had all the skippies you wanted, and about 30 yellowfin most in the mid teens. Two YFT were 105 and 115lbs. So I had to go out today. Trolled out by acapulco til 1 pm. Had an assortment of skipjacks and YFT, nothing bigger than 18 lbs. Saw one striped marlin but no go. Tomorow I'm going to Cabo blanco to look at a boat.

Good to hear from you Alex

Been in Mancora a few days now, seems there haven't been any fish for 2 weeks. The air temp is cool, low 60's at night and mid 70's during the day, water is around 60 degrees, no wind to speak of. Last Sunday some boats took off for Acapulco, 18 miles off the beach, there were yellowfin in the 40 to 60 pound range. That's a good sign. But I guess the bite was only a couple days. I'll report if the water warms up and I fish again.

Got an e-mail from the new owners of the boat Cristina. Seems Alex sold the boat a few months ago. Well the new owners name is Rene de Picker, owner of the Hanga Roa Bungalows in Los Organos where the Cristina is moored.

A friend from Panama fished with them a couple weeks ago and told me Alex no longer ran the boat. He told me that the fishing was dificult at best, the water was a cold 65 degrees. That's a great temp for Albacore, almost too hot, but not for Marlin, although I've seen Striped Marlin in colder water.

Well as often happens in Northern Peru the currents changed and the Ecuatorial Current started pushing South this last week. Rene tells me he was into several tuna and a Wahoo, and did spot a Marlin that followed the boat but didn't take the bait. And that yesterday they sent out a charter that came back with an 87kg (that's 191 lbs) Yellowfin tuna. Not a world record by any means, but it can certainly put the hurt on you.

Tha't the interesting thing off Northern Peru. One day the cold Humbolt Current pushes North and the next day the warm Ecuatorial Current pushes South. Makes for some tough fishing but rewarding when the currents are favorable. You just have to be there when they are on the chew.

It's Friday and I'm back in California, gotta go back to work. I fished last Sunday for one final trip. The weather was great again, hardly any breeze, no swell, we trolled in front of Mancora 10-12 miles and towards Punta Sal. The current was pushing hard to the S/W. Water was green. Never had any great bite, just picked up one here one there all on jigs. Not a bad day at all, we ended up with 27 YFT, 15-35 lbs. Lot's of manta rays around, saw 3 sailfish, no dorados.
But it's over I'm back in California for awhile.

Fished yesterday, jigged up some nice caballito for bait in front of Vichayito, trolled out in front of Mancora and up to Punta Sal, 8-10 miles off the beach. Had 3 YFT on a jig stike, all about 20-25 lbs,. Trolled for half an hour for nothing and had a strike that almost spooled me, 45 minutes later had a 55 lbs YFT, soaked some baits and landed a 35 lb YFT. Great weather this week, a bit of breeze on the outside and to the South, but some of the best weather I've seen here.

I'm back in Mancora for a few days. As luck would have it yellowfin made a showing last Friday off el Ņuro (Cabo Blanco). So I went out yesterday and picked up 8 yellowfin (15-18 lbs) and one wahoo (50 lbs). Went out again this morning early and just got in at 10 am, had some motor problems, but we did manage to pick up 3 yellowfin 12 to 15 lbs. Just schoolies but we'll keep lookin for the bigger ones. Only an hour out from Mancora, that's about 5 miles out on these boats, as close as I ever caught tuna around here.

Well all I can tell you is I have a hard time loading pics on here, but I'm no computer wiz. I do know that you need to reduce them quite a bit to work on here. Maybe when Larry get's the new website up it will be more friendly for low tech guys like me.

Fished the Amazon tributaries 20 years ago but didn't enjoy it, too many mosquitos and other insects.....and I never caught a peacock or any other good fish.

Didn't meet Alex, but met Cristina herself when we arrived in the a.m. at the boat.

I'm sure I'll be back in Mancora one day and we can hook up. On my next trip to Peru, I might like trying for some peacocks in the Amazon. Have you ever done that?

I'll post a few more pics right here, but can you help me out with the proper image code. Man, I'm pretty good with that kind of thing, but can't get it right here.

Sereno's phone # (073)85-84-33 in Mancora, If you don't get him there, just walk down on the pier in Mancora and ask for him, he's usually there mid morning if he's not out. Don't forget getting skunked happens everywhere. Good luck

Mitch,
Bring your own gear (rods, reels, tackle etc..) Feb. is summer down there and you'll be around 3-4 degrees South Lat. So the sun is brutal when offshore, bring long sleeves, long pants, a hat and shades, and of course sun block.

The inshore fishing is pretty slow, and the the guys that will rent you skiffs will want to take you to small local rocks. It's ok if you like boat rides, and you might catch a small grouper, trigger fish, or jacks.

If you have time go offshore, the seas should be calm that time of year. You can find plenty of Dorado (perico), Yellowfin tuna, Skipjack, and you might hook up a marlin.....

Just remember the boats are small and slow. Go to the wharf in Mancora and look for Sereno, he's usually there working, I fish with him or his father-in-law Trino.

Anymore question come up be glad to help. And if you do go fishin post your results here.

Jocelyn,

I'm heading from the US to a beach hotel in Mancora in February. Do you have any leads or tips on catching anything offshore or even inshore?

My wife is originally from Lima, and I did some handline fishing down there on my last trip in Feb. 04. But I'm looking for some bigger fish this time. :-)

Thanks for any advice.

Fished Monday and Tuesday. Trolled some feathers out front of Mancora, about 8 miles. Picked up 2 dorado and a handful of YFT, footballs. It was enough for lunch for a few days. The water was green, wind was light, but I did come back before afternoon on both days. Didnīt spot any marlin or swords. Heading back to California tonight.

Sunday 12 Nov

Just got back from Cabo Blanco. Light breeze this morning mild temps. Should blow this PM 18-20 knots. The good report is saw the commercials bring in 2 striped marlin and 1 Black (est. 500 lbs) at el Ñuro. Talked to Alex ( MV Cristina ), told me the marlin were cruising 3 miles off Organos las week when the Current was pushing South. Spotted lots of humbacks working 2-3 miles offshore fron El Ñuro.

Im going to try to get out in the morning and catch some lunch if the wind stays down.

Robert,
I just arrived in Mancora yesterday morning, I think I slept about 20 hours after 2 days of travel. Mornings are calm, but weī re getting 20 plus knots in the PM. Iīm going to the wharf this afternoon to see whats up.

The charter boat situation is spartan at best. The Cristina is an adecuate boat in fair weather, and Alex the owner is is a great guy. You can contact him on page at vivamancora.com , his boat is in Organos about 10 minutes South of Mancora.

You can charter the Fantasia in Punta Sal. Thats the only other true charter boat on the Peruvian coast. Punta Sal is about 20 minutes to the North of Mancora.

In Mancora you can go to the wharf and contact Sereno, a good friend of mine, and fish on his panga. But you need lots of sun block and not mind rough weather in a small slow boat, and of course you need all your own gear. Heīs a good fisherman, but like I said it is very spartan. Heīll put you on fish. I can put you in touch with him if you like. Iīm not a broker, just like to fish.

Hey which hotel does your fiend own,
you can reach me at my mail or here.

Jocelyn,
Thanks for the info. I have many questions about the area. I live and fish in Panama and have a friend who owns a hoatel in Mancora. He has offered a room to me for no money, so I want to take advantage and come down to fish for awhile. What is the charter boat situation? I know in the old days, there were many boats available, but after a search, I only found 2, Christina and one more. Please tell me what might be available. I can bring all my own gear, that's not a problem. If you would want to contact me off board, I can call you at your convenience.

Black marlin, as well as blues and striped, still prowl the waters of Cabo Blanco. I've found them on many trips offshore, my best was raising 3 in one day. The commercials bring them in regularly. Best time is Sept to Oct, if the Equatorial current is pushing South. When the Humbolt current pushes North the waters are cooler and the blacks tend to be to the North in Ecuador. During those times you can find swords and striped marlin. Dec thru April the waters are generally warmer and less WINDY, you shouldn't have a problem finding a black during those months. Hope this helps, you can always contact me here if you have any other questions. I'm flying to Peru tomorow, I'll be in Mancora on Friday, will try to post what's going on.

You can fish inshore any time of year around Mancora. You'll catch small grouper, cabrilla, triggerfish. For better bottom fishing go to Punta Sal, or Punta Mero. My favorite is out of Zorritos, if you go there look up Mocho, he'll take you out for some good size grouper/bottom fish.

Fished total of 3 days. went NW started trolling 8 miles off the beach, no signs for another 9 miles where we saw some porpoise and went for a look. We hooked up all 4 lines and managed to boat 3, all about 25#. By then the porpoise were gone and we trolled back and forth for nothing. Picked up 1 dorado (18#) on the way back.

The folowing 2 days of fishing were much the same, picked up a dozen yft from 15-30 #, a handful of skipjacks and 4 dorado. Nothing big, although the skippies were large compared to most i've seen, 10-18 #.

The commercials were bringing in lots of swordfish but most were quite small, there were about 5 striped marlin coming in daily, and I did see one 80# yft. The wind was light 10-15 when I fished but a big swell has moved in, great for the surfers.

All good things come to an end, I'll be traveling back to Lima and then to California after the 1 Jan. Happy New Year to all and good fishing.

Well I'm back in Mancora. Weather is hot but very comfortable. Nights are cool with no humidity. The winds offshore are blowing at 15-20 knots coming onto the beach by noon. And a pretty good swell has come up today, with forcasts of more in the next couple of days. The good thing is there is some good fishing for yellowfin (mostly school fish to 30 lbs), with a few striped marlin spotted and some brought in at the commercial pier. I'll try to get out the next couple of days, will report.

For the rest of you that don't read Spanish, I'll be back in Mancora on the 19th December. Will try to post the fishing conditions.

Alex,
Pues que pena, yo estare en Mancora del 19 hasta 29. Viajo a EEUU el 4. Muchas gracias por la oferta de la Cristina. Voy a ver si podemos hacer algo. Gusto saludarte.....por internet

Mmusso,
en Zorritos hay un pescador, lo llaman Mocho (le falta un dedo), buen pescador de mero, cabrilla, fortuno, osea de pescado fino. Yo pesque con el y creo que pague s/200 todo el dia como 9-10 horas. Puedes encontrar al Mocho alli en la playa de Zorritos, no hay muelle. Dile que el gringo Jocelyn te mando. Saludos

Musso, acabo de abrir la hoja y veo que Jocelyn, ya contesto todas tus preguntas. Hay 2 pescadores (Checa y Pata de Palo) que se dedican a la pesca del robalo, pero es en Punta Mero que queda al norte de Mancora, voy a pedirles sus telfs y preguntarles como esta la pesca.

Jocelyn, yo estoy viajando a Lima el 15 de este mes y regreso el 5 de enero. Si quieres usar la Cristina, puedes llamarme al 01-368-2419 o coordina con Fernando Catalogne en Los Organos (telf 073-257512).

Buena Pesca,
Alex

MMUSSO
En el muelle de Mancora puedes encontrar a un chalanero que se llama Sereno, el te puede llevar a la pesca cerca la costa, normalmente cobra s/50 por hora, o puedes arreglar otra cosa con el. Si no esta, puedes hablar con Trino Yenque, el tiene una lancha cortina y sali con el varias veces a pescar tuno, barrilete, perico y merlin, cobra tambien s/50/hora. Tambien puedes hablar con Alex in Organos. qualquier pregunta la puedes hacer aqui, yo miro casi todos los dias. Estare en Mancora apartir del 19 Dic. Si estas y quieres salir hablamos.

Iīm going to be in mancora this week, any good beaches for surf-fishing? Id also like to charter a panga or any type of small boat to do some inshore fishing. Any suggestions?

Jocelyn,
Thanks for the thought. Have been over in Venezuela for a half month and just got back. I have reviewed the Website. Sure looks like a nice place to visit. I plan to fish 6 days in '06 for Black Marlin minimum; will make up my mind come January where I'm going and what month. Carefully studied several countries but had to exclude most, though land trips would be nice. I think I'll go to.............! Regards, Warren Brantley

Alex,

Saw your new web page on www.vivamancora.com. Nice design. You should post some of those pictures here so the fishing world can see what is coming out of Cabo Blanco.

I don't know if you checked it out yet but you can see pics of the Cristina and some of the fish caught at www.vivamancora.com/cristina under the surf and kite surf link. It's a new web page and Alex hasn't posted any reports yet. Something to look at from time to time in your search for that Black.

I plan to consider fishing the Punta Sal/Cabo Blanco area of Peru focusing on black marlin in February for 6-8 days. Please post information about fishing this area as I have no catch reports. Is it a good area to fish for black marlin in February or should I go elsewhere? I will be using a local boat such as Cristina or Fantasia. I may be e-mailed at Wbran63804@aol.com. I want black marlin and maybe a sailfish. Regards, Capt. Warren Brantley
