The Totoaba Fishing Photos

Join Captain Lalo and his first mate, Pete, for an amazing fishing charter in Banderas Bay aboard the thirty-four-foot Express Searay, the Totoaba. Captain Lalo has been fishing the bountiful waters of Banderas Bay all of his life. He has garnered numerous awards in local big-money fishing tourneys. Puerto Vallarta has become a destination for world-class bill-fishing competitions and Lalo and the Totoaba are always in the mix. His impressive achievements against global competition translate to success on his private Off-shore charters. Pete will also provide clients with an endless supply of valuable tips on how to approach fishing in Bahia de Banderas.

And Bahia de Banderas (Banderas Bay) is quite an impressive body of water – it stretches forty miles across and reaches astounding depths at the mouth near the Pacific Ocean. Big game fish follow feeder species along the deep cool currents of the Pacific into the warmer protected confines of Banderas Bay. Depending on the season, Billfish are the most highly desired quarry. Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Sailfish and Striped Marlin can be hooked off Puerto Vallarta in the Bay. Other sought-after species include the brilliantly-hued Dorado, the tenacious Wahoo, and the powerful Yellowfin Tuna.

This trim craft is fully outfitted for a successful fishing charter on Banderas Bay. The Totoaba features a partially-open cabin, state-room with bunks, lavatory, and tuna tower. The spacious fishing deck features dual fighting chairs, a live bait tank, tuna tubes, a full array of electronics (stereo, VHF radio, global positioning system, depth-finder and fish-finder), tournament-quality fishing equipment (tackle, custom graphite Penn International rods, Shimano reels, outriggers, downrigger, and a kite.

You can’t miss this sleek fire-engine-red Express Searay as it cuts through the cerulean waters of Banderas Bay. This small, yet powerful craft will carry you and three other anglers quickly to the best angling spots near Puerto Vallarta. This quick and maneuverable vessel is ideal for switching between the deepwater excitement of Off Shore fishing and the constant saltwater action of Light Tackle reef fishing.
