Got this one in February from a guide out of San Pancho (just north of PV)Earlier is better. Roosters are mostly done by end of January. Tuna are a water temp game of course.
Panga captains will go offshore if you want, just check on their equipment and capabilities. All the billfish and tuna I've caught have been with from a 26 ft panga.
Yes!! I got a guy! My buddy has fished with him for 10 years (we were casually talking about my trip to Huatulco)and put me onto him. Frickin nailed it, loaded us with sailfish and mahi. So I sent my neighbour....loaded him with marlin and mahi. Heres a pic, love Huatulco. Sent you a pm with a contact if you're interested.Has anyone on had any experience with fishing out of the Huatulco? I'd appreciate any tips/info on quality successful guides/boats/vessels and accommodation. We have done Cabo so looking for a an experience that has just as good fishing and weather but in a different area of Mexico. Huatulco has been chosen by others in our group for various reasons but I'm tasked to find out about the fishing and some accommodation choices close to the fishing. I suspect staying somewhere on or near the marina and we'd be wanting to hire guide/boats for both some inshore casting/jigging (pangas) and hopefully some Dorado, Jack Crevalle, Roosters, Yellow tail and Stripped Marlin as well as do some offshore in a larger vessel ....hopefully some yellowfin there. I understand plenty of dorado there but not sure about all the others I mention. Time of year has not been chosen yet but likely Late January to April for 10-12 days. Thanks for any info you have !

Just got back from Cabo a few weeks ago and fished again with El Budster as they have been good to us over the years. We usually fish early in our trip so we have fish in the fridge and freezer for our entire stay. We told them we wanted to target tuna and dorado and didn't want marlin. We got dorado and a couple of yellow fin when my wife hooked in to a marlin. The deck hand pulled it in to the boat and my wife said it was just hooked in the side of the mouth so let it go. The deck hand said it was too badly hooked and we said no it wasn't. I went to the captain as he has control of the boat and asked if the fish had a good chance of survival. He said, yes it could be. My wife and I picked it up and put it over the edge. It paused and then splashed and swam away. We did what we thought was right? I hate it when others try to screw people around for their own benefit!

PM sent, yes the gear is heavy but that's because you don't know whats gonna hit it. Box of chocolates......Please send me that contact info as well.
We fished Huatulco last year and landed 5 dorado and lost a few more out of a panga. It was a ton of fun. I found that the gear was super heavy and took some of the enjoyment out of it.
I’m planning on taking some fly gear with me and exploring Playa LaBocana for some beach snook.

Did you go with Juan?
Thanks everyone for all the info about Huatulco, on here and the DM's. Dogbreath, I would like to hear that story about the issue with going on the beaches at night so will message you at some point. A decision has been made to go to Puerto Escondido instead of Huatulco due to some confusion on locations by one of the guys and that one of the guys will already be in Puerto Escondido and has a rental place there. So after all that we will be looking for guide and boat/boats to get out fishing in the Puerto Escondido area. Either Feb/March 2024 or wait til next winter. Any recommendations on a boat/guide would be appreciated - Thank you. Anyone have any experience with https://www.puertofishing.com/Has anyone on had any experience with fishing out of the Huatulco?
