Clarissa Lucero5.0VerifiedBest trip ever
Half Day Trip - Local Fishing (AM) on July 31, 2026Ā ā¢Ā 5 adultsĀ ā¢Ā 1 childTook my family of 5 on this fishing trip, it was the first for all of us and we had the best time ever. We all caught fish, enjoyed the waves and drinks. The captain was awesome, he moved the boat when the fish weren't biting much and when it was all over he filled the fish we caught. We will definitely be booking again!

Half Day Trip - Local Fishing (AM) on April 3, 2026Ā ā¢Ā 4 adultsWe did a 4 hour trip in the morning and had a great time! Our capitan/ fishing guide was great on getting us hooked on quick and relocating when the bite died. Ended up getting plenty of fish to take home. We even got bullied by a sea lion for a while! Super cool! Great for smaller group.

Christophe Valton5.0VerifiedA great time on the water.
Half Day Trip - Local Fishing (AM) on June 18, 2022Ā ā¢Ā 2 adultsWent for 1/2 day bottom fishing with El Gato Especial fishing. Everything went very well. We were greeted at the fishing charter area right on time and then introduced to our Captain who had the boat ready to go, equipped with baits, rods, water, sodas, and beers! Once on the water, we were able to catch a fair amount of fish ranging from triggerfish, black sea bass, and sea trout. Captain Jose knows the area very well as we went to about four different areas to keep catching fish! Once back in port, he filleted oud all our fishes. He was very pleasant and we joked about the size of some of our catches. I would recommend El Gato Especial Fishing and will not hesitate to book again next time we are in Puerto Penasco.

Half Day Trip - Local Fishing (AM) on October 4, 2024Ā ā¢Ā 3 adultsGreat trip, exactly what we expected for a half day trip. Changed Locations several times to find the fish and finally found them. Captain was great and made sure our hooks were baited at all times.

3/4 Day Trip - Local Fishing (AM) on May 31, 2023Ā ā¢Ā 4 adultsĀ ā¢Ā 1 childOur Captain, JosĆ©, was so great with our family. He was extremely patient and helped us catch more fish than we ever expected. The wind and waves were challenging but he navigated us to an excellent area for catching fish. Will definitely recommend to friends and family and will re- book with JosĆ© Salazar on our next trip.
Mark TaylorRepeat angler4.0VerifiedFishing aboard El Gato Especial
3/4 Day Trip - Local Fishing (AM) on May 12, 2023Ā ā¢Ā 2 adultsCaptain Jose Salazar was a friendly and capable skipper. He was very attentive to our needs and took good care of my 83 yo father. We caught some nice fish and many small ones which is par for the course when bottom fishing here. The boat is comfortable with space for up to 4 anglers. It is a little old and can use some work, but certainly serviceable. The fishing gear is also a little worn and could use updating, but serviceable for the bottom fishing we were doing. The knowledge and friendly nature of Capitan Jose definitely outweigh any of the minor gear issues. You will have fun and catch fish aboard El Gato.
