Fishing Trips in Manzanillo, Mexico

Fishing opportunities in Manzanillo

If you are planning a fishing trip this year, why not try something out of the ordinary and choose Manzanillo, Mexico as your destination? This Pacific coastal paradise features some of the best and least known of fishing spots in the world. There's a good reason why Manzanillo is considered the "sailfish capital of the world". The city hosts two fishing tournaments a year, catching record sailfish, marlin and dorado.

Fishing opportunities in Manzanillo, Mexico are offered both off the coast and along the natural volcanic shores. You don't have to be an experienced fisherman to enjoy this sport either. There are boat tours that leave the ports of Manzanillo daily with English-speaking fishing guides who can show you the best spots to catch the fish of a lifetime.

Some of the fish you are likely to encounter near Manzanillo are monster sailfish, swordfish, plus multiple varieties of marlin and sharks. But don't worry, the deep sea tour companies abound with experienced fishermen who can handle these big catches. You can either catch and release the fish or have them preserved and mounted by local taxidermy companies on shore and shipped to your home so you can have bragging rights later on.

As would be expected, the waters off the coast of Manzanillo are cooler and you will enjoy spectacular views of the entire coastal region which includes black sand beaches and mountains. After a day aboard the crystal blue waters, enjoy a follow up to your fishing trip to a local seafood restaurant for your very own taste of the sea.
