Mazatlan Spearfishing - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

JrBasser · 07-24-2009, 01:25 PM

I have the opportunity to spearfish the shore area of mazatlan during thanksgiving and I have no idea what to expect fish wise, but what do I need to prepare for? Anybody here have any experience?

Yea I've done some lurking there but just thought I'd see what my home board could produce. Thanks for turning me to another site

I was in Mazatlan last year, not much marine life left, but lots of graffiti, and rich narcos staying at the hotels, but warm water and some good surf spots up the coast.

I was there in late April early May and saw a large Roosterfish jump out after some bait in 3ft. of water. Was staying at Pueblo Bonito Mazatlan.
The island accross from PB has all kinds of fish feeding around it in the late afternoon early evening before sunset. You'll see the birds circling.

I stayed there for 2 weeks last summer! It is an amazing resort. I couldn't stand how the beach sand was so... rocky. That's awesome though that you saw the rooster.
