Blake's Bone Fish Friday

Here's a Bone Fish. They are very common on the Atlantic waters. For fly fishermen they like to catch this on the flats (shallow waters). We don't see many in the Pacific, but they are here. Bone fish, although small in size are very strong! This one was a catch and release as they are not very tasty on the dinner plate.

The client, Blake, booked 2 back to back fishing days with Popperman in La Tortuga 1. Gracias!

 This is a red fish  Its a delight to bring in with its bright color and big googly eyes!

Fly fishing

The art of Fly fishing is enjoying the moment and creating the perfect opportunity for a fish to strike. Two clients were here from Chicago and enjoyed a morning right here in Sayulita on the surf fly fishing.
They had been fly fishing for just over a year and  Popperman helped them practice and improve their technique. It´s not catching. It´s fishing. A true fly fisherman isn't concerned about what they catch but rather the experience and process of fishing.
Popperman ties flies special for his location.

SKSF Update

We have been busy and this is a very good thing. We have had 5 trips so far in March...and it ´s only the 8th! The blog pics are just a sample of our many happy clients! Fish are a bitin´in Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico. Jorge Popperman knows what is biting where and what lures and bait to use.

Our dreams are coming true with a new boat, La Tortuga 2, scheduled to be on the water in the near future. We have some very generous people in our life who believe in us. Popperman´s dream is simple.  It isnt to own a bunch of boats. He wants to have the best custom designed boat here in Sayulita so he can personally take you fishing for the best day of your life.

He is a fishing dude.

Sayulita Beach is forever changing, growing adapting. It started as a fishing spot and has sweet waves that tantalize surfers both local and from abroad. Today there was a Captains meeting to discuss the future of the beach where the fishing boats are located.
Will more surf and beach chair rentals be set up?  Will the boats have to move over? Will there be a marina or dock created? What factors both environmental and economical need to be considered?
We will keep you posted on plans of action from the meeting.

Calle Pescadores, the road directly behind the fishing boats is now paved. It is a malacon boardwalk path with no vehicle traffic. It leads towards the famous boutique hotel Villa Amor and
 Playa Los Muertos. Calle Pescadores was just lined with sparkly new benches for public use. Great spot to take in the breath taking view of the Pacific Ocean & maybe sight a whale or dolphin jumping
Sayulita is a top notch tourist destination that is both charming and beautiful.

Catch after Catch: Fishing with Sayulita Kayak and Surf Fishing Tours

May 10, 2018 Sayulero 0Comment

The sun was just starting to cast shades of orange and pink in the sky at 7:30 a.m. last Tuesday, and the beach was void of people, a rare sight in Sayulita. An epitome of tranquility, waves softly lapped the panga, as Jorge, owner of Sayulita Kayak and Surf Fishing Tours, navigated the small boat out to sea for a day of fishing!

Jorge started fishing when he was a little boy, and has been taking Sayulita tourists and locals on fishing tours since 2010. That knowledge and passion for fishing is apparent from the get-go. Jorge, with a smile on his face, and in nearly perfect English, started with the basics. Since Zoey and I have little fishing experience, he taught us how to cast, and super important, how to reel in a fish!

We went trolling, which is when baited fishing lines (we initially used lures) are dragged through the water. Almost as soon as we started trolling, both Zoey and I felt tugs on our lines. (I think Jorge was exited as we were!) Jorge reminded us to pull the rods up a bit and let them down while reeling, and then repeat, repeat, repeat. After a bit of a fight, we both reeled in Bonitas, and Jorge took them off the lures. (I was amazed at their sharp little teeth)! The lures went back into the water, and within a minute or two, both Zoey and I had another! It was one catch after the other!

Next we trolled with live bait, and Jorge explained that when using live bait, the boat has to go slower to avoid killing it. Jorge taught us if a fish took bite, to let the fishing line go, giving the fish time to swallow the other fish before stopping the line and reeling it in. It was my first time fishing with a fish larger than a sardine, and I had visions of catching a monster of a fish. At the same time, I also wondered how I could possibly reel it in?!

As the sun rose higher in the sky, Jorge put up the umbrella, effectively blocking us from the sun. I sat watching my pole, listening to the ocean sounds, lulled by the rocking of the boat. In the not-so-far distance, we could see a sea turtle in the water.

If you’d like to experience a fishing tour with Jorge for yourself, and I highly suggest you do, contact him at Sayulita Kayak and Surf Fishing Tours. In addition to panga fishing, he also offers surf fishing and kayak fishing.
