The Four Amigos
SeaScape Charters
By: Bob Moore
La Paz, Mexico - The first real fishing successful charter we had, was with four guys from San Diego in the middle of November. Before that, two of them came down in August, and took out SeaScape my Morgan 41’ sailboat with Rafael(my righthand man) as a skipper. I find it hard to believe, but one of the fish they caught was a MARLIN !! Off of a sailboat with no bait tank and slow! Sooo, they came back in the middle of November, with two of their fishing buddys who are also serious fishermen and went south to Cerralvo with my regular skipper, Raul and caught about 100 fish. They brought their own rods, and took all of mine off! They plan on coming back twice a year at least, the last week of August and the last week of October.
They highly recommend Raul as the skipper. He also has four Pangas for fishing with 90hpr Hondas. They qualify to skipper SeaFortuna on their own, but they told me, that will always use Raul, because of his knowledge of where the fish are, skill in running SeaFortuna and being able to devote all of their energy to fishing.. They also enjoyed having Raul around as he is such a great person (I have known Raul at least 10 years) and enjoy his company.
I refer to them as “The Four Amigos” as I took them to my favorite restaurant here in La Paz for breakfast. Antonio , the waiter is also an artist, and did the drawings, as they had breakfast . You will see the drawings of them in one of the slides.
Some of the reasons for chartering SeaFortuna they cited were very interesting, besides the obvious. They could go farther out than a panga, start ealier and stay for a longer time .They gave me examples of the panga fishermen, having you catch a couple of fish and wanting to go back right away, and also, how it worked out to be less costly for them figuring hotel rooms etc.
They have allowed me permission to put their names and phone numbers and email addresses for you to independently call or email them if you would like:
