Todos Santos Fishing Charters
Sport fishing & Sightseeing Charters Todos Santos Fishing Charters are pleased to offer the most unique fishing and sightseeing charters in the Baja aboard ‘Iggy’ our traditional Mexican Panga. At Todos Santos Fishing Charters your day normally starts around 7 am. This is due to the traditional way of launching from the beach whether you are fishing, sightseeing, whale or dolphin watching. Prevalent weather and sea conditions play an important part of beach launching and landing, so please be prepared to provide us with alternate dates when making your booking. The skipper will not launch in adverse weather conditions where craft or life may be put at risk. The daily charter rate includes a professional, experienced English speaking crew who will provide instruction and assistance whilst on board, provision of all fishing equipment – we use ‘Makaira Pulling Lures’ – which are tested and proven in both the Gulf and the Caribbean and a large variety of quality lures, . Transfers to and from the boat, refreshments and a packed brunch are also included. The beautiful unspoilt coastline of the Baja California Sur offers numerous opportunities for inspiring walks, Whale watching and depending on when you visit you may also witness the migration of Leatherback turtles and Olive Ridley turtles. The climate is absolutely delightful with year-round temperatures in the 70′s and 80′s. The rainy season, which can be hot and humid, begins in August and continues through the end of September. Winters are very mild but you may require light warm clothing in the evening. Capt. Lee knows these waters intimately and will show you the Baja like no other captian or guide. You will be in a postion to catch the seasonal fish that habitat our beautiful coastline. Whether you’re looking for bigger game fish like Marlin or Tuna or maybe the famous Mahi-Mahi aka Dorado or maybe the incredible Rooster fish there are abundant opportunities to see the incredible marine life we have along the coast here in Baja. Whale watching is always a special treat as these giants swim up and down our coast during their winter migration from Alaska. You can get up and personal with these giants, it will take your breath away. Our Panga is also available for diving, underwater and sea landscape photography. Please don’t forget your cameras either. Please note : Sports fishing is extremely popular and our charters are in great demand, to ensure that you don’t miss out on the experience of a lifetime make sure you book your excursion with as much advance notice as possible. Baja Fishing Seasons Fishing in the fertile waters off the Baja Peninsula is truly spectacular. Here the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez and the massive depth of water just off shore and myriad underwater canyons and seamounts ensure a hugely diverse marine habitat. This abundance of nutrients attracts enormous shoals of Sardines, Herring and other small bait fish , following in hot pursuit are the Sierra , Bonito and Skipjacks and hunting them is every fisherman’s dream quarry; the Tuna, Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado (Mahi-Mahi) and Wahoo. The Marlin population is abundant all year round and have earned Cabo the title of Marlin Capital of the World. September through to February are favourite months for these fish. Dorado, Tuna and Wahoo are also available at that time. In the summer months when the water warms the Dorado and Tuna action increases and peaks in the months of August until December. Every year catches of Yellow Fin Tuna over 200 lbs and Dorado up to 80 lbs. rip lines out. Big Blue, Striped and Black Marlin migrate in at this time to feed on the smaller Dorado and Tuna and landing one of these fish in the 400-600 lb class is not unusual. Baja Sur is famous for its autumn Marlin tournaments where total prize money can be over one million dollars! Clients are strongly encouraged to release their Billfish. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter in order to preserve the species and quality of the sports fishing in Baja Sur. Fishing Licences Mexican law dictates that everyone aboard any vessel that intends to fish must have a valid fishing licence, these can be easily and inexpensively purchased through your travel agent, the recommended option. However, licences can be purchased in La Paz for your trip, but require proof of identification and sufficient advance notice. Fishing licences are not required for sightseeing or snorkelling.   Other Leisure Activities Todos Santos and Baja Sur abound with natural beauty and provide some excellent hiking, fishing and coastal exploration opportunities.  Lee and Brenda, your hosts, would be happy to…
Nothing like the uneventful all-inclusive…

We visited Brenda& Lee’s Iguana de los Mangos in October 2011 and a year and a half later are still taking about it! - one of the most unique and exciting vacations, including my initiation into big game fishing with eating a raw dorado liver as \"part of the tradition\" (?!) ;)
Also, favorable rates, great activities, always count on the best weather.

It will take you about an hour or so to get there from Los Cabos airport. Most of the road is good, though some construction sections are to be endured, as well as bad signalisation. But once you’re at your B&B your hosts will take really good care of you. The accommodations are exceptional - beautiful and elegant hacienda type décor, the visitors’ quarters are on a separate floor, with huge outdoor patio including open kitchen and a BBQ set overlooking the tennis court… Then private fly-steps leading to the roof top lookout where you can see the ocean and all vicinity - this is where you enjoy sipping your Mojito on the hammock and admiring the romantic sunset and relaxing after a day full of emotions. The innkeepers’ hospitality is outstanding, including daily freshly-baked muffins, cakes or sweet breads served with locally grown fruits and organic juice, for breakfast or as afternoon snacks. Generously shared information about sports, shopping, clubbing, dining… My advice though, for the better ever value, do not hesitate for the little extras your hosts are offering for a much lesser price than comparable from around: try the surf fishing on the beach, and I would say the big-game deep sea fishing “the Mexican way” from the nearby fisherman’s beach is a must – it gives you the chance to create real great fisherman stories to brag about for a long time! There is no pier so the boats are hand-launched over the surf and in between hundreds of pelicans, and this is almost a bungee jumping-like feeling in your stomach, loads of fun! Be prepared for catching several big-game dorados and then get back on the beach by managing the boat to get riding a huge surfing wave…, trust me the experience is unique and memorable~
And don’t forget to opt for the mountain hiking trip where you can buy some unique artisanal pottery.
I will definitely recommend to all my friends and anyone tired of the all-inclusive uneventful resort experiences.

We have been fishing with Lee and Jose 7 times or so and have caught fish every time. Everything from a 200lb Blue Marlin to a cooler full of Yellow Tails and Bonito. In fact, that's my brother with a nice Yellow Tail in the picture above.
Lee and Jose are very safe and know how to guide a boat. I agree with the review above, Lee has a terrific life experience and the South African accent makes for a nice change. Most of all, he has a great instinct of when to pick up the chatter or let you enjoy the surroundings.
The launch and landing from Point Lobo is a real treat and unlike any boat launch or landing I have been on. However, the sushi back at the house is what I look forward to at the end of the trip. I will continue to fish with Lee every trip to Todos Santos.

We Have "gone out" with Lee on three different occasions, he always guides us to where the fish are, we have always returned with a cooler full. Lee seems to have a sense of where to look, constantly scanning the horizon for the school we want. We have caught Ciera, Yellow Fin, Bonito, Dorado and Rooster Fish, as well as seeing huge schools of Dolphin and dozens of Gray Whales.

Besides the results, what I like about fishing with Lee is the history, geography and fish lore that he gives you. It's more than fishing it's the big picture. It's...Magic...with an English accent. Thanks Lee. See you next time.
