FAQ’S | Central America Charter Fishing

On a normal fishing day here at El Rio Negro, the day starts at 5:00 AM. Breakfast, beverages and coffee are served in the Cantina at 5:15 A.M. Our boats head out between 6:00 – 6:15 A.M. First stop is to catch bait. We try to mix the day up between trolling, jigging, popping and live bait.

Of course if someone is hooked up the fight continues. Being back to the Lodge way before dark is our only priority.
