The more than nine years of weekly sportfishing reports and photographs archived on this website were gathered from hundreds of resident and visiting anglers and dozens of charter fishing boat fleets around Baja California, the Sea of Cortez, and major mainland Mexico Pacific and Atlantic coast fishing vacation destinations.

They include current information on species caught, fish counts, charter boat names, beach fishing, conventional and fly fishing guides, the most effective fishing tackle, bait and lures, current sea surface water temperatures, ocean conditions and weather, peak fishing seasons, vacation travel updates, and the names of all reporters, whether they be large hotel fleets or solo Spanish speaking "pangueros" with just one skiff — information that is critical in deciding when and where to fish in Mexico.

The large Fish Photo & Identification section contains hundreds of on-the-spot pictures of game fish actually caught in Mexico, of well over 300 species, some quite rare, but also including photos of all the favorites, which have been submitted by anglers. This unique fish photo gallery also contains biological notes for each species and Spanish fish names, making it a handy guide for identifying and learning about your catch.

New information for mainland Mexico and Baja fishing is added regularly to Mexfish.com, which now contains over 4,000 pages and many thousands of photos submited in Spanish and English about saltwater deep sea fishing and inshore fishing from pangas, panga motherships, long range boats, cruisers, private boats, and from shore.

Particularly useful in answering that eternal question "Where and when should I go?" are the more than 400 editions of "Mexico Fishing News" in the "Archive" section linked above. By browsing through more than nine years of weekly Mexico and Baja fishing reports and concentrating on the month and location of your planned vacation, you can get a realistic feel for the types of sportfishing opportunities that will probably be available to you.
