the boats out of the port in POP are ok, pay by the head boats that you will likely share with some other folks looking for fotos and a sunburn. You?ll catch something, a baracuda or hopefully a nice dorado on a half day ride. Depending on your skill level and experience, it is likely that you could get on the boat and work the cockpit to your liking, if you want to take control and run things. As far as POP area outfits, I can?t say anything especially good about them as far as serious offshore fishing goes. Sorry. But for a good half day on the ocean goes, sign on as a single and take what you get. Never know when something blue and striped will show up in the spread. Another way to go about fishing for the adventurous is hop on a local yola and handline for some yellowfins. That should bust your glamour bubble!!! Check around town at the pescaderias. they?ll hook you up....
