What would be the alternative To the $150 US deep sea fishing? Can a fisherman take me out in the bay for a couple of hours. Any one ever try this? Any other ideas? Is there any fishing in the lagoon at Barra?

Lots of people fish from the walkway between Playas Principal and La Madera, using only a line and baited hook. Last February I watched someone spend a good 20 minutes landing a nice-sized fish.

at the south end of la ropa is a rental shop called black tuna. They have a boat and will take you fishing in the bay only or along Playa Larga/Blanca. or just to Manzanillo beach if you want to snorkel. They have always been reasonable to me, and with anything always negotiate hard. I have always gotten the best price from a guy named Pechuga, there.
English panga captains, with top notch gear and lures, 150-200US(stupid good bargain). Captains that speak english about as good as my spanish with adequate gear and 3-4 old lures 75-100US. I have booked through "The General" in Ixtapa a captain called Fernando(with his bright white sneakers), 2000peso, ok gear, ok lure selection, inshore only. Great sense of humor and excellent language skills. You can go to the pier just about any morning, stand around and look confused, and someone will come and help you find a captain/boat in your price range. Less for half day etc.
Cheers!

We spend a few hours in-shore fishing en route to Ixtapa Island, where one of the restaurants cooks some of our catch, while we snorkel at Playa Coral.
US$150.00, but well worth it. Contact info upon request.

You can also post a message on this board to share a panga and the costs,which I also may be doing in 10 days time!

There is a wide range of definitions for Economy fishing! I was thinking asking some old fisherman with a leaky boat and no motor to take me out for a couple hours. All I have to do is pull in fish and bail water. What do you think?

If the sun is shining, it`s all good!
The kid running a non covered panga going to Las Gatas offered to take us bay fishing for "whatever we felt like payin". He had one rod and one lure. I declined but.......
You could ask around at the pier. You get what you pay for.........Hmmmm heard that before.
Cheers!
