Tony returned from a very successful trip led by the "Let's Talk Hook Up " Brandon Hayward, creator of "The Bight Journal". They enjoyed good weather along with plenty of fish, several large Groupers and a good size Black Sea Bass. They landed 298 Yellowtails up to 26 Lbs. Cabrillas up to 28 Lbs. The catch also included Pargo's, Spotted Bass, Red Snappers, and Giant Squid. They fished Refugio, Snake Island, Salsipuedes, Barnabe Reef, Punta final and Enchanted Island. Tony says anglers need to be prepared for casting jigs, trolling, Jigging, some heavy-duty Grouper bait fishing and Squid jigging. Variety is the name of the game with The Tony Reyes boat being the only sport boat fishing from San Felipe now for the last 7 years. Previously, there were 5 boats going out weekly. The quantity and quality of the catch improve from year to year now reminding me of when I started fishing from San Felipe 45 years ago.
Tony is having many anglers cancel this year because of the Cartel violence in Mexico. Tony says "San Felipe is a quiet ,small fishing town ,120 miles from the border, with few problems. He says the violence is centered in Mexico mainland and in border towns for the most part. He understands people's concern and he wants to assure everyone that these trips are safe and secure.

The kickoff trip for the 2026 Tony Reyes 6 day trip into the Sea of Cortez just returned. The fish report:

Hi Anglers
We had our first trip from this season We started fishing in the southern areas of San Francisquito Bay, finding good-sized yellowtail and cabrilla. The weather was pleasant with calm seas, and some giant squid were caught here. Afterwards we sailed north, reaching Snake Island to fish. In this area, large schools of fish fed on the surface. More jacks and mackerel were caught here, many small species were released here such as pretty little yellowtail and small grouper. We found fish in practically every area we visited. On the last day, we fished in the Enchanted Islands, with a moderate west wind blowing. big barred pargo were biting here, best lures were Nomad 165 lures and Yo-Zuri lures. All the fish were caught by casting small jigs, and sometimes larger fish were caught trolling with Mirro lures and NOMADS 165. There was also a little fishing on the bottom.

286 YELLOWTAIL UP TO 30-LBS
389 CABRILLA FROM 6-20 LBS.
016 SHEEP HEAD UP TO 12-LBS

Hi Great Anglers. Tony just submitted this report for last weeks trip. This was a charter led by Jack Lytle from Peoria, Arizona. This group has been going with Tony and his Dad for many many years and trips. They fished San Francisquito area catching lots of Bass along with some 20 Lb. Class Yellowtails. Live bait was easy to load up the bait tanks with.
They moved to Snake Island where they caught some nice big Cabrillas, Sheepheads, Bass and Yellowtails. Next day they went to Refrugio where they caught more Cabrillas and Bass. Some wind came up so they moved to Enchanted Islands catching some Cabrillas.
Tony is now booking for the 2026 season. You can check out the schedule at www.tonyreyes.com
