Mazatlan is a world famous sportfishing destination due to the wide variety of fish that inhabit its waters offshore, such as snapper, bass and sierra. If you head farther out, you can catch blue, black and striped marlin, as well as sailfish. These days, sailfish are particularly hard to find; the season begins in March.
