Fishing
Nicaragua is fast becoming one of the premier “frontier fishing” spots in the world. Long advertised as a surfer’s paradise, international fishermen are now exploring the abundant fisheries of Nicaragua. Several fishing charter operators are based in Gigante. Pastora Tours (pastoratours.com) offer daily fishing trips from 4 to 10 hours for up to 6 people in well equipped pangas. Vincent Maubourguet, a French ex-pat, offers full service fishing tours from Gigante which include transportation, lodging, meals and daily panga fishing trips (nicaragua-peche-sportive.com). Some of the local fishermen also will take you fishing, but you will have to bring your own rod as they are net fishermen.
If you bring your own fishing equipment, you can also fish from the rocks at Gigante Point or directly from the beach when the fish are running. No chance of missing a beach run of fish because the locals go crazy and run up and down the beach throwing hand lines at the clearly visable school near the beach. Fishing from the rocks requires a short walk out to Gigante Point and a rod and reel.
