Baja’s Big Game Guide Service

East Cape Guides provides exclusive guide services for guests of Van Wormer Resorts targeting blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, dorado, wahoo and roosterfish.

Their expert team of guides has decades of knowledge fishing Mexican waters. This knowledge translates into selecting the right tackle and techniques to give you the best opportunity to land that fish of a lifetime. Guide services include on-the-water instruction, documentation of your catch in high-definition video and photos and Billfish Foundation release certificates.

Mark Daugherty, owner and guide, has fished the world from Hawaii to Costa Rica to Portugal. Mark started East Cape Guides in 2000 to educate anglers on Baja style fishing and promote fishery conservation. Mark has appeared on Angler Chronicles on FOX Sports West, Angler West TV on Comcast SportsNet and Let's Talk Hookup Radio Show. He also leads seminars on the West Coast and is an active member of the Billfish Foundation.

Each guide has an extensive knowledge of the history, marine life and ecology of the Sea of Cortez, enriching your understanding of why Baja's East Cape is such a unique fishery and marine ecosystem.
