COFCO runs sportfishing expeditions out of Bahía Solano, in the department of Chocó, on Colombia's Pacific coast. Julián Quintana, a captain with 13+ years on these waters, runs COFCO and designs every expedition in advance. The operation is registered with Colombia's National Tourism Registry under number 245339.
We work with small groups and say honestly what each season can deliver. The Colombian Pacific fishing calendar breaks into five seasons and none of them is good for everything: we never promise what the ocean cannot give.
Calendar
When is the right time to come fishing?
The year in Bahía Solano breaks into five seasons, each with different species and conditions. This is the short version.
October to January
offshore season with the widest variety
blue marlin, black marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna · trolling and spinning
February to March
cold water, big fish
cubera snapper, other snappers, large tuna · vertical jigging
April to June
sardine migration and high fishing volume
sailfish, yellowfin tuna, some tarpon · spinning and trolling
June to July
inshore fishing with lures
roosterfish, tarpon · spinning
July to October
humpback whale season, more than fishing
mahi-mahi, tuna · these may show, but it is not peak fishing
Why COFCO
We are not an agency. We are anglers.
COFCO is a direct sportfishing operation in Bahía Solano: we do not resell third-party slots or subcontract the guiding.
Decisions made on the water
We do not follow rigid itineraries. Every decision comes from reading the ocean conditions and the behaviour of the fish that day: when to move, when to wait and where to look.
No fuel limits
When a trophy fish means running far, we run far. We do not cut a trip short to save fuel.
Maximum 2 groups at a time
A limited, controlled operation with small groups on board. This is not mass tourism and we do not want it to be.
Ethical fishing
We practise catch and release with responsible handling. The experience is not measured in dead trophies.
