Mar del Plata is Argentina's fishing capital, and the port behind the famous orange-hulled fleet of the banquina de pescadores also hosts the country's biggest party-boat and charter scene. Spring and fall bring hard runs of bluefish — the local 'anchoa de banco' — while summer offers jigging and live-baiting for yellowtail amberjack, the prized 'pez limón,' over offshore reefs and wrecks.
