We did a 6 hour family fishing trip today and had a great time. We have been deep sea fishing several times before and understand that you don’t always catch huge fish. We caught a couple of mackerel but weren’t having much luck trolling so the captain stopped a couple times for us to bottom fish and everyone was able to catch some fish. The crew worked extra hard to get us fish, they were friendly, and made us a nice lunch and ceviche. The boat is not fancy but it was a great price compared to other boats similar in size. We were a group of twelve and had plenty of room to spread out on the back of the boat, inside the large cabin, up front, and up top. We had a great time! I highly recommend!

1st time deep sea fishing, The captain got to where some action was and we caught a few and missed a couple. First Nate Victor and his crew worked there rearends off also to make this a fun experience. Thank you For a great day!  We hope one day to return!

So I’m the one who has a fishing addition. I make the reservations, I pay for everything, and we head out fishing. Its 2 and a half hours before a single strike. The mate hooks up, loses it…this goes on for another hour of trolling…nothing. Hey I get it. Only maybe my 7th or 8th time deep sea fishing…now I’ve been fishing for over 50 years and I know a knicked line when I see one but when we lose two more fish trolling because the line snaps…this tells me the line they are using is shit. Finally I actually had to demand they stop trolling and just allow us to drop a line and see what we can catch. So there we are,, my husband and son both have poles and I am actually watching the mate fishing along the two of them. I ask so where is my pole? He says, “oh you want to fish? Oh don’t get me started on how passed off I was. I reel in, drop the line myself, I hook up right away, I set the hook, I reel the large trigger fish in and land it on the boat while they cannot believe that the only woman on board catches the only fish in 4 hours. Not renting from them again. And I even gave them a tip! My husband, who is used to watching men treat me like this, tried to warn them…hell hath no fury like a woman scorn. I wasn’t going to say anything bad but they pestered me for a review. Not a quality operation.

This is the second time we have used Mr. Wrinkles. However this time the boat is in need of some serious repair. Yes, there is a bathroom, but the toilet does not have a seat, just the bowl. Not good for women. The railings and cushions on the boat are shot. The railings for stairway are lose. With six people, there is no room to move around. Yes the there is a cabin with no air circulation, so if you wish to throw up, by all means sit inside.

Yes, we booked an 8 hour trip. The sea was quite rough. The captain of the day was Jose’. He has a terrible habit of helping the first and second mate, leaving the wheel (steering) unattended. In rough seas not a good thing to do. One person in our group stood up prior to Jose’ leaving the steering unattended and the boat pitched left in rough seas. The “Pax was tossed striking the upstairs railing causing injury to their left elbow.

Were there fish caught, yes more than 20 fish. Twenty were Dorado, and several of those were quite large.

Now the bait and switch. We were offered r/t transportation from our hotel for 50 dollars (advertised price). Our hotel was roughly 7 to 10 mintes away.  We were told to give the Captain all money. We were later contacted and told the taxi would be 60 dollars r/t which we paid.

Because so many fish had been caught, injury to one person, and seas were rough, we opted to go in early by 2 hours. We were told that we could take some Dorado down to a local restaurant where we could have it cooked. Three of the six of our group opted to do that. The injured person and two others wanted to return to our hotel. We were told we could catch a taxi at our own expense. What, are you kidding me! We were told that since we came in early the taxi was not available to pick us up. So we had to pay for a taxi to take us to our hotel.

So paid for r/t transportation, had the price raised by 10 dollars. Then told sorry you came in early so nope no ride back to the hotel.

The captain sold all of the Dorado to the market, which is good for him, but no ride to the hotel that we purchased.

How about, hold on to the wheel so folks aren’t injured. Fix and clean boat so it is as advertised. The first time we went out was with Captain Hernan, great trip. That was in Nov of 2020. The boat safety, has gone down considerably.

The captain and crew were very knowledgeable.. fishing out of Puerto adventures should be your only choice with along with the Mr. Wrinkles crew..this wasn’t our first time fishing here and won’t be the last..
