A great days fishing!! Nothing big but that’s part and parcel of fishing as we all know! But switched to deep sea fishing for the second half and had a great day pulling up fish!! Even if I was a little sea sick! Best deckhand I’ve seen on a boat too and the food provided was amazing!! If you’re going to book sea fishing then go with these guys! Best price and best chance of catching a big game!!

Had booked online months in advance. got to the marina and there was a kiosk on the dock for the experience. spoke to Deborah who was very helpful and patient, with very good english. we sorted out the rest of the payment, discussed the type of fishing we wanted to do (full day big game) and were shown to the boat. had a quick run through of safety detail and were off. Captain Jose and his deck hand set up the rods, explained what to do if a reel started screaming and pointed out where the beers... Más

This was an amazing experience! Started on the boat with a few drinks and met new friends from around the world (Canada, UK, Holland and North Korea). Captain said we are going after the big fish. After 1.5 hours, we caught not one but two 200lbs tunas. Never I was expecting this. Beginners luck maybe.The excitement of realling in was just amazing. I think the captain was as happy as we were. Got help and tips from the captain and crew. I recommend... Más

Trolling for tuna in June

VERIFICADO

June is late for Tuna. May is much better. We just trolled for 4 hours straight and we never got to bottom fish. The captain should have made sure we at least caught one fish in 4 hours. It was a complete waste of time for the customers. Really disappointing. They should give the money back to the customers.

Hi Mr Eric, thanks for your review. As you know when we have a 4 hour shared trip it’s a very short time to do half trolling and half bottom fishing. We normally can do that with more time wich is when we have a 7 hour shared or private trip. In this case you where joining a shared charter so there is other fishermen joining along with you, so we tried our best to keep everbody happy. I am sure you do understand that there are days in fishing that even in the Big Game fishing or Bottom fishing... Más
