Patience needed to catch big sport fish. Plenty of action fish in bay if your looking to reel in more fish in short periods

If you get sea sick at all definitely take some medicine to prevent that. The Pacific Ocean is not the most calm body of water.

Do not go fishing expecting to catch a fish. There is no guarantee you will ever catch fish on any charter. Trust the men to do their job and enjoy The opportunity, views, and memories!!!

Make sure your transportation knows where to go. Cab can contact boat captains if you are having location problems

9 Mahi Mahis caught and an abundance of marine life to keep you occupied while you're waiting to reel something in!

Absolutely recommend this captain and crew! They work their butts off to get you on the fish. They are very polite and professional. And they make some killer guacamole!

If you like to have some beers while fishing bring them along, as well as some snacks, and sandwiches or something easy for lunch

Slow start to the morning. Based off of the chatter on the radio, it was a slow morning for all of the boats out fishing in the bay.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. So pick a good captain who will at least make the trip enjoyable.

When you book a short trip you have to fish a very popular and overfished area so the number and size of fish are smaller.

The farther out you go, the better! Fished in mid October and it was good, but November would have been even better!

Bring your snacks and have some patience. The fish bite when they are ready. When they bite though, hold on!

The waters at Corbetana are vibrant blue and teaming with fish. Inside the bay the bite is definitely on as well.

They fish for most of the deep sea species the same way, 6 hour inside the bay was great you can also get a longer trip and go further out with more possibility of catching larger fish.

Thought we were going out further, but we stayed in the bay. Fishing was pretty slow, but you can't ever predict how it will go. It was a fun day but wish we would've gone out further.

The water was great and the fishing was good. My 13 year old landed 12 fish and I pulled in 6. All and all great fishing.

Don't expect to catch a lot in February, but being on a boat with a line in the water and a wish still makes your day.

Would've liked to catch a sailfish or larger but our captain informed us that they easier to catch starting in August

Know there is no guarantee you will catch fish. It's called "fishing" not "catching." Go fishing and ready to enjoy the nature of Banderas Bay and if you catch that will be an awesome bonus!

Don’t expect too much, sometimes you are lucky and sometime your not. This is rainy season and fishing is more difficult, but if you happen to get the right crew you will be successful.

Check the moon phases to make sure you are going during a time great for fishing. We had a full moon that day. Rookie mistake on our end.

Kind of hard to base a review on a singular poor fishing experience, but based on 5 hours of night fishing, no. Try an early morning trip that gets farther out in the ocean.

While you may not catch exactly what you're looking for, the Capt. worked hard at making sure we did catch fish.
