It took hours of driving around to catch any fish. We did way more driving than fishing. We understand that cannot be controlled.  Then we finally start catching a few fish towards the end only to NOT be able to keep them! We were there on our 30 year anniversary trip. We are from the US and our concierge at our resort told us to bring them back and they would cook them for us. We were going to give the rest to the workers at the resort for being so nice to us. Before we realized we weren’t going to get our 11 fish we tipped the captain and first mate a LARGE tip! Then they said “oh they won’t let you take them back”. I said “look I have a message from our resort”. We weren’t in a position to argue considering we were not in our country, did not speak enough Spanish to plead our case etc. And they knew it! After begging we got one fish to take back with us. 🤬. Our concierge said he couldn’t believe we were done this way.

First off the captain advertise in the ad Francisco is not your captain, he just takes your money put you on a boat with two other Dominican speaking Nationals that speak little to no English. 
They’re only equipped to fish top water, which normally would be fine.  Most of the gear we could tell was heavily worn out, only one outrigger worked.  No GPS and no fish finder.  After 4 hours of fishing and not catching anything I asked to change things up, try different tactics but they either didn’t understand and just kept driving the boat.  Several times when they checked the lines which only happened about once an hour the bait was completely gone. 

Bottom line 9 hours of fishing resulted in no fish.  A professional captain would have changed tactics, to produce at least some results.
