Crew and boat were great, slow start and finish though. Only ended up with small fish such as skipjack and mackerel. Couldn’t be put on anything big. Had a good time nonetheless.
There is some good things- owner was very nice and accommodating to a few needed changes due to travel hiccups. However the captain was not the owner of this trip. Captain was pleasant however was also very set in his way… went to same spot as all other boats and did the same troll of 4 lures - we got lucky caught one fish but that was the highlight- then he started the long trip back to port at a very very slow troll with over 2.5 hours left… funny how we got to port at almost exactly the correct time- needlessly trolling the whole bay- in place of fishing the grounds and then actually motoring back to port at a normal pace. Over all not wort the value.

Hi Eric, I’m sorry to read that, as I told on phone unfortunately I can’t go to all the trips that I have because I have another things to do but we ran from Pv to yelapa to pick you up and then the guys went really far out of the bay and well just trying to find the best action for you, unfortunately is not October or November that the sailfish and marlyn are jumping and jumping because there’s a lot, as you told my captain of you already fish around the world you have to know that is fishing not catching. But well thanks for your comments , we’ll work in it,and have a good time.
Best regards.

The first thing that happened after I met “Captain” Enrique is he sent me on a boat with a different captain and a different first mate. Now they were nice and it wasn’t a terrible experience but I talked to Enrique that I wanted to go offshore fishing which he understood. But since I got on a boat with someone else who didn’t speak very much English I didn’t get to and we stayed inshore fishing. We caught a few fish but not any Mahi Mahi or any variety of fish. I went during January because that’s around the time to go offshore fishing and catch a few exciting fish. The ceviche was good which was prepared by the first mate who was as nice as possible considering the language barrier (keep in mind my mother, grew up in Mexico, was there to translate but often wasn’t spoken to for whatever reason). The reels were a bit old and difficult to reel even without even having a fish on. It was a nice boat and the entire ride was relaxing but I wanted to go offshore which we didn’t do. So the experience kinda bummed me out. Not the worst experience but just not what I was looking for.

Hi Matt, I have another business boats and I can’t go to all the trips that I have, you went with the captain Jose that he has a registration in the Fishingbooking so sometimes the clients will go with me or with him, this is not the season of fishing as you saw there’s the season of the whales the water is cold and all the fish goes out of the bay, your trip was 6 hours, if you can read Puerto Vallarta has the largest bay in Mexico so if 6 hours we will not going out side of the bay 6 hours is inshore fishing, mahi mahi is outside of the bay, and remember is fishing.!!!

We lost a main engine and spent 4 hours idling to and from the fishing grounds.
Hi Craig, As I told sorry about the bad part of this kind of business is that we have engines and we are always using it, we never know when is going to fail but well, the crew tried to do their best effort to give you a good service, as I know you caught Spanish macrel, mahi mahi and also they made you a ceviche.
Thanks for your comments.

first of all the captain doesn’t even join you, the person you communicate with just comes to collect payment then leaves.
In my situation he over charged me as well so now Im in a dispute situation.
We had discussed exactly what we would like to fish through chats and captain forgot to tell the crew so for the first half of the trip they had the wrong rigs on.
They said they would have life bait and they didnt, ive been fising in mexico plenty of times live bait is a must if you want to target trophy fish. I didnt even see a proper tank for holding live bait.
the deck hand was the only nice thing about the trip he was very helpful and nice, and wanted us to have a good experience regardless of all the mistakes the captain made

Hi Paul,
In can’t go to all the trips that I have because sometimes is difficult for me, the other part that you’re saying is that I over charged you, en every place in the whole world if you pay with card you have to pay the tax or the extra charge because you’re using the card if you don’t want to pay tax or extra charge just pay with cash always is going to be better, I always talk to the crew what kind of fish you want to catch but the bad part is that is fishing not catching we don’t have the trophy down the boat just to keeping up, we always have life bait but well when the guys that sells the fish they don’t have because is not the season of life bait we can’t do nothing but we try to have die bait for sure, in the boat we have 4 tubes for life bait and also one in the box to the small life bait.
Have a nice day!
