Had an amazing day with Capt. Charleton and crew on the Chubasco VI! Smooth and easy taxi ride from the cruise port after we got off the ship. After trolling for a little over two hours with no luck/ dodging a storm, Capt. Charleton suggested we switch things up and head to the reefs for some light trolling but before heading to the reefs there were a flock of birds circling nearby and we caught a few tunas before heading the reefs where the bite was on 🔥.  Barracuda, a hound fish, yellow tail snapper and a reef shark!

1. Bring your own bag full of ice for any fish you want to keep.

We did pretty well for a half day.  Four assorted snapper and one full size barracuda.  The boat was in good shape and the Capt. and mate were both very nice.  We trolled for a couple hours, getting nothing, and then came in shore to grab the fish we did.

Our only misgiving is that we did not plan ahead with what we were going to do with our catch and the capt. and mate were not really forthcoming with ideas on where we could go to get any fish we wanted to keep cleaned and/or cooked.  They acted as though noone had ever asked them to keep something that they had caught, which seemed rather weird, given the fact that they must be asked that question on a near daily basis.

It is our mistake for not having this aspect planned out.  We had a couple snapper that would have made for some great eating. 

Otherwise, it was a great family event and our 13 year old loved bringing in his cuda.
