Hard working Captain and crew…got my Rooster!

captain Gerald worked very hard to put me on the fish you could see his expertise in fishing these waters caught my biggest Dorado over 50lbs n my first cubera snapper definitely will go again with Him nxt time thanyou for a day I won’t forget

We had a great trip with Capt. Gerald. Meeting up with the owners and boat in the morning was all on time and easy and we were on the boat and headed out by 7am. Captain Gerald was very friendly and welcomed us aboard. The boat had an excellent Bimini top which was key in the afternoon and was socked well with plenty of waters, beer, sodas, sandwiches, snacks….and BAIT.  The fishing report was a bit slow for the week so we headed south to avoid the winds and find some signs of life. We ended up trolling with the biggest pod of Spinner Dolphins Id ever seen, thousands of animals. We trolled and casted for tuna for a few hours but had no luck so we broke free from the dolphin pod and started trolling north and thats we when we got some action. We had a few Mahi run through the gear and finally hung one a nice one but the prize of the day was the 40# Whaoo.  Captain Gerald fished hard all day for us, changing baits and lures serval times and we were one of the only boats to catch fish that day.  I will definitely go out with him again.

My son and I went for a 3/4 day trip and initially were thinking of doing more inshore fishing, but Gerald advised us that the inshore fishing had been tough lately.  So we opted to go deep. We made the right choice. In the morning we hooked up on a beautiful sailfish, a giant triple tail and a mahi mahi. Gerald’s experience shone through as he found a large piece of floating bamboo that baitfish, triple tails and the mahi-mahi were congregated around. He was able to distract the large school of trigger fish with pieces of bait and that allowed us to target the giant triple tail that we landed.  In the short afternoon we decided to switch it up and do some bottom fishing and Gerald put us on some grouper and we landed one. 

The boat itself (Boston Whaler) was nothing fancy and quite old, but it did the trick. We were appreciative of the Bimini that gave us shelter from the punishing sun. 

Roy and Louise were so nice and greeted us at the start and end of the trip.  Louis’ sandwiches and homemade granola bars were delicious! 

It was an outstanding day and one of the best fishing charters we have done.
