A short but great trip with Captain Escobosa!  It was a last minute trip that I managed to squeeze in before going to the airport and catching a flight.  The captain and deckhand met me super early (still dark) at the dock.  On the way out, we trolled and caught a nice barracuda.  After getting to the waypoint, we bottom fished and in 30 years of freshwater fishing (bass, catfish), this was probably one of my top 5 trips.  We were catching so many fish I told the deckhand that I would bait my own hooks just to give my arm a break!  Granted, they were not monsters, but we were catching them non-stop. 

We had a spinning reel and baitcasting reel for bottom fishing.  The equipment was in good shape.  The captain brought sodas and beer.  On the way back we trolled for kingfish for a few minutes but no luck.  After that, a great boat ride back to the dock.  The weather was perfect!

All in all, a great trip!!!  Just a few thoughts:  1- have realistic expectations, 2- room is limited on the boat so keep that in mind, 3- the boat is at the dock in Puerto Morelos, the address had my maps showing in the middle of town, or somewhere on a beach, 4- just go, have a great time, and don’t forget to tip!  Muchos gracias mi amigos!!!!

We enjoyed our trip and would recommend the experience. The seas were a bit rough that day but we still managed to catch some fish. We ended the trip a bit early due to some queasiness on my part. Will remember the Dramamine next time!

It was a tough day on the water with the very rough seas.  This crew worked hard and we ended up landing a massive Mahi.  My boys and I appreciated their skill in the very rough seas.  Thanks to the crew!!

Booked this last minute trip and….no regrets! Planned for 2 hours of trolling/topwater fishing and 2 hours of bottom, but the seaweed hampered the first half. No problem….moved on to fishing the bottom and hit paydirt. Even pulled in 2 triggerfish on one cast!!! Paolo was a great captain and I had a great time. Would definitely recommend and will be back!
