Good experience, we got plenty of Mahis, Captain Rick brought us on 3 successful spots, when other boats looked desperate to get fish. Will definitely recommend him for Mahi fishing.

Very poor experience with this birthday trip!.. one and only worst and I have done lots of fishing
at 74 yrs.old been around and bouncing on a few ocean!

First thing first, not pick up as suggested or miss represented or misunderstood?.. had to walk down the street with bags and all, go thru a private parking lot—to a private boat ramp and climb into the boat.
2.  Next: It was not a 23ft contender boat as advertise, far from it, but—-a beat up 20footer with no room up front (cooler and bag taking the whole front end) very uncomfortable dilapidated seat cushion etc…not properly clean up etc.. probably should of back off right then! especially after the guy pull the cover off to check something? anticipation is a killer ...
3. next: Finally when asked if I wanted live bait ( better fishing chances) I knew that- ask -how many no real answer from the Capt….went for 2 dozen $ 60.00..huhu live pilchard.. big waste of money. ( never got a hit and barely used them for me anyway)
4.  next: right out not so comfortable on a 20ft bouncing on 4-5 waves but manageable - I’ve seen worse and since I love the seas why not it’s my BD!  but it did rattle a few of my vertebrae’s.. I’m good and strangely I liked the Capt….name ? from Miramar, his dad coming over from Puerto Rico for his wife’s birth of a son, nice and very decent individual in my book.
5.  next:  I am hitching to reel in a fish, we troll and troll only two outboard lines with single lures
and one mini type in the center.. normally 2 outriggers to keep lines from tangling( yes it tangles ) so far no hits- found weeds.. no hits.. stay too short not really working it out for Mahies..
4. next: went out to the deep deep for rosies -never heard of them—why not.. not a single strike yet.. problem: it’s hands off and all electrical catch yack!  6 fishes 1/2 pound or so.
5:  next: 4-5 hrs gone starting to feel—not a good day and tried inshore etc not a single for me $ 460.00 later and sweat included… wowww could not believe,  still don’t—a ride in a lousy boat on a fairly rough ocean but it is the first time I have charter an open fisherman boat—folks do ck. the Capt. and boat matching their advertising. He could of giving me a cut—none…
..last for me : I did like the guy driving the boat and I do believe in the old saying : a lousy day of fishing is better than a good day at work!!!.. Beware!
