Full day trip targeting Mahi and Sails.  We were a group of four that have never fished for these species before.  Met the boat on the beach at 7:30.  On the fishing grounds at 8:30.  First boated Mahi by my wife at 9:30. Double at 10:45. Another double at 12:30.  In all we boated 5 Mahi ranging between 49 and 59 inches, 35lb to 45lb.  We also had 1 Mahi and 2 Sails hit, but didn’t get to the boat.  Can’t say enough about Captain Jorge and Mate Willie.  From immediately taking our call when traffic caused us to be late.  To working with us amateurs in fighting and landing these fish.  Ceviche was awesome!!  Already planning on booking again for our next trip to hopefully land those Sails.

Trip started out with a sailfish hook up in first hour.  My son battled and landed this beauty.  The rest of the day was slow, but thats how it goes some times.  I’ve chartered trips before and you can tell when the crew wants a fish as much as the clients. These guys were really into it.  Changed baits and fished hard. Did some bottom fishing to catch some dinner to mix it up a little. (Grouper, Dragonfish)  A Nice platform for small group of 2-4.  You can save some money by not going to Los Suenos and chartering one of the big boats.  All in all it was a nice trip with a fun crew.

Hooked a sailfish right off the start but we lost it. Around 45 mins to a hour later got another one and was able to bring him in. Great time, the deck mate does good work.  Bottom fished on the way back for some fish to bring home.  Only down fall I tried to contact him before hand and got no response. When it says on the beach you meet him standing under a hut on the beach and a water taxi brings you out to the boat.

The big fish bite was slow in the region during our trip (New year’s week), but the captain was very forthcoming and did everything he could to put us on some fish. We trolled in the morning with no luck, then went out a spot where we did some drop shot fishing with great luck. We caught 3 large red snapper and tons of smaller fish (grouper, dragon, etc.) We then went back to trolling and landed a nice Mahi Mahi. I highly recommend taking fish over to Lemon Zest in Jaco, they prepared it amazingly and we ate like kings with the anglers dinner. Overall great experience, would highly recommend. Just remember fishing requires a little luck in being at the right place at the right time, and always tip your crew. Will, the deckhand, was busting his a** all day and was very friendly and fun to hangout with. If you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg to go out on one of the fishing yachts in Los Suenos, I highly recommend going out with Allin! ?Pura vida

Allin is a 28’ boat, cabin to get out of the sun, 250 hp. Outboard, all electronics, clean, well stocked with good fishing equipment..  Captain and 2 mates.. Very experienced.
Fun, productive trip..  we were fishing in calm blue water where the much larger boats were.  Hard to beat this trip for the money. We only had 2 fishermen. Allin is perfect for 2 to 4.
