Our half-day trip with Captain Alex, Carlos and Romigo was quite productive.  The boat is well equipped with appropriate gear, and quite well suited to the local waters.  Having an express configuration where everyone can get out of the hot CR sun was a definite plus.  Drinks and fresh pineapple also hit the spot.

The run from the mooring to the Catalina Islands is a short one, a definite benefit.  We had lines in the water on the way out and on our first pass around the island a nice bonito hit one of the lures.  Trolling the other way yielded a big Pacific mackerel.  Captain Alex then apparently found a couple of schools of hungry fish- we were catching them so fast, often two at a time, that it was hard to take pictures of the action or catch.  That, however, is a first-class problem and we boated over 15 bonito, mackerel and mani.  Alas, a selfish didn’t rise to the bait.

An excellent day- highly recommended.

We had a great time. We even caught a shark!

Good trip, worked hard to catch fish in blue water and were rewarded with two very large Mahi. Worked two sailfish we saw but couldn’t get them to bite. My only suggestion is that captain give safety review, life vests, fire extinguishers etc. when we board. Adding that - five stars.

It was the first time everyone came fishing with us, it was usually my daughter and I, but this time my wife and son-n-law came along. We did not catch any fish but it was not for the lack of trying. We trolled through a school of black fin tuna and trolled through schools of Jack’s back and forth, but the fish this day had lock jaw. We did have one release but did not hook up but got back a damaged lure.

We had a very pleasant day we saw schools of fish, sea turtle, 3 whales, sea rays etc, my wife was delighted. I told the captain that I fish a lot and know that fish do not always bite, but that I had a great time on the water and that he and the crew were very pleasant and he tried hard. I would recommend him highly the next he probably caught a boat load of fish.

I would had given a 5 on experience had fish co-operated.
