Well where to begin! I was the only angler on Mad Marlin with the amazing Capt Andrés and his first mate the beautiful Arixa!
We went out 31 miles for sailfish, Marlin and tuna. (43 miles).
Boom right at 8:30am Sailfish on!!! I start reeling her in and what? The reel broke! Not to be deterred I asked Capt Andrés for gloves. We are going to reel this on by hand! Capt estimated 115 lbs! Arixa was on the spot in helping me get the sailfish tagged. My first ever! He even put together an amazing video of it as proof! (Along with seeing thousands of dolphins and catching a 16 lb Tuna later in the day!). **hidden content**
So after trolling and trying different baits and lures Capt Andrés asked me if I wanted to go for tuna, i said hell yeah! I really appreciated that he wanted my input. So we headed out further which as I’ve experienced most charters try and take you back in saving gas but not Capt Andrés! He was all for it and us getting some sashimi baby!
So we come up to the grounds and thousands of dolphins jumping around! Capt Andrés shared that tuna like to play with the dolphins. After seeing another boat catch a tuna i knew we were due And sure enough, I’m jigging the line and boom! Fish on!!! I thought it was a baby at first not putting up fight but as soon as I got it close to the boat it took off!! This happened 4 times! Finally was able to win the battle and got it on board! Arixa was spot on again in hooking it onboard.
We trolled all the way back and Arixa cut up the tuna and made amazing sashimi on the way back! She’s amazing on top of being beautiful!
I can’t recommend Capt Andrés enough. The best charter I’ve ever had! I will definitely be back and go again!
Well where to begin! I was the only angler on Mad Marlin with the amazing Capt Andrés and his first mate the beautiful Arixa!...
