I went fishing with Captain Russ, Jeff and Ryan and have nothing but good things to say. The location is easy to find and is in a nice area. Once at the marina, the crew was early, we were given a safety brief and spoke about rules for the boat and asked what our expectations were. The cabin was air conditioned and very comfortable to sit in.
After we got the housekeeping out of the way, we shoved off and took a forty five minute ride to the fishing grounds. The boat was extremely comfortable and we shot the breeze with Ryan and Jeff who were easygoing, fun and personable guys. The Captain invited us up to the bridge for the ride, but we were comfortable in the cabin and did not take advantage.
Once we got fishing, we had a fish on in the first ten minutes and landed a mahi. Throughout the day, we had a steady pick of mahi. Captain Russ was on the fish all day. We caught some shorts, lost some fish and had a big fish on (possible wahoo) that was lost by yours truly. At no point were we scolded or lectured, the crew just went back to catching fish.
The end result was us keeping 9 mahi, which were eaten over the next three days by my friends. The Captain and crew made three great suggestions for cook your catch restaurants, but Kaya Island Eats was by far our favorite. I couldn’t think of anything that the captain and crew could have done to make the trip better.
