These guys really work hard to put you on the fish and are an absolute blast to fish with.

We did catch a big mahi mahi, which was great.

However, I was honestly quite disappointed because the 5+ hours fishing trips only had 2 bites IN TOTAL. Was it bad luck or something else? I believe it is the latter but you can see if you agree with me. This is how the trip went:

We did trolling for 2+ hours. Absolutely nothing happened until we got to near an island. We got the 2 bites within 30 minutes and caught a big mahi. It was great.

But we didn’t stay there. We left the area as soon as we got the mahi and started trolling all the way back for another 2+ hours with exactly 0 bites. Nada!

To me, it was quite obvious that we should stay near the island and we could drive back quicker without trolling. I have no idea why the captain decided to do it his way.  We had enough time to spend near the island. I think an experienced captain would have cut even the first part of the trip short and got to near the island asap.

I talked to others who went on fishing trips on the same morning and they seemed to have caught 6 fishes each at least.

The fish just weren’t biting but the captain and first mate worked hard to try to get fish… we were very impressed with them and will definitely book again for our next trip to Costa Rica

We did catch one rooster this trip but next time we’ll book a full day to hopefully get some big fish for dinner!

Good crew and a good time. Saw some whales and turtles.  But it was a tough fishing day.
