I deep sea fish regularly and I have never been skunked. The opposite in fact has been my experience with an abundance of fish to take home.  This trip I guess I was over due a less than exciting trip.  Double Hook and the 1st mate did everything and more than could be expected but the fish just didn’t cooperate.  I did catch 1 Barracuda but no edible fish.  I nevertheless enjoyed the trip.

Conditions were definitely in our favor, but the fish were not, we didn’t get any hookups, and we didn’t get a single bite. But the best part was the captain and first mate tried their best to get us on fish all day and always kept moving if there was nothing in the area, also fished pasted our time to try and get us on something. Was still worth the trip!

We had a slow day, with a few small tuna caught early and a few wahoo missed.  There were quite a few sharks in the area (atypical) that were keeping the fish down deep.  Boat is big, wide, and stable. - great for larger groups and rougher seas.  Captain Humberto and deckhand Eduardo are a great team and if there are fish in the area they will put you on them.  There was not a lot of chit chat, other than normal pleasant conversation - which I prefer.

We had a great day on the beautiful blue ocean. The Captain and Mate were nice and boat was safe and well kept.

So fishing was slow for the first 4 hours and 2/3 of my gang was feeling seasick.  Then the captain and first mate changed our fishing approach by using different bait.  Wow we started being too busy to be worried about anything but if we could get the Wahoo in without being eaten by the sharks that were attacking them as well.  Fun and we had plenty of Wahoo for a great grilling of our catch that afternoon.  A trip to remember.
