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.

This is a trolling only trip. Don’t expect to catch a lot of fish, but you have a chance to catch a true trophy. We trolled for roughly 4.5 hours. We find birds swapping and a few tuna running bait. We had one decent tuna bite we reeled in and toward the end we had a marlin strike but never hooked up. I would love to have 3 to 4 full days in a row in July or August. I’d do it again. The sea was very rough, at times I’m sure there were 8 footers out there. The boat took them well though.

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