Wonderful morning fishing!  Everyone caught a mahi and had a beautiful ride!

My son has always wanted to fish for mahi mahi and/or tuna in the Bahamas. So we decided to book a corresponding trip on Friday, 12.4.2024. My wife and my son’s girlfriend accompanied us.
Because it had been a bit windy and choppy all week, we decided for the boat Chubasco - 48’ from Hatteras Sportfish - Captain Mike Russel. As it was our first “real” fishing trip, we decided to book the morning trip (4 hours).
Captain Mike and his assistant arrived punctually at the agreed harbor location and the fishing tackle and bait were already ready for use. We started fishing about 15 minutes after leaving the port of Nassau. Despite the total of 4 fishing rods that we had mounted, we were unfortunately unable to record a single bite. So in the end it was a bit disappointing… but that’s the way it is with fishing…. there is no guarantee.
However… Captain Mike Rusell has certainly done a lot to find fish… unfortunately we didn’t succeed…. maybe next time !??

Captain Mike and first mate, Lunky, were fantastic. Good fishermen, good people, and very sociable. Landed some nice Mahi-Mahi on the trip. Hope to fish with them again next year.

Weather wasn’t ideal but the captain and the mate made our family fishing trip a great day.
