My husband and I had a wonderful time with Capt. Luis for a lagoon adventure and cookout.  We were able to catch barracuda and spear lobster for lunch, and we spent some time swimming around the coral reef- I was thrilled!  After lunch we went in search of manatees, which also pleased me greatly. We also waited out a rain storm by tying up to the mangroves in the boat. 

The only thing lacking from this fishing trip was the fishing itself.  The website posts all sorts of pictures of exotic fish being caught and fishing was probably only 20% of our actual full-day adventure.  My husband was particularly disappointed that we didn’t spend more time fishing… perhaps we could have had the cookout later in the afternoon (when it was forecasted to rain) to allow for fishing for more diverse species in deeper water while it was sunny out.  Or perhaps the live bait could have been caught the day prior so we didn’t have to spend time looking for them. Or maybe the itinerary wasn’t properly explained to us up front as we did not know that we needed to specify that we wanted to catch more fish for the sport of it.  We looked for snapper but couldn’t find them- nobody’s fault.  I was delightfully surprised by the wildlife and coral viewing but it was supposed to be a fishing trip after all.  Maybe the captain changed the itinerary on the fly due to the afternoon lightning storm… hard to say.  We had fun, but the fishing portion left us wanting.  For the price we paid, we’ve gone on fishing trips and caught dozens of fish each, and on this trip I think we each caught two fish over the course of an hour… we would have happily sacrificed other activities to spend some of the other ~6 hours fishing.
