Tough day but would recommend
Half Day Trip (PM) on December 8, 20254 adults
Although we did not catch fish, our experience was good. The captain worked hard to find fish and extended our charter by almost two hours to find fish. In talking with others, various charters got skunked. I would use this charter in the future.

Fished with Capt Mario on the Salsa. Knowledgeable experienced Captain that got us on fish. Truly a great day and will fish with him next time I am there. I fished on the 26 or 27 foot Salsa. If you want more comfort, recommend you check out the larger boats in the coyote fleet. But if you are used to fishing smaller boats and want to experience fishing up close and personal, the Salsa is for you.

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 9, 20254 adults
Captain Mario and Issac were awesome. They worked nonstop to put us on fish. Our trip was scheduled for inshore fishing but upon our arrival Captain Frank from Coyote noted that bite was very slow. He put us on a larger boat and had us target billfish. We caught four large sailfish on a half day trip. It was awesome.

It was slow on the water, but caught a couple tuna which was awesome! Crew was great, and kept trying new things to get fish.
