10 Hour Trip – Corbeteña Fishing on May 3, 2022

We stared off the day early, We thought the boat had blue LEDS under it but the fishermen explained to us that it was bioluminescence which I never thought I would see in person. We ended up catching about 5 or 6 mahi mahi which was the fish I came here to catch. The fisherman were knowledgeable and professional and seemed to know the area super well. They filleted the fish perfectly and packed them for us to take to the hotel. I will definitely be going through them for my next trip.

I have been on more than two dozen deep sea fishing trip and these guys, by far, tried harder than any crew I ever been with. They were very polite and made sure we were on the fish. I can’t wait to go back for a full day trip.
