The season had not started yet, Fishing was slow but our Caption new where to take us! We caught Pargo (Snapper), and Rosterfish. What a blast, someone always had a fish on. The crew fileted the catch, and the Buena Vista Resort restaurant, the chef and the staff treated us to a 5 star meal with the fish we caught that morning. What an experience for the grandkids!

The bite wasn’t super hot, but we were still able to hook a striped marlin. Felipe was very accommodating to my father and I! He was in time, eager to catch fish, very positive, and willing to share his tips and trips. While reeling in the catch he was very calm, and gave great direction! Will definitely holler at him again when I am back in town!

Half Day Trip on August 10, 2021

I had catching a rooster fish on my bucket list and Captain Felipe helped me check it off the list. We fished for two half days, and while mother nature wasn't very helpful giving us big seas, we we persevered and landed four nice roosters. Captain Felipe was very helpful and made the trip one to remember.
