Fantastic Fishing Trip!
Half Day – Bottom Fishing/Jigging on July 6, 20267 adults

Captain Carlos and First Mate did a super job of taking care of my family of 7 on our half day fishing adventure. Captain found some fish shortly after leaving the harbor and continued to track with them. Caught some nice sized barracuda and one trigger fish. Everyone in the party was happy catching these fish. Boat was clean and very comfortable for all of us. Great time was had by all.

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda

Half Day – Bottom Fishing/Jigging on July 9, 20263 adults1 child

This trip carried 3 generstions of men in our family. The seas were a wee choppy but the captain and his mate took care of us. There were snacks ans beverages, a comforable boat environment and alot of fun and laughs! We would do it all over again! We all caught barracuda and enjoyed it later that evening in a traditional Michalense style of cooking!
