All Inclusive 5 Hour Fishing Trip

Great Captain and Crew!

VERIFIED

We fished with Captain Rios in early April and had a fantastic time. Our group of five included a mix of beginners, young adults, and one experienced angler. While we didn’t hook any billfish, tuna, or dorado, we did land five hard-fighting Jack Crevalle, some over 30 lbs, while trolling — an exciting experience for all. The boat is older but clearly well cared for, and the gear was high-quality and well maintained. The first mate was excellent, expertly setting out a wide variety of trolling jigs and helping us land our fish with ease. Breakfast burritos kicked off the day right, and there were plenty of snacks and drinks throughout the trip. To anyone looking for a legit day on the water with a skilled, friendly crew, we highly recommend Split Decision II. We’d definitely book with them again.

We went after Marlin or tuna. Not ideal time for either. Captain put us on Marlin and we landed one and fought with another before it escaped. A great day with friends and a professional crew. I would recommend
