Inshore Great
Full Day Trip – Inshore Fishing on August 5, 2025 • 3 adults

We had a great trip my wife an 16 year old son. We caught a handful of Rooster fish and my son caught a Cubera on a popper and Michael the mate hooked a gave the rod to my son on probably 35 pd Cubera. These guys were very conciseness aboutt releasing them the right way and they get an A plus in my book. They work very well as a team. Their equipment is good I would have liked a lighter rod for the popper now that I'm in my 50's. Their equipment most important thing is the worked their asses off

    Fished 2 days with Daniel. On day 1 we made a long run pretty much to Hannibal bank and were in the tuna all day. Landed 4 yellowfin between 20 -40#. Very fun throwing to boiling leaping fish. Also caught a nice snapper. Day 2 was tough as weather prevented us from getting as far offshore and we fished islands and rocks. A few small Bonita and a beautiful Blue Jack were the days catch. Great effort by the captain and mate as we jogged, trolled, used live and cut bait as well as plugs. Also, the captain provided excellent food and beverages for the trip. Pulled pork sandwiches, ceviche, fresh fruit, jumbo shrimp, grilled tuna. All were outstanding.

    We were hoping to catch several tuna. Unfortunately, we only got one (enough for dinner!!!), but we also caught and released 2 sailfish which gave us quite a flight to bring in. Captain Michael and mate David were very attentive throughout the trip. We had a fantastic time!

    The first way my expectations were exceeded was being just my wife and I on the boat, we not only had Captain Daniel and a mate, but also a second mate. This was awesome with having plenty of room and with all the intensity and chaos that comes about when you find tuna. The second way was absolutely the food! It was like having fine restaurant quality food in the middle of a fishing day. I’m the type that when it comes to fishing, I just need a handful of something quickly so it doesn’t interfere with fishing time. Daniel served us tuna that was extraordinary. Then even though I didn’t think I wanted anything more to eat, I agreed to try the ceviche and it was spectacular. I ended up eating past full because it was so good. Then, after a fantastic day of fishing he served our fresh caught tuna as sashimi with avocado that I can still taste thinking about it. The food was unreal and again, I’m a give me a sandwich or an energy bar and call it good kind of fisherman. Another way my expectations were exceeded is that this was the first charter fishing trip I’ve had that I didn’t feel like we were “on the clock”. Daniel never made us feel like we’re in a hurry and time is running out and we’re following a specific time schedule to get back. He actually asked us if we were ready to be done or if we wanted to keep fishing after our time was technically up. The great thing was we both caught yellowfin tuna that were great battles, my wife caught a whitetip shark and actually lost another, and I caught my most wanted saltwater fish, a big Rooster, so we were satisfied and exhausted and ready to call it a wonderful day. Thank you Daniel, looking forward to coming back and fishing with you again!
