Dan Castillo•Montana, USMember since 20234.7VerifiedJanuary fishing trip
10 Hour Trip – Offshore on January 7, 2024 • 5 adults • 1 childAlthough the crew was different from what we told they were very good we didn’t catch a lot of fish but it wasn’t the crews fault, one of those days. We were treated to a fabulous ceviche with mahi-mahi. We did a 10 hour trip and the accommodations on the boat made the 10 hours very comfortable, we had enough room to make the trip comfortable.
Jay Bohac•Colorado, USMember since 20215.0VerifiedFull Day trip (12hr) with Captain Cesar
12 Hour Trip - 35-50 Miles Offshore on December 19, 2021 • 3 adultsWe had a good time with Captain Cesar and crew. Went out to la Corbetena and caught a couple dorado's and one really nice striped marlin. We saw a large pod of dolphins along the way and a group of humpback whales breaching not far from us. The boat was impeccably clean and the crew was friendly and worked their tails off switching out baits managing gear when fish would hook up. Caught the marlin casting off the side of the boat! Thanks again for the adventure!
