7 Hour Trip – Offshore on March 29, 2025

Captain Rudy and the Moonwalker crew hooked me up with three sailfish within two hours of first lines in the water! An awesome experience! I asked to then go chase the Yellowtail schools in the area. A valiant attempt was made but no tuna found. Still an unforgettable day on the water!

9 Hour Trip – Offshore on October 23, 2024

Had a great day with capt Johnny and crew. 2 sailfish before 10 Am. Then asked them to move on to other fish. Although nothing panned out it was all good. The hot lunch heated up on the engine for four hrs was actually OK. Just not my thing. I'd rather have a Sandwich in the costa Rican heat. Maybe just got spoiled on previous trips this week.

5 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on February 14, 2024

Clearly, there was a slow bite this morning as the Captain confirmed his discussions with other Captains indicated no caught fish. We had good bait, and Captain Johnny kept us moving from one spot to another. In the fifth hour things paid off as we were able to successfully bring in two Roosterfish. First mate Andre worked hard. He and Captain Johnny are a great team and will not disappoint. Great effort! Fished with them last year and will look forward to going again.

9 Hour Trip – Offshore on February 1, 2023

We booked the full day offshore fishing trip and let the Captain know when we boarded what fishing experience we were looking for and the crew delivered. They worked hard all day and gave us the fishing experience of a lifetime. We caught tuna, mahi-mahi and sailfish. We hooked a blue marlin but he threw the hook. All in all, an exhausting but exciting day of fishing. Captain and crew were experienced and knowledgeable. They were well prepared for the trip and delivered on every aspect. We appreciated their hard work and dedication to providing an outstanding fishing experience. Thanks again guys. Plan to be back soon.
