3 Hour Trip on January 7, 2025
Our family of 5 went out with Captain Nico and had a great day. Nico was very communicative leading up to our trip. He was ready to go the moment we stepped on the boat. We started off trolling behind the reef with no luck. Then we went deeper and found some birds and fish out by the algae chain/buoy. We caught one, reeled it in, but then it got away. We persevered and ended up with bites on 2 different lines at the same time. It was so exciting and a little crazy reeling them in, maneuvering the boat, keeping the lines untangled, etc., but Nico was able to direct us all so we got 2 on board! Great day!

Our trip was great! Nico was gracious and kind, and although the weather was great nothing was biting at all. We were on our way back when Nico spotted some birds feeding, so we motored over and we hooked one! He encouraged my oldest through reeling it in all by himself, then talked us through gaffing and bringing it aboard. Such encouragement and joy-he clearly loves what he does. He fishes with respect and quiet calm. 10 out of 10, would fish with Nico again!!

Captain Nico was great! We trolled along the reef taking in the beautiful view of Tahiti and Moorea, waves and wildlife. Unfortunately no fish today but still a great experience. Thank you
