    Amazing Offshore fishing trip

    Full Day Trip on May 22, 2024 • 2 adults

    Was only out for about 2 hours when the first sailfish hit the line and it took about 25/30 minutes to get him aboard but we released him back into his habitat, then about 20 minutes later the 2nd sailfish hooked on and my wife tried for about 10 minutes but she just couldn’t handle the fight, so I took over and brought him in as well.

    Enjoyable day though fishless

    Half Day Trip on May 22, 2026 • 2 adults

    My wife and I took a half day charter wanting sailfish. Megacatch was great in communicating and getting us prepared. The captain and crew of the Marcella were great. After 4 hours without a strike they rigged a line wiht a small spoon and we caught some small tuna. We used these for bait for rock fishing, but again were skunked. still my wife and I enjoyed the experience.
