We went fishing with three adults and two young anglers, 6 and 8. Captain Ricky was punctual and well-prepared, and we quickly identified a great game plan to target eater snappers primarily to get have good catching activity… and catch we did. We got probably 75+ fish and kept the best sized fish, 19 in total. The technique was manageable for non-anglers and really entertaining and fun. We counted at least 8 species and later, after Captain Ricky filleted all the fish for us, had plenty for tacos and ceviche for lunch and some for the freezer. This is the most catching we have ever done on a charter and we’ve been on a bunch. We will definitely reach out to Captain Ricky again next time we are in town.
fishing was great
Had a great tine with you guys today ! See you next time you’re in town !!
One of my best fishing Days
Captain Ricky and Ali did an incredible job and we caught a ton of fish, just on a half day trip! Will definitely be booking future trips and would highly recommend them!
Took some young kids out and they had us on fish immediately. We had a blast. Crew was awesome, boat was perfect. Couldn’t ask for a better trip.
