Highly Recommend Captain and Carlos – An Unforgettable Fishing Adventure! I can’t say enough about the incredible fishing trip we had with Captain and Carlos! My friend Brian, our three kids, and I went out with them for a day on the ocean, and it was hands-down one of the most memorable experiences we’ve ever had. From start to finish, these guys were professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had an absolute blast. It took about 45 minutes to reach the spot where the fish were biting, but once we got there, it was pure magic. The fish were hitting one after another for a solid hour—it was non-stop action! We were reeling them in so fast that I’m convinced if we’d had one more deckhand, we could’ve caught hundreds. My kids were over the moon, and I know they’ll be talking about this trip for years to come. Captain and Carlos knew exactly where to take us and kept the energy high, making sure everyone was having fun and landing fish. What really stood out was their honesty and kindness. I didn’t have cash on me for the trip and let them know afterward (I was upfront about it because I didn’t want any issues). Not only were they completely understanding, but they went out of their way to take us to an ATM via the boat so I could pay. When I accidentally overpaid, they meticulously counted the money and insisted on giving me back the extra. That level of integrity is rare and speaks volumes about their character. Captain and Carlos were fantastic with the kids, keeping them engaged and safe while creating an atmosphere of pure joy. They’re not just skilled at what they do—they’re genuinely great people who care about their guests. This trip gave my kids, Brian, and me memories we’ll cherish forever, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure with honest, professional, and fun guides, book with Captain and Carlos—you won’t be disappointed! Troy K.

Captain Juan Zepeda and mate Carlos are expert hardworking fishermen and made our trip one to remember. For a slower bite we still landed 2 sail fish, lost one and chased numerous others. This team really knows what they are doing. I have fished on quite a few boats and this team stands out as being completely committed to your success. Thanks to the TOTOABA crew for a great day!
