The owner was extremely responsive to any questions asked before booking. All answers where on point. The crew was very good with trying to locate, fish for us to catch. They tried trolling and was successful on several fish. They then changed to casting over feeding fish and had extreme success. The fish where hitting and the fights of the Skip Jack where excellent. A beautiful colored fish. The only thing was there is note that Fishing licenses are included (called a port fee). They are not included. It was $13.00 US per person (The change is in pesos). It was excellent day of fishing and the weather was fantastic.
Thank you for your review John, thank you for booking with us!!
