Captain Buck hat uns einen tollen Tag bereitet. Erst haben wir Baitfish gefangen, dann haben wir ca. 2 Stunden Bottomfishing gemacht und haben einige schöne Drills gehabt. Nach kurzem Trolling (ca. 1 Stunde) haben wir am Whole in the Rock mit Baitfish auf Thunfisch und Kingfish geangelt. Ingesamt haben wir einige schöne Fische gelandet und einige gute Drills gehabt. Es war ein schöner und vielseitiger Tag. Es hat viel Spass gemacht. Empehlenswert sind die längeren Touren. Das bietet mehr Möglichkeiten.
Thank you so much for the day we spent together
Fantastic day out on the water! The captain was professional, friendly, and explained everything clearly, which made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. He took the time to teach us the techniques and made sure we felt confident throughout the trip. We had great action and an unforgettable experience.
Thank you for choosing me to take you on this voyage And thank you for teaching me some new Japanese language
One of the best fishing charter's I've been on. Captain Bucko definitely knows his stuff about fish. Caught plenty, enough to share around when we retuned. Would definately recomend him for a fantastic day out. Put it on your bucket list.
Thank you Darren it was great to have you on board
We had the most amazing half day fishing charter with Captain Bucko. We caught good sized snapper and loved cooking and eating the fresh fillets too! The fishing was lots of fun. Captain Bucko kept us entertained with his funny stories and jokes too. We have great memories that we will be talking about for many years to come. We highly recommend Captain Bucko and his fishing charter.
