The Rusty Hook Fishing Charter – Juniper 

Easy to find a boat on fishingbooker, the reviews and submitted pictures helped find reputable charters. We booked The Rusty Hook the day before. Messenging was prompt. And directions from our resort were clear for our cab driver. We Booked 3/4 day, and dropped in 4 lines immediately as we left the marina. The water was quite choppy as we motored East and after 90 minutes we turned south and it got smoother motoring with the waves but against the current, then we started getting hits. Reeled in 3 Mahi Mahi and 1 Barracuda, lost a couple others. Neo was awesome, busy the whole time setting & baiting rods and trying to rid the lines of sargassum. My brother in laws first time fishing in the ocean. Was totally worth it and fun was had by all. Would totally recommend The Rusty Hook

I had an excellent trip with the guys, they did everything in order to catch some big fish!

Did a 4hr AM trip this morning. It was easy to find and a short distance from the resort. Caught 5 Mahi Mahi and 2 snapper. Had the fish cooked at the Fragata Beach Club next to the boat. Overall a good day.

Jorge amd Edwin were fantastic. Great communication and went above and beyond to make the trip great. We’ll be back.

great captain and crew to go fishing with would recommend to anyone

It started slow. But after the first bites we hooked my first Mahi-Mahi. The second took the bait just after the first was landed. After these fish, the captain and his first mate did everything to geht another fish on the hook... No bites.... Shortly before going back I saw a large black fish taking our lure... A hard fight started and we ended winner, mostly because of the perfect teamwork of the captain Edwin and his first mate! The first mate told the captain how to maneuvre and the captain did his job perfectly. The result was a fantastic blue marlin.

We booked a 1/2 day and were hoping for a big fish miracle. Alas it was not to be. The captain and crewman were great and professional. The boat is very nice, clean and comfortable. We went out trolling for big dogs and got not bites. Then went in towards shore and caught a couple of small “trash” fish so at least we had dinner. Not sure if longer trip would have made a difference? I think regrettably the fish just weren’t biting that day. Other boats weren’t catching either. A bad day fishing is still a better day than a day at the office so still happy overall. Will try again another day and would happily do it on their boat.

We had a great trip with the Rusty Hook crew. Took taxi from our hotel to Coco Beach for 6 AM start. We did the six hour trip to make sure we could bottom fish and troll. My son is 9, but hardcore about fishing and was able to troll for a few hours to catch the Mahi and cuda. Boat was solid, better than a lot of the panga’s the locals use. 23’ mako with tower and shade, also had a head up front which comes in handy after a few hours. We trolled using quality Penn reels and rods, had outrigger and downrigger with ballyhoo as bait, pretty much how you troll anywhere in the Caribbean or gulf. After we caught a few trolling we anchored up and dropped cut bait for grunts, yellowtail snapper, squirrelfish. Constant action for my son. Even caught a remora (shark sucker). Couldn’t really ask for anything more. It was great to have two mates plus captain on board to keep the baits fresh. My son got a little queasy towards the end so probably would do a Dramamine for kids next time. Would definitely book again.
