    Great afternoon fishing!

    What a great afternoon of fishing and ocean activity. My nephew was able to catch a bucket list fish, Cubera Snapper and it was a whopper weighing around 60 lbs. Before reeling this one in we caught a small bonita that was used as bait to catch the Snapper. Mahi Mahi - we caught this one while trolling. We saw so much sea life this afternoon. Turtles humping, a sea snake, dolphins and flying fish. Luis and Shirley are clearly professionals and did a great job!

    We caught lots of fish!

    Great trip. Captain Marco can find fish. We hooked up within two minutes and got a yellowing tuna. Got 5 more and a giant Cubera Snapper. Highly recommended.
