36 years old been fishing since I was 17 on a couple charters boats as I grow up the passion has been even bigger, once you live by the sea there is no explanation about living it. This is my 1st season fishing as self-employed on my boat Not To Bad has been hard but not impossible trying to do my best to satisfy all the needs and desires of clients and i will be more than happy to have you on board to make good memories and have some great times on the water.

    Incredible Fishing Trip

    Full day in shore2 adults

    We started the day targeting roosterfish, and once we hit a few spots, it was ON! We ended up catching more than 12 roosters, and honestly, I’m not sure I could have caught another one if I tried. I had told Haysen that my two goals for the trip were to target tuna and roosterfish, and he kept checking for tuna reports offshore throughout the morning. After an incredible morning of catching more roosterfish than I ever could have imagined, we headed offshore in search of tuna. What happened next was straight out of National Geographic. Dolphins, birds, turtles, and tuna were everywhere, with tuna literally skyrocketing out of the water. First line in, and we were instantly hooked up to a tuna! I’m an avid fisherman and have been fortunate enough to experience some incredible days on the water, but this day topped them all. Haysen is an amazing captain who genuinely loves fishing and, more importantly, making sure his clients have the best experience possible. His knowledge, effort, and passion really made the trip unforgettable. What an incredible experience from start to finish. If you’re considering booking with Haysen, don’t think twice - just book the trip! Thank you, Haysen, for such an incredible day. It’s a fishing trip I’ll never forget!

    Half Day In shore2 adults

    Captain Haysen is the man! I wanted to catch roosterfish and tuna. Captain Haysen put us on roosters right away. We caught them all morning. Then decided to chase Big Yellowfin. Captain would not give up. He found a school of monsters. We hooked into a 100 lb Yellowfin which I fought for 40 minutes. What a battle! If you are coming to this area, Captain Haysen is the guy to put you on fish! He knows fishing and where to find them.

    Reported catch:
    Roosterfish

    Great Experience, highly recommended

    Full day in shore2 adults

    Haysen was awesome! I wanted to fish certain techniques for an uncommon species that most captains won't even allow you to do. Haysen was at our service perfectly! He is very pleasant and professional. Not the typical drunken arrogant jackass you find in this price range. I highly recommend him! His boat and equipment were well above average for this price range. You're not going to find a better value than this. The waters in this area are full of a variety of species and lots of action.

    Reported catch:
    African Pompano Jack

    Great day of fishing

    Half Day In shore2 adults

    We really enjoyed our day of fishing with Captain Haysen. We caught our bait, and he took us to some good fishing spots. We met our limit of fish to bring back - snapper and mackeral, and had fun catching a jack crevalle. The boat was the perfect size for two of us and Haysen. He took great care of us, and is an excellent captain and fisherman. He was dedicated to us catching some fish, and it was very appreciated. Next time we want to stock our freezer, we’ll call him.
