“Fishing” may be called that instead of “Catching” for a reason, but on this day “Catching” would have been more appropriate!

This Aug 31st was a perfect half-day morning fishing charter for me, my son Kevin, son-in-law Justin and nephew AJ. Rita was more than accommodating with the start time based on our disembarking time from our Royal Caribbean cruise ship. Albatros Captain Oscar and first mate Jimmy (Jaime) were wonderful. They were prompt at the pier at 9:00am and everything was as promised with plenty of food and drink available. All of the bait was pre-rigged and ready before we boarded. We were fishing minutes after boarding.  Within 30 minutes we hit a school of mahi and had four on rods at the same time! A while later we brought in two more all about the same size of about 22” - 28” long. Then the big bull hit and kept us all busy for over 30 minutes taking turns wearing each of us out. He was over 48” long and a bruiser! On the way iback to the dock we caught two more of the smaller females to make it a total of 8 (2 each) plus the one big bull!

We ended the trip with a lunch at the nearby Sand Dollar cafe consisting of two of the mahi mahi’s which Jimmy filleted for us on board.

Thank you for a fantastic trip and the wonderful memories we will each have forever.

My son and I were out for his first deep sea fishing adventure - given weather over previous days the fish were not biting.  It wasn’t just us - none of the boats were catching much.  Captain and crew worked the lines trying different approach, bait (live and other) and we (my sone) caught a very nice Mahi.  Honestly, think we would have been shut out if they hadn’t worked so hard.  Well done!

Went on a half day fishing trip with my wife, 2 young (7&5) sons, and parents. The boat and the crew were great. Very friendly and accommodating. The fishing was a bit of a disappointment due to the water conditions. We had large swells for the first couple hours and it was basically survival mode for avoiding sea sickness. The waters calmed, but unfortunately, we were shut out and didn’t catch any fish. Too bad we didn’t have better luck, my boys were sad.
