Background
We have over 50 years of fishing experience in California, Mexico, Hawaii, and Texas and have won or placed in numerous Marlin Tournaments. We do not do 'share charters', when you book with us it is your boat and you are not sharing it with strangers.
Techniques
Trolling is our preferred method allowing us to cover more area searching for birds, bait, current lines, floating debris and nets. Of course finding actively feeding fish thrills all of us Anglers.
