I’ve never seen a crew do so little.  In 5 hours of trolling, I think they checked or refreshed the bait on the lines once without us insisting.  Because we insisted, some lines got checked twice in 5 hours, but not all of them.  And sure enough, when they would reluctantly pull in a line at our suggestion, no bait.  Well, after two hours what did you expect. 

I’ve been on many deep-sea fishing trips and the crew always seemed to be busy.  Checking lines, refreshing bait, pulling on the deployed lines to create bait action, and lots of other activity as well that I can’t classify because I’ve never crewed a boat.  This crew seemed interested in doing as little as possible.  And what a surprise, no fish!

Last time I went on a trip years ago in Cozumel and got no bites trolling, the crew stopped the boat in the shallows on the way back and we bottom fished.  They cared and didn’t want us to go home empty handed.  I just assumed this would happen on this boat too.  Nope!  Straight back to the dock with just a shrug of the shoulders from the crew.  Never touched a fishing pole in 5 hours.  But on the positive side, at least the crew caught up on some apparently much needed rest.

We still tipped them well.  We’re Americans, we can’t help but to tip, even with bad service.  But the tip notwithstanding, I wouldn’t go with this outfit again, certainly not this crew.

We had a great time and experience with the captain and crew. The captain got us on to some fish and we ended up getting 4 sailfish. This was the second time using this company and i can’t say enough about them. I would absolutely book with them again and plan to do so in the future.

Captain kept searching for fish whenever we didn’t strike quickly. We caught corbina, red snapper,  white sea bass, trigger fish and pompano. Between the 3 of us we caught 30+ fish. Have used the company 3 times and have always went home happy.
