Had a good trip with El Gato 3.  It was my family of 4.  Boat was a little crowded with 4 of us plus captain and mate. I requested to fish for roosterfish and snapper and thats what we did.  We did a 5 hr trip.  First hour we spent slow trolling live blue runners for roosters and no bites.  Next we moved to a snapper spot that quickly started biting.  We caught and kept 5 small red snapper for dinner and lost a few more.  After the snapper bite slowed we headed back to troll for roosters where we had one bite but no hookup.  They did there best to get us on fish and to fish what i requested.  They had sodas, beer, water, fruit and chips for snacks.  They were very attentive and I would recommend them to someone looking for an inshore trip.

We had an absolutely amazing time fishing with Luis and his wife, Shirley! They were both incredibly friendly and worked so hard to take us to different spots to catch a variety of fish. We were thrilled to reel in a huge rooster fish and even a massive manta ray—such an unforgettable experience!

Shirley has a great eye—she spotted a whale, and we were able to get close enough for a breathtaking view. Both Luis and Shirley were so patient and willing to teach us, making sure we learned new techniques along the way. The boat was spotless, thanks to Shirley, and they had plenty of fresh fruit and a great selection of beverages to keep us refreshed.

We will definitely be booking with them again. If you’re looking for an unforgettable deep-sea fishing adventure with an amazing team, Luis and Shirley are the best!

Tuvimos una experiencia absolutamente increíble pescando con Luis y su esposa, Shirley. ¡Fueron muy amables y trabajaron arduamente para llevarnos a diferentes lugares y pescar una gran variedad de especies! Fue emocionante atrapar un enorme pez gallo y hasta una gigantesca mantarraya—¡una experiencia inolvidable!

Shirley tiene una vista increíble—detectó una ballena, y pudimos acercarnos lo suficiente para verla de cerca. Tanto Luis como Shirley fueron muy pacientes y estuvieron dispuestos a enseñarnos, asegurándose de que aprendiéramos nuevas técnicas durante el viaje. El bote estaba impecable gracias a Shirley, y tenían mucha fruta fresca y una excelente selección de bebidas para mantenernos hidratados y cómodos.

Definitivamente volveremos a pescar con ellos. Si buscas una aventura inolvidable en alta mar con un equipo increíble, ¡Luis y Shirley son la mejor opción!

We went out with Luis for a 3/4 day trip offshore. Had a great trip, had several small mahi hook up then come off. We kept working until finally hooking up with a sailfish. My daughter landed it and we had the pressure off. Maybe a hour later we hooked up again with a really large sail. After about a 20 min fight we landed it. My largest to date in Costa Rica or Mexico. We got right back to it and hooked up immediately again with another sailfish. After a short fight it was able to shake free. All in all they did a great job of putting us on the fish.

My wife and I are very experienced fishermen and know how fishing can go. We did catch a yellowfin tuna and a mahi mahi (both bucket list fish). Had quite a few hits that didn’t hook up but I’m not sure how you can fault the crew for that!! The boat, equipment, and crew were top notch. And Captain Luis, you are too tough on yourself regarding your English skills!! We communicated just fine! I’d book with you again in a heartbeat!!! Thanks to you and your wife for a fantastic day on the water. And thank you for the dolphin show!! Sweet bonus!!!

Capt. Luis and Churri exceeded expectations.  They were able to put me on Sailfish (caught 2 in 1 1/2 hours of trolling).  Then I requested that we go inshore to try and catch Roosterfish.  Unfortunately we were not as lucky with the Roosterfish, but it was not due to the effort of the Capt… he is very experienced and tried hard… they just weren’t biting.
