My son (10 yo) and I wanted to do our first saltwater trip while we were here. Captain Mendez took us out on a fantastic Grouper hunt! He had bait ready to go and breakfast/drinks in the cooler for us to start the day. Fishing started off solid with my son hooking into a Spanish Mackrel giving a good fight for a little lad. We then moved onto other spots for bottom fishing, by the end of the trip we were knee deep in fish. Mendez and his deck hand are calm and coordinated, but he’s definitely... More

This was my second time out with the captain. Him and his man on the boat were great, sharing fishing knowledge and just generally having a good time. The first time we went out was for Rooster fish and it was slow but we saw some dolphins and went and caught some Red Snapper to take home. The wind was up today but this time out we caught some snapper in the morning and then tried for something better landing a decent Jack Crevalle trolling, then back to the “honey hole” to get some more snapper...

We had a great time, captain and first mate were great and tried hard to mae sure our trip was good. we eneded up catching 4 rooster fish, a jack crevalle that the captain turned into shashimi which was so good. We also had numerous other bites. He made sure to bring live bait which was a game changer for us. There were other boats around us not having hardly any luck because they didnt bring any live bait. We 100% recommend fishing woth Captain Mendez!! Thanks again for the great day and next... More

Captain Mendez was amazing! It was a slow fishing day, and we only got 3 bites and only caught 1 mahi mahi. However, captain mendez and his crew really did their best to give us the best chance possible, including setting out 7 lines and staying an extra hour at sea to try to get us a 2nd fish. He made us ceviche with the mahi mahi and set up a spot for us to get our mahi mahi cooked when we got to shore. It was my first time deep sea fishing and captain Mendez and his crew made it a great experience!... More
