    Boat pictures are misleading

    Sport Fishing Charter – 6 Hour (AM) • 2 adults

    The boat is very outdated and it does not look anything like the photos. The AC does not work. The exhaust fumes are very strong and made us sick and difficult to enjoy reeling in our catch. The crew was accommodating and friendly. The boat is quite large and we did enjoy sitting in front to enjoy the views. We caught some mahi mahi and black fin tuna even though a lot of fishing charters reported unsuccessful trips. Giving a low review for the boat only.

    Response from Charter operator

    sorry for the fumes sometimes normal maintence is delayed due to busy season the racor filters have since been replaced as for photos they are in fact the same boat no intentional slight of hand

    Full day with Captain Eddie

    Full Day Fishing Charter • 12 adults

    This was a fishing trip with my extended family (12 adults and 4 kids) and we had a wonderful experience. We were fortunate to have the right combination of good luck and the experience of Capt Eddie and the mate. We've been on other deep sea fishing trips in Cabo San Lucas, Hawaii and Costa Rica, and this one was the best fishing of all the trips. I would definitely book this boat and crew again! We caught 8 tuna, 5 mahi mahi & 3 wahoo. A couple times, we had 2 on at once and one time we had 3 on at once. In the afternoon we went to a beautiful white-sand island beach and snorkeled. I wouldn't expect to get that many fish every day - if you get 3 or 4 fish on a trip like this, you're doing good. Thoughts regarding lunch: You can stop at a restaurant or have First Strike provide food. We brought food with us and ate on the boat - I was glad we did because this option was less expensive and it gave us extra time for fishing and snorkeling.

    Good day, good crew

    Sport Fishing Charter – 6 Hour (AM) • 3 adults

    We enjoyed our trip. The tuna weren’t biting, but that happens sometimes. We did catch quite a few snapper and and then for dinner at a dockside restaurant. Booking was very smooth. The crew was great. Amazing boat too. I would definitely book again.

    Response from Charter operator

    Capt Derk and Moose thank you.

What's biting with First Strike Charters - Bertram in Nassau

The heat and the rain finally start coming to a halt in October, and with them, so do a lot of the offshore species. Wahoo are starting to arrive, though, and there are always Bonefish inshore.
