Mr Aber I am sorry you had a bad fishing trip, but fishing is not catching and sometimes it ends into a disappointment, taking a 4 hour trip must include the fact you like being at sea and we came in at sunset giving it the extra mile trying to land a fish. Again sorry we missed to catch and you missed to enjoy being at Sea , I hope you have enjoyed your stay in Curacao!

There was 3 adults and 4 children on our fishing trip. We didn’t catch anything but it wasn’t for the lack of effort of captain Gordo and his crew they were great. Very friendly and knowledgeable on stuff about the island and the ocean. Thanks again captain Gordo we will try again with you next time.

Great fishing on the Papucho IV

Capt. Gordo, and crew -/Enrique and Cornell were great and made for a nice 1/2 day fishing experience. My wife pulled in a wahoo by hand and we caught several tuna some of which the crew prepared as sushi (on the boat for us to sample while fishing) , we recommended the Papucho to several others attending our same conference

We didn’t catch any fish - not even a bite - but we had an awesome time. They tried very hard to find fish but they just weren’t biting that day. They were really nice and a lot of fun. Great boat - we had an awesome boat ride! We will try again if we get back to Curacao. FishingBooker, thanks for all your help. We appreciate it.
