    Cap Dmitry is awesome!

    Bottom Fishing + Trolling 4 hr Trip • 2 adults

    We booked a half day trip for Feb, as a fun addition to our holiday. Dmitry arranged transport from our resort and was waiting when the door to the van opened. The boat was spotless and organized. We were new to Carribean fishing, but he was very patient and a great teacher. We were on fish in no time. We caught 2 nice triggerfish, some small groupers, and a few he called "great for bait" 😂. We had a blast. Like fishing with your dad or grandpa. We heard these seas are rarely calm, next time we will take dramamine. wife got a little motion sick, but he made her cofortable with cool drinks and a big hat to block the sun. When we come back with our boys, we will definately spend another day on the water with him. Thank you Dmitry.

    Targetted Grouper and Snapper

    Bottom Fishing + Trolling 4 hr Trip • 1 adult

    Trolled out past reef then set up to bottom jig grouper and Snapper. Caught about 12 grouper, and caught many bait fish about 12 to 18 inches long. Bonus we got to see an orca whale. An excellent day and a decent catch. Recommended.

    Yesterday at 7:45 AM, we headed out to the deep-sea fishing grounds with client Todd Jackson and his group, which included two women. On the way out, I set up the trolling lines. We had one solid hookup, but the fish missed and didn't stick. Once we arrived at the spot, the first fish we brought up was a triggerfish. Shortly after, Todd caught an amberjack. Everyone was waiting for a grouper, but we had to cut the trip short—one of the women in the group started suffering from seasickness, so Todd made the call to head back to port. We put the trolling lines back out on the return trip. On the way in, we added two more fish to the boat: first a 10 lb mahi-mahi, and then a 6 lb barracuda. After dropping the guests off at the dock, I decided to head back out to the spot on my own to keep fishing. I ended up landing what we were looking for—a 28 lb strawberry grouper. You can see the full day's catch in the photo. Though the trip was cut short due to the circumstances, it turned out to be a productive day. Big thanks to Todd for the great company and the excellent tip.

    We enjoyed our fishing trip and got multiple fish with us to eat afterwards. We both got seasick during the trip though so if we would do it again we would probably book a trip with a bigger boat. We were able to bring our 5 year old with us. Over all a fun day!
