Great time Captain put us on Marlin in the first hour of the trip. Saw 5 Marlin and caught 2. Miguel the mare was excellent and took great care of if us. If you want to have a great time and catch fish Ursula IV is the boat to go with. Thanks to Captain Manuel and Miguel did a fantastic time. Caught my bucket list fish Marlin on my birthday. Doesn’t get any better than that.

The crazy part I almost canceled and didn’t go because I went by myself. We started catching fish soon as we arrive at a previous location the captain had fished. Then took a hour ride to search for Marlins and hooked two at the same time. This had to be the best feeling ever. Bottom fishing for marlin at that. After we release the first one, after getting a picture, it was on the next. Started bottom fishing again and came across two mahi-mahi and that became dinner for the family. Been fishing a lot of places, but this is number one in my book

Where are the tuna… we started the day off fishing for tuna.  After trailing 4 large pods of dolphins not one bite. Although we saw hundreds of dolphins and several whales which was a major highlight for all we decided to leave the tuna waters and head closer to shore for Dorado where we caught a handful along with Bonita. The kids had a blast, we continued to see more whales even a very tiny baby. Along with a turtle.  The Captian and first mate were awesome.  They worked so hard to make sure the kids were able to catch something and majority of us were able to reel in a big one!!! Another highlight was coming back in photos at the arch and of course the friendly sea lion visit.  I would recommend this company, Captian and staff to anyone looking for a hard working and delivery crew.  All week we have heard nothing but empty boats coming back to the docks. Even yesterday it looked as if we were the only boat to bring in dinner.  The first mate will also filet one fish right up for you so you can take it somewhere on the docks to have them cook.  5 stars. Make sure you bring your own food and beverages. It’s a long day on the water. We brought our portable speaker as well.  This boat had plenty of space and very comfortable for our family of 6.

Let me tell you that I have been on many trips and this by far was one of the best ones that I have been on.  First, the location and people were so easy to find.  The details and location made the process a breeze.  When we got there, we immediately got our fishing license and found our captain within 5 minutes. Before we entered the gate they made sure our masks were on and took our temperature which made us feel that much safer.  The guys knew our names and faces.  When we walked to the boat we were greeted by Miguel and first mate.  Then not to mention, the boat was spotless and pristine.  They helped us aboard and helped us stow our stuff away. Then as we took off, there were seals, yes seals all just laying around, omg they were huge.  So we got a few hundred yards out and we got ice and bait.  Then it was off to fish.  We rode for about 30-45 minutes and then they started hooking up everything.  Once everything was hooked up they started dropping lines in the water.  We had about 8 rods in water at a time.  Before they could even get all the rods in the water, we had a Mahi Mahi.  Needless to say not even fishing a minute and we had a fish in the boat.  Needless to say this is how our morning went.  In about 45 minutes we had 6 in the boat.  So the captain did exactly as I requested,  let’s get a few Mahi Mahi and then let’s go fish for Marlins.  We had several bites and hooked a Striped Marlin, but unfortunately he came off before I could start fighting.  But what a great time.  Then as were were heading in, a seal jumped on the back of the boat and we actually got to pet him and feed him leftover baits.  Craziest thing ever. If you never have been, October is a great month and this crew was spectacular.  When we come back, this is my crew.

The only surprise was that you have to pay cash for the boat when you get there. Only the deposit was able to be put on credit card. That was a surprise. However, the crew was fantastic as was the fishing. Just be prepared to pay cash and you’ll have a wonderful trip!
