We started in the morning, went out for Tuna, then was at the Sea Mounts all night catching Squid and Trichiurus lepturus (Sable Fish), at the morning live bait (bonito) and played with Blue Marlin and SailFish. Then get back. Great trip, not luxurious one, but if you are professional angler and love love a low cost trip using small boat, this it's it.

A dad/son day wasn't goes better. First got some for dinner at 450 feed deep (no chicken), then Sailfish for the kid, we was great with barely 12 years old. After release the trophy was a blue Marlin on the line for the father. 1 hour and so of batle. Finaled everyone got back at the end of day with a happy and deadly face.
