Chasing Bills, half day Victories, and a

The day began under a dark, threatening sky, with heavy storm clouds hinting that nature might cut our journey short. But as the morning progressed, the weather eased up, clearing the path for an unforgettable full-day offshore charter. Our mission for the day was clear: target elite billfish (sailfish) and give our guest and his wife the trip of a lifetime as they celebrated her upcoming retirement. The morning action started strong along the offshore current lines, where we hooked into a series of energetic Mahi-Mahi (Dorados) that put on a great show. We raised a magnificent Sailfish short behind the teasers and had an intense strike, but after a quick battle, he managed to throw the hook—the classic adrenaline of billfishing! Noticing our guests wanted to secure fresh dinner, Captain Jorge “Pollo” executed a tactical pivot to inshore bottom fishing. The move was an absolute success: we brought up a variety of delicious table fish, including one Hojaran (Amber Jack), Three red snapper, two rabbits fish and a incidental Shark (safely handled and released/processed according to regulations). From worrying about storms to landing dinner and sharing a joyous milestone at sea, it was the ultimate way to step into retirement! Daily Log: Service: Full-Day Offshore/Inshore Combo Charter Target Species: Billfish (Sailfish), Mahi-Mahi, and Bottom Fish Total Catch: two Mahi-Mahi, one hojaran, three red snappers, two rabbits fish, 1 Shark, and 1 Sailfish raised/released-at-strike.
