Dress warm(waterproof jacket) in case of weather change and could get windy. No bathroom on boat. I asked the captain that I was not interested in Marlin and wanted to catch fish to eat. They can take you elsewhere to fish.

It was Fun, 4 hours might be too short 8 was a long day. Its fishing you might hook up or you might not ! Saw a whale, had Pelicans and a sea Lion jump on the back of the boat to get at the live well where the bait was stored. We let him eat it, cause he was pretty big and grumpy.

You get what you pay for....so if you want a sightseeing tour where you might catch fish go for pricepoint.....but if you want to catch fish with top notch fishermen and gear do a little research on who you're going with before booking......I wasted money trying to fish everyday on some pangas but I experienced broken gear poor equipment and disorganization

read the instructions carefully and follow diligently. theres a lot of oppurtunists around the Marina, and they gave clear directions of how to avoid them

Beware of the surprises of having to pay more than you thought the trip was advertised for. Like the fishing lisence and having to buy your own live bait. Silly stuff, to take advantage of tourists

if you’re determined to go after a specific species, stick with it. sometimes the captain will try to talk you into something else that’s hotter but the fish you want are there.

Be very clear with the captain what fish species you want to catch. It sets a better expectation. Also discuss with the captain what is biting and where so you can adjust your expectations.

Book 2 trips per vacation. When fish have lock jaw one day it doesn’t last for long . I have confidence in capt Andy and would not hesitate to fish with him again

I would ask whether the fish bite more in the am than the pm. our pm all inclusive was slow biting but we still caught Marlin and Mahi Mahi.

I would definitely recommend going in October and November when the water is warmer. you have a better chance of catching big marlin and sailfish.

Fishing was slow for us because we ONLY wanted Marlin and it was not the season for Marlin when we were there in April. We did, however, catch skipjack Tuna and Mako shark and they DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
